WELL KNOWN OLD
SLAVE IS BURIED
Lewis Adams of Tuskeqee Helped
Booker Washington In Found
ing the Institute.

Tuskegee, May Especial Lewis
Adams, a well-known and respected
negro of this city. was buried here yester-
day afternoon. He was one of those
peaceful, Industrious, courteous ex-slaves
the type which is so steadily dsap-
pearing.
Adams was a timer and when Booker
Washington conceived the idea of in
dustrial school for his race Lewis Adams
was the man he looked to for assistance
in putting his ideas into execution. In
deed it has been said that Adams was re-
sponsible for the Original idea. At any
rate he has been moving spirit in the
progress and development of the institu-
ton from its incipency. His humble defer
entail mein has had a good influence
over the students and has done much to
keep down the naughty arrogance which
is too apt to characterize the educated
negro youth
Only few months ago Adams was re-
tired from active work on a pension.
His death was very sudden. He went
to church Sunday morninis and was sing
ing in the choir when a stroke of apo
plexy ended his life. The funeral pro-
cession of yesterday is said to have been,
with possibly one exception, the largest
ever seen in Tuskegee.

7 Selma, May ESPECIAL 1.-THE report is
current that the Pensacola, Memphis and

ed between Memphis and Pensacola and
which Is to pass through Demopolis is
DESTROYS of building a branch line from
Birmingham through the coal and iron
fields through Selma to point that will
join the main line before it crosses the
Alabama river
The matter has been brought to the at
tention of Selmans through a direct prop
osition to build the line if a certain bonus
10 given by the citizens of Selma. The
matter was presented to a number of
leading citizens yesterday called for the
purpose but the figures named are ply
sically beyond the possibility of Selma
raising them. Over two hundred thous-
and dollars is asked and the citizens who
heard the proposition replied that the
difference in the amount Selma might
raise and the amount asked was so great
that even counter proposition could not
be made.
Selma Is exceedingly anxious for a line
from Blocton down the Cahaba valley to
this city. The Louisville and Nashville
railroad is said to be the logical agency
to build the line as it would give THAI
road a practical double track from Bir-
mingham to Mobile and Flomaton, where
the lines cross, one going to Pensacola
and the other TO Mobile. 1t is the firm
belief of this people that the Louisville
and Nashville will surely build this line
in time.
