THE LEAGUES REVENGE.

THE LEAGUES REVENGE.
a IS we stood outside Of Craigs
.EA shack in the dim starlight we
NsssSI could not hide from ourselves
g&8SJ that we We're beaten. It was
not so much grief as blind fury that
filed my heart, and, looking at the
faces Of the men about me, read the
same feeling there. But what could
we do? The yells Of carousing miners
down at Slavin's told US that nothing
could be done with them that night.
To be so utterly beaten and unfairly
and with no chance Of revenge was
maddening.
'T'd like to get back at 'em," said
Abe, carefully repressing himself.
"I've got it, men," said Graeme sud-
denly. This town does not require
all the whisky there is in it." And he
unfolded his plan. 1t was to gain pos.
session Of Slavin's saloon and the bar
of the Black Rock hotel and clear out
all the liquor to be found in both these
places. l did not much like the idea,
but Geordie said: "I'm ga'en after the
lad. I'll hae naethin' tae dae VII yon.
It's no that easy. an it's a sinfu'
waste"
But Abe was wild to try it, and
Shaw was quite willing, while old Mel
son sternly approved.
Nelson, you and Shaw get couple
Of our men and attend to the saloon.
Slayin and the whole gang are up at
the Black Rock, so you won't have
much trouble. but come to US as soon
as you can"
And so we went our ways.
Then followed a scene the like Of
which l can never hope to see again,
and it was worth a mans seeing, but
there were times that night when I
wished I had not agreed to follow
Graeme in his plot.
As we went up to the hotel I asked
Graeme:
"What about the law Of this?'
"Laww he replied Indignantly. "They
haven't troubled much about law in
the whisky business here. They get
keg Of high wines and some drugs and
begin operations. No." he went on; IF
we can get the crowd out and ourselves
In We'll make them break the law In
getting US out The law won't trouble
us over smuggled whisky. 1t will be
great lark, and they won't crow too
loud over the league"
did not like the undertaking at first,
but as l thought of the whole wretched
illegal business fiourishing upon the
weakness Of the men in the mines and
camps, whom I had learned to regard
as brothers, and especially as l thought
of the towards that did for Nixon,
let my scruples 90 and determined

THIS PICTURE OF ALABAMA SENATOR'S
 30 YEARS AGO RECALLS TR0UBLOUS DAYS

afterwards became Probate Judge of Chambers County and represented that County in the last Constitutional Conven- ton; Dr R. H. Irwin. distinguished Democrat and able man of Wilcox Coun- fy, who is dead; Daniel Coleman, then of Limestone. but who is now leading citizen of Huntsville. and the late J. D. Driesbach. a strong minded. scholarly and able citizen of Baldwin County. who has long since passed into the Great Beyond
 Another able Democratic member of this State Senate of thirty years ago was J. A. Terrell of Tallapoosa who still re- tains his citizenship in that section of the State and was candidate for the same office in the primary election last Monday.
 Because of its unusualness to them, per- haps, younger Alabamians will find more interest in the Republican and negro members of the body who are shown in this old picture.
 The face of J. L. Pennington, who rep resented Lee County. is easily recogniz- ed by persons familiar with the body and with public men of the reconstruction period Mir. Pennington. after the over throw of the Republicans. went West and was appointed territorial Governor of Dakota. He returned to Alabama. how ever; and about two years ago died in Anniston.
 There were four negro Senators at this time ,and they were given good positions in the group. They were A. H. Curtis of Perry County, Jerry Harslson of Dallas County. J. W. Jones of Lowndes County, and B. F. Royal of Bullock County.
 The Democrats being in the majority. all of the clerks and other attaches of the Senate were of that party. Col M. l.. Woods of Montgomery was Secretary; B. F. Garrett of Coosa County was As- sistant Secretary; W. V. Chardavoyne of Lawrence County was Engrossins Clerk, James H. Graham of Perry County was Enrolling Clerk, Thomas H. Taylor of Montgomery was Assistant Enrolling Clerk, and W. H. Clanton of Montgom- cry was Assistant Engrossing Clerk.
 The faces of each of these officials are shown in the photograph as are the faces of the young pages, likewise Democrats. The pages were Charles Halls, Pickett Woods and Steve Sykes of Montgomery. Messrs. Halls and Sykes are now we'll known citizens of Montgomery. MT. Woods, who was a son of Colonel Woods, died several years ago in Washington, D. c.
 This old picture comes to the Depart ment of Archives like a voice out of the past. It tells of sombrous days in Ala bama and 1t will be carefully preserved. In the golden years of Alabamas history. 1t will be a curiosity
