 erian Passes Away.
Lawyer of Distinction and Judge of the Circuit Court sSccumbs to Neuralgia of the Heart
 While Talking to
 a Friend.

Judge John Gindrat Winter of the Mont gomery Circuit Court, died suddenly about 0 o'clock last night in the door way of one of his neighbors. where he had been called on professional busi- ness. s@ tsss
 The cause of his death was neuralgia of the heart. The end came swiftly while Judge Winter was leaving the house of Mrs. M. A. Covington at 4 Goldthwaite street, where he had been called to exc cute Mrs. Covington's will. He was con- versing with MT. c. B. Townsend when he was seized with an, attack which ter minated fatally in moment.
 Judge Winter was down town yester- day and in good health, and good spirits. He went to his home at 50 Goldthwaite street early in the evening and expected at one time to participate in the annual banquet of the Montgomery Blues of which he was an honorary member and at one time captain.
 He had an appointment with Mrs. Gov ington. who had prepared her will. Mir. Townsend of Goldthwaite street and Mir. E. c. Ramage who lives with Mrs. Ramage in the house with Mrs Coving- ton.

wood Mines.
 Montevallo, Feb. 22.-(Special. )-Mayor Mel Drennen. of Birmingham, has pur- chased the Randall-Cary coal mine at Dogwood, and 1t Is said that a company is to be organized to reopen and work it. The property Was sold at bankrupt sale, and was knocked down to MT. Dren- nen at 5000.
 Before the property was thrown into bankruptcy. about sevSnty-five convicts were worked in the mine. and the output always found a ready sale. The machin- cry for operating it is still on the ground, but it has deteriorated in value because of exposure to weather during the three years the mine has been idle. The coal is said to be of the Montevallo seam, and no better than that is found anywhere. It Is the general opinion that Mayor Dren- nen has secured a valuable property if properly managed.

MOST AMERICAN OF SECTIONS

In avery able editorial the Baltimore
Sun invites the attention of the people
of the North to the fact that the
Southern States are not, as is generally
supposed, solid against all the policies
of the Republican party, but that
which really unites the South is "an
instinct of seIf-defense" which is
aroused by interference with it's local
race question. The Sun well says that
today the South is the most American
and the most patriotic part of the
Union. If is circumstances as respects
the race question are peculiar, this is
not s fault, but the result of historical
causes over which 1t has no control.
It desires only to be left alone to solve
in peace the economic problems with
which it is concerned. It desires to
cooperate with the other States of the
Union in public affairs, sharing the
common life of the nation and partici-
pating with the rest in its benefits. AT
present the South enjoys large meas
ure of material prosperity. It's agricuI-
ture, mines, manufacturers, numbering
interests and railways have been rap.
dlly developed. Capital Is being &C.
cumulated locally and outside capital
is pouring in. Movement, energy,
progress and hopefulness-these are
the characteristics of the situation that
strike all who travel in Dixie at the
present time, The Southern people
are in fact absorbed in the industrial
problems that confront them and do
not wish to be diverted into the barren
field of national politics.

The Washington Post, which has ever
been a consistent opponent of the Re-

IS IN full control of all branches of the

the cards that Republican victory
this year weuld lead to such an effort,
but it does not believs that it W II sue

MET DEATH IN SUBWAY.
Peculiar Accident which Results Fa.
tally to SIGNAL Man.

New York, Nov. IA peculiar &C
| cident in the subway which resulted
in the instant death of William H
Mcmillan, a signal man, has caused
great excitement among the passenger!
aboard an express train who for a few
minutes before announced that the
train was on fire and tried to escape.
Mcmillan had been adjusting a sig
nal when the train rushed upon him
The third rail arm on the first cal
threw him down and he was instantly
killed. His clothing caught the emer
gency trigger, threw off the current
and set the air brakes on the whole
train which stopped very suddenly. The
cars damned together by the sudden
impact and the iron gate fell to the
third rail, causing a short circuit.
Blue flames shot up around the cars
and frightened the passengers almost
out of their wits, but the guards re.
manned coolly at their posts, refusing
to open the doors, and in a few min.
utes the scare died out.
