port of the poor soldiers This bill for
his relief WIS, however vetoed by Elk
Governor Joseph f. Johnston, and as a
result thereof not one dollar of the
amount so due him by the state, has been
paid.
At present there are only two survi-
vors of the original founders of the
Southern university, Judge Coleman and
DR.. A. IL. Mitchell
Judge Coleman was married to a daugh-
ter Of John c. Phares in Sumpter county,
and to them three sons have been born.
One is at present register in the Supreme
court of the state
A blographer says of Judge Coleman
''He is a Freemason, and odd Fellow
and consistent member Of the Methodist
Episcopal church. He Is profound
scholar, a polished gentleman a superior
lawyer a graceful orator, an entertain
ing conversationalist, and above all a man
in whom there Is no guile, and a citizen
against whose character and good name
there never has been a mark"
Judge Coleman moved to Birmingham
from Greensboro in 1888 and was en-
gagged in the practice of law at the Bir-
mingham bar until he was appointed
Judge of the Circuit court four years ago.
Since then almost every public question
relating to the city has been passed on
by him and sustained by the Supreme
court.
In a large --oiume entitled poets of
America" a steel engraving of Judge
Coleman appears, together with num-
Der of poems from his pen In the sketch
accompanying --.e picture and poems the
following high compliment is paid him
as literary scholar:
Though Judge Coleman has been en-
gagged nearly all of his useful life in law
and politics, he has found time for large
literary requirements; his poetry, in the
language of one of his reviewers, seems
to belong to the polished age of Pope and
DRYDEN, rather than to this hurried,
restless age of ours. He is an ardent
friend of learning and has been largely
instrumental in the success of several
institutions of learning in the southern
states. Some of the poems from the pen
of Judge Coleman are almost unparallel-
ed In thought and exquisite expression :
1t is probable that but few people in
Birmingham know that Judge Coleman
is a poet of reputation, but such Is
fact.

AN EXPLOSION
Caused by Pressure of Rain Water.

An Iowa man claims it rained so hard
in his city recently that it burst a bar
rel in his back yard. He explains that
both ends were out of the barrel and the
open bung hole was turned up, the rain
poured in the bung hole faster than it
could run out the ends. Hence the ex-
plosion.
Some piano representatives, make as
ridiculous statements about their goods
and the people who buy their Instruments
are the victims.
Did you ever stop to think that the
most wonderful fairy stories are not al
ways those told to children by devoted
grand parents? Prospective piano pur-
chasers often hear tales that are fairly
unparalleled for audacious briliancy of
imagination, etc, but to the readers of
newspapers at least, these fairy tales
have become uninteresting. The correct
system is q great thing, the test of a
correct system is its fruits.
The correct system, as installed in the
city of Birmingham. by The Cable Piano
company, has proved revelation in the
pinao business and brought them results
the like of which has never been known
in Birmingham. They have simplfed
the matter of piano purchasing so that
child can go to their big store, zoos First
avenue, and buy an instrument without
paying a penny too much for 1t. The
Cable company advertise facts. and make
only such representations as can be veri-
fed We are Offering Inducements that
cannot be duplicated in the state of Ala
bama. and in points of quality and price,
all things considered. have almost elm
mated competition. 1t is an established
fact that we are the largest manufact-
urers of pianos and organs in the world
and the only manufacturers in the state
of Alabama selling their product direct TO
the people. We have many imitators but
no equals.
We have sold numbers of fine pianos
which are now being held for Christmas
delivery; cannot we deliver you one?
The thousands that visited our big store
during the last ten days can testify as to
the elaborate display of fine pianos. 1t
is the finest ever shown on a southern
floor, and the prices and terms cannot
be duplicated by any dealer.

Christmas at the Postoffice.

Uncle Sam is an exceedingly important
factor in the distribution of Christmas
presents.
Already the postofflce lobby presents
every day an animated and shifting scene
of people crowding around the windows
to mail presents to loved ones or friends.
Postmaster Hughes several years ago
inaugurated the feature of having add
tional men stationed In the lobby to
weigh packages and sell stamps, and also
to open an additional window for regis
tering the more valuable packages. OF
course this aids to no little extent in the
handling OF the extra business attendant
upon the holidays and 1t is appreciated
by the public.
The postmaster urges all persons who
send packages to have them mailed as
early as possible, and IL this Is done an
extraordinary rush on Christmas eve
and Christmas day will be cro.ded.
Thousands of extra packages will go
through the Birmingham postoftlce within
the next few days. and each ene will
carry with 1t applness to some one at a
distance.
In speaking of Christmas presents, it
is a fact that many people think only OF
the value in money attached to gift.
This Is an entirely wrong idea for one
to possess. A present, be it ever so hum
BILE or cheap in price, carries with it love
and remembrance. Many a small pres
ent this year will represent a sacrifice,
and behind the sacrifice, love and af-
lection Many present of precious
jewels will not give the receiver as much
happiness as win fall to some one In
more humble circumstances who receives
a gift the price of which was only a
small sum.
