Fish Stories.
Contributed

Recently Dr. Shirley and party
camped near Little Sequachee bridge
on fishing outing, and of course,
DR.. Shirley had to repeat his last
years fish story. In 1908, when the
high water came up, DR.. Shirley went
over to look at farm near the old
wire bridge site. There was slough
which the rising river had filled last
year. DR.. Shirley said he had to stop
at the slough and wait fifteen minutes
for black bass fish to swim past so
he could drive through the slough.
But fish stories grow with age and
very appropriately DR.. Shirley, in
telling the story, recently said he had
to wait thirty-five minutes for all that
fish to get past.
1.-THE biggest fish ever saw" said
T. NJ. Walker, twas out in Ellsworth
county. The river was nearly up to
the top of a railroad bridge. AS the
train was over the bridge a fish ap-
peared. He Topped his tail as fishes
will, and the end of that tail struck a
brakeman on top of one of the freight
cars and knocked him over into the
river. We never did find the man ,
body. 1t is my opinion the big fish
ate him.
I'm 19O3," said DR.. N. b. Moore,
II was driving across bridge neal
Seauachee. The water was boiling
and up to the bridge. My wife and
were in the buggy and we had just go

ride and we expected to be killed a
any minute. A mile up the next sec
ton the bridge had been washed out
and, by George, this bridge droppe'
right in the place Of where the old on
stood and we drove off. We coul

Roope, Tenn, Aug. 3, 1909.
Editor News:
As | am subscriber to your "chat-
ty" little paper will write few lines
from Roope to express our appreciation
of your paper. We all enjoy reading
it, especially since your publication of
the discussion between the Washing
ton and Sequachee correspondents.
We think your course in publishing
the "Truth' commendable, knowing
so many oppose the eight, rather
loving darkness. The Washington
correspondent is dear friend and
christian brother of ours. We are sure
the intelligent readers of the News
have observed the christian spirit man
ifested by him. also the opposite spirit
of his christian (!). opponent. We all
admire warm christian love, but the
brother with the queer name is just a
little too hot for us. His sentiments
SAVIOR too much of the doctrine he ad-
vocates, but we are glad for his sake
as for that of all poor, fallen humani
ty, that he is mistaken, and that he
will find that our dear heavenly Faith
er. is loving Father, and not the de-
mon He has been represented to be, and
that He has no desire to torment His
poor, fallen creatures. However, we
rejoice in prosecutions, knowing that
"All that will live godly in Christ Je-
sus shall suffer persecution. Thank
ing you again for your courtesy, l am
yours for the Truth.

THE OLD VETERANS
ARE QUESTIONED

n. A Stuart a well-known citizen of
Birmingham and a Confederate veteran,
takes exception to the statement made
in the senate some days ago that every
dollar due the veterans by the state of
Alabama had been paid
Mr.. Stuart states that he has not re-
ceived all that is due him, and intimates
that there are numerous others in the
same boat
In order that data might be gathered
in this connection he has compiled the
following list of questions which he
wishes the veterans of the state to an
swer
l. How much pension money was paid
to you for the year 1907 Did you get the
promised $50? How much is due for 1907?
What you received on the first day of
October 1907, is not to be included in
the amount due you for 1907, because
October l, 1907, was the beginning of
another fiscal year.
2. How much pension money did you
receive from October /, 1907 to Sep
TENDER 80 1908? How much is still due
for 1908?
3. How much pension money has been
paid to you from October l. 1908, to
September 80, 1909? How much Is yet
due for 1909?
Address your letter to me at 1920 Sec
ond avenue, Birmingham.
Will the papers throughout the state
please copy, and thereby confer a great
favor upon all Confederate soldiers, their
sons and daughters. n. A. STUART.

Their MOSTAATS IN
THE CITY SCHOOLS

The Board of Education held meeting
Yesterday morning and considered the ad-
visibility of installing thermostaats in all
the public schools. This is an attach
ment to the heating system which holds
the temperature at the certain point
without variation and prevents the
changes which often cause sickness.
Another meeting will be held this morn
ing to further go over the idea, and 1t Is
probable that at least three of the city
schools will be equipped with them as
an experiment this winter The board
Is using the best heating system made,
and is setting a standard for the future
in this respect.
