 killing Kirby. In fact, Moreau IS the gambler guilty of the sWindllng, Kirby having taken part in the game to protect elder Randall from being

 Moreau and Kirby meet by ap pointment and the former is killed
 Kirby, escaping, springs over bal cony and so through the window into the living room of the Randalls
 There he is mistaken for Colone Moreau, and is so introduced by Miss Randall, and escapes the men who are pursuing him by riding with hel and her friends to the Randall plan tation. Kirby and she fall in love

 from New Orleans on river steam boat, has been made drunk, and in his gambling has lost not only all his money but has deeded his whole

 He is no other than James Richmond McGregor, little ray of sunshine, the optimist of local railroad circles and an aspirant for the position of postmaster general of Pea Ridge. Tenn. And when the White House job Captain McGregor will get that appointment.

He is district passenger agent for that company and carrying that gum shoe business a little further, Fred Miller says he can walk to Kansas City on an omelette fruffle and never bend the crest--if in taking that small bit of exercise he is reasonably sure that some misguided farmer will travel on the Frisco.
 Captain McGregor himself will relate that one time he went after crowd of homeseekers living at the time on Sand Mountain. He made the natives be- lieve he was one of them and whipped all the railroad passenger men on fine bunch bound westward

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rogers Defends Position

To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 | The communication of Messrs. Goodall and Ratliff in this mornings Age-Herald Is one that among the members of the | legal profession would be denomnated a | departure in pleading and reminds me | of an illustration once used by pro- lessor in the law department of George | town university, Washington. D. C., dur | ing the\ of one of his lectures on common law pleading when the subject of | departure was under consideration. "If," said the lecturer, fin his declara- ton plaintiff charged you with having stolen his coat and in your plea you should deny the allegation and plaintiff in his reply by way of replication should say, Well, if you did not steal my coat you stole my paints that would be a departure"
 l In my former communications I have charged that the Anti-Saloon league is endeavoring to stampede the legislature of 1911 into a continuation of the pres- ent uninforced and uninforceable state- wide prohibition law, notwithstanding the fact that said law was repudiated by majority of democratic voters on May ?. 1910, as was evidenced by the insertion of a local option plank in the platform adopted by the democratic state conven-
 ton on May IT. 1910.
 In their "departure,' published this morning, Messrs. Goodall and Ratliff say
 that 'as the newspapers have given 1t out that the democratic state executive
 committee in it's recent executive session
 at Blount Springs decided that said plat
 form did not act as release of nomi-
 nee of the primary from his pledges to his
 constituents to stand for retaining state

BOX CARS BURN AT
 LOSS OF $1O,OOO

Mobile, August 23.-(Special.) at 2:30 o'clock this morning destroyed 16 freight cars standing on Archer track of the Mobile and Ohio railroad shops at Whistler, five miles from Mobile, and badly damaged four others.
 The damage Is estimated at s10,000, with partial insurance.
 It Is the most serious confiagation at Whistler for many years and 1t is due to the heroic work of the Whistler fire department that additional damage was not done. The shop buildings were not endangered except from sparks that were closely watched.
 Officials of the railroad are at loss 10 know what caused the fire. but the theory Is advanced that the cars were ignited by fire started by tramp who intended to sleep near the tracks.

several children to his trains. And in escorting the Captain never neglects to bundle three or four of the little ones under his mighty wing and haul them Into "our magnificent chair cars. which are strictly the best ever"
 With all his originality in securing bns- mess, he pleases the people and Jack Cornatzer of Memphis. He never neg lects to secure all possible trade for his line and in so doing never ruffles one of the other "boys" but handles his part Automatically, suavely and with consum- mate tact.
 He is, as has been noted, little ray of sunshine. It has been known to hap pen that three or four of the local men have been under the weather at the same time As singular as it may seem, they all wandered to the Frisco. Mac puts one over on them and every one laughs. When it comes to spreading good laughs and sunshine Mac is the past grand exalted ruler multiplied by 8. When the winter begins to rumble he hies himself off to a little farm on Pea Ridge, where he hopes to be some day postmaster general. He works, as he says, from Kerosene to kerosene" until he longs for the bright lights and back he comes.

BIT OF
 BIRMINGHAM HISTORY
Fly WALTER HARPER.

Hartford institution to come to Ala bama and select the land that had been donated. In looking over the valley he found the big spring just al the rear of the present Eubanks home at Elyton. Captain Ely pitched his camp here and all the surveys of the land grants were made from this point.
 Tt is said that Captain Ely became very much interested In this section and possibly remained here several years, village sprang up about the camp and Elyton was the result. The place was named for Captain Ely
 The name of Captain Ely appears in the abstracts for most of the land
 in the immediate Birmingham district. The titles all run back to Capt. Will liam Ely, trustee for the Hartford Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb
 "A number of prominent people fol- lowed Captain Ely from Connecticutt. Among the number besides Thomas r.
 Farar was Judge E. Woolsey Peck,
 who was at one time on the supreme court bench of Alabama. Judge Peck was the father of Samuel Minturn Peck, the well known poet of Tuskaloosa.' .'
 By the way, Acting Mayor Harry Jones of Birmingham, by some flight of evident fancied exclusiveness led me to quote him as saying few days ago In an interview that he was the only direct descendant of the great John Sevier, the first governor of Ten | nessee.
 l have just had a call from an at torney representing not less than 900 other direct descendants of John Se- vier residing in Alabama, Tennessee, | Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Florida and Bessemer,' who demand through their attorney, that they be given their rights and proper standing in the community.
 It Is with trembling pleasure that I retract every word of this unfortu- nate statement for which am respon- | sible and return to these 300 aggrieved people the ancestral glory that belongs to them
 Harry Jones did not intend to claim all this glory. Indeed there Is enough | to go round even to 500 great great grandchildren of so great man. | Gov. John Sevier had 13 children and | they all had large families. Their chil- drens children are scattered from tho Atlantic to the Pacific raising other | large families of good and progressive citizens.
