ABOUT THE EXPOSITION
Maj. Dockery Tells of Experiences and
Impressions of Jamestown.

Love, Miss, Sept. Is, 1907.
Editor es-Promoter:
| believe l said in my last letter
that | would write next from James
town, but Isaw SO much to attract
and divert my attention, just could
not write line, and now | hesitate
to give an opinion as to the exposi-
ton. Compared to the ST. Louis and
Chicago Expositions, showing the
progress of industrial arts and sciences
[ don't think it by any means equal
to them. But yet it is a great show
beautiful to the eye, instructive Of
our country's history. The first per-
manent colony of about one hundred
Englishmen, sailing in three little
boats commanded by Capt, Newport
land John Smith seems to have been
the leader) landed here and gave it
the name Jamestown for their King.
They also named the nearby capes
Charles and Henry for the Kings
sons, and the neck of land where they
were sheltered and felt safe with
their boats, they named Point Com
fort. This was in 1607-three hun
dred years ago. What revolutions
and changes have been since then.
Newport and Smith were seven weeks
making the trip. Now our great
steamships make the trip in less than
six days. Then Powhatan, the great
Indian king, owned the greater part
of Virginia, as it now is, and con-
trolled it with despotic power. Now
civilized man owns his houses and his
grave. The tomahawk, the scalping
knife, and the bow arrow, have given
place to rapid firing guns and great
cannon, as emblems of authority and
destruction.
What sentiment cluster around this
spot.ss The first little col ony two years
bofore disappeared while their friends
had gone back home for food and
supplies, and no trace of them has
ever been discovered. Near here Po-
cahontas, the favorite child of Pow
hatan-then but twelve years old
saved the life of John Smith, by in
terposing her body between the head
Of Smith and the uplifted clubs Of the
savages.
Here, too, is Hampton Roads,
which has been the battle grotiiiaa Of
great ships, and has been the rem
devious OF great fleets, both friendly
and hostile. Here in, full view of the
hotel where stopped, was fought the
first naval battle between the Con-
federates and the Federals, in which
the prowess of American seamen was
shown.
In sight OF the exposition is the old
jamestown church, or what is left Of

house built for the governor is seen,

ARMOUR IS GHOST
 OF FORMER SELF
MAN WHO TERRoRlZED MORRIS AND HAD EVENTFUL CAREER IN CRIME CAUGHT WALKING ALONG HIGHWAY.

Harrison Armour who is alleged to nave been connected with number or serious crimes. principally with the shooting or Reuben Little at Morris some time ago, was arrested early yesterday morning by Deputy Sheriff c. T. Hilton, while on ais way from Pinson to Birmingham. Armour was walking on crutches down the Pin son road when apprehended by the dep- uty.
 The arrest of Armour brings to mind one of the most sensational shootlhSs which eyer took place in the northern part of Alabama. It seems that much feeling had existed between the Littles and Ar mours for some time prior to the shooting kof Reuben Little, who was brought to bay between two brick buildings at Morris and then shot to death with guns in the hands of Tom and Harrison Armour
 The two Armour boys escaped after the shooting but were afterward located In Boaz. and there they barrlcaded them- selves in an old house. Tom Armour was killed in the fight with the deputies, but Harrison made his escape.
 It is understood tLat the deputy who made the arrest was informed of Ar mour's whereabouts by an anonymous let ter. He is by no means the same young desperado he was at the time of Little's death. but is much broken in health and crippled.
 Armour was brought to Birmingham yesterday and locked up in the county jail. He made no resistance when the officer arrested him, and when searched all that was found on his person was knife and a few cartridges. He admitted that he started to Birmingham with the intention of leaving this papt of the eoun- try to avoid arrest. The charge docketed against him was murder, and he is refused bond at any amount.

 W. D. Nesbitt, who Is interested. said last night, that the object was that Bir- mlngham should help the cotton associa- ton and the farmers union to build the structure. He said that he is not a pro- mooter of the scheme. but it meets with his favor.
 MT. Nesbitt wrote only a few days ago to MT. Jordan relative to his plans, and Is awaiting an answer. It is known that the president of the association is>a great admirer of Birmingham.

IMPERIAL JEFFERSON UNABLE

Inspector DepOrabe County That Will One Hundred Either 10 Mobile Montgomery 0nce-BraggAse
 Says Brmnghams City Jail Gould Not Be Much Worse

The county jail muddle has been set to boiling, and there is no telling which way it will spill. State Prison Inspector Bragg arrived in the city yesterday morning and started things.
 Dr. Bragg is reported as having said while inspecting the city jail yester- day that in the city jail, the southside jail and the county jail. Birmingham has three places fit only for hogs to livesin.
 He claims to have no jurisdiction over the city iails, but when 1t comes to the county bastile says he, q will remove most of the prisoners from that place right away
 In reply the Board of Revenue says, Our hands are tied by vote of tn e people, and we cannot consider the matter of building a new Jail until two years have expired. So far as the Board of Revenue is concerned, it will not think of constructing a new jail against the direct voice of the voters. Birmingham will not have such a strue- ture until that voice is changed"
 Says Sheriff Higdon, 'I don't believe pr. Bragg has the right to remove the prisoners from the jail. By law will

PUT ON TRIAL FOR SELLING BAD MILK
DOCTORS TESTIFY THAT 24 OUT OF 30 TYPHOID CASES USED MILK FROM THE GLEN IRIS DAIRY.

After two long sessions of technical testimony the trial of N. c. Darby has not yet neared the end, and the forty-seven fever stricken families of Birmingham are still waiting to hear whether they were given typhoid fever by the milk of the Glen Iris dairy depot.
 It will be remembered that Mayor Ward ordered the dairy closed and MT. Darby was charged with doing busi- ness detrimental to the public health. The case came up yesterday morning, was continued until the afternoon. and again to 2:3O o'clock today.
 In the afternoon the city introduced a number of witnesses to prove the as- sertion of Dr. Hardness, that twenty four of the total number of typhoid pa tients had been drinking milk from the dairy depot Among them were Messrs. Hale, Sharpe. Normont and Dr. Led better who has a sick child in his own home.
 pr. Parks testified concerning the lia- |, bility of milk's becoming infected, showing that epidemics have been con- clusively traced to origin in milk, all though 1t was hard to isolate the ty- phoid germ from the milk.
 MT. Maxwell, manager of Burson's dairy, testified that he had furnished Darby with milk, and the cans sent for the milk had been uffclean.
 Yesterday morning. pr. Hardness was the first on the stand, he testlfying that until noon Saturday there were forty seven cases of typhoid fever in the city, thirty of them in the infected district, and that twenty -four of these thirty had used Glen Iris milk.
 The city will today introduce E. M. Duncan, city bacteriologist, as wit ness, who will swear to the number of bacteria that he has found in the milk. MT. Duncan would say nothing about the matter, claiming 1t Is entirely a part of the sanitary departments work.

WANTED TO SEE
 ENGINES COME
SOME ONE AWokE IA FlREMEN LAST NIGHT BECAUSE A LITTLE BONFIRE WAS BURNING IN THE STREET.

Because few chips. as it were, caught on fire in the street on Second avenue last night at 11:3O o'clock, some irresponsible fellow woke up IA firemen and called to the scene four fire equipments, including two engines, two trucks and four hose wagons.
 It required only few buckets of water to put out the whole fire, and 1t was be- yond the sidewalk, with no danger Of catching the adjoining buildings How ever this individual wanted to see a big fire engine run to the center of the city and punched box 132.
 A sensible person would have gone to telephone and informed the fire depart ment what the circumstances were and nothing but one hose wagon would have responded. It is quite an expense to the city to make these long runs, and besides it leaves the residence section unprotected when the wagons are all in the business district.

In ...e afternoon he was shown through the city jail by Dr. Hayes. city physician, and when he came out, told the warden that he was sorry he could not compliment him on his jail. Tt could not be in much worse shape" said he, 'and the city ought to take immediate steps to remedy matters, but I have no jurisdiction"
 The inspector will not state when he will carry out his plans, but it is un- derstood that the Montgomery and Mo- bile jails will receive the prisoners. By the statute which was seen in Judge Greene's office yesterday afternoon, he has perfect right according to the law passed by this present legislature, to do as he proposes, after notifying the Board of Revenue. and the county will have to bear all expenses.
 Job Going said last night that he believed the law to be unjust and hopes 1t will not be enforced He said tn 0 county cannot rebuild in two years. but will immediately take steps to remedy faults which Bragg pointed out in the present structure. We are will ing to better the ventilation, and do anything possible with the present structure" pr. Bragg left on the afternoon train.

be held responsible for the prisoners while en route to and from Montgomery or Mobile and while there. which re- sponsibility I do not wish to shoulder"
 The question is, what will be gained by the removal of the prisoners? If the county will not build a jail 1t will only cause confusion and trouble. and as a member of the Board of Revenue said yesterday. "If Bragg takes out 100 men, Sheriff Higdon will soon put In 100 more."
 Yes" said pr. Bragg, "and I will take them out again."
 It seems that the trouble has but just begun, and that the development of the next month will open some ones eyes. With Bragg pulling one way, .Higdon pulling the other, and the Board of Revenue pulling still another, something will have to break.
 The developments yesterday were no more than had been expected pr. Bragg arrvd on the early train, went over the jail building again, pro- nounced it in as good condition as pos sible under the circumstances, had "confab" with the Board of Revenue and again gave them to understand that the jail must be built.

LAWYER JOHNSON
 MISSES HIS LETTER
coLORED BROTHER THOUGHT THAT ADDRESS WAS SUFFl- GENT AND DEPUTY U. S. CLERK NOW HAS ANOTHER TITLE.

Deputy United States Clerk c. R. John son has had another word added to his all ready lengthy title, this additional word being no other than the euphonious word of Lawyer" While 1t has not been of ficially announced. his friends think 1t suits him, and it will doubtless follow him to the grave. It was bestowed upon him by a gentlemen who bears his surname. bnt who is in no wise related to him, be- ing man of color, one Arthur Johnson, who resides In the Birmingham district, Mary Lee being his chief abode.
 The two Johnsons had engaged in a financial deal, which resulted in the col ored brother being in debt to MT. Johnson to the amount of BIO. On June 19 he de- veloped desire to pay this amount. and taking a BIO bill out of hIs hard-earned savings, he enclosed 1t in an envelope and addressed 1t to Lawyer Johnson, Bir- mingham, Ala" In his opinion the word lawyer was the highest mark of distlnc- ton that could be placed upon person, and he was very much of the opinion that MT. Johnson was the most distinguished person in Birmingham, which, of course. is true.
 He hadsnever received an acknowledge ment of the money, and went around to the Birmingham postoffiee yesterday morning to find out about 1t. He found that MT. Johnson had never received the letter and expressed extreme disgust that the postoffice authorities had failed to de- liver the letter properly. He says that he mailed the letter on June 13, and he can't understand why the letter was not delivered properly as the address of Lawyer Johnson" was amply sufficient.

"CURLY" GOES OUT
 ON TOUR OF TERROR
HE CUTS ONE FELLOWS SKULL OPEN WITH A BROAD AXE AND EATERS UP A WOMAN FRIEND WITH A PISTOL.

A new and yet old problem presents it. self Can Birmingham negro be struck on the head with an instrument of any description with sufficient force to send him into the great bye and bye? It ap- pears that the case is not so, for repeat edly reports have come to police head quarters that negroes have been Handed on" with various and sundry kinds of weapons, and pieces of their skulls chipped out, and yet they soon go off on their way rejoicing.
 The climax was reached last night, however, when report came that one 'Curly" a giant O. negro. had taken a broad ax and, with one long swing, made clean cut down the middle of an- other negros ''sky piece," and he Is still living with the chances for recovery in his favor. What brought about the diff fculty is not known, but 1t did occur at IIilrs camp, on Twenty street and Tenth avenue, and the assailant made his escape and no more was seen of him for nDout an hour.
 Late last night, however Curly" had some trouble with negro woman, and she threatened to turn him over to the offices of the. law. Result: He made a swing at her, with the butt end of a large pistol this time, and many stars of ruby hue were presented to the view O. the smitten individual. Upon rising from the floor she was then confronted b fire from the point of "Curly's" gun, and then the reckless negro fled out Into the darkness.
 Two charges of assault with intent to murder await "Curly" should be appre- hended, and the police are watching viz ilantly for him. The searched for negro is a well known character to the negroes oi the camp, and a complete description was furnished the police.
