After the war he engaged in business in Union Springs and was most suc- cessful. He was one of the originators of the Bullock County Bank and of the State Bank of Montgomery. which he conducted successfully, afterwards sell ing his stock to look after his large planting and real estate interests. He was the pioneer in the introduction of the best breeds of cattle such as the short heavy Hereford and Aber- den-Augus Into the State. demons trating that 1t is best and profitable to grow fine breeds. He was the chief originator of the present Com mercial and Industrial Association, was its first President for several years and by his efforts gave to the city much of its present growth and put it on the high road to progress President of the Montgomery Board of Revenue. where he is doing splendid service for the county. He is close student of public events and takes much interest In politics while never having sought public office himself. he has had some experience as a political manager, always being very success full He is one of the most popular and leading public men of this city and county.

One of the pioneer business men and farmers of Alabama Is Mr. w. w. wadsworth of Autauga County. He IS a native of that county and has spent his whole useful and successful life Tn its borders, always being foremost In every movement to promote the best interests of It's people and for the good of the country. Although having broken and disfigured arms, from an accident while a boy In falling from a building, and being rejected when or fering for enlistment in the Confeder- ate Army in 1861. his love of country and patriotism was such and love or his people so strong that he persisted and was finally taken and remained to the end, doing valiant and notable ser vice, being wounded a number Of times; just before the close of the war he received what was thought at the time to have been a mortal wound, but the strong and robust constitution inner ited from his parents and added to by his open air work on the farm stood him in good stead and he recovered and is today in the enjoyment of good health. Returning from the war he showed that indomitable spirit in en- tering the battle of life that he exhib- tied in getting in the army and went to work as the manager of plantation near Prattville; in the summer of 1865 he entered the lumber business and has been actively engaged in its manufac- ture and sale ever since. He began with the old .up-an- down saw, the old fashioned tool used in those days and gone on from time to time improving his plant until now he has the most modern, up-to-date machinery and his business has long since grown beyond the point where one man can manage 1t and he has quite a number of men employed in the conduct of that branch of his business. MT. Wadsworth Is one of the oldest men in years and con- tinued service in all the State. having shipped his first car load of lumber to market in 1869, over the S. and N.
 Railroad. and has been continuous shipper ever since, and the promise is that he will continue to be in the bus iness for some time yet, as his health is the best and he feels good for many years of service yet. He was raised on the farm and got then love for 1t that has stuck to him through life. He is an intense believer in the system of living at home and endeavors to make everything that Is used for home con- sumption and at Wadsworth in Autauga County he has one of the best equipped

and most valuable farms In the State, made so by his own attention and fn- domitable industry and grit. He runs forty blows and has never had to buy any corn to feed the stock that work in making his crops. He makes the supplies needed first and the cotton crop Is the surplus. He makes pota- toes. both Irish and sweet, in very large quantities, and his sugar cane and homemade syrup Is famous all over this part of Alabama; he says he makes his own jugs now and supplies the best article of homemade syrup for the market. the demand for which is linn ited only by the supply. He has on his place most valuable and fnexhaustible supply of the raw material for making pottery and is going to make 1t one of the leading business in that line in this section in the very near future. He is believer in the education of the children and as school trustee has not missed meeting for over thirty years. He is an ardent advocate of good roads and as an overseer has the best road fin Autauga County and is proud of that record. He is liberal contributor to schools and churches and in the lead in every public enterprise and laudable undertaking for the public good. While never having been politician In the sense of an office seeker, he has been always interested in good government and in the dark days of reconstruction stood by his people, and this section with that dogged determination and bravery which made him such good soldier and did much to keep the heel of the. oppressor from of our necks; he served often on the county, district and State committees. was e. delegate to all the conventions of the party in times past and his wise counsels and level head often saved the party from the breakers that bid fair to upset it and carried the party ship safely through all the storms and troubles that beset and promised to wreck the organiza- tion. No man in Alabama is more high ly respected or more universally loved by his people, and they all trust that he may be spared for many years of usefulness in the time when experience and sound judgment are so much need ed I add his name to my list of public men in Alabama, feeling that there is none more worthy of place in 1t, and none with a more enviable record or one more worthy of emulation by our young men now coming into the man agement of our public and private af- fairs.

to regulate freight rates in Alabama. As early as 1891, he went up against the railroad proposition and found how utterly impossible 1t was for an Ala bamian to compete in the markets with any farm produce, other than cot ton"
 Speaking of this subject he says:
 We ask nothing that Is unfair or unjust to the railroads; we ask no favors, only fair and equitable treat ment. The citizens and taxpayers or Alabama ought to at least have the same rights in the Alabama markets as citizens of other States have in said markets. shipping over the same rails. It is not right for the Louisville and Nashville to haul fertilizers distance of 300 miles to an Alabama market at $165 per ton and charge an Alabamian $1.S5 for going seventy-five miles of that distance, or to charge a Tennessee farmer II cents per 100 pounds from Chattanooga to Talladega and Mar shall county farmer 22 cents per 100 pounds for hauling his stuff seventy five miles of that distance.
 We have been classed by railroad officials as 'sore-h heads 'officee seek CTS and fanatics Whether this be true or false, 1t does not alter the facts in the case. I know of no reason why railroad official should be exempt from telling the truth I believe it pos sible for even railroad attorney to tell the truth, but we are disposed to take any statement made by them cum grano sails
 "A prominent railroad attorney says the present laws of Alabama give the commission in Alabama power enough to bankrupt every railroad in the State, but at the same time the rail- road for which the above mentioned gentleman Is attorney Is ignoring the laws of the State of Alabama and every principle of right and justice"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-12-17

Hon. c. T. McElderry of Talledega is one of the originators of the pres ent movement in this State for a re- vision and fair and just freight rates
 He is one of MT Corners right hand men and has done as much in that direction as has Mir. Conner himself. He has been foremost in the fight from It's very inception and has raised ms voice and pen on every occasion in behalf of what he deems but just and right to the farmers and ship pers of Alabama. He thinks that the one thing above all others which has so much retarded the ad- vancement of the agricultural interest of Alabama is the excessive and dis criminative freight rates extorted from the farmers of the State by the rall- roads of the State. contrary to the laws of the tSate." MT. McElderry has had some personal experience with railroad rates and that experience has made him determined to get justice if he can by his honest and well di- rected efforts, that is secure for Ala bama the same or similar rates under same conditions as exist in those States where the rates are regulated by law; he Is not disposed to be rad ical or unjust. but fairness and equity to, all is what he asks. He is can didate for Associate Railroad Commis- sioner on that platform and upon 1t he is yelling to stand or fall. He has called attention to the difficulties of diversification of the crops in Ala bama. The matter of first considera- tion is a market for the farmers produce from actual test that the freight rates fin Alabama were pro- hibitory. He was made chairman of a committee to bring the matter to the attention of the Railroad Commission A frh ha Aid in 1Q0g The committee then joined in with the Business Mems Organization formed at Birmingham. and he canvassed the northern part of the state in the in terest of an elective commission with 6 law giving said commission power
