In my district the work has covered the subjects of forestry, good roads, soil surveys, educetion. farm utilization, and Ia soon to take up the question of seed breeding; and after that cover the subjects coming under the bureau of animal industry, I, would suggest that you have . general committee on government co-operation appointed 10 consider these subjects"

He Differs With coL k J. Pickett Over Certain Details of the Eamors History of Alabama Tells of Characteristics of the Indians.

2 The letter which forms the present & &instaiiment of his "reminiscences was # written by General Thomas S, Wood < yard. the frontiersman of Alabama. to x the famous historian, Colonel A. J.. q Pickett. In this letter the old Indian &curacy of a few details of Colonel Picketts history, most of which are
 of no great consequence. and in do- ing SO he illustrates trait of human \ nature, which appears general in all N ages, by which the actor In historic # scenes regards the records of those
 tncidents with jealous care and Is sen- q eitive about details.
 The chief fault found by General f Woodward is that Coionef Pickett has *presented Alexander Mc0HIivray as a &tearned man. In writing his history, Colonel Pickett came across In the E archives of the government at Wash \ letters from Alexander McGillivray. who at the beginning of the nine teenth century, lived ct Little Taiisee. on the Coosa River, a few miles from * Wetumpka. These letters were of ex- ceptional ability---so much 90 that Colonel Pickett copied some of them and embodied them In his history. He CT of the Creeks and who had reia- tions with the American, the Spanish and the British governments, 'sThe American Taileyrand."
 General Woodward says that the let- ters were written by Alex Leslie, a brilliant Scotchman.
 It happens. however, that Colonel < Pickett in atributing the authorship of them to McGillivray is sustained by an authority of which neither he nor General Woodward knew. This was John Pope, who shortly before the be- ginning of the ninteenth century about 1873. visited McGfllivray at his home near Wetumpka. They had some mutual friends in Richmond and Phii- adelphia. Pope describes how McGii- Iivray sat down In the midst of lot of chiefs and IndianR and wrote sever al splendid letters. So impressed was he by the excellence of the letters that Pope copied them iR his Journal and commented upon them and their merit. as did Colonel Pickett on. the others.
 Neither Pope nor Pickett knew of the others admIration for McGliliv- rays ability--EditorIa Note.

THOUGHT DEAD:
RETURNS HOME
Cadlz Man Believed Buried
Returns After Rowing
Career.

Cadiz Jan. 2S-Le:lie Barefoot. an
oid soldier who was Supposed to be
dead and buried a month ago.
walked into Cadiz yesterday morn
ing to the establishment of many
persons who know ann well.
Word was received from Union
City Ind, Christmas day that a
man MINED Leslie Barcroft had died
very suddenly at Milton, town
near that pace, and asked what
should be done with the body.
His two sisters, Misses Helen and
E'za Barcroft of Oldiz were con-
suited, and they communicated vita
Mr.. Baucroft's daughter, Mrs Carrie
Henry of Cincinnati, and It was
decided that the daughter should
attend the funeral, Mr.. Bancroft
having been rather wild sort of
fellow, havirg tIhmped ail over
the country, and his daughter not
having seen him whthln her recol-
lection, a description of the man
was furnished and Mrs. Henry went
to Milton, Ind. and the body was
given a respectable burial Nothing
was known of the mistake until
the real MIR. Bancroft walked into
town.
The officials in Indiana will be
asked to make an effort to identify
the mhn that was burned, and Mrs
Henry will probably ask the officials
10 stand the expense of the funeral
since It has developed that she was
not burYng her father.
There was no other Leslie Bar
croft in this section, and it Is .
puzzle TO the people here to know
how such mistake occurred.

WILL HE FOLLOW sUIT2

The house decided, Wednesday,
that the language used and the epi-
thets spoken by Congressman Willett
In his speech denouncing President
Roosevelt were not fit to go into the
Congressional record and to make a
clean sweep of it, the whole speech
was expunged. 1t matters oht whether
q man may be an admirer of the
president, he cannot but agree that
the house was right in the stand 1t
has taken. No member OF the house
or senate should be allowed TO use
tngentlemanly language when speak
ing Of the nations chief executive
and when such a thing is attempted
the speaker should be called from
the floor, just as in the case of Mr..
Willett, and his speech should not be
allowed TO becom part of the record.
But, President Roosevelt should take
a lesson from the house. He cannot
wash his hands and say that he has
had nothing TO do with the matter
and that the blame all belongs with
the house. President Roosevelt Isl
really the one who started the mess,
by becoming too vitriolic in his
messages and still more bitter in
those letters which he has been send
ing out TO this man and the other
with view to having them given to
the press. 1t is only regrettable
that there IS no one to-. call a halt
upon the president. The house has
done the right thing by repr!manding
a member for having spoken ungen-
uemanly Of the president and now
~ President Roosevelt wants to meet
congress half way and put an end
TO this cat and dog fight which has
been going on between the White
House and the capitol he win put a
seal upon his own lips, make his
messages more in keeping with the
dignity of the office which he holds
and stop his letter writing for news
paper notoriety.
