The names Of two negro servants,

them A. though they were Confederate
soldiers. General william G. Oates,
who 10 commissioner. named by the
President, to locate the graves and
mark the graves OF Confederate sol

nounces that he has discovered the

Solomon r.ittiston was Mississipp,
negro captured with his master. Henry
Mayo was Virginia negro capturea
with his master. Both died In prison
at Camp Morton. To them the honors
that are paid to dead soldiers win be
paid to thsm.
General Oates says Of the devotion
paid the masters by Southern serv-
ants:
Some OF the rarest instances Of the
devotion of the slaves to their owners
occurred during the civil war. The
system OF slavery had It's faults and
its exceiiencies. No man had the right
to own thu fiesii. blood and soul os
another and such was not the slavery
system. The owner only owned the
right to control and direct HIS labor
and In return therefor owed his slave
food and clothing and medical Atten.
tion In case OF sickness. These were
the outlines. yohn Brown and his
class Of rabid aboiitionists thought
that when tho. war between the Union
and the confedsracy began that the
negro slaves would rise IN insurrec-
ton and wage a war OF determination
OF their white masters. Nothing or
the kind was attempted In q single IN
stance. On the contrary they remain
ed at home and made supplies for our
armies In the field until II produced
the beiief on the part OF the Lincoln
administration that the south could
never be suodued until slavery could
be removed as the chief support Of the

INVESTIGATE PUMP
COUNCIL COMMITTEE RETURNS
FROM ITS TRIP.


The committee Of investigation from
Montgomery that went to Albany and
Coiurn bus, Ga, to look at the electri-
caily driven pump OF the waterworks
of that city, have returned to Mont
Eomery and seem very much Interested
In what they saw. The entire Water
works Committee OF the City Council
went on the trip, accompanied by r.
J. Chambers. Of the Montgomery Light
and water Power Company, Alderman
Saul, and electric engineers OF several
companies interested In the installation
Of electric machinery in the MontBom-
cry pumping station.
The fact that the pump in Columbus
has been run for three years without
needing any repair. and the neatness
and compactness of the plant. i'm
pressed the men from Montgomery
very much. AS yet they have not pre-
pared their report, that will be made
TO the City Council. probably Monday
night, but the general impression
among them seems to be In favor OF
an electric pump for this city.
There seems 20 be but one obstacle
In the way OF the innovation at the
pump house. and that Is the compressed
cir lift, for the Rrtsslan wells. It is
said that the air pump suggested as
not costing more than a few thousand
dollars. will only lift 100000 gallons
Of water day. and an air lift. 20 fur
nish the pump a capacity OF 5000 o0O
gallons day. will cost a considerable
sum. But on this matter. too, nothing
definite has been given out, but those
In favor Of the new pump say the mat
ter can be arranged.

NEW TAX DEED FORM
WILL ELIMINATE UNCERTAINTY AS
TO PURCHASES.
Il 10 Being Prepared BY III. X. white
Of Btrmin9ham, Subject 20 the
Approval Of the AttoR-
ney General.

For the purpose OF eliminating the
uncertainty which has heretofore been
attached to purchases OF property ut
tag sales. and 10 protect the purcssas-
era upon such occasions, O new form OF
tax deed II being compiled By n. X.
White. Of Birmingham, subject to the
approval OF Attorney General CARRIER.
For the past twenty years. the form
OF deeds which have been used TO re-
cord the transfer Of property at tax
sales, has been vague--so vague that
none OF the legal steps effecting the
sransfer have been set forth. and II has
grown TO be exceedingly dinicuit for
the purchaser to retain the property,
he has thus acquired, when the orig
.nai owner contests the sale In courts
Of law.
BY the new form. however, 1t 10
thought that ezsry requirement which
must be fri..ied before the property
whose ssxes are In arrears can be sold,
or san be bought by others. viii be set
teeth. so that the buyer. by the pres4
entation Of the deed. will show prima
facIe evidence that he has complied
with every provision.
OF late II has grown that the tax
sales are treated with contempt In
many instances, because II has been
well nigh impossible for the purchaser
20 prove. by the insufficient record OF
hts deed. that he has rightfully ac-
auirsd the property. and. upon litiga-
ton, has been deprived OF II. The new
tax deeds. 1t Is thought, Will eliminate
the danger to the purchasers title.
The deed AZ drafted by Mr.. White.
has already been approved by Asaist-
ant Atto.Sey General T. w. Martin.
and II meeting tho approval OF Mr..
CARRIER, will DO hereafter used In the
stead OF the old form. The old form
was the same for sales Of property as
sessed by tho owner, and OF property
assessed to owners unknown. BY the
new form, different deeds are to be
used. FOR the two classes Of assess-
ment.
