Governor JeIks yesterday announceu his belief that in the death of H. B. Lever, of Lowndes County: he nas oe- tected the first ir.tance of escheat In the annals of AlahaIpa- . .or a,d aavs without: nt1sstate and without heirs is rare almost beyond creoSnSo yef the Governor is strong or the opinion that such an anomaly eAes .n Lowndes County. He sald yesto"S he came about the clue incidentally.
 Having written Probate Judge J. C. rvood of Lowndes County. on the sub sect the Governor yesterday receiveo a renIy. The letter simply chronicles the death of MT. Lever and the suose- ouent doings about the estate. w.. r. McCaugh is the personal represen.a- tive of Mir. Levers estate. the positlon or administrator. The death occurred over a year ago but only in the Iast few days has the prospects or an es- cheat come to the Governors atten- tion. The escheat not altogether sim liar to the layman. is an instance oI death where the State. in the absence of a win or heirs, becomes the owner of the estate.
 The parting of a man with actual property and no relative. real or pre- 9umutive, to claim 1t and in these dayS Of grasplng commercialism! The ar chives and records do not snow nrccedent in AlaDanna. AL IeasI ho canitaI official or lawyer of Montgom- ery has yet been found who can recall such a legal prodigy as an escheat.
 Perhaps it Is too astounding to DO true. The escheat. if It be promising, has not yet proven Itself. Under the Alabama code the heirs. if they be. are given some two and a half years to present themselves. Still it is a rari- ty of the first magnitude to record a death over a year old which has not yet brought a single heir into the legal ven.
 Just how much property is to es- cheat to the State has not yet been estimated. The estate the Governor has found is encumbrd in part with a mortgage.
 The Governor has written. attorney ". P. McGaugh, of Hayneville, the ad- ninistrator. to ascertain what Is like. ly to be the balance after the lfquida' ton of all claims against the estate.
 The following letter was written yesterday by Governor JeIks:

that of which he writes. The meas ures swell until it reaches the full cresendo of the organ notes-it rises and falls like the waves at sea until they finally gather strength and sweep all before them: or, like the storm in CT until it carries the monarchs of the forest before it. Dr. Dozier has em- baimed in verse the patriotic spirit of the South. and his Galaxy of South ern Heroes will live long after those heroes have mouldered in the dust. He is the warrior poet of the South"
 Mrs. Jenerson Davis, in "a letter speaking of the same, said:

 Gen. Fred s. Ferguson, of the same poem,N writes:
 'Tf you never write another line, the third and fourth stanzas will give you an enviable place. among Ameri- can poets. The beautiful metaphor in the fourth stanza is one of the finest specimens of hyperbole. I have never read, and takes its place alongside. if not in advance of OHara's celebrated lines beginning, "On Fame's Eternal Camping Ground" etc.
 From The Bessemer Weekly,
 Dr. Dozier is writer and a poet that never tires the reader or the public. He uses words. and language to express thoughts, sentiments, ap- peals to the highest patriotism-to the best the human soul can encompass. He Is a deep thinker, widely read. with soul transfused with profoundest love of home and country, and with the highest standard of civir pride and ambition. This little volume personifies him.

The Birn,ingham News says:

The Birmingham News says:
 .The author runs the entire gamut of emotions, from grave to gay, ana from epic to idylic. His genius, ike the trunk of an elephant. which Is so delicate as to pick up pin, or so strong as to crush a rock, treads the primrose path of dalliances in love alt ties and steps in seven-league boots from mountain top to mountain top or epic poetry. His muse as the gushing spring in the mountain flows gently at first, murmuring a roundelay to the songs of the birds. now dashes Into the foaming cateract of poetical pas sion and then broadens into the mighty river of rich sentiments. and sweeping us on to the boundless ocean or thought with an irresistible force.
 This volume. Galaxy of Southern Heroes and Other Poems is the effort of the maturer thought of Its author pr. Orin T. Dozier. and will maintain its place in Southern literature as long as the South holds Its place as the leader in poetic genius. Not only in the South. but in the North. East and West, has Dr. Dozier won his place as one of the literati of our country. The expression of Southern sentiment, as voiced by the author, has been ac- cepted in other sections as indicative of the feeling of our beloved but of- ten maligned Southland"
 The AseHeraid, of the first poem in the work, says:
 "The poem begins on a heroic strain and the author sustains its flight throughout. It is more than heroic it is an epic It assures the position of Dr. Dozier among the immortal poets of the South--the few immortal names that were not born to die.

 Miles standish, the Famous Critic nmd Literary Editor of The New York Jsurnsl-American, in that journal said:
 'Dr. Dozier's Poems are all good Many of them are excellent and few are sublime. The authors humorous sketches are particularly happy. The poems on the follies. foibles and sell fishness of humanity are the polished productions of a ripe. expansive and keen bservation-logically presented. While the poets patriotic vein is deep, sincere and eloquent. yet 1t is only when he pays his glowing tribute to the southern Heroes who supported hero ically the lost cause that he strikes his truest and most sublime note and establishes forever his claim to frn- mortality.
 There Is a distinct individuality about this poets finished stanzas which precludes the possibility of comparison with that of any other living poet. His best work displays the simplicity of true elegance and is undoubtedly the product of an extensive literary cultivation. broad experience and pro- found knowledge. How so successful and busy a physician could find time fo make such valuable addition to the real literature of the day Is a prob lem the solving of which would be of interest to all students of. 'Concentra- ton or Oneness of Aim.

 If we were called upon to name q poet laureate for the South we would siuhesitatingiy confer the honor upon pr. O. T. Dozier, of Birmingham. Ala. He demonstrates that he is master In depicting every phase of human emo ton. He runs the gamut from grave 10 gay. from lively to severe. and with . readiness that has seldom been sur passed. His versatility is one of his chief charms. One moment he Is as sentimental as Laurence Stern and in The next as satirical as Juvenal him. self. At times he Is as pathetic as Poe. but in a moment he becomes as humorous as Frank L. Stanton. That 1e Is q man of stalwart convictions Is N evidence through all his writings.

C. Wood of your County. The letter is in answer to one which I wrote Judge Wood several days ago in which gave him notice that had heard of a death tn Lowndes County of a man who left no will and who had no heirs at law called Judge Woods attention to the fact that under such an alleged state of facts. what was left. after the pay ment of the debts of the estate, and the cost of the administration on the estate, would escheat to the State.
 Judge Wood, in answer to that let ter, wrote me as follows;
 Your favor of the 18th inst. reached me this morning. presume that it must be tohe estate. of H. B. Lever, who died in this County more than a year ago. and whose estate Is being admin istered in this Court by Mir. W. P. Me Gaugh. an attorney ot this place, Hayneville, who is tho administrator of the estate. He can probably inform you as to what amount of the estate will probably remain in his hands when he shall have had a final settle ment.'
 My interest in the case as Governor of Alabama is based on several divis- ions of Chapter A of the Code of Ala bama. Will you then advise me if ho died without a will or heirs at law.
 Please further advise me the VI dt luc liAiS Ol death with the number of acres of land he left and the description by numbers of such land. Also the value of any personal property left by him, and the amount of the mortgage held against him and by whom 1t was held; when the lands were sold and for how much. You might also write me what you think will he tho balance after the liquidation of all claims against tho estate
 All this Is asked on the assumption that MT. Lever died intestate and with out heirs al law.
