To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 So this community has as it's guests of ficlal representatives from the United Mine Workers of America. They hail from a northern cline, and come from the seat of authority which first sounded the tocson of warfare against this dis trict; from the real source of trouble, which has so perplexed and narrowed and distressed the state of Alabama for these many weary weeks.
 Their coming recalls to our mind the events of early post-bellum days, after the Lees and Johnstons had laid down their swords, while the south was still in mourning for the loss of its dead, while poverty and hunger and sorrow were still bearing down upon this land and country. Then it was that emssaries from the north came in sheep's clothing and fired up the minds and hearts of ignorant blacks, sought to instill in their minds bitter hatred toward their former mas ters. with ideas of social equality. All Of which caused still more sorrow and blood shed.
 The yalor of southern manhood arose ahove the shadows of defeat and Of dis- tress and after months of struggle drove back the false teachers, throttled the eV1l spirit they had brought to our state ana with the negro still neighbor and laborer. hut not a social equal, rebuilded tbo yaste places, re-established law and order. disabused the minds of blacks as to tbeir social status, cared for them in their proper sphere. and made new and q vigorous south
 Having redeemed the south, let us pre- serve it.

MOORE WRITES ON VISIT
 OF OFFICERS TO DISTRICT

Now. after 40 years. that evil spirit arises again. comes to our midst in diff ferent form and seeks to re-establish condition of anarchy and of bloodshed by preaching the gospel of social equality. organizing white men and black men in unholy social alliances and white women and black women in ''womens auxil- iaries," thus attempting to blot out the line of demarkatlon, which safeguards both races from an ever-threatening racial peril.
 Men high in position and representative citizens, perhaps deceived by the slyness and the cunning of these creators of dis cord may receive them cordially If they will but as for me and mine we will not forget the causes that have led to this unhappy condition nor fail to remember that the hypocricy of some men often times "stoops to conquer" and some times bends the pregnant hinges or the knee that thrift may follow fawning'- thrift in unrighteousness, thrift that may build for future attacks upon the peace and order of this state, thrift that en- courages renewed attack by viciously con- ceived plans under cover of the white flag.
 All that this community should say to the delegation from across the seas ana from the north is: Let us alone,' and if they heed not the request, then let us drive out every yestige of disorder and all those who caused its coming here, With it's insulting damaging and blood-thirsty course.
 This is our state and we need not the guiding advice of those from afar off. Let them depart in peace If they Will; by force if they must.

SUSPENDS MAN FOR
 SHOOTING NEGRO

As the result of the affair on Red mountain early yesterday morning, which resulted in the serious injury of a negro, who was shot, the painful injury of Pa trol Driver Matthewson, the death of the horse which drew the patrol wagon and the complete demolition of the patrol, Acting Chief of Police Martin Eagan has suspended Police Officer E. l.. Parker, who shot the negro, Ferdinand Wards
 Following is a copy of Captain Eagans letter to the police commission, preferring charges against Officer Parker:
 Birmingham, August 29. 1908. Honorable Board of Police Commission CTS, City:
 Gentlemen-Upon information I hereby prefer charges against Officer E. l.. Parker for shooting negro, Ferdinand Wards, whom he was trying to arrest. This occurred just over Red mountain about midnight last night when Officer Parker was returning home from duty. Officer Parker has been suspended pend- ing investigation by the board Respect fully, MARTIN EAGAN.
 Acting Chief of Police
 Officer Parker stated yesterday after noon that he shot Wards on belief that the negro was trying to hold him and Officer Elledge up. He states that they were driving down the mountain when the negro stepped into the roadway just ahead of them and took hold of the horses bridle. He says that he told the negro two or three times to stand back but that he held on to the bridle and he fired.
 The negro, who was shot in the thigh while seriously wounded, is not believed to have been fatally wounded.

TWO ARRESTS IN
 TRANSFER CASES

Two more arrests were made last night for violatinns of the street car transfer laws the two men arrested were c. Gar ridtson and Manly Gray, both of Ensley.
 Special Deputies E. H. Wilson and J. D. Brown, who arrested two men on Fri day night for this offense, also made these arrests. They allege that Garridt- son presented Gray with a transfer and that Gray presented it to the conductor on the Ensley line. Both men were plac- ed in the county jail, their bonds being fixed at $100
 Much complaint has been made by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Co.,, regarding the giving away of trans fers, and occasionally an arrest has been made, the defendants being brought be- fore Judge Feagin in the police court The swearing out of warrants against offenders of this kind and bringing them into the criminal courts, however, has just been started this week.

THOMPSON OUT
 ON $5OO0 BAIL Quickly Released After Me-
 smiths Decision SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS Case Will Be Presented to the Grand Jury Next Month and If Indicted Fight Will Be Made By
 the State.
SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS

At o'clock yesterday afternoon Solic- itor Hefiin closed the argument for the state in the R. w Thompson habeas corpus proceedings and Judge c. c. Ne smith at once granted the defendant bail in the sum of S5O00. Bond was made in less than ten minutes and as the prisoner walked out of the county jail a large crowd of friends began congratulatng him.
 Court convened at S:30 o'clock yester- day morning, the arguments being start ed immediately Attorney Fleetwood Rice for the state, who was to make the opening argument. was too i'll to at tend court and Attorney R. N. Bell opened with the defense's argument. B. M. Allen followed, while Solicitor Hefin began the states argument shortly after court convened for the afternoon session at o'clock
 A large crowd was in attendance all during the day. gaining in size toward the finish of the arguments. That Judge Nesmith's decision was a pleasing one was evidenced by the crowd.
 It was the night of July "A when Thompson killed Ebert Robertson and since the commission of the crime he has been confined in jail. At a preim- mary hearing given him two weeks ago Judge H. B. Abernethy bound him over without bail, and his counsel, Messrs Allen & Bell, sued out a writ of ha- beas corpus few days afterward
 This case will be presented to the grand jury next month and in case Thompson is indicted a very strenuous fight will be put up by the state to prevent him from getting bail As the case now stands there is nothing which the solicitor can do toward keeping Thompson from having his liberty under bail, as he is simply under arrest on a warrant. Under an indictment, however the state will have much more fighting ground and in case the local courts give the defendant bail Solicitor Hef1in can appeal to the supreme court. Tn this case the supreme court would probably be at least six weeks in looking into the case during which time Thompson would have to stay in jail
