"RUFUs SANDERS" DEAD.
G. $. Morrison, who Was the FrieH
 nf nnrAnnr IInrh

G. z. Morrison, who Was the Friend
 of BnrtOw Lloyd.
 MT G. S. Morrison died last Saturday at his home near Sellers station In ontgomery County, and while he was 75 years old his death came with awful suddenness. He was up and about as usual Friday and seemed unusually well that night. He was stricken early Saturday morning and died in a few minutes.
 He was buried at II o'clock Sunday morning in Mt. Carmel Cemetery, Rev. w. J. Elliott of this city officiating.
 Mrs Morrison died several years ago, but the couple left a number of chil- dren and grandchildren.
 To the day Of his death Mir Morri- son was an earnest. devout Christian, and for many, many years was deacon in the Hickory Grove Baptist Church
 The kindly features of Mir Morrison are known 10 thousands of people in Alabama. Texas and other States, although they may never have seen him. When the late Barlow Lloyd was writing for The Advertiser his famous Rufus Sanders" articles he selected the face of Mir. Morrison as that of a straightforward. manly man and typically successful farmer The letters of MT Lloyd became so popular that a number of newspapers syndi- cated them, notably among them being The Galveston News, Mir. Morrison's clearcut, clean-shaven face always adorning them.
 This is the first public notice that the picture that always stood at the head of the Rufus Sanders" articles was that of this modest Montgomery County farmer
 Probably if the world had been threshed over no better selection could have been made as far as an exempli- fication of a bighearted whole-souled Southern planter of the olden days. He was adored by those fortunate enough to know him. while to those not having that pleasure his pictured face was like a benediction. One felt on looking at those sunny features like breathing the aromatic fragrance and purity of newmown hay.
 Tn the land that he loved, among the friends of a long. useful and we'll spent life and in the heart of that nature that was no purer than his, he died.
 And the pity of 1t is there are so few George S. Morrisons.

DON'T WANT THE
DAMS REMOVED
AITKIN PEOPLE NOT AGAINST
RESERVOIR SYSTEM.
Say Opposition Comes from Private In
terests, While People Along the
River Appreciate the Value of the
Reservoirs-Want Another Dam and
Cutoff Canal to Shorten Channel.

AS sentiment on the upper Missis-
sippi is heard from, it becomes evident
that the opposition to the government
reservoir system is confined to certain
private interests. The Aitkin Age, in
an editorial this week, declares that
the people of Aitkin county do not
want the dams taken out, but that
they want more dams, and cutoff
canal to iberate the surplus water OF
the upper river more quickly. The Ait
kin paper says:
Newspaper articles from Washington
and the twin cities indicate that the war
department and the navigation, logging
and water power interests are expecting
and preparing to resist an attack upon
the reservoir system from a united peo-
pie of the upper river.
They expect a demand will be made to
have the system abandoned and much
Of the valuable work destroyed outright,
including the Brainerd dam.
AS far as the people of Aitkin county
are concerned, no such demands will be
made.
Certain newspapers of the state are adj
vocating these things for the benefit OF
private, interests, from ignorance of the
real facts, ans from jumping at conclu-
sions from wild talk of windy individuals
who like to be interviewed and quoted by
the press.

TWO GET BACK PENSIONS
MINNEsoTANS ALLOWED CLAIMS
THAT HAVE BEEN PRESSED BY
ADJUTANT GENERAL.

Two important pension claims have
been allowed Minnesotans, and notice
has been accordingly received by Adju-
tant General Wood, thru whose depart
ment the cases were handled. In one
case the applicant gets $1,100 back
pension. In the other, the parties re-
ceive 1870 cash.
During 1894 Oliver H. Kinyon of
Withrow, Mimi, civil-war veteran,
made application for pension. His
application showed the man in such a
wrecked PHYSICAL condition as to be
unable to do any work. Two ribs were
broken and pressing on his left lung.
His case was not pressed, but two years
later, 1896, his application was re-
newed The pension department at
Washington has at last awakened to
disposition Of the matter, and today
notified Adjutant General Wood that
Withrow is allowed pension Of So
month from 1894 and $l2 month
beginning June 7, 1905, thus giving
him about 81, 100 in cash now available.
The second case is that Of Margaret
Meaney of Austin, widow of Thomas
Meaney, a civil-War veteran. She filed
application for a pension Dec. IL, 1904
Today General Wood received wore
that she is allowed $12 month from
May, 1905, and So month for each
Of seven minor children. She also gets
1910 back-pay allowance. Mrs. Mea
ney is in reduced circumstances and
the news of the pension allowance will
doubtless be joyfully received.

was when he claimed some time ago,
