WANTS MAN WHO
 CAN DO MOST GOOD
Cutcliff Gives Reasons Why Ganbll Should Succeed Eegleston as Ai-
 derman From Third.
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Noticing an article in your paper of Sundays issue by MT. R. H. Kerr in response to Alderman Eggleson's resig- nation and the election of his success sor. It seems to me that there is a combination to keep the man most fitted for the place from being elected. I refer to Mr. A. A. Gambill. As a voter and tax payer of the Third ward, l hope to see a member elected on tn e board to represent that ward that has the determination and moral courage to do something and is capable of do- ing something for the citizens of the Third ward, and that man. In my esti- nation, is the man that the combina- tion is against. While there has been petitions circulated and signed there are several signers that have told me that they did not know there was more than one party seeking the position as alderman of the Third ward. Now as 8 matter of interest to the citizens of the Third ward, prejudice should be left aside and the man that is able to
 
 be elected to the place, and that is the man the combination is against. The party that asked me to sign tn @ petition told me that it was anything to beat this party. Now we have had an empty chair on the aldermanic board filled for long time and nothing doing, and I hope to see the voters of the Third ward throw prejudice to one side and put a member on the board that is able to do more for the people Of the Third ward than any other ma Il they can pick from the entire ward, it don't matter who he is The only thing that can be said against this man is that he made a success for the city of Birmingham in his official capacity has made a success for himself and has the determination and moral cour- age to do things, and he deserves credi for it, and after the voters of the Third ward give him a fair trial he can be reelected to office as long as he wants it. And as l understand the law in t.le event of the resignation or death of an alderman, the vacancy is filled by ti4e Mayor and Board of Aldermen, and we have the utmost confidence that they will elect man that will do tire most good for the ward, and we are tired oi elections and want to get down. to &C., tual business for while. Yours truly,
 W. Fl. CUTCLIFF'.

SELF DEFENSE IS
 PLEA FOR KILLING

Atlanta August 3.-(Special)-Lloyd Hardwick of 64 Garden street was shot to death at midnight Saturday by T. B. Kimbrough of 1855 East North avenue, who was arrested early this morning and today told the officers of the shooting. He de- clares that Hardwick gave him dollar to buy some whisky, and that after he bought it, he drank the contents and had never made any accounting to Hardwick, who twice since that time had abused him about his neglect to return the dollar. On Saturday night he says that Hardwick advanced upon him, with an open knife in his hand and that he had to shoot him in self defense. He left the scene of the shooting, but afterward returned and was arrested He says that he first shot at Hardwick's feet, and when that failed to stop him, shot him through the head His statement as to the shooting is corrobo- rated by Farrs Stowers, who was pres ent at the time of the shooting and is also under arrest.

LONG HURRIED TRIP.
Bishop Brent Goes to Boston for Sur
 gical Treatment.

Boston, August 2-It became known to- day that Bishop Charles Brent of the Philippines, bishop-elect of the Washing ton diocese arrived in Boston Thursday after a hurried trip across the continent from Vancouver, B. C., to undergo en operation here for nasal trouble. The operation was performed Friday at the mission house connected. with St. Ste phen's church, where the bishop was rec tor for ten years. Specialists are said to have been in attendance, but the utmost secrecy has been preserved as to who performed the operation and regarding its exact nature. It is known, however,
 that the bishop was apparently in a
 weakened condition yesterday when he was removed from the mission to the home of one of the prominent members of St. Stephens parish.

PATTERSON GOES
 TO SEE MIR. MACK

New York, August 2.-col. Henry Wat terson of Louisville, chairman of the press committee of the democratic national committee, was luncheon guest today of Norman B. Mack, democratic chair man. The other guests were Roger C.. Sullivan, member of the committee from Illinois; Urey Woodson, national secre- tary, and Mrs. Mack. MT. Mack does not believe in doing political work on Sunday, and he spent free day. He made no appointments and the only con- sideration given campaign work related to the literary question which was dis cussed to some extent with Col. Water son and MT. Sullivan. Josephus Daniels of North Carolina, who will have active charge of the press work, Is expected here soon, and Colonel Waterson will await his coming.
 An appalling amount of mail Is being received daily at the Hoffman house, and MT. Mack is impatient to get headquart- CTS in operation here and in Chicago, in order to take care of correspondence.

 Only two men will be put out at pres ent. as the plan is merely being given a trial. If it proves a success the board will employ from eight to 12 additional men, and the county will be divided up into sections, each man being given an equal mileage of road to keep in condi- tion.
 Only the macadamized roads of the county will be worked on this plan until the method of keeping the highways in condition has been given thorough trial If the method proves success and turns out to be a profitable plan the dirt roads may be included later.

ARMY IS TESTING
 UNDERCLOTHING

Washington, August 2.-Out in the Philippines the army is to conduct a test of the use of underclothing of suit able color to protect the troops against the actinic ray. While the effects of the sun in the Philippines and in the hotter portions of India is said to be far diff ferent, it is believed that 1t would be wise to have a careful investigation made as to the advantages to be derived from the use of underclothing of color to pro- tect against this ray. Accordingly, the depot quartermaster, at Philadelphia is now having prepared 5000 suits of under clothing and as many hat Things, all of an orange red color. They will be shipped to the Philippines, where careful obser- vation will be made to ascertain to what extent color can be depended on as 8 protection for troops against the actinic ray-

MILLER REALIZES
 APPROACH OF DOOM
CONDEMNED MAN YESTERDAY FOR FIRST TIME APPEARED TO REALIZE THAT LIFE MUST END NEXT FRIDAY.

S. Charles Miller, the condemned mur- derer of Fred w. Rainbow, who is to hang next Friday, did not show his &C., customed cheerfulness yesterday. He showed no signs of emotion, but instead there was dull haggard look, and for the first time he appeared to realize his impending doom. Outside of his hag- gard looks, however. he betrayed nc traces of nervousness
 The execution will take place during the morning hours on the gallows in the county jail courtyard. This scaffold has witnessed number of hangings, the last of which was the negro, Henry Thaxton. Under the law the trigger to the trap door which will send Miller into eternity must be pulled by Sheriff Higdon. But few persons will be allowed in the court yard to witness the execution.

Berlin, Tuesday, July 21.-The publica- tion of the orders for the army maneu- vers in the fall of this year. in which nearly 100000 men will be engaged, has aroused the most extraordinary interest in civil as well as in military circles. The strength of the army is to be increased for the time being by no fewer than 2e9,- 742 men from the reserves, who with the standing peace army of 696,S46 men will bring the total under arms at the end of August up to S96,5SS who will fight tac- tically against each other corps by corps.
 Cavalry, artillery, infantry, engineers, motorists, balloonists, field telegraphists and elephenists, cyclists, and all the branches of the service which look after supply and transport, intelligence and communications are to undergo searching tests.
 The exercises which attract most att tention are naturally the imperial maneu- vers in Lorraine, as this will be the first time since the war of 1870 that maneuvers on such an extensive scale will have taken place so near the from tier.
