THAT HEBREW CLUB.
Editor of the Democrat:

Editor of the Democrat:
 Please allow me space in your columns to call attention to the re- port of what has been termed a meet ing of republican Hebrews held Sum day night at which the whole ,c- publican ticket was indorsed. I have inquired into this matter and find that the Hebrews of Waterbury as a body know nothing about it. It is true, though, that A. Levine sather- ed nine persons, four of whom are electors, around him and that they formed what they were pleased to term a Hebrew republican club. This is privilege which belongs to them and no Hebrew would deny them that right If 1t were in his power so to do.
 Who is this MT Levine? He is a plumber, a voter for the past five years, two of which he was social ist, two a democrat and now he has experienced another change of heart and parades himself as a republican. All these things MT Levine has a right to do with the exception of diiiiho to illt T1SUT6WS of Waterbury, for but few of them are in sympathy with the republican party.
 MT Levine knows that the four cleo tors present at the meeting Of his so- called club said they intended to support s. A. Wellington on the re- publican school ticket, but they would vote for all the other demo- cratic candidates. A club composed of men like that can hardly De term ed much of a Hebrew republican body. The Hebrews of Waterbury wills meet Thursday night and or ganize a democratic club. I expect to see practically all the Hebrews of Waterbury in attendance, including MT Levine and his nine followers.
 Yours very truly,
 MAX SCHOLTEP..

Kentucky Man Urges Better Care
 of White House of Confederacy,

T saw the old building last summer and as soon as got here yesterday I walked around to see 1t again. was shocked to see the inroads that time and decay had made on 1t in one short year. s
 l'My home is in Maysvilie, Ky. which was on the border when the great war was in progress. I suppose my town. according to population, furnished more men, both to the Federal and to the Confederate armies, than any other town in the country
 Tn Maysville General Albert Sidney Johnston of the Confederate army and General William Nelson of the Union army spent their boyhood. It is an in teresting fact that the two lived in the same house, although at different pe- rfods. General Grant. although he lived in Ohio, went to school in Nays vile. In Kentucky. although in a dif- ferent section of the State the two great mon of the struggle. Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln. were born.
 "As . result of this Maysviile, per- haps, takes an unusual interest in all that bears upon the wal. Feeling that interest, hope any movement to pre- serve the great relic of history here at Montgomery will succeed"
 When told of the efforts of the La- dies white House Memorial Associa- tion to save the old home. Mir. Curran heartily endorsed the efforts of the la- dies and declared that the movement had evidently not received the support that the men of Alabama should have given 1t.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-06-08

c. D. Curran. well known travel ing man of Kentucky. after visiting the First White House of the Confed- eracy ana noting it's general dilapida- ton. was yesterday moved to announce that he would head a subscription and do anything in his power to help In any movement to restore and main tain 1t. Mfr. Curran makes Montgom- cry only once a year and on each visit he walks around to see the relic of the Confederacy.
 He said yesterday he was shocked to see the way in which the old building was allowed to decay.
 @ T do not want to be presumptious and butt in on matter that some people might say does not concern me-" said MT. Curran. But this mat ter does concern me. It concerns ev- cry man interested in the history of his country. That building was the home of Jefferson Davis. It was the First white House of the Confederacy. It saw the beginning of the greatest chaptersof history of modern time. It is a visible reminder to future genera tious of that time in our history, which stand out clearer and more distinct than any other period of American hts- tory.
 T may be pardoned If say that if almost any other city of the Union had such a great relic, 1t would be zealous- ly preserved. 1 suppose Montgomery has encountered some obstacles in talk ing charge of itsand maintaining 1t. l feel such an interest in the matter thai I am ready to make subscription to a movement for It's preservation and to assist 1t in any way in my power.
