THE BOYS NATURAL RIGHT

It is said occasionally, and by the unknowing, that the south is not now producing lawyers of the same high order of intellectual power as formerly. Her judges and statesmen of today, it is asserted, do not rank with those of former years.
 This islander has now fallen to the ground. The Southland s proud pre- eminence in law has been vindicated. In Mississippi toy climbed an oak tree to which an electric light wire was attached. He was badly burned and his parents sued the company.
 Defendant said it had no way of anticipating that boys would climb trees, and if it had, boys had no right to do such things anyway. The court ruled otherwise. The learned judge held that Git is the inalienable right of all boys to climb all trees" This, of course, under the clause of the dee laration of independence enumerating certain inalienable rignts of all man kind (which includes boys) "among which are life, liberty and the pur- shit of happiness.
 Where can boys pursue happiness if not into the tops of treesi What soul less corporation shall deny that happi- ness is to be found there when pur- suedi Thus is vindicated both the far seeing wisdom of the fathers and the legal profundity of Mississippi judges.

bamians of the present day was lack Ing In the first structure. Another difference was notable. The approach to the old Capitol was planned on far different lines from that of the Capitol of the present day. The entrance to the old structure was up a wide flight of stairs to the second story. The first story had what Is called an English basement effect" that is, the floors were practically on the level with the ground. while the main entrance was a flight of steps reaching 70 the sec ond floor
 The wide flight of steps ended on a broad portico, not unlike that in front of the present Capitol, but being on a level with the second floor of the structure. From this portico to the roof of the third floor there rose Gre elan columns very similar to those on the Capitol of today. The interior of the building seemed to have been ar tistically decorated and there is men tion of friezes, columns and artistic ornamentatLon in the descriptions of the interior of the old structure. The second floor of the old Capitol had the same arrangement as the Capitol of the present day. The Hall of Representa- tives was on the south side of the

The words of the great New York architect, but endorsed the course al ready determined upon by the State officials of Alabama. The interior was to be remodeled and beautified, but the exterior was to remain unchanged,
 The addition which is nearing com pletion is not the first to be added to the old structure. The Supreme Court wing was added In 1887 It was cheap ly built, although its interior arrange ments as to the library and court room are excellent. But it was built directly after State Treasurer had embezzled a great deal of the funds of the State and the law makers were afraid they could spend but little on Capitol improvement So S25, ,000 was set aside for this additional wing and it takes no architect or practical build CT to see that architectually the court wing is inferior to the remainder of the building. Great plans for the fu- ture to carry into effect have been drawn for the improvement and Identification of the Capitol.

towns AIabamatown on the west and New Philadelphia on the east. Court street was the dividing line. Dexter planned ahead to get the court house for his town of New Philadel- phia when the county should be or ganized.
 The authorities agreed to award the court house to the town which would raise and donate $20,000 for the build ing. Dexter. by mortgaging the prop erty adjacent to what is now Capitol Square. raised the money and an- nounced that he was ready to build the court house. But Alabamatown had the pull. The agreement was not kept and the court house was awarded to the town on the west. But Ala bama failed to raise the money to build the court house. After two or three years of waiting 1t was proposed to Dexter that If he would help build the court house it would be set up on the dividing line of the two towns and he promptly agreed to help in the build ing. Under that agreement the court house was erected on Court Square on the site of the present fountain.
 What Is now Capitol Square was left vacant, to become in other years the seat of government. So, when Montgomery won its fight, there was ready a place In which to put the Capitol Montgomery had to do even more. While the State of Alabama had built the Capitols at Cahaba and at Tuscaloosa she required Montgomery to build the new Capitol. So the City of Montgomery, under the direction oi Colonel Pollard and Mayor Benson, fs- sued $s0, 1000 In bonds which were promptly bought by the citizens of Montgomery.
 With the fund thus obtained the first Capitol was built. It cost more than the old part of the present Cap itol From existing descriptions the interior of the old Capitol was hand somer and more artistically decorated than the interior of tho building which succeeded it. From the outside, how ever, 1t was not as architecturally handsome or impressive as the present building. There are extant pictures of the scld structure and one of those re- produced for this article conveys an adequate Idea of the appearance of the Capitol built by the people of Mont gomery but which went up in smoke.

 The chief difference was in the ab- sence of a dome from the first ptruc- ture. The graceful dome which sur mounts the Capitol known to Ala

building and the Senate Chahmber on the north side. The two filled the story. The principal State offices were located on the basement floor and oth- CT offices were distributed throughout the third floor.
 When the Capitol was burned the watch dogs of the treasury of those days insisted that the seat of govern ment be moved back to the old Capi- tol at Tuscaloosa, because the State was not able to pay for the building z of a new structure. But the friends of Montgomery had an argument to fight this proposition. It was this:
 Tt will not be economy for you to move back. If you move back you will be bound in honor to pay the peo- pie of Montgomery the sS0000 which they spent to give you new Capitol They turned that Capitol over to you in splendid condition and under your control 1t was burned. That Capitol was given to you with the understand ing that the seat of government was to be kept at Montgomery. If you move back you owe Montgomery $S0,000."
 Montgomery again won. The Iegis- lature appropriated s6o,ooo for the building of new Capitol, the Capitol that is familiar to the present genera ton. Some six thousand or seven tnou- sands dollars additional were Hppro- priated to complete the building and pay some expenses incidental to its construction. Material and labor were much cheaper in the year of 1850 than they are in the year of 1907 and the Capitol could not be reproduced fol anything like the price it originally cost to build 1t. In the building of 1t Nimrod F. Benson of Montgomery and Daniel Pratt of Prattville, were named as the Commissioners for the State.

was Charles T, Pollard, Alabama's first great Captain of Industry. He was the head of the Citizens Committee which directed the fight and he represented throughout the campaign the commer- cial and business interests of the city. II was his force and energy that kept the people alive to their opportunity and keyed up to the struggle.
 The Capitol came because 1t had to come with such forces at work Above and beyond the struggle for the honor Montgomery paid no small price for it. In the first place the city gave the State. free of all charge, the Capitol Square on the hill as a site Tor the Capitol and its yard. This piece of ground as beautiful as it was. was not set aaprt by Andrew Dexter. as the future site of the Capitol as is er- roneously believed. The yard, the open space on the hill, vas left for a court house. This is made quite clear by the written statement of J. G. Klinck. an associate of Dexter's who came to Montgomery with him. When the city was laid off Dexter reserved that site for the court house.

 Activity of Pioneers.
 Beyond this colossal struggle Twen- tieth Century Montgomery can look and pay the tribute of a thought to those men who planned and carried out the campaign which not only gave Montgomery the State Capitol but made 1t possible as the birthplace of the Confederacy. Montgomery might at least give a thought to Nimrod E . Benson who. after serving the city a Mayor and guiding 1t through some of the troublous years of its early life, retired to carry on his private busi- ness. From that retirement he was called by the campaign to get the Cap itol to Montgomery. He was sum moned to be again the Mayor of the city. that his strength and leadership could have their way in accomplish ing Montgomery's ambition.
 Judge BenaJah S. Bibb the brother of two Governors, had been one of the city's most valuable citizens. The peo- pie of the city and of che country had consistently called hrm to every office of trust within their gift. Late in life he was summoned to give his leadership and ability to Montgomery in it's great fight. To help win the Capitol he was induced to be can didate for the Legislature
 Dr. Robert J. Ware, the great Whig leader of the coutny, went back to the Alabama Senate to throw his great influence to his city and county in the fight to have the Capitol moved.
