REFILL THE STORIES AT HARDEE MEETING
COMRADES WARD, YANCEY, TALL AFERRO AND OTHERS INTEREST MEMBERS WITH STORIES OF DAYS DURING WAR.

At large and enthusiastic meeting of Camp Hardee, United Confederate Vet erans, yesterday afternoon the members seemed to be in reminiscent mood, and the session was marked by many interest ing relations of war incidents.
 Tears tricllled down worn and furrowed cheeks while comrades retold brotherly sacrifice in the long struggle between the states. Then again the assembly hall re- sounded with peals of laughter while some comrade, with the fresh tears still damp on his cheek, told some incident of the ridiculous, that, strange to say, ire quently occurred on the fighting line and in the camps.
 Comrade Ward told of the origin of the rebel yell at the first battle of Manassas when Stonewall's brigade charged Els worth's Zouaves, almost annihilating the brigade.
 Comrade Yancey related in a humorous vein some of the emergency diets to which the troops were forced. Mule meat and cowpeas was one of the menus that was often served at the mess halls. And he said the men were often glad to get that even relishing the dainties He also told of his being wounded at Vicksburg and carried off the field for dead He was dumped down with the dead bodies of others of his comrades and left as a corpse. As he was being taken off the field on a litter one of the litter-bearers was killed by a shell, the shell taking off his entire head. He witnessed the death and retains distinct recollection of the incident, though 1t was thought that he was practically dead at the time.
 Comrade Ward told of being wounded at Gettysburg and also of hearing a ser mon by Dr. Jenkins the father of Mrs Stonewall Jackson, at the same place Dr. Jenkins was chaplain in the regi- ment. He also told of young boy who belonged to the Federal army trying to persuade his father. who was a rebel to desert and join the northern ranks. The father refused to do so, and father and son continued on opposite sides of the conflict
 Comrades Talaferro, Wade and others told interesting incidents and added to the unusual interest of the meeting.
 One new member. A. B. Hendricks. was received into the camp.
 Lieut.. N. A. Graham presided at the meeting.

poses that they should be allowed to carry out these plans.
 The impression that has somehow gone abroad that Woodlawn IS pllins up large bonded indebtedness to turn over to the larger city is also denied by the officials.
 The present bonded indebtedness of Woodlawn is $10S,OOO, which is charged against the general fund The assessed valuation of the town, according to the tax books which are just now bein made up, is $1,750,OO0, making the in debtedness per cent of assessed val uation.
 The officials make an interesting comparison of these figures with the bonded indebtedness and the tax val uation of Birmingham, which is stated as follows: Bonded indebtedness. $3, ,OOO,O00; tax valuation, $3O,0OO,OO0 in round numbers, making the indebted ness 10 per cent of assessed valuation
 Mayor Perryman has just closed d contract with the Birmingham Water Works company for the installation of Is additional water plugs in the city, which places ample fire protection in reach of every building in the city.

 It is as follows:

Co

Camp Hoadley, the camp of the Bir- mile from Gate City, at the flowing wells. is one of the finest things ever gotten up for the boys of Birmingham.
 Six weeks ago the camp was opened and has had an average of 20 to 26 boys every day, and on Sunday from 20 to 40. Many boys cannot get there during the week. but when Sunday comes and re- a break for the camp.
 Anyone who has visited the place knows why the attraction is so strong for the boys. There they are away from the noise and hustle of the city and be- sides having the glorious freedom of fresh country air they have two magnificent swimming pools which nature provided for them before the camp idea was thought of. Also they have a large and beautiful ball ground and freedom of range in the forest and fields of the sur rounding country. These things are not only a pleasure to the boys, for they give them certain essentials of an educa- tion that could not be gained in a school room, and act as a powerful tonic to their little bodies and minds. which things are so much needed by every boy that is confined in a city.
 Beside these advantages the boys are under the watchful eye and careful att tention of MT. and Mrs. Willows. whom they have learned to love as they do father and mother. Indeed it Is a pleas ure to visit the camp and see how the boys all play around Mrs. Willows and call her mama and how readily and uncomplainingly they obey the instruc- tions of both the superintendent and his wife. The boys seem to feel lost unless they have either MT. or Mrs. Willows with them, even in their play, to advise, instruct, reprove or command, oc- casion may demand.
 A set of more perfect little gentlemen, believe. would be hard to find anywhere. Visit the camp when you will, and you find the boys present neat and desir- able appearance, and they are seemingly on the alert to show any kindness or courtesy possible, and never fall to show a grateful feeling for any little favors received.
 It is a great pity that all the boys In the district who need relief from city en- vironments and who need the physical, moral and intellectual training, such as an ideal camp like this can give, cannot be connected with it.
 The physical welfare of the boys is closely supervised by the camp physician, pr. Prichett, of Gate City, who has been from the beginning of the camp greatly interested in the boys.
 The object of this camp Is not as some have thought-to take bad boys and try to reform them-but to help the so-called bad boy to find himself. The man. agers of the club and camp have long since found that boys are not bad, but only lost from themselves. A view of the boys in camp now will convince any reas- enable mind, though skeptical. that to take boy away from bad environments and cite him to the possibilities within himself. is the sensible thing to do to insure a good citizenship in coming days

SCHOOL CENSUS FIGURES
 WILL SOON BE READY

The school census of the immediate Birmingham vicinity this year. it is be- lieved, will show up exceptionally we'll When the enumerators began their work canvassing the territory within the bounds of the corporate limits of Bir- mingham it was feared that the census would not be as creditable was that of last year. However, this apprehension has been thrown to the winds
 West End has just completed her school census. Superintendent H. P. Burruss re- ports that at present there are 964 school children in West End, while the last cen sus showed only $50. It will be seen that the increase in West End this year is a little more than 4S per cent.

MARSHALL SAYS NO
SENATORIAL FIGHT is OVER SC
FAR AS HE Is COM
cERNED.
MAKES FIRST PUBLIC STATE
MENTS AS TO HIS
POSITION.

Minneapolis Journal: Congress
Thomas R. Marshall of North Dakota
has broken his silence, and for the
first time since election he made a
statement today of his position on
the senatorial result. Mr.. Marshall
was defeated in the final round of
the primaries for United States SEN
ator by M. N. Johnson. Since cleo
tion he has conferred with H. C.
Hansbrough, and it has been report
ed that he would help the retiring
senator in his effort to ovacturn the
primary and get the legislature to
eelect him.
Mr.. Marshall was in Minneapolis
today on his way to Washington A
Journal man put the question to him:
What is your attitude on the sen.
atorship p He replied:
Il stated very clearly and emphatf
ically before the primaries in June
and again in October that it was my
full intention to abide by the result
Nothing has happened to change my
tnind in this respect, and I have nc
ether intention now, / am surprised
that anyone should question my 10
sition in this respect.
There is no doubt but what all
MY friends will take the same posi-
ton.
This statement is believe TO fore

cast the election of M. N. Jihascn
without opposition. Senator Hans
brough was also in the city today,
but was i'll and could not be seen
He has written to members of the
legislature practically asking them to
reflect him, and claiming that the
primary result is not binding because
Democrats participated.
Congressman Marshall has a bill
prepared to relieve thousands of
North Dakota homesteaders who have
been delayed in getting title to their
land by the report of the geological
survey, which has classed their land
as coal land. 1t has caused much
trouble and Inconvenience, and Mr..
Marshalrs bill will provide that the
settlers may get immediate title to
the surface of the land, while the
government will reserve the mineral
rights. s.
He has strong hopes of enacting
his honest paint" bill into law at
this session. This is bill requiring
all paint to be correct1y labeled as to
its ingredients. Extensive hearings
on it were given at the last session
by the interstate commerce commits
sion of the house. Mr.. Marshall hopey
to get the bill out of committee and
through both houses at this session.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall leave for
Washington tonight.

The wind blown shadows scamper
DER the hills
And sunlit patches dot the wooded
sleeps;
Well-fattened herds bend low Ger
shrunken rills,
And. scythe in hand, the careful
farmer reaps.
The Autumn grain has whitened in
the field;
Close-strewn the orchard, where tho
windfalls lie;
Slow turning presses rich ambrosia
yield,
While southwark, now the thrush
and robin fly.
Old Winter calls from out his frozen
lair
And every preeze brings chill OF
coming SHOWS;
Sweet Summers breath but fingers on
the air
To bless the harvest ere it seek re-
pose.
