Birmingham Age-Herald. @
 H. F. DeI3ardeieben, one of the pio- neers of the Birmingham district, who has been here through days of pros- perity and days of diversity. made the following statement yesterday:
 To the People of Alabama and My Fel-
 low Townsmen Of Birmingham:
 Are you asleep? If so, wake up. There Is danger ahead You seem to think that with the script to be issued in satisfactory condition, but when cotton and lumber reaches the bottom and pig iron takes tumble, It's mighty 1t. Real estate @ is ~ always the uH.f last thing to decline, and when it does pity the man with many deferred payments on his property. hope that no good cit, in wardinR of this great evil. Every one should certainly make an effort to take care of that which Is his. Every man. whether property owner. mer- yitaliy interested in this matter. When laborer can barely live. the merchant money spent by the working man will realize that there is something radi- cally wrong.
 This is not panic caused by a lack 1t has been caused from fear. We all fear that If we invest or loan money that we may never get 1t back When you play legalized take-away game, as is now being attempted in Alabama. it's time to be scared. Those who are causing this scare, for their own sakes, should cease. When business men find that they have made a mis- take. they make haste to correct 1t.
 Some of you have no doubt read what had to say in an article given to the press a few days since on the question of an extra session of the Legislature, and I ask that each and every man who read that article and agrees with me on the views as expressed therein, write me Gas many have already done) and give me their indorsenient. the

 Citizens Presented fo State

"Dr. Guild had served in the Legfs- lature before 1S45, when he was elect ed to the House in the place of the Hon. Lincoln Clark, who had, resigned his seat on being appointed judge of the circuit court. His solid talents and experiences gave him prominent rank among the business members, all though he seldom shared in the dis cussions on the floor, restrained more by the modesty of his character, than any want of speaking capacity"
 with fine qualifications as a physi- elan, Dr. Guild has had a large and successful practice throughout a long professional life. No man is more re- spected for his virtues and honorable character"
 Sketch of pr. Lafayette Guild.
 Dr. Lafayette Guild, son of Dr. James Guild. Sr., was born November 23, 1895, at Tuscaloosa. He received a thorough primary education. and graduated in 1S45 from the University of Alabama with the degree of bachelor of arts After course in reading with his fa- ther, he entered the Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia. where he took his M D. degree in 1s48. Almost iTn- mediately after graduation, or on March 2. 1849. he became an. assistant surgeon in the United States army. On July I, 1861, he left that service, and entered the Confederate army as surgeon; to rank from March l6, 1881. At first he was inspector of hospitals but on June 27, 1862. he was assigned to duty as medical director, and or- dered to report to General Robert E Lee. From this date forward he served as the medical director of the army of Northern Virginia. and he was occupying this responsible post at the date of the surrender of General Lee to General Grant on April g, 1865. pr. Guild was a physician and surgeon Of. rare gifts. He was a frequent contri- butor to the medical periodicals. In his youth he excelled fin athletic sports, and in every department of life he was patriotic and public sPiElted.-A After the close of the war, he located in Mobile, where he served as quarantine physician from 1866 to 1869. Being a sufferer from rheumatism contracted in the Confederate service. in the lat ter year he sought relief by removing to the mild climate of California. Tn, San Francisco he was appointed visit ing surgeon of the city and county hos pitals, which position he occupied until the time of his death, July {, 1870. His wife was Martha Aylette Fitts, the daughter of John Fitts. and a first cousin of Colonel James H. Fitts, of Tuscaloosa. She died few years ago in Tuscaloosa. They had no children.

raised as to the proprietys of granting the use of the rich grazing ground be- hind the odd numbers on the easiest. practically, nominal. terms The noble landlady indeed. without being ap preached on the subject, transmitted through her deputies handsome dona- tion towards the cost of ieveliing the fields from which she was renouncing future profit. ..
 When things seemed to demand dis- cussion--when tenants had a fancy for structural changes or additions,-there would come down. for sauve debate. Mir. Abinger. He was sort of splendid surveyor or steward--not really a gem tleman but just like gentleman known to all tenants as "Mr. Al well comed by all, and entertained hospitaliy by all Indeed. as he drove up in his fly from the station and turned into Hill Rise, one might say there were twenty hot lunches waiting for him.
 Come in. MT Abinger.' the tenants would say. They were all the same in their welcome to Mir. A. Warm tcm- pered Admiral Lardner. naughty Colon- el Beaumont old Mrs. Padfield. who was very difficult lady, Mrs Granville, Mrs. Page. etc, they all made much of Mir A, meeting him in the hall. order- ing the servants to take his overcoat and rug and umbrella. ushering him forthwith to the dining-room.
 'Sft ye down. MT. Abinger. Not a word of business till you've had a snack of lunch, You must be famished after your journey. No hurry about my little affair. I know I am in good hands leave the decision to you ab- solutely. I'll tell you what wish, and I won't press it. But I believe you'll decide that what am asking Is not un- reasonable"
 On several occasions this magnificent steward lunched with Sir John at Hsli House; and twice or thrice even had ths' honor of sitting at meat with Lady Yin cent. Although, of course, Sir John was not tenant. it seemed it tlGt ha should entertain MT. A. He was the owner of the adjoining freehold-the next big landowner (omitting sh. Crown), the man of rank highest and nearest to the exalted rank or. the Countess.

JUDGE THOMAS ALLOWS A
 REDUCTION IN CAFFEY'S BOND

Frank Caffey's bond was yesterday slight tIy reduced by Judge Thomas on application of counsel for the negro physician. The reduction amounts to a decrease Of only $250 in the bond which is now required of Caffey for his liberty.
 Saturdays verdict .acquitting Caffey of murder, left only three cases against the physician, two of criminal malprac- tice and one of receiving tteeiieess -Fnrnp- erty. Previously Judge Thomas had fixed the bail at $500 in each of the malpractice cases and $500 in that of receiving stolen property. Judge Thomas reduced the bond in one of the malpractice cases to $250. For his re- lease Caffey will now have to make only $l.050 bond. The steps of-counsel are taken to indicate that they con- template putting him on the ground |"
 So far as. could be learned no action was taken yesterday by counsel for Mrs Johnson and Miss Brown looking to their release1 from jail. They were the principal witnesses against Caffey.

The State Department of Archives and History has recently been enriched by the addition Of two very valuable life size oil portraits, one of pr. James Guild and the other his son, pr. La : fayette Guild. These pictures are the gift of a daughter of the senior pr :. Guild. Mrs. Ellen Guild Browning. of Anniston. who is an artist of much ability. The pictures are elegantly framed in gilt. with. handsome orna- mented gilt mats.
 The subjects of the pictures were among the most distinguished men of Alabama, and the placing of their por- traits in the State collection is tri- bute to their worth and high charac- ter. The Department of Archives and History, through it's historical portrait gallery, aspfres to make Q thoroughly representative collection of disttn- guished and notable Alabamians. The collection is to embrace pot only po- litical leaders and military leaders. but also men who have reflected luster upon the State in professional and bus mess life. The collection now em- braces more than seventy-five large oil portraits, and included in the num- Der will be found lilkenesses of every field of endeavor in the life of the State.
