Death of Ex-senator Puuh

The death of former United States
Senator James l.. Pugh in his 87th
year, removes one of Alabama's most
distinguished citizens, who by his in
tellectual force, his noble integrity and
his high sense of justice had long re-
f1ected lustre on this state. Although
born in Georgia, he came to live in
Alabama when only four years of age.
He was left an orphan at eleven, and
was then thrown on his own resources;
but he was full of pluck and worked
hard in order to earn money to pay
for his education. He was admitted
to the bar in 1871, when just q years
of age. In 1S4S he was a presidential
elector In behalf of General Taylor,
in 1913 was a Buchanan elector and
in 1876 Tilden elector. He was
elected without opposition to the Uni
ted States House of Representatives.
in 1859, but when the war came on
withdrew from Congress and enlisted
in the First Alabama infantry. He had
been nearly one year in service when
he was elected to the Confederate con-
gress. He was reelected in 1863. At
the close of the war he returned to
his home in Eufaula, where he re-
sumed the practice of law. In 1875 he
was a member of the state constitu-
tional convention He wrote the con-
stitution which was regarded as an
able instrument, and which fulfilled
its purpose admirably until new condi-
tons made a new constitution in order.
In 1880 Mr.. Pugh was elected to the
United States Senate TO fill the unex
pired term of George S. Houston. He
was reelected in 1884 and again in
1890, being succeeded in 1897 by Gen.
e. w. Pettus. Senator Pugh was soon
recognized, like his eminent colleague.
Senator Morgan, as a lawyer states
man of exceptional ability and rose
finally to the conspicuous position of
chairman of the judiciary committee.
He did not deliver many speeches in
the Senate, but when he did address
that body his words rarely failed to
make a profound impression. He had
a large part in defeating the infamous
force bill and his famous defence of
President Cleveland against the de-
mands of the Senate to be allowed to
inspect the Presidents private official
papers, will be readily recalled by
many. That speech was not only not.

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
From the Boston Globe.

From the Boston Globe.
1.-THE detailed description of the
~ automobile d,.. industry rn,,,i in the he
the census bureau, brings to light many
facts of interest to users Of motor cars.
It is remarkable that within five years
from 1900 to 19O5-the value of automo-
biles manufactured in the United States
Increased from very small figures to &c.
1884, and this last amount has been
wollen by the value of the output since.
At the census of 1905 compared with
hat of 1900, the number of manufacturing
Establishments had increased "a; the cap
tai s14,7663 800; the average number of
yage-earners 1898; the cost of materials
9,s5s.S51, and the total value of products
%, s9705s
Automobiles were being manufactured
in lie states in 1906. Michigan held first
rank in capital invested in that year,
the amount being sS,7s5,24o. Connecticut,
with ss,712,922, dropped from first place
in II states in 1905. Michigan held first
increase of SO, 49, 62. more than fifty-fold,
advanced from eighth rank to third; Mas
sachusetts, with an increase of s1,14S,345,
from fifth to fourth; Pennsylvania, with
an increase of 81 155,S63, from sixth to
fifth. Then come Wisconsin, Indiana, I'LL
nois. New Jersey and Maryland.
The number of wage earners increased
from 224l in 1900 to 10, 2s9 in 1905, of whom
only II are women. The largest number
of these workmen are in Ohio, Michigan,
New York, Connecticut Massachusetts,
Indiana, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The classification of the vehicles shows
that 70 ,131 or $50 per cent of the total
number of automobiles manufactured for
the census year were runabouts. OF
these 90.7 per cent were gasoline, 81 per
cent electric, and Sc per cent steam Less
in number, though greater in aggregate
value, were the touring cars, constituting
49, 3 per cent of the total vehicles turned
out. or this class 1913 per cent were pro-
PEELED by gasoline
The prominence which Michigan holds
in this industry is due, in lage measure,
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1907-03-11

| TO the establishments located in Detroit.
The capital invested in that city alone
was l4.5 per cent of the total for the
United States, and the value of products
2o.2 per cent of the total The average
capital invested per establishment In De-
troit was $24s,57e. and the average value
of products s44s,51S, compared with ss7s.-

for establishments located in Cleveland

products. These two cities together were
credited with more than one-thiro the
total value of products for the entire
country
Contrasted with the compaotness of tina
industry shown in the four leading cen.
ters-Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo and Now
York-is its wide dispersion among tina
thirty-four cities included "in all other
cities" These scattered plants were
located in thirteen different states, In tina
list being six plants in six different cfties
of Massachusetts,
There are allied Industries connected
with the manufacture of automobiles that
are not classified, but they give employ
ment to many thousands. For instance,
while some of the larger plants turn out
all the parts of the machine, the smaller
establishments do not, but purchase more
or less material in fully or partially
manufactured form.
An industry which enters largely into
automobile construction is the manufac-
ture of rubber and elastic goods. During
the fve-year period there was an In
crease of $40, 374o79 in the value of pro
ducts in this rubber industry.
The future growth of this industry il
assured. Models and parts are being
standardized, thus rendering 1t possible
to replace broken or worn out parts with
out delay. In this country many express
and transfer companies, department
stores and fire departments have aban-
doned the horse-drawn vehicle for tho
automobile. The cost is gradually becom-
ing less and the automobile itself is al
ready felt as a factor In the movement
for good roads.

HUTTIG LOST BOTH GAMES.
Played Good Ba Il But Could Not Defeat
 the Tenth Man-The Umpire.

On last Friday the Huttig ball team hied themselves to Bastrop where double header with Bastrop was scheduled. They played two very fast games but the umpire was for the opposition and seen that Bastrop was thu winner of both contests. The first game which was 9 to o was fairly won in a way, but the result even in it might have been different if too many balls had not been counted strikes. In the second game how ever the Huttig boys were given no chance to win even the base de- cisions being rank in favor of Bas- trop Out of three double plays made in the two games Huttig made two and the support given the pitchers was good throughout. By looking over the lineup and summary you will see that there was good ball played even if we did not win and the crowd in the grandstand received their moneys worth in the first game.

Wants it Repealed.

Tillman B. Parks, of Lewisville. has announced his intention of en- tering the race for representative from LaFayette county in the next Democratic primaries. He says his platform will be short and to the point. If elected he will at tempt to secure the repeal of the Montgomery bill passed by the last legislature, taking lafayette coun- ty out of Judge Hays circuit and placing it in Judge Carter's. He claims that the author had only one object in getting the measure through the legislature, and that was to defeat him (Parks) for prosecuting attorney. This is the bill that was signed by Acting Gov. Moore and few days later vetoed by Acting Gov. Pindall. which act was declared void by the supreme court recently.-Hope Star.

ROBERT LYDICK DROWNED.
Met Death While Bathing in the Ouachita Ry-
 CT Last Sunday Afternoon.

A number of Huttig people went for days outing across the river last Sunday and after dinner the male members of the party were enjoying bath in the Ouachita when before any of the others realized what was taking place Robert Lydick, who was here from Fl Dorado with L. H. Berry, had taken cramp and drowned before as sistance could reach him. His hat had came off and he was swimming after it when he suddenly turned and started back up the stream, before he had gone far and while nobody was looking he evidently had went under two times for after he hollered he never went down but once never to rise again. Sev- eral members of the party endeav- ored to reach him but could not in time.
 It was fully an hour and half before the body was recovered af- ter the drowning. The remains were brought here and taken to Monroe on motor car that night where they were embalmed and shipped to Champaign, H.. where his parents reside, for burial. A. G. Fish accompanied the remains.
 The deceased was 25 years of age and was employed by the Col lins Bros. Construction Company as time keeper on the construction gang which is building the depots and section houses on the new Rock Island railroad from Little Rock to Fl Dorado.
