than a tramway. These points, of course, are small. but it only goes to show the interest that exists today in all these dead and gone matters, as well as receut ones, and the little that is on record about them, in any readable shape, past or present.
 "As for the record of what has been done within the past 20 or 25 years in the railroad business in this state that is a matter of more genuine importance to the most of us, and one which, together with all these minor points of half-forgotten things, should be gathered together and clearly placed.
 "The work of President M. H. Smith of the Louisville and Nashville railroad is going to be placed, I understand, in this history at its true valuation, and the record of the Louisville and Nashville road under MT. Smiths administration will make a very remarkable chapter in the railroad history of the south, and I think will go to show to the people of Alabama the worth and the excellence of Mir Smiths policy and practice, and, in fact, something of the extraordinary cal iber of the man himself. He is a great big man.
 "The history of the old South and North road up to the few years prior to the incoming of MT. Smith has been all ready completed by Miss Armes in it's every intricate detail, taking in those rather tangled episodes of the founding of Birmingham, which, by the way, is fair iy interesting piece of business, as some of us remember. In fact, there are all sorts of odd and singular episodes all through the coal, iron and railroad his- tory of this state that. taken as they are related, make, as I see it, about as good
