AN AUTUMN PICTURE

| walked today in the autumn
woods, and from every way I looked
the dainty goldenrod was waving me
a happy, graceful greeting, swayed
gently by the murmuring autumn
breeze.
With beauty-bewildered eyes I be-
held the glory Of the sumach, maple
and sweetgum-great bouquets they
were Of crimson, Of gold, and of
purplish-red.
A green-and-gold china tree lifted
its branches toward the dreamy blue
of the sky, and a gray squirrel frol-
licked up and down the trunk of
great water oak.
Overhead, in the boughs Of the
dark, green pine trees, the winds
were chanting a requiem to the dy-
ing year, and at my feet the leaves
were blown here and there, as if they
were rather confused at the turn
things had taken.
All the summer long the airy,
trembling leaves have worked with
Titanic energy, identifying, purify
ing the earth, shading it, cooling it,
tanning it, absorbing the carbonic
acid gas, giving off oxygen and MAX
ing the air fit for animal life to
breathe, and now they fall to the
earth-their mission ended? Not yet.
For awhile they will blow lightly
about at our feet, then the sleep Of
winter will overtake them, the rains
will fall gently upon them, and by
the wonderful chemistry of nature
they will be converted into new soil
for the flowers to grow in next spring.
In the yard the roses are blooming
throwing bouquets to the departing
year-and the chrysanthemums are
getting ready to delight and cheer the
world with their beauty and fra
GRANGE a little later.
Surely the year dies bravely and
beautifully!

 8 charming creation of lavender tints with sequin design.
 Last evening the Country club, en- tertaining in honor of the visiting sponsors, was the scene of one of the most brilliant balls ever given in the history of Birmingh am. The club has become noted for its beautiful enter tainments, but last night exceeded even itself Certainly it has never extended its hospitality to so vast a concourse of distinguished men and beautiful women. The spacious rooms and broad verandas of the club were lavishly decorated with flags of the old south artistically placed among the soft folds of bunting in the patriotic colors. Myrid lights from the chandeliars shed dazzling radiance over the scene. The windows on the east side of the club were removed, thus making the veranda seem part of the spacious rooms, in which the cool night breeze from the gardens might enter. The club orchestra with several additional pieces discoursed patriotic airs throughout the evening.
 Several hundred guests took part in the hall which was opened Dy Miss Eva Co., mer. sponsor for the United Sons of the Confederate Veterans of the south, and Gen. John w. Apperson, commander of the Sons of Veterans. MT. Hill Ferguson directed the grand march and led the cotillon. There were no intricate figures, owing to the large number of guests.
 The air of "Dixie,' played thrillingly by the orchestra, gave the signal for the end of the march and the beginning of the cotillon
 The veranda was thronged with guests throughout the evening, many seeking it's dimly-lit coolness after the brilliance within. Ices and light refreshments were served.

SCHOOL TEACHER and Coffee Drinking

Many good people are 10th to give up coffee even though they admit that 1t is doing them harm, because they fear that nothing else in the way of a hot beverage will satisfy them. scho >l teacher says:
 T always enjoyed coffee for break Cast. The day seemed lost without |. But in time I began to experience bad results from it's use.. I grew very nervous and lost flesh and finally was prostrated by a complete nervous breakdown. Then was colspelled to abandon the use of coffee.
 "I adopted Postum as my hot bev- craze at breakfast. Have been using it for more than two years. My health is restored and I am able to take an interest in life once more.
 My whole family, children and all. drink Postum, and we all thrive and keep healthy on it. It Is to us .-<- lightful drink, delicious and tempting and with none of the harmful effects that usually follow the use of conee. The choicest brands of Java and Mocha, offered free, would not tempt us to quit the use of Postum."

CORRECTING ERRORS OF HISTORY WRITER'S General Evans Submits Impor- tant Report to Convention HONOR IN TRUE FACTS Says Daceers Of Misrepresentation Are Being Wrenched From False
 Writers by True Southern
 Men.
HONOR IN TRUE FACTS

Gen Clement A. Evans, who was yes terday afternoon elected commander-in- chief of the veterans, made the report of history committee yesterday morning. It was an interesting and important docu- ment. He declared that the deadly dag ger of misrepresentation of historic facts had been found. and is being wrenched from false writers by the efforts of true southern men, He said that the history of the great war would go down as it occurred. and more honor would be awarded to the veterans of this than any other war in the history of the world. Here is the full report;t
 General Evans Reports.
 This assembly is representative of the people of that part of our country com- monly called the south. It stands, as a body for the true eitzenry of power fuI section of the United States. The peo- ple thus represented have views of true civic virtues and of the true social status and the distinct responsibilities Of the American people which are shared by the greater number of our countrymen every where. It cannot he suspected without shudder that their ideas and ideals arc scorned by majority of the people of the union. In fact this truly grand gather ing represents the intelligence and the en- ergies, the traditions and the history, the intense patriotism and the exalted hopes of a chivalric people whose ancestors were leaders of great prominence in the found ing of our constitutional republic.
 The Special Object.
 The .pecial work chosen by the great soldiers organization here in annual ses- sion is purely patriotic, peacemaking' ben eGeial to the whole country and valuable t. posterity forever. Its principal objects are to preserve comradeship; to establish justice and purity in all literature espe- ciallv in history; to abolish sectional dis cord: to promote genuine and generous courtesies among the people whose ia thers nearly half a century ago strove for the mastery with bloody severity four years upon many historical battle fields
 In proper furtherance of these grand designs, herosm is being commemorated by durable monuments as well as by ev- cry other token that can inspire men with the true heroic spirit and the love of truth which makes people free indeed; and it must be further stated ul1 among this cluster of stars% guides to national glory it has become necessary to place the insistance that the reasonable claims of the south for better recognition should be allowed: that it's local problems should be more fairly considered. and that it should be unhindered in it's efforts to maintain. under existing embarrassments, the social and racial integrity of all that people who developed and civilized North America. and established the democratic republican government which we enjoy.

The mere argument on certain debatable questions of great importance has been exhausted. These issues have been ably discussed in conventions like this for many years with clearness, truthfulness and power by the n9st eminent men of the country. None of them need further discussion at this hour before this well in formed assembly. The south rests It's reasons and It's acts in the effort of the states to form a separate government on the law and the testimony with absolute confidence in the justice of it's cause. The southern people stand upon the firm Easis of their sound and solid character and upon the principles of constitutional law, civic right, and moral duty which ruled their actions. With profound satis- faction they contemplate their history from the first settlement in Virginia. cen turies ago, and their immense contribu- tion since then to the greatness of our country. With the purest spirit of pa triotism they are yet devoting their ener- gies to the moral the educational. the industrial and the fnancia1 uplift of all the people to those lofty civic conditions which alone truly exalt 6nation.
 This attitude of the soutn thus firmly taken on questions forme{ly debatabe even by war, permits in presynt conditions the fair concession on all sides that points of view may be cohsidered, and
