New Manager Birmingham Transfer
 Traffic Company.

c. A. P. Ebbert, known among the rail road fraternity as Cap" Ebbert, has succeeded Sid B. Jones as general man aser of the Birmingham Transfer-Triffi Go. MT. Ebbert comes from Atlanta, where he was connected for 15 years with the At lanta Baggage and Cab company. He will introduce many modern methods of handling baggage, among them being system of checking baggage from tn residence to destination and having em- ployes of the company in uniform meet every train and check the baggage before the train reaches the city thus saving the travelling public great deal of trou- ble. MT. Ebbert makes these improve ments effective October 1. All that will be necessary in the future for travellers going away is to have their tickets at their homes and the drivers will check the baggage at the house.
 The Transfer-Traffic company is now in better condition than ever to furnish carriages for weddings, theatre partiea and funerals as well as thoroughly mod ern and clean cabs. MT. Ebbert has his office at the headquarters of the company First avenue and Twenty-second street. where his telephone will be No. 3S. There is no man in the south better equipped to handle a transfer business than MT. Eb- bert and some marked Improvements may be anticipated immediately.

By w. P. HoFFERBERT.

Gadsden, September 2.-(Special.) .)-Al- though married 70 years ago and the parents of IA children, MT. and Mrs. L.. B. Stroud, of this city, are able to relate the interesting occurrences which have transpired during their long and event ful lives. He was born in 1916. and is therefore 92 years old, while she was born in 1923, and is S5 years of age. They were married in July, 1888. Their oldest child, Mrs. M E. Phillips, of Sylacauga, Ala is TO years of age.
 Were Born In Georgia.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Stroud were born in the state of Georgia. MT. Stroud was born in Lee county, then Macon). He grew to manhood there and when the Indian Creek war broke out in 1882 he en- listed in the army and fought through the war. He was a young man then. When the Indians were finally put flight and driven from Georgia to the everglades of Florida, he followed them to their haunts. The scenes he witness ed on the way were terrible to relate, and he has frequently told of the path of
 
 ward journey, as they fled from the pur- suing white army.
 Fought for the Confederacy.
 Returning from the Indian war MT. Stroud was married and settled down tc the comforts of his home life in his na- tive Georgia county. But when he had almost reached the half century mark the cloud of war again darkened the horizon. The north had driven the south to arms to protect their homes and sacred rights, and, although growing ole and somewhat feeble, MT. Stroud again took up the gun and went to the front He enlisted in the regular army, towards the close of the war, and served faithful ly to the end.
 Mrs. Stroud has a no less interesting history than that of her husband as ever since she was 15 years of age her life has been linked to his. When she was in her fifteenth year she was married to MT Stroud. She was born in Upson county, Ga, in 1928, and grew to woman hood there When a girl she was baptized in the Primitive Baptist church. by the renowned Rev. Crummel Cleveland, an old time Baptist minister. who spent his life for the love of the people of the Georgia and Alabama frontier Fourteen children were the result of this union. Some are dead, but with one exception the children lived to their maturity. Those now liv- ing are Mrs. J. L. Stroud, of Sylacauga. aged 70 years; J. L. Stroud, the eldest son, aged 68 years, and residing at Gold Hill, near Opelika, Ala; l.. B. Stroud w.

Ward killed a man named Phillips in Sand Valley with a knife.

b. Stroud and Mrs. J. M. s-,en, all oi whom reside in this city; J. w. Stroud another son. died three years ago in this city, and B H. Stroud, the last member of the family to pass away, died hert last November.
 Both Retain Faculties.
 Although they both outived all thos, of their early youth, MT. and Mrs. Strouo are alive and enjoy almost all their ia culties as well as they did 20 years ago The most remarkable thing about theil lives is the fact that they have lived fol 70 years as man and wife. MT. Stroud is quite feeble at times, suffering with at tacks of rheumatism. Up to a year az he was able to read the newspapers, but for the past year he has been forced to give up this enjoyment.
 He has the distinction of voting at al most every presidential election, both be fore and since the war, and even the prohibition election last October, he rode to the polls and cast his ballot. He vote the straight prohibition ticket and helped in this way to secure prohibition fo Gadsden. He desires to vote in the gen eral election this fall, and, being d life long democrat, he will cast his vote fol Bryan, the choice of his party.
 Mrs. Stroud, although age is telling upr on her, is able to walk about the house and frequently visits the stable and gar den. She enjoys good eyesight and can carry on any conversation. She was never a very robust woman, and is to- day seemingly enjoying as good health as she was during the past 20 years.
 Both these old people are of the true southern type and have lived exemplary Christian lives and it is probably because of this that the Creator has allowed them the privilege of enjoying more than the usual number of years allotted to man on earth

Cuba. September 12.-(Special.)-The boil weevil or boil worm continues to dam- age the cotton fields in this section, but it is not moving from one field to an- other with much rapidity, which leads the farmers to believe that 1t is not the boil weevil w. E. Mogowen & O. have received advice from the New Orleans Cotton Exchange that a stalk sent there has been viewed with much interest by the members but they have not agreed as to what the trouble is Sample stalks are to be sent to the state commissioners of agriculture in order that he may pass upon it. So far the trouble Is still confined to the highly fertilized fields, thin lands being unaffected.
 Much interest centers here in the call of W. P. G. Harding for d meeting of the bankers and all interested for plan of operation to finance the cotton crop. Farmers generally are more conservative than usual this year and 1t is believed that the call will be generally needed and the attendance good. Merchants here are of the opinion that the crop Will not be d bumper one and that 10 cents should be realized for it. Practically all the cotton coming here will be held un- til about November l unless 10 cents can be had before that time.
 This community was much shocked and grieved yesterday over the death of Ly- man Shaw, which occurred at a. m. Deceased was the youngest son of E. M. Shaw tax assessor for this county, and was about 30 years of age.
 He was a member of the Baptist church here for several years, having united with same at an carly age. lie Was 0 consistent Christian and his daily life exemplfied all those teachings of the Bible that make for the betterment of mankind.
 He was a graduate of the Agricultural and Mechanical college of Alabama, and was an excellent mechanical engineer. Shortly after completing his course he was connected with the Alabama Great Southern in Birmingham. Leaving there he held important positions with the Union Pacific at Cheyenne, Wyo., and with the Santa Fe at Los Angeles.
 On account of developing rheumatism he had to give up engineering and for the past two years has been connected with the public schools of Mobile.
 lie was lalu to rest lnls lnofiilS III the family burying ground here. The last resting place was a solid bank of flowers, testfying the high esteem in which he was leld. No young man has ever eXerted so potent an influence for good in this community.
 Much local interest centers in the prob ability that R. A. Clay of this place will make the race for the legislature at the ensuing election MT. Clay is some7 what of a Conner man, although he feels that some legislation that was enacted under the Conner regime has not been best for the state. He is squarely op- posed to any new counties, believing that their bonded indebtedness could not be eanitablN distributed under any new

 Mir Clarkson outlined the work which has been done in this district under the efforts of Captain Hobson and told of the helpful influence of the many model farms conducted He also stated that Captain Hobson was desirous of being called upon for assistance In any matter In which he could render service and put at the disposal of the district the help of the governmental departments. MT Recknagel gave an interesting and instructive talk on the great waste and destruction of forests which we suffer and the consequence that will result if we do not talk heed. He showed how easily we might preserve the timber and also make the supply inexhaustable. He took occasion to express himself as to the splendid work Captain Hobson had inau- gurated in getting this aid for this dis trict, and stated that many other con- gressmen are following his lead In this matter
 Both speeches were well received, and afterwar number remained to get fur ther information and to ask for educa- tional tracts on various subjects.

CLEANING. OUT
THE RIVER
CAPT. HANSON HAS GONE UP THE
RIVER.-WILL REMOVE DAN
GEROUS ROCKS FROM COLUM-
BIA CHANNEL.

The balance of the $42, 900, aopro-
priated at the last session of congress
for the Improvement of the Coum-
bia river between Wenatchee and
Bridgeport, is going to be used up
this winter. Capt. Hanson, who was
here last spring and did great deal
Of work on the river, but suspended
work when the river commenced tu
come up, IS back again and went up
the river the first of the week The
government scow is now at Pateros.
This will be moved down to Chelan
Falls, where Capt. Hanson will blast
out the big rocks in the middle of
the river at that place. From Che
Ian Falls he will come down to En-
tiat where considerable work has to
be done. Some rocks will also be
blasted out at Rocky Reach, hear
the limekiln, and then Capt. Hanson
will move down to the mouth of the
Wenatchee river where there are
some very bad places.
There is growing sentiment
among the legislators of the west for
the opening up of the Columbia
river, and it is thought that a very
liberal appropriation will be secured
from the next congress for open
river work. The little work done
last spring by Capt. Hanson was a
great help to navigation, and the
money to be spent this winter will
be of still greater assistance.
