CLAIMS HONOR FOR
 CALHOUN COUNTY
WRITER SAYS MOORE & GOODE IRON WORKS AT POLkVlLlE WERE MAKING IRON AS EARLY AS 1886.
O the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 I was much interested in reading in today's AgeHerald regarding Niniop Tsnnehil of Tuscaloosa. being Alabama's first iron undertaking 1s4s. I think, however, tbat this honor can be claimed by Calhoun county.
 have in my possession now the old books of Moore & Goode Iron works To- cated on Cane Creek, Polkville postoffice, showing the daily output of iron in 1si3 to 1s45-and other items and prices quite interesting relating 10 those early days. This furnace was operated in 1886, and was destroyed by General Rousseau about 1863.
 Judge George B. Randolph of Annlston tells me that at President Folks election a cannon was cast at this furnace to celebrate his victory. The cannon burst. and a part of 1t stood for years at the Isbell corner in Talladega. The postof- flee was named for President Polk.
 This property Is the famous ChalyDedte mountain, and the mines are now operat- ed by the Morris Mining company.

Superlntcnd- cnt Gentry states that the whole new system will be in complete working order by the first of September. The corps of workmen just arrived are under the d. rection of J. O. Reilly of Atlanta.
 It is interesting to Tuscalosa people and university alumni to note that the new song book, Songs of all the Colleges, published by Hinds & Noble, contains the University of Alabama song Crimson and White" This book, in addition .c containing all of the songs that are sen orally sung at colleges and by College Giee clubs includes the distinctive songs of the leading colleges, such as "FdiI Harvard" the Yale Boola Song etc. and 1t is a compliment to the university that one of it's distinctive songs gets space in the book. The words to Crimson anl White were written by Vincent H. Bel of the class of '05. and the music com posed by Prof. J. P. Ludebuhl. direeto of music at the A. C. F. college at thi place. Those hearing the Alabama Gle club sing will perhaps recall the song q 1t was one of the most popular number on the clubs programme last year.

SoLDlERS' PENSIONS.
Auditor Brandon Explains the New
 Quarterly Payments.

Montgomery July 23.-tSpeciaD- There seems to be some misunder- standing among the old soldiers with reference to their pension money" said Auditor Brandon today. Some of them seem to think that they will receive less this year than heretofore, and cannot understand why they will not receive as fourth class pensioners $50 on the first day of October Had the old law remained in force they would have re- ceived s30 on the first of October which would have been the entire payment of their pension for the year begin ming October 1, 1907, and ending Sep tember 30, 1908.
 "The legislature, however, changed the amount from $50 per annum to $50 per annum, and makes 1t payable quarterly. beginning October 1. 1907, so that each pensioner will receive on the first day of the month of each by the first of July, 1908 they will have received $30 as paid last year, $50 as appropriated by the present legisla- ture.
 Tt is provided In the bill that if one mill tax and the $350,O00 appro- priated amounts to more than $50 per capita, that the last quarters warrant shall be proportionately more accord ing to the amount paid in, and If more than SIP 50 per capita is in the treasury at the time of the fourth quarter pay ment, such amount will be included in the last quarters payment, and the reverse is true, that should the amount be less than was consumed by payments of previous quarter, that it shall be deducted from last quarters payment, and paid proportionate1y.
 However, it is quite clear to my mind that if the tax rate remains the same and property is valued as at present, that these will not only be ample funds to meet this approp.ia- tion, but that the last quarters pay ment will probably be in excess of the SIP. 30 provided there are not much more pensioners I desire to make it clear to all the old soldiers that the fiscal year for the payment of the pen soins begins on October 1. and when they received their pension warrants last year from October 1, 1906, to Sep tember 30, 1907, and the legislature changed the mode of payment from an nually to quarterly, but appropriated more money, and more will be paid the old soldiers this year than hereto fore.
 This interview is given for the pur- pose of correcting the impression among the old soldiers that they will receive less for the year beginning October 1 than for the past years. Their appropriation, and the amount paid them is almost double the former amounts received by them."

"CUTICURA REMEDIES
 ARE UNEXCELLED"

"About a year ago was sufferer from skin, scalp, and blood humors. For four months I used various reme- dies prescribed to me for their treat ment, but they gave only temporary relief and then the distressing blood humors were back as usual. 1 finally lost all hopes of getting cured of this ailment. But friend induced me to give the Cuticura Remedies fair trial. He had been troubled with the same disease and said he had been perma- nently cured by Cuticura. So l got the whole treatment, consisting of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent, and after 1 began the treat ment 1 could see and feel that it was a success. The Cuticura Resolvent ls certainly of great value as it clean-es the system of all humor germs and makes digestion easy. I used two complete sets of the CuticlTa Remedies and 1 can say this much, that l was perma- nently cured by them. I want to say further, that these Remedies are un- excelled in curing the worst forms of skin and scalp humors. $. D. Phillips, Ordinance Corps, U. s. A., Rock Is.

Trouble In Persia.

1t wss announced in dispatch from
Teheran yesterday afternoon that anti
government bands had seized the am
munition stores at Tabriz and that faction
fighting was proceeding in the streets.
The Shah LAST night sent 8 message to
Parliament granting all the popular de-
mands, including formal recognition that
the country is under constitutional gov
ernment. This message WAS telegrsphed
to Tatriz, where the people had seized
the arsenal and closed the government
Offices.
A dispatch received at St. Petersburg
from Teheran says that the revolutionary
movement is spreading at Teheran, Ia
briz, ShirSz and Resht, where local
leagues, known as Medjem, have been
formed. The leagues do not acknowl-
edge the authority of Parliament or the
Shah. At TeheTsn the governor is said
to be powerless, while Governor Marsn-
di, of Tabriz, has been arrested and bas-
tinsdoed by order of the Medjem, which
is supported by armed bands that have
been crossing the frontie: from the Cau'
casns.
Counter leagues, called Fedsn, are be-
ing organized TO defend Parliament,
which, though not in sympathy with the
revolutionary movement, is clsssed as
lacking 10 backbone. 1t is stated that
the pressure OF the street croeds which
f;l the Parliament building at Teberan
Interrupt The sessions, and that they have
assaulted the unpopular KSdjur princes,
particularly Prince Nsib Es Sultaneb,
The war minister and father-in-law OF
the sultan.
The only minister exempt from attack
ia Sadrszan, whose Two sons are radical
leaders. Macy meetings are being held
in the mosques, fiery speeches are being
delivered and proclamstions are being is
sued denouncing the ministers. 1t is ss-
serted that the weakness of Parliament
is driving many prominent persons into
the ranks Of the conservatives.

THE GoRDONsvILLE ASSAULT
CASES

From the state of tense and almost
uncomfortable excitement Brought about
By the atrocities alleged to have been
committed on the nigh of January 30,
when several homes 10 GOrdonsville were
entered and four young women we're
said to have been chloroiormed snd two
outraged, The town has not altogether
recovered.
A counter current of popular feeling
is beginning to set 10, however, and is
being manifested in a singular manner.
MANY hold to the belief that while an
attempt was made to rob the home OF
Rev. f. A. Meade, no assault was at
tempted upon the TWO young ladies who
slept there, this view being in dedsuce
of the public avowal made by the father
of the young women, the Misses Bowers,
of Orange, who claims that his daughters
were assaulted by unknown parties while
asleep. Among these are many repre-
sentative ciuzsns. They explsin the
rumor a. the ru.ult of the natural grief
and horror of the father at the mere
suspicion Of the possibility Of the out
rage.
There are, however, many who are
staunch in their belief that Mr.. BJwers
fears are we'll grounded. Il wever hi
NAV be. he is said TO have been iran ic
with rage and TO have made 10 attempt
to conceal Whist he believed 20 have been
the facts.
r. G. Watkins, town sergeant, Is
strongly of the opinion that no assault
was made upon either Of the young
women. Sergeant Watkins says that on
the following morning Thursday upon
being notified he at once went to the
rectory. Upon entering the apartment
occupied BY the young ladies he found
no indications whatever Of such violence
as it had been claimed took place
That tie houseihad been entered w2s
evident. Entrance was effected over q
low beck porch, on which face three
doors and two windows. One of these
doors and one window of those at the ex-
treme rear end of the building open in
to the kitchen. Through this kitchen
window the intruders forced their en-
trance. Whether they ever got farther
Sergeant Watkins doubts, and there are
others here who share his opinion.
A strong argument with thoss who
think differently is their belief that the
young women themselves ought to
know. Others set forth doctrines OF
hysteria aud suspect that the two sisters,
upon learning of the wholesale house
breaking that night in Gordousville, aud
npon fading their kitchen window up
aud realizing their thoroughly unpro-
tected situation, were victimized by
their own iervent imagiuations and be-
came convince d of more serious calam.
lty. No physician was called IN to
verify the alsrmii G reports, and as both
of the sisters have returned to their
home, near OrsDgeville, no further solu'
tion seems probable.
