CHANGE IN WELL
 KNOWN COMPANY
HYRoNEMUs-BURNETT CONCERN SUCCEEDED BY R. D. BURNETT CIGAR co--MR. HYRoNEMUS RE- TIRES FROM BUSINESS.

The Hyronemus- Burnett company, which has been in the wholesale and re- tail cigar and tobacco business in Bir- mngham for the past eight years, has dissolved partnership, and in the future the business will be continued by the R. D. Burnett Cigar company. The members of the new firm are R. D. Burnett and Andrew H. Finley. The former will be the president and treasurer and the lat ter the secretary.
 w. H. Hyronemus has acquired good fortune and will retire from business. It is probable that he will return to his home in Nashville. He is one of the best known men in Birmingham.
 The new concern has four places of business at present and in October will open the fifth. It now operates the Flor ence, Hillman and Morris cigar stands, and the wholesale house at 1920 Second avenue. It will conduct the cigar stand in the First National bank building when completed.
 The R. D. Burnett company has been in existence since June 1, 1893. It was in existence for two years when MT. Hy- ronemus entered the firm. Only a desire to retire from active work prompted MT. Hyronemus to withdraw from the firm, and he and his old partner part the very best of friends. The articles of incorpora- tion for the new company were filed in the clerks office of the Probate court yesterday.

Of Long Experience.

Both of the sewall brothers were born and raised on the banks of the Mississippi and have been face to face with the levee problem all their lives. N. II. Sewall who Is at present in the real estate business in Birmingham says that hls experience with dykes began when he was a boy employed as a diver to go down under the water and seek out holes and weak places, which were then filled with bags of sand.
 The Sewall process is the result of much experimentation, and consists primarily in building water tight wall across the opening. Dove-tailed piles are driven in succession from one side of the crevasse to the other, and the wall thus formed is strengthened as the work proceeds with iron plates, braces and cables.
 Of course the size and nature of the crevasse has much to do with the method of procedure. When the opening is small and shallow 4x4 dove-taiied piles are used. In the larger ones a stronger wall Is required and the piles are proportion ately larger

CROPS THAT FLOURlSHEO
Jefferson County Not Only Did Not Buy Flour In Ante-5eIlum Days, But Made Flour to Sell-Tus-
 caloosa Trade.

MT. Grace who was born at Elyton in 1882. contributes the following interesting story of an April snow storm and of conditions in Jefferson county in ante beIlum days:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 On April 15, 1S49, a great snow storm fell which killed all vegetation from the line of Virginia to the gulf. The season had been forward and corn in south Ala bama had been plowed the second time. Cotton was chopped out, and everything promised an early crop. The wheat in Jefferson county was in head and was considered safe.
 On Saturday night and Sunday morn ing of that year, the snow fell at Knox vile to the depth of twelve inches Not a bushel of wheat or of apples or peaches was made in Jones' valley, which at that time was both a grain growing and fruit-bearing country. The crops were about equally divided between corn, cot ton and small grain
 Flour Supply. Not a barrel of flour had been brought to Jefferson county before that year. On the other hand flour was hauled from here to Tuscaloosa in wagons and was profitable to planters and mill owners.
  back sufficient of his last years wheat crop to supply his family another year Tn case of a late frost. But this year. deem- ing the danger to be over, had ground up his reserve and started his wagon to rus caloosa the day before the freeze when the cold wave came and blighted the growing crop, he mounted his horse and rode toward Tuscaloosa to overtake his wagon, and by hard riding succeeded in turning it back so that he had flour Tor another year.
 Plenty of Money.
 Yet notwithstanding the loss of the wheat crop the season turned out to be a fruitful one, and fine crops were pro- duced both of corn and cotton. At the Pleasant Hill campmeeting In the fall the Rev. Benjamin Tarrant, father Of Capt A. J. Tarrant, in rising to take collection for some church enterprise re- marked that the farmers of Jefferson county had sustained a loss on their wheat crop that might be estimated at $100,0 but that the other crops Of the county had been so abundant they had really forgotten the loss of their wheat crop; and he argued that a people who possessed such wonderful soil and cll- mate should show their gratitude to heaven by making a large contribution to His cause This sketch of the olden time may interest some of your readers.

A Money Saver.

The Sewalls claim that their process will save the government and the plant CTS along the river millions of dollars an- nually. For instance, they say that al- most s200,0O0 has already been expended in trying to close the Hymelia crevasse, and they will guarantee to close 1t for less than $60000.
 They have closed several crevasses dur ing the past year for private individuals so that the absolute practicability of their method Is assured. The government, how ever, has never recognized their process and they now feel much encouraged by the receipt of the recent communication from the government levee board. grant ing them the privilege of making a trial

Patented Process.

The Sewall brothers have been inter- ested in the question of levees, dykes and crevasses for a great many years. They have a fully patented process of their own by which they claim they can close any crevasse. But they also say that 1t is very difficult to get an opportunity to demonstrate their process because the whole scheme of levee work is controlled by the government levee board. They claim that their process is such radl- cal departure from all the old methods used by the board that when the feasi- billty of the Sewall plan is demonstrated, the planters would all insist on it's use in the future.

 Government Levee
 Board.
 
N. H. SEWALL IN LOUISIANA

N. H. Sewall left Birmingham for river points in Louisiana Monday, where he joined his brother. R. H. F. Sewall, and together they are making efforts to secure the contract from the Mississippi river levee board for closing up some of the crevasses along the river by their pat ent process. The Sewalls want especially to be afforded an opportunity to work on the Hymelia creyasse, which Is one of the largest. and which Is causing great deal of damage to property.
 Associated Press dispatches from New Orleans yesterday stated that the ievee board had addressed a communication to Sewall Bros. expressing a willingness to have them apply their proposed method concurrently with the work of the board, though without interference with the lat ter,
