Statement nv Mr.. MOntoOmer-

Marshall Montgomery, administra-
tor of the Levi J. Walbridge estate,
states that the paragraph in last
weeks issue regarding the settlement
of said estate was incorrect in several
of it's statements. 1t is true that
Mrs. S. G. Voodry and some of the
other heirs are contending against
the acceptance by the probate court
of his report in the case, but the ad-
ministrator says there is no good
ground for such opposition. The
property of the L. J. WaIbridge es-
tate was appraised by the appraisers
at $12, $3.50. In addition to the
inventoried property, there were the
book accounts, and some insurance
money due the intestate. The admin
istrator has collected from all sources
$1987.S3. He has paid debts al
lowed by the commissioners, to the
amount of $4,000, fees of court,
monument and funeral expenses,
taxes and insurance, expenses of fam
lily and farm, administrator expen-
ses, ETC., $1,751.43, and to the heirs
$4,000, leaving a balance on hand to
be divided among the heirs upon
settlement of the estate.

Suicide in Southeast Alabama

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
The recent notice in your columns
of four suicidal attempts made by a
w. J. Lord in southeastern Alabama
seems to have been we'll circulated
throughout this and adjoining states
and always with the statement that
he was "a leader of the Christian
Science cult" Since there is no Chris
tian Science organization in his county
or those adjoining, since the Chris
tian Scientists of Alabama have not
heard of any one in that neighborhood
who was interested in the subject of
Christian Science, and since his actions
and the expressions ascribed to him
are entirely contrary to the ideas which
aetuate the lives of Christian Scientists
1t follows that the claim of his being
Christian Scientist lacks foundation
Moreover, the writer sent several let.
ters to that part of the country in
curing into the affair and the man
ana no response whatever has been
elected. In the light of these facts the
entire story has a very doubtful look.
If true, it would naturally throw dis
but the fears and the actions ascribed
to this Mr.. w. ]. Lord Nf there be such
person., and his superstitious dread
OF the comet, prove beyond doubt that
he understands nothing of its teach
ings. AS this discredit has been cast
on the name of Christian Science, there
by obscuring In the minds of the public
any true conception thereof, l ask your
courteous permission to say just a few
words on the point.
Suicidal actions or attempts are cor
rectly ascribed either to an abnormal
state of mind or actual insanity-per-
version of the right state of mind-but
when person begins to perceive the
meaning of Christian Science and APP
plies 1t to his thinking and consequent
living, he begins to be less fearful less
abnormal, even in trying human ex-
periences This tends to remove con-
fusion and perplexity from his mind
and enables him to destroy the sense
of anger, hate, resentment, despond-
ency, all of which tend to create fear
With this freedom, calmer, saner
sense shows him that he does not
escape trouble by mere death, and also
shows how to overcome evil with
good" This injunction of the Apostle
Paul points to the only logical way OF
Kidding ourselves of trouble. The prob
lem with each one is how to overcome
or destroy the evil sense. We are learn
ing how to do this in the light and
wholesome influence of Christian

charges to prefer against Mr.. Steele

firmation was not based on any charge

Refrigernting Plant VIII

1t was announced last night that ground
for the erection of the Louisville and
Nashville shops at Boyles would be
broken during the forthcoming week.
The shops when completed will repre-
sent an official expenditure of sess,o0o,
but the final cost will be near the 1000
mark.
The delay on the shop work has been
caused by the inability of the engineers to
determine whether it would be best to
grade the shop site to the level of the
present tracks or raise the level. 1t was
stated that this question has been salts
factoriy settled and that nothing now
stands in the way.
The shops will have attached to them an
individual electric plant which will be
one of the most modern of its kind in the
country. 1t is planned to transmit the
power from this plant to Birmingham
and use it for the illumination of the local
passenger station. freight house, yards.
freight terminals and other company
buildings and property. The electric plant

lures.
A refrigerating plant for the icing of
perishable cargoes in transit will be pro-
vided for.
The mechanical equipment of the shops
will include an electrically operated troll
ley system, which will convey machinery
from one point in the shops and yards
to another. thus obviating the present
method of transportation by engines and
hand. The Louisville and Nashville Off
GERS state that East st. Louis only will
have a better shop and equipment than
Birmingham.
The beginning of the work which was
first announced last fall will be the source
of uninterrupted employment to a large
force of workmen. When completed the
employees will outnumber any shop on the
Louisville and Nashville system, with one
or two exceptions
All car repairs from New Orleans to De-
catur will be made at this shop. As
consequence a great amount of material.
