fact, he is one of the principal opera
tors in the district.
Mr. Roberts is the principal owner
and controls the "Silver Legion" mine,
which is Incorporated under the name
Eof the "Eldorado Nevada Mining Co."
He also owns and operates the
Top Notch" and Sun

The Combination" is the old

has been and still is one of the big
producers of the Eldorado district.
Like many of the properties in the

Sunday School Workers

Comparatively few persons in Birming-
ham stopped to consider the class of peo-
pie that the State Sunday School conven-
ton brought to this CITY, remarked a
Sunday school man yesterday.
1T may be a surprise to many to know
that most of the men who are devoting
so much time and money to the work
are among the busiest business, and pro-
fessional men of the state.
There is not a buster man i'm North
Alabama, perhaps, than the president of
the convention, e. j. Russell of Athens,
who allowed himself to be reelected to
the position which requires so much time
and attention. He is an extensive dealer
in lumber, real estate, and looks after
other important interests.
so it is with the other officials and
leaders in the association. There are
judges, lawyers, merchants and busy men
from almost every calling in the state,
who are cheerfully giving their time and
money to the great work of advancing
the Sunday schools of the state"

Peace at Last in Washington.

On the 18th of May Blue and
Gray" meeting is to be held in Wash
ington. The movement was organ
lied at st. Louis last summer, and five
federal and five Confederate veterans
were appointed at st. Louis to ar
range for the approaching meeting in
Washington. Among those who are
concerned in the meeting are Gen
Joe Wheeler, Gen. George P. Harrison
and Gen J. S. Chase of Florida, who
received forty-eight wounds at Get
tysburg. Private John Allen should
be present, so that the privates of the
two armies will have at least one
representative. 1t is remarkable at
this late day how few privates are
living and how many officers.
1t is now little bit more than forty
years since the return of peace, and
1t is strange indeed that so long a
period had to elapse before Blue
and Gray meeting could be held at
the national capital. The business
men who wore the gray and those
who wore the blue were ready to fra
ternize year after the war, but there
were those who were not so ready and
willing, and perhaps it was well to
wait forty years.
Let us hope the Washington meet
ing will be marked with cordial good
feeling and fellowship based on mu-
tual respect and on real patriotism.
Let us nope Mr.. Crumpacker will not
be there. nor any disturber of the ma
tional peace, and the governors of
Arkansas and Mississippi would be
mlsfits at the Blue and the Gray meet

IN HOTEL LoBBIES
Mr.. Wat.,o Amendments.

There is much gossip IN municipal
political circles concerning Mayor-elect
Wards appointments when he assumes
office, said member of the City Coun-
ell last night.
Our new Mayor has, it seems been
very quiet about who are to be the
ehairmen of the various standing com
mittees of the City Council. In this the
Mayor always has some very nice plums
to hand to his constituents. There is
one report going tie rounds to the eff
feet that Mayor Ward will make no
changes for the present in the personnel
of the committees
''Other reports say that he has decided
upon who shall be the ohaifmen of the
finance, the streets, the judiciary the
fire and water eervice and other import
ant committees, and that his appoint
ments will be somewhat of a surprise
when they are announced.
THE Mayor also appoints his private
secretary, which is very good position.
Other than the stcnding committees and
private secretary, the Mayor of Biz
mingham has but little appointing
power.

Secondary Education.

Il was greatly pleased with the ad-
dress made a. Columbia, S. c., yesterday
by DR.. J. II. Phillips, the superintendent
of the Birmingham schools said prom
inent lawyer at the Hilman last night.
1T was well, too, that he dwelt upon the
Importance of secondary education,' in
&C ntradistinetion to what is known as the
higher learning Here in the south we
have been tempted to ignore the import
ance of the high school and the academy.
| believe most heartily in the college and
the university but l am one of those
who think that unless students learn
while in the secondary school to think
straight and to express their thoughts
with skill orally and in writing, it is well
RICH impossible for them 10 do so later
when they get to college. The time for
maturing the educational materials is the
period passed in the high school and
academy.
Here at the south we need great uni
versities-we need to light the fires from
the top-but we need also a system of
excellent high schools"

in order to get back $4,000 would not
last long.
The Equitable policies in force at
the end of last year in the state ag-
gregated s12.402,42S, an increase of
something over million dollars dur
ing the year. At the rate of increase
maintained in 1904 the Equitable Life
will soon collect a million dollars a
year in this state. No doubt life in.
surance is in many instances desira.
Bile, but it is not desirable to the state
as unit when it costs 1891 900 to Sc
cure the return of S9S,Oo0 per year.
On that basis it is too expensive. 1t
costs more than it is worth.
The south has reached a point in its
commercial progress that calls for a
strong and trustworthy life insurance
company. It is very plain from the
figures furnished by the Equitable
Life Itself that absentee insurance IS
much too expensive.

Il is a pity
Would move a monster.
king Henry VIII.
Mr.. Rockefeller at Tuskegee.

The Gulf Refining company is a
southern plant handling southern oil
in a southern town. It therefore
thinks 1t has a RICH. to sell its re-
fined product in another southern
town, Tuskegee. Messrs. Rockefeller
and Rogers say it shall not sell oil in
Tuskegee-that the people of Tuslle-
gee and Macon county shall use oil
refined and manipulated by the Stand
ard Oil, or else resort to the old-time
pitch pine knots.
The issue has been joined at Tus-
kegee, where a southern refining
company proposes to fight 1t out with
the obstreperous, monopolizing Rogers
and Rockefeller. 1t is a battle in
which Rockefeller's religion and Rog-
ers claims to moral superiority will
cut no figure. The weapons employed
are solely cut rates, and the Gulf Re-
fining company declines to back down
and out at the command of the Rock
efeller concern.
The tactics employed at Tuskegee
should be closely watched, and if need
be the attention of Commissioners
Garfield should be called thereat. He
ascertained in Chicago that the beef
trust is practically an eleemosynary
Institution, and he might see at Tus-
kegee another charitable institution
in full bloom.
The Standard Oil lays down the
fundamental proposition that Tuske-
gee is too small a town ito he oc-
cupied by two oil companies" know
ing full well that Tuskegee is clever
trade center and county town, and
that the Standards monopoly rule is
applied to big towns as we'll as little

Fiizhuqh Lee.

The death of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, after
an illness of only few hours, comes
as terrible shock to the entire coun-
try. The gallant Confederate war
riors of high rank have been fast
passing away, and Fitzhugh Lee was
one of only three or four survivors.
Fitzhugh Lee was honored and loved
throughout the land. He was plucky
big-hearted and sunny tempered, and
his personality was singularly engag
| ing. He came from line of states
men-soldiers, and was a favorite of
his illustrious uncle, Robert e. Lee.
Born in Fairfax county, Virginia, in
1885, he entered the military academy
at West Point in 1850 and was grad
uated in 1856. He served as lieu
! tenant in the regular army until the
| beginning of the war between the
north and the south. Resigning his
commission in the United States army
in 1861, he accepted lieutenant
colonelcy in the Confederate army and
came out of the conflict a major gen
eral. He was a dashing figure in the
battles of northern Virginia, and was
severely wounded at Winchester.
From 1886 to 1890 General Lee was
governor of Virginia, and in 1896
President Cleveland appointed him
consul-general to Cuba. He was at
the head of affairs in the island dur
ing the period Immediately preceding
hostilities between Spain and the
United States.
President Mckinley appointed Lee
a major general of volunteers, and in
1891 he was commissioned brigadier
general of the United States army and
retired
For two years General Lee had been
president of the jamestown Exposition
company and had been highly sue
cessful in securing government and
state aid for the exposition which is
to be held in 1907.
The whole nation will lament his
taking off, and here in the south,
where he was endeared to every Con-
! federate veteran, his memory will
| long be fondly cherished. The feel
ing is strong that no llnightlier repre-
sentative of the Lost Cause lived
| than Fitzhugh Lee.
