A HISTORIC OLD FLAG MRS. L0MAX SENDS IT TO
 STATE ARCHIVES. Banner of Chattahoochee Guards Which Went Through the Mex
 ican War-Other Relics
 of Great Interest.

The State Department of Archives and History has received from Mrs. c. A. Lomax of Montgomery, several additions of a unique and rare character. Of principal interest among the gifts is the old flag of the Chattahooche Guards com manded by Captain Tennent Lomax in the Mexican War >
 The flag is made of white silk and Is about 5xS feet in size. One one side is painted in colors the arms of the State of Alabama, and on the reverse side is painted the arms of the United States. The flag was made by the ladies of Flu faula and presented to this company men and boys. It Is surrounded by a beautiful border and Is in a most excel- dent state of preservation It was made in 1si7 and Director Thomas M. Owen of the Department thinks that 1t Is the oldest flag in the State.
 The preservation of this historical relic recalls some interesting history. Captain LomaX. later the gallant General Lomax vile District, South Carolina. September 20, 1920. As a young man he removed to Alabama where he begun the study of law. His studies were interrupted by the Mexican War, for which he raised the Chattahoochee Guards. Joining Seibels's battalion he enlisted for the war and was sent with his command to Orizaba, Mexico, where he was made Military Governor. While there he led an expedition of sixty men to scale the summit of the extinct volcano of Orizaba and all his men dropping behind from exhaustion he alone reached the summit where he planted the stars and stripes.
 It Is believed that Captain Lomax was the first white man who ever made the ascent. Humboldt. who Is said to have first made the ascent was, according to his own statement, not there until some years later.
 Mrs. Lomax also presented the banner of Lomax Fire Company No. 1. one of the old volunteer fire companies of Montgom- cry. This banner Is one of the finest of its kind. and its preservation is tribute to the gallant fire laddies who belonged to the company. On one side Is the infant figure of the volunteer fireman. a bugle to his lips. from which is coming the word ''Forward Below the figure is the mot to Younger but Equal"
 This company was organized in Septem- Der, lS70 and named in memory of Gen. eral Lomax who fell at Seven Pines After the company disba nded the ban n@r ard an oil portrait of General Lomax were presented to Mrs. Lomax. Some months ago Hon. Tennent Lomlx, pre- sented the portrait to the Historical De- partment and his mother has completed the gift.
 Mrs. Lomax has likewise added to the collection of the Department a number of rare and interesting documents and papers left by General Lomax.

TAKEN IN BATTLE
THE THRILLING EXPERIENCE
 OF CAPTAIN WESTBRooK.
For a Year After His Capture He Was Moved From One Prison to Another And Was Finally
 Exchanged.

Confederate force under command ., r,riyadier-5eneral John A. McAusland hsa attacked. on July 3rd, 1864, block house ten miles west of Martinsburg, w. Va. Captain N. s. Westbrook with the remnants of Companies B and F or the 1s5th Ohio Volunteers, made gallant de- fense but when a six-gun battery was brought to bear upon his position, fur- ther resistance became a useless sacrifice of life For a year after his surrender, Captain Westbrook. who now lives at Ripley, Ill. was confined in Southern prisons. In telling his experience, he says:
 ''They took me from one place to an other till I had been in nearly all the prisons of the Confederacy, and by the time I was exchanged at Annapolis in the spring of 1865. l was reduced to physical wreck. The exposure caused sciatic rheumatism which became chronic and did not leave me until thirty years afterward when I took Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and was cured
 "The disease affected my entire sys- tenn. In addition to the agonies of the rheumatism had indigestion in its worst form. together with kidney trouble and heart failure. 4 was getting thor oughly used up.'
 How did you come to take Dr. Will Hams Pink Pills" was asked.
 "A neighbor of mine. James M. Stout. was cured of rheumatism by this rem edy when he was so bad that he could not straighten up. So I, thought what cured him would cure me. And was right"
 Rheumatism is a disease of the blood, External applications may afford tempo rary relief but to cure the disease 1t Is necessary to treat it through the blood. pr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People go directly to the seat of the disorder, purifying and enriching the blood by eliminating poisonous elements and re- newing health-giving forces. They are positive specific not only for rheuma- tism. but for all diseases arising from poor blood or weakened nerves. They are sold at fifty cents a box, or six boxes for two dallars and half. and may be had of all druggists or direct by mall from Dr. Williams Medicine Company. Schenectady, N. Y.

Found Stolen Watches.

q. W. McCormackh an employe of R. Knauff and Co.,. plumbers, on Eighteenth Street between Second and Third Ave- nues, made peculiar find in Fourth al- ley between Twenty-first and Twenty sec ond Streets this morning. when, repairing some water pipe connections they dug into the ground about twelve inches and found three watches close together, one gold and two silver time pieces.
 One of the watches had the name of c. l.. Ledbetter thereon and 1t was discov- cred that 1t was the time piece of MT. Ledbetter which was stolen some time ago by an unknown burglar. It Is now believed by the police that the watches Is part of the booty which was stolen by John Black the negro who was shot to death by F. J. Levine a few weeks ago. while breaking into the Levine residence Levine saw a negro jumping into a win- dow of his residence at o'clock in the morning and he fired a shot at him. The negro disappeared but his dead body was found in an adjoining yard the next morning.
 Black lived near where the plumbing work was done today. The police went to searching the premises after the above find was made and already another gold watch has been found some gold rings and other things. Considerable of the prlvate residence burglary has ceased since Black was killed.

As to Hosiery

The openwork stockings which prevailed last season will he revived, Surley they have already been revived, for one sees them every day upon the street. even in chilly weather. They are to be worn very openwork and decidedly on the sIip-stitch order Many of them. even for street wear. will have a tiny colored figure em- broidered in them. But the real stock ings of the coming season will be worn at home.
 Home stockings, or house stockings, put on in pattern. with artificial flowers. crushed flat and appllqued on. with beau tifuI bits of silk put on in big polka dots. with many marvelously beautiful dashes of handwork which show all the thought lavished upon any other artistic creat- ion of dress.

Without friends in Montgomery and with no one knowing whence he came, Ed Alverod. a carriage painter, about 50 years old took strychnine yesterday and lied at the Cannon House on the corner of Ribb and Lee Streets.

 Alverod evidently died in great pain. His features were drawn and his body doubled. On his person was found the back of an envelope on which was rudely
 Dear Joe. forgive and forget, I leave everything to you.
 No one at the house knew to whom the message was directed.
 A certificate of dismissal from quaran- tine for smallpox was also found on the person of the suicide. It was signed "F. E. Baldridge, M. D., office White Build ing" and stated that 'J. D. Blythe was fully convalescent from smallpox.
 There was nothing in the effects of the dead man to indicate where he came from.
 In a prescription envelope from the drug store of E. c. Andrew was found a number of small packages of strychnine. The envelope was marked poison" and TO grains
 Alverod, as he gave his name was a painter for the Montgomery Carriage Works and Mrs. J. II. Cannon said he had been at her house about three weeks.
 The foreman of the carriage works said that the painter was on the time book as Ed Alverod" and had been in Montgom- cry several weeks. He had said that he was originally from New York.
 None of the boarders at the Cannon House knew much about Alverod. It was said that he had a friend John DeLoe, whose whereabouts are not known.
 The employers of the painter knew lit- tie of him except that he had been em- ployed about three weeks ago and was a first-class carriage painter.
 Coroner Tice said last night that the body would be held pending investigation.
