EFFECT OF REGENT
 RAINS ON CROPS
COUNTY FARMERS
 SAY CORN AND OATS HAVE
 BEEN AIDED AND COTTON RE- TARDED BY RAINS.

Citizens from different sections of the county in the city yesterday, who were questioned concerning the agricultural conditions since the recent rains, agreed that the ranstorms had injured the cot ton, but had aided the oats and corn. speaking of this, Woolsey Morrow who lives near Trussville, said
 When I say that my crops are in fine condition I feel sure that what I say applies not only to my own section of inc county, but to the other sections as we'll for the rains that we have been having were general and naturally the conditions are the same all over this dis trict. While we have had good deal of rain, we have also had a large amount of sunshine and the two elements to- gether have given us just what we want cd, namely: good corn and oat weather. I will admit that the cotton is not up to the standard, but expect it to reach good growth in the near future. l cer tainly have no cause to complain of the weather for the past two weeks"
 Several others, among whom were B. D Short and w. M. Burgin, expressed the same opinion and indeed, one of them made the remark that he would be glad to see the present weather continue for a while longer.

T. U., she gave much at tention to every enterprise for the up- lifting of humanity. After the death of her husband Mrs. Brooks, then in the full vigor of a most noble womanhood and with a natural love for work, soon found field in educational lines that gave the opportunity she always sought of helping to train the thought of matur- ing youth to lofty ideas.
 In Washington for number of years she was connected with some of the lead ing schools for young ladies. She leaves one child, a daughter, who was Miss Alice Brooks, now Mrs. Rogers, of Jacksonville Fla In Birmingham there are two nieces and nephew-Mrs. M. A. Myatt, Mrs. Dr. J. M Mason and MT.

CHIEF BODEKER'S FATHER
 HAS EVENTFUL CAREER AS
 CONFEDERATE DETECTIVE
BY CHA RLES FELL.

lowed he rendered valuable service to the Confederate army. He repeatedly crossed the Federal lines in quest of information. his efforts each time endangering his life as a spy.
 On one occasion while on train be- tween Washington and Philadelphia he was dressed in woman's clothing. He was suspected by Federal detectives who were on the train, but his features were concealed by heavy veil and being of German birth he pretended to be unable to speak English and out-talked the Fed erals in German and escaped. On another occasion he. in company with two other Confederate detectives, went out to locate General Grant and to obtain information from within his lines. The three detec- lives were discovered and in their flight two were shot, MT. Bodeker alone escap- ing.
 When President Davis fled from Rich mond, MT. Bodeker went to the Confed- crate capitol to accompany him, and see that he escaped unharmed. He accom- panied President Davis to safety, after which the Confederate President recalled  portant books in Richmond. the location of which would mean much to the Fed erals. President Davis sent Mr Bod eker back on the mission to find these books and conceal them. He did find them and hid them so securely that they were never found by the enemy. Both books are supposed to be fin the posses sion of South Carolina families today. .
 Chief Bodeker states that his father was conscious up until very few min utes before he died He was in one of the Carolinas at the time for his health. At sunrise one morning, 14 years ago now, Chief Bodeker states that his father called his family, and pointing to the sun just peepng over the horizon, re- marked This Is the last time l shall ever see the sun rise" With that he called for the old badge he had worn through the war. and pressing it fer vently he gave it to his oldest son, George, Birminghams present chief, ad- turing him to preserve it always, say ing: T wore it through the war. It l never betrayed the trust he put in me-" With these words he laid down on his bed and was dead in few moments.
 MT Bodeker was born in Essig, Ger many He came to America when 21 years old and lived the greater part of his life in the states in Augusta. Ga He died IA years ago at the age of 67 years.

My Dear MT. Leedy.
 l regret having to advise you
 that I will be unable to be in Bir- . mingham on the 30th inst. as 1
 . expected, as am sailing on
 Wednesday next May 27 for Flu rope. It would have given me the
 , greatest pleasure to have been in
 , Birmingham on this occasion when you are celebrating the inaugura-
 tion of our passenger service into , your city, at which time I could
 have again met the old acquaint- ances of years gone by for, as you 3 know, I was connected with the : Louisville and Nashville road for $ many years and during that time 3 l was in Birmingham great
 deal. For a number of years I have
 advocated the. building of the Illinois Central into Birmingham, and finally succeeded in obtaining the consent of our company to do 3 it. I hope the results of building
 the line will bear out my beliefs and recommendations as ex- pressed to our board of directors
 and that we will secure a fair share of the traffic of that ter 2 ritory.
 Won't you kindly express to the
 Commercial club my sincere re- 3 gret because of my inability to 3 be with them May 30? MT. Rawn, our vice president; Judge Dickin-
 son, our general counsel, and oth-
 2 CT of our officials will be there and will make a good representa-
 3 tion for our road at the opening
 of the new line. Sincerely yours, J. T. HARAHAN. w. B. Leedy, Esq, Birmingham, Ala.
