ALABAMA VETERANS
IN THE POOR HOUSE
INVESTIGATION DEVELOPS FACT
THAT MANY ALABAMlANS WHO
WORE THE GRAY ARE OBJ
JEcTs OF CHARITY.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 3.-Inciden-
tai to the building of a Confederate Vet
Grams home near Montgomery, the origi-
nator of which as well as the donor OF
the land required was Capt. ]. M. Falk-
ner, general counsel for the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad company, 1t has
been discovered that there are a number
of veterans in the poor houses Of the state
as follows: In Jefferson county, i; Walk
er, 2; Perry 1; Etowah, 3; Talladega, p
Washington, 1; Macon, l.; Randolph, l.
Cherokee, 2.
The investigation leading to the ascer-
tainment of these facts was brought about
by some opposition to the home from
some of the veterans themselves, who con-
tended that the veterans should be sup
ported at his home by a larger donation
to their cause from the state treasury.

Lumber Attached.

On libel filed by George F. Craig &
Co., United States Marshal Short and
Deputy Marshal Clark went to Lewes
last Friday, and attached SO, 900 feet of
yellow pine lumber, which was recently
part of a cargo on the schooner Annie
L. Bailey, which was wrec ed near
Lewes, and the parties claiming the
lumber have been directed to appear in
the United State Court in this city on
April 10th.
This is a pOssessOry action, the object
being to get possession of the lumber,
which, it is alleged, is claimed by par
ties who found it along the shore and
have stacked it up. 1t is understood
that the finders will claim salvage.
When the Bailey was wrecked the
North American Tightening Co. took
the contract to raise her, and in order
to facilitate the work it was decided to
lighter the cargo. Accordingly $4,000
feet of lumber was thrown overheard,
with the intention of recovering it af
forward, but it was taken care of by
others who found it, hence the litiga,
ton.

the Democrats can say which they

THEN AND NOW.

When Cyrus, King Of Persia, built a
house for God, the people became as
one, in giving for that object. "And
all they that were about them, strength
,sned their hands with vessels of silver,
with gold, with goods and with beasts,
and with precious things, besides all
that was willingly offered"
This was in the far away Then, under
law. We live in the Now, in the dis
pensatiOn of Grace. God has done
much more for US, than he had for that
king and his people. Whatever is
done for the UNCONVENTIONAL church
organizations, or Sunday Schools, is
counted by the people as giving to God.
The scripture omits any account of Oys-
ter suppers, strawberry festivals, or So
Ieials given for the raising of funds for
King Cyrus. Now, we have a system
of barter; we give time and means in
exchange for "fun;" and something
good to the palate. Have to have it to
create friendliness among the chris
tians. $50 they say Children have
to be kept in the Sunday Schools by
the prospect of beach parties, Children,
Day, and the Christmas tree. The idet
has been advanced, that if our boys anC
| girls were taught to give more, and re
ceive less, they would make better mel
and women, and enjoy life more her
and hereafter. This is not so much il
opposition to the "gOod times" as t,
exchanging money for ''fun, and thei

we gave it to God.
