on the contrary. bind Christians to-

Bishop Fowler used to tell about a
young Detroit couple, John Sn.ith and
Hannah Jones.
John Smith was a Presbyterian.
Hannah Jones was Baptist. They
hesitated about marrying because they
feared that in later life, when the lit
tie ones came, religious disputes might
arise. Thus the years passed. Neither
would renounce his church. John
Smith grew bald and Hannah Jones
developed lines about her mouth and
eyes. 1t was a complete deadlock. the
world said.
Then John was sent abroad for
year by his firm to buy fancy goods.
He and Hannah corresponded regular
~. Toward the years end, by a re-
markable coincidence. each received
from the other a letter. the two letters
crossing in the mail. They said:
Friend John: The obstacles that
stood in the way of our marriage have

longer any ground for delaying our
union further l united myself this

Finally he telegraphed to his wife's parents in Cincinnati, tell ing them of his loss, The answer he received settled everything.
 It developed that while he was away from his boarding house in Nashville a telegram had been received at the board ing house, which was given to Mrs Ser gunder. It read: 'I had to go on to Birmingham; meet me there by next train" It was signed Al" She didn't pay any attention to the address simply taking 1t for granted that 1t was intended

Judge Anderson Opposes
 Bar Association Plan

Justice John c. Anderson of the Ala bama supreme court, who came down from Blount Springs yesterday to attend the State Bar association meetings. is op- posed to the proposed plan of having judges of the supreme court nominated by the bar association
 "I have attached but little importance to the suggestion of converting the bar association Into political organization" said Justice Anderson, land owing to my official position would decline to express my views upon the subject but for the fact that silence at this particular time might be construed as an indorsement of the plan by the judges.
 "As lawyer, citizen and member of the association I am opposed to the plan. It would be an invasion of the constitution, which makes the judges elective by the people. It would mean class politics and put the lawyers of the state In an incon- sistent attitude as they above all others condemned the Farmers Alliance for go- ing into politics a few years ago.
 ''The people have elected their judges for over 50 years and have certainly not

 She has only been in America for a year and speaks but poor English. Luck fly for her. however, there was a German family on the train and she made friends with them. When she reached Birming ham and failed to find her husband she broke down and cried. Her new friends after hunting for her husband for sev- eral hours placed her on a train and started her back to Cincinnati, first tele- graphing her parents.
 When her parents received the groom's telegram they understood the matter and sent him word that his wife had just gotten back home and for him to come there He became joyful again and left for Cincinnati rejoicing.
 During his troubles he made the ac- auaintance of Bowling Edwards, an old Atlanta boy, who travels for The Fox Co., of St. Louis. machinery supplies, and who came down from Nashville on the same train with him and assisted in the search for his wire. It was at his suggestion that Bergundur telegraphed the brides parents and he states that the telegraph received In reply was twice as long as lengthy letter and told prac- tically all of the family history. The matter which is puzzling the young couple now is undoubtedly the question as to whom belongs the telegram the bride re- ceiyed

 The meeting of the Kappa Alphas yes- terday was an important one. The fra ternity decided to build a memorial hall to cost not less than $2o.000, on the campus of Washington and Lee university and an agent was appointed to travel in the in terest of the movement. In the election of officers for the coming two years Ed Chambers Smith of Raleigh, N.

grown less capable since the constitution of 1901, which has raised rather than low cred the qualification of the voter. Again, many of the most reputable lawyers of the state are not members of the associa- ton, as 1t contains less than one-fourth of the practicing lawyers of Alabama.
 'As member of the court, and as possible candidate for remaining upon the bench, l would not have a nomination or become candidate if I thought a ma jority of the lawyers of the state op- posed my retention (which I ain assured is not the case); but am democrat and will seek the nomination, if at all. only through such method or plan as may be suggested by the party through it's duly authorized agency, the executive com mittee. I would not have nomination contrary to the wishes of a respectable majority of the lawyers of Alabama-nor will I have it if the voice of the people is to be silenced in order to gain it. vox populi vox dei.
 While I do not speak authoritatively for all of the judges of the supreme court save Justice Denson and myself, l am of the opinion, formed from conver- sations had with them, that their views are in harmony with the foregoing"

MAYOR HAS PLAN
 FOR MORE PARKS
Special Act of Legislature Would Be Necessary To Allow City
 To Sell Property.

Should Mayor O'Brien's proposition be of streets and alleys which are of no use to either the city or abutting property owners and devote the proceeds to the es- tablishing and beautifying of parks, which he submitted to the council at its meet ing Wednesday night, it would mean the spending of nearly $eO,OoO on parks.
 There are a number of instances, the Mayor states, where the ends of streets and alleys are of no use to the city, and on account of their peculiar location will apparently never be, while some abutting property owners are extremely desirous of purchasing them. That the city can secure the true value of the property is what the Mayor states, and he Is very eager to see that the matter is put through.
 Before these sales can be made 1t will be necessary for the legislature to pass a bill authorizing the city to dispose of these certain streets and alleys, and the Mayor has requested that the council ap- point special committee to handle the matter and attempt to have the leglsla- ture pass the bill.
 More park room is needed in Bir- mingham." said Mayor O'Brien, land this amount of money will enable the city to beautify, the present parks and estab- fish several others. For instance, the Lakeview public school has no playground at all for the children, while the ward 1t is in has no park. A park should be es- tablished at this school so that the chil- dren could use 1t as a playground and at the same time have a beautiful park in this end of town. Other parks are also badly needed and I earnestly trust that the legislature will pass the bill and enable us to further beautify the town"
