CAR FULL IF FISH WAS IN BIRMINGHAM Carries 30,OOO YearIings-Are
 Pretty Large HOW THE GAR IS ARRANGED Has Been Distributing Fish In the Streams and Lakes of Alabama.
 Car Is Very Neat and No
 odor to Be Detected.
HOW THE GAR IS ARRAN GEO

One of the fish cars of the commerce and labor department of the government, connected with the fishery at Warm Springs Ga. has been in Birmingham for the past day or two distributing thous- ands of yearlings to surrounding waters.
 The car returned to Warm Springs yes- over the Central of Georgia. Capt. T. c. Pearce Is In charge of the car, which has been distributing fish in various sec- tions of the state. It went from Column b,s. Ga.. to Montgomery and came to Birmingham from Montgomery.
 The car carried about 25,ooo or so,ooo yearlings, or fish about one year old. Various ponds, lakes and rivers of the state were given large supplies of the fish. and in year or so they will be excellent size. The fish in the car were of several varieties.
 The fish are carried in ten gallon cans, which are arranged In rows along either side of the aisle Each day the water in the cans is replenish, and oxygen is fur nished the fish constantly by a pure air plant which Is carried In the car. The oxygen runs through a pipe extending the entire length of the car and to which are attached branch lines which run to the bottom of each of the ten gallon cans The pure air bubbles up through the water, supplying the fish with all that they need
 About twice a year this car reaches Birmingham, and fish arg distributed from this point, which is one of the main distribution centers of the territory covered by the Warm Springs fishery. On the way from Birmingham fish were supplied to the streams surrounding the Soldiers home at Mountain Creek. and within the next few years the old con- federate soldiers there will have some good fishing. This was done at the request of Captain Talkner of the Louis- vile and Nashville railroad.
 The car used is very conveniently ar ranged. Captain Pearce has an office and stateroom at one end of the car. which is supplied with all the necessities and many of the comforts of life. At the other end Is the Kitchen and the car is sc arranged that table can be spread seating about a dozen people.
 Along the side of the car and above the tanks which mold the fish are the berths of the other men employed about the car. of wich there are half dozen. The berth are arranged like those of a Pullman sleeper.
 The ten gallon cans fit into the long case which runs the length of the car on either side of the aisle, and on top of this case are arranged movable chairs which are used by the employees during the day. They are very comfortable.
 The car is wonderfully neat and clean. contrary to what many people might think when 1t Is remembered the large quantity of water and fish that are hand led. Everything about the car was neat and showed no signs of tho fish business. There was no odor whatever

BOTH WERE GOVERNORS
 OF SOUTH CAROLINA
T. c. Thompson's Visit to Birmingham Revives Interesting Story of Ills
 Distinguished Father.

Mr. and Mrs. T C. Thompson of Chat tanooga, accompanied by their little son. arrived in Birmingham yesterday morn ing. They are at the I1illman, where Soon after their arrival they were joined at the hotel by their aunt, Mrs, Ellen Peter Bryce of Tuscaloosa, one of the truly notable women of Alabama.
 Mir Thompson is the Tennessee state representative of the National Life In- surance company of Vermont. He is in Birmingham on business and will be re- membered by many persons here as the eldest son of the late Governor Hugh Thompson of South Carolina-a gentle man who, throughout long and eventful life, represented all that was highest and best in southern character under the old regime.
 In taste, temperament and manner the son Is not unlike his distinguished father, and in his especial field Is winning success as great as was that won by Governor Thompson in politics and statecraft.
 In chatting with his friends at the Hillman yesterday MT. Thompson com mented on the rapid progress made by Birmingham. Though 1t is only nine months since he was here, he said one could not walk about the city without observing improved conditions every where
 T never see young Thompson" said at the Hillman, "that l do not think of little incident that happened twenty years ago in Washington at one of the Gridiron clubs dinners. On the night in question Chamberlan's was crowded with a dis tinguished company, and Governor Hugh Thompson was the principal speaker of the evening. Inasmuch as he was to make an important address, he abstained, as was the custom, from taking a hearty meal.
 "It was noticed, however, that one of the walters was most assidious in his attentions to South Carolina's governor. When the coffee and cigars came on this negro waiter opened a box of fife Ha- vanas and offered them to the guest of honor.
 Governor Thompson thanked the waiter, took cigar, lighted it, and pushed back his chair. As he did so the negro waiter leaned over and asked in whisper:
 Weren't you at one time governor of South Carolina?'
 "T was, said Governor Thompson, quietly.
 So was l. said the negro waiter
 And so he was," the former South Carolnian explained "The negro waiter was Richard l.. Gleaves, at one time lieutenant governor of South Carolina. and in the absence of the governor the acting governor of the state. I suppose 1t is the only case in our history where a governor of a state has been served at table by one of his predecessors in the gubernatorial office"
