MINUS THIRTY-sIx CHILDREN.

pr. M. Whitney Swayne Tells of His
 Experience at MOrenci.
 St. Louis, Oct. 9.--Minus thirty six of the fifty-seven children with which he came through St. Louis ten days ago, enroute to the southwest. pr. M. Whit ney Swayne, Superintenant of the New York founding asylum. again passed through, this time bound for New York.
 pr. swayne denied that any of the children were missing. but admitted his stay in Morenci. Ariz,, had hardly been that which he had anticipated
 The trouble" pr. Swayne stated, was due to the fact that one of our fathers, unfamiliar with the commun- ity. had recommended that we place certain children in certain families. We had already established two colon ies' In Kansas and Arkansas and had twenty-one children left When about half of them had been placed in Moren- ci, the unfitness of some of the fami- lies to rear children was brought to my attention, and l at once started out to collect the babes who range in years from to 5. We soon had quite q crowd about headquarters Some of its members were those from whom I had taken the children and others were those who were attempting to dictate where the children be placed.
 They all presented hostile ap- pearance. and I thought it best to withdraw. As if to frighten me, thev gathered about the coach in which we travelled and flourished their guns. The children were not old enough to ap- preciate their danger and we had no panic.
 Some of the sisters were quite un- strung. and We left as soon as DOS sible. l am sure that we have record of all the children we took and that none Is unaccounted for. I shall take the remaining twenty-one to Nevv York, via Chicago and they will ha placed in some other part of the coun- try

As a Georgian Views It.

Fort Gaines Recorder.
 Over in the good city of Montgom- cry. Ala, they are having high jinks over the propisition of some Birming- ham iconoclasts to build a 'steen-story steel office building in their court square-and by the way, 1t isn't a square at all When the first people began to settle in the old Indian town or three towns at the same time, being somewhat greedy. At the same time the settlers were contrary and refused to pull together. The consequence was that they laid off streets from differ ent parts of the compass and when the towns met they didn't fit. The com bination left a several-cornered space of about an acre. with five streets emp tying in 1t, that didn't belong to any body. It was a favorite spot for chill dren to play and goats to browse. and the solemn red man to stand around and wonder about things.
 After a while Montgomery spread out enough to afford court house any they built it on this vacant place and then 1t got the name of Court Square. Three the court house and kept it from get ting away. They also built market house to keep 1t company. But time passed and Montgomery began to put on airs. Then the court house and the market house were moved away and the Square was left to ramble around by itself. It was a good place for mar ket wagons to camp. for niggers to loaf and for children to play. It was also handy place to dump trash.
 Then some more time passed and Montgomery got a public spirited mayor who got busy and had d handsome fountain erected on the vacant spot with an iron railing around 1t to keep the children out. The fountain would really be q handsome ornament to the city if more care was taken of 1t, but the city authorities some times let the water stop running, and the fountain gets rusty and needs washing and painting to make it as pretty as it might be. For all that, 1t is not only nice ornament, but the square af- lords almost the only open space near the business part of the city.
 up Birmingham way who want to lease thereon modern steel office building. twenty stories high, which will look down on everything in the good old town. That Is the cause of the talk and some of them are getting hot under the collar at the idea of shutting up the square, despoiling the fountain, and wiping out one of the old land rks of the city, and spelling what is really a very desirable breating place for the people. We do not blame the objectors the least bit. for the square should re main as it is and they should make 1t the ornament and pride of the city instead of turning 1t into a business block.

 Montgomery has an excellent and commodious depot, suitable to the needs and Importance of that thriving city. Birmingham does not begrudge Montgomery this possession, 1t simply asks for justice to itself. The present passenger station was built when Bir- portant as 1t Is at present. Indeed. the facilities for handling freight have been quadrupled in the same period. It is not strange, therefore, that a depot that was ample fifteen or more years ago Is now entirely inadequate. It is not sympathy that Birmingham wants, but 1t Is demanding fair treatment" and fair treatment means q new union dannt

W. L. HENDERSON, INDUSTRIAL AGENT OF THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY, IS IN CITY LOOKING
 FOR slTE-DETAlLs UNKNOWN.

", l.. Henderson, land and industrial agent of the Southern railway, with headquarters in Mobile, was in Birming- ham yesterday looking over the site for a large manufacturing plant which will probably be located here in the near future.
 For some time MT. Henderson has been in communication with the man who proposes to erect the plant, and prac- tlealIy all the arrangements have been completed for Birmingham to get this industry. It is expected that the people who form the company will be in Bir- mingham shortly after the first of the year, and that they will then give out a definite statement regarding their plans and intentions.
 The company is capitalized at about s10O,0OO and that much money will be spent in the erection of a plant. which will employ about 70 or loo men. all skill ed workers. For some time MT. Hender- son has been in communication with the representatives of land companies in Bir- mingham regarding site and one has practically been chosen.
 The company has all the capital 1t needs and no local capital will be re- quired in order to secure the plant for Birmingham. The nature of the articles manufactured was withheld by MT. Hen- derson at the request of those interested in the company. He states however that it is a plant which wia flourish in Birm- ingham, and one which will add another to the list of varied and valuable in- dustries.
 MT. Henderson also has several smaller plants on his list of correspondents which he expects to locate in Birmingham.

cOURTMARTlAL NOT HELD. Officers of Brandon Light Artillery Were Absent and Trials Postponed.

Because Captain E.ward D. Smith was off on fishing trip and First Lieutenant J. Quincy Smith was also out of the city, the much talked of courtmartial of twelve members of the Brandon Light artillery, set for last night, was post poned. Captain Smith has been down on the Little River for several days fishing and Lieutenant Smith was called out of town yesterday afternoon. He told Junior Second Lieutenant Fucker that he was going to Palos and if possible would re- turn at s:SO o'clock by a freight train. He failed to arrive, however, and the courtmartial proceedings were postponed until the third Tuesday night in Jan uary.
 All of the National Guardsmen were on hand last night ready for trial. In ad- dition there were large number of wit nesses and attorneys on hand.
 Instead of the courtmartial the regular monthly muster and drill was held.
