Selma, Ala, June 15.--All that was

ator John T. Morgan was laid to rest
here this afternoon. The funeral oc-

largest concourse Of people ever as

citizen Of Alabama.
Morgan's Career.
Born at Athens, Tenn, June 20,
1924. Senator Morgan had led from
early manhood life in touch with
all questions OF interest appertaining
to period teeming with problems
and policies which mistakenly clam
lored for solution.
When he was nine years of age,
young Morgan, with his parents, NOV
ed from Tennessee to Calhoun County,
Alabama and upon attaining to man
hood he studied law at Talladega.
and began the practice Of his profes-
sion at the early age Of twenty-one
years.
The first impression made upon ma
tional politics by the embryo states
man was In the memorable campaign
OF 1860, when he was presidential
elector on the Breckenridge ticket.
His speeches at that time gained
him reputation for oratory which
be sustained for many succeeding
years. After entering the National
Senate, General Morgan largely lost
that attractive quality Of speech
which men term eloquence, although
he was perhaps the most prolific
speaker In that august body.
His physical and mental powers Of
endurance were signally emphasized
on several crucial occasions, when By
his ability to continue his speeches
he succeeded in preventing vicious. leg
islation inimical to the best Interests
of the South. This was especially TIL
case in his memorable speech in tn
discussion of the Force Bill,' which
he was able to continue for several
days. thereby contributing perhaps
more than any other factor towar'
the defeat Of this outrageous meas
ure.

ably represented.
The South has given to the republic
no more remarkable man than Sena-
ator Morgan. Although far past the
proverbial three score years and ten,
his death may yet be regarded as I'M
timely.
Senator Morgan will be succeeded
in the Senate by Hon. John H. Bank
head, of Alabama, who with former
Governor Joseph F. Johnston was
elected alternate senator few months
ago.
The Legislature which reassembles
at Montgomery in July will confirm
Mr.. Bankhead's election as Senator
Morgan's successor.

SENATOR MORGAN SLEEPS
BENEA74 SOD OF ALABAMA

joined the Confederate army at the
beginning of the Civil War as private
and rose to the rank of Brigadier
General, his last military service be-
ing in the commands of Longstreet,
Hood and Johnston
He resumed the practice Of law af-
ter the war in Selma, Ala. and from
that time became potential figure
in the politics of the State.
AS early as 1876, General Morgan
was elected a member of the United
States Senate from Alabama and has
continuously served as such up to the
time Of his death on Tuesday.
His last reelection took place at
the meeting of the Alabama Legisla-
| ture during the past winter. Although
he had attained to an unusual age,
he was loath to retire to private life,
and the State he represented was un-
willing to relegate him to retirement,
cherishing for him sentimental re-
gard and desire to crafty his ambi
tion to Idle in harness.p
Senator Morgana's chief claim up
on the admiration of the South was
his rare and wonderful gifts as con
stitutional lawyer. As such he had
not superior and certainly very few
peers.s His opinions on all questions
appertaining to State, National and
international law, received the pro
1foundest respect and consideration In
this country and in Europe. His dis
cussion and defeat of the ubiquitous
IsForce Bill" and his years Of cease
