LIFE COMPANY TAKEN OVER.
Insurance Department of New York
 Controls Peoples Mutual.

Syracuse, N. r., January 1S.-In the su- preme court today Justice w. R. Andrews granted the application of the state in- surance department to take over the Peoples Mutual Life association.
 In his decision Judge Andrews said there was no serious dispute, that John Tsvis of Louisville. Ky, paid t15o.0Oo to directors to secure control of the Peo- pls's Mutual He said 1t had not been ex- plained why deposit of s150.ooo was made in the Farmers Bank of Toronto. Ont. The directors, he declared, had no right. legal or moral. to sell control of the company. The state department had in- formed him, he said. that if it was shown to be to the advantage of the members of the association to continue 1t, that course would be followed. He believes the members will be better protected by the department in control than by the present officers
 The grand jury is engaged in probing tho entire transaction in the transfer of control to John Tevis. The evidence taken by the department, including the testi- mony given by Tevfs and w. R. Travsrs, has been submitted for It's consideration.

 Burr Ferguson Relates An Episode of Shades Valley
BY DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

With the wonderful strides that have made our town, Greater Birmingham" every inch of Shades valley and vicinity holds an interesting bit of history in it's half is cordially received by the people of this magic town. Of course, 1t is under- stood that these columns are at all times open to its readers for the expression of their opinion on subjects of interest and it was quite gratifying a few days since to find on my desk a line which have labeled "Yesterday-A Retrospect" from the clever pen of one of our sterl- ing young citizens, MT. Burr Ferguson, and which I think quite worthy of publi- cation, since it throws a pretty glamor, as well as practical suggestion of an in dustry near this community, which Is none the less important merely because it is not as great as iron and steel, from which the district of Greater Birmingham has earned it's worldwide reputation.
 MT. Ferguson says:
 Yesterday is not word in common use in the busy whirl of Birmingham and environs. The dominant note of the com- munity is today so to work and plan in its course that tomorrow may be fruit ful and bear an abundant return for the work of the present.
 '"rhose good memories of the~days that used to be go back to the old settled communities from whence We come, to the rolling meadows of Tennessee, to some of the comfortable looking old towns of Georgia, with the stately rows of old oaks on either side of the street, the old houses of historic Charleston and it's atmosphere of the past.
 "The memories of others of us go back to the cheering thousands of Imp's sub urban, eh, what? There are yesterdays in many parts of the world for us as community, but these roads of memory all lead us to these many different climes and places.
 The yesterday of Birmingham is work and toll and sweat, to work out the prom ise made each of us by the stores Of things in the hills that the world needs. And in that good tomorrow when the Panama canal is done, when we have our own canal to the Warrior. and the mar- kets of the world at our door, then will the harvest of our part of the worlds gold make up for that which we miss, when we have time and give those of an- other generation yesterday filled with pleasant memories
 within four miles of the Empire build ing, that last cry in steel and brick con struction of the town. there are evil dences of a yesterday of many years ago.
 A quarter of a milo from one of the modern macadamized roads of Shades valley the writer by chance recently found a bit of land rolling and fertile looking, evidences of old furrows, the ground covered with grass which only comes here after the ground has been cultivated.

The owner of all this was working about a pile of black 1oam, from which tho smoke which we had first seen was com- ing. On inquirfy it developed that this was a charcoal pit, charcoal for the Birmingham market
 The burner was born on this place some 60 years ago. His yesterday is one of the old farm--the creek bottom of which used to give up some 70 bush- els of corn to the acre and the meadow land two tons of clover, 500 goats In the herd on the hills, the great fishing in the creek, two-pound speckled trout and perch without number. Being from one memory of which goes back some two or three times the 60 years of this spot. allowance made for-shall it be poetic license or just plain tales?
 The developments following the far sighted view of MT. Morriss, MT. Gala well, MT. Powell and others made 0 town in Jones valley which would use charcoal so the farm with it's many details or work was gradually let go. the fertile fields grew up in grass and underbrush and following the tendency of the age, the old farmer became a specialist in charcoal for that appeared the easiest way.
 He cuts the old pine tree in 10 or 12-foot hillets from cord of which he gets some 80 bushels of charcoal, for which is found a ready market in Bir- mingham
 ''The lonely abandoned farm with its charcoal pit made an interesting quar- ter of an hour, but the reflections fol- lowing of the change which had come on the old farm from it's well-tilled fields, with It's herds of goats and cattle, to the pit of today, brought with them the thought that even progress and i'm provement do not distribute their force altogether equally and that under the best of conditions some get the worst of it.

MORE FORTUNATE HERE.

That the railroad service in the
south is not up to the standard that
prevails in the progressive west is in
dictated by the following paragraph
from the Atlanta Constitution:
Because he could not reach a de-
pot agent in time to exchange his mile
age for ticket, a commercial travel
e. was the other day elected from a
train near Macon.
The interesting feature is that this
instance parallels identically the case
in North Carolina upon which a COM
mercial traveller sued the carrier and
secured a verdict confirming damag-
ei from the supreme court
The railroads in this part of the
country require that owners of mile
age books exchange mileage for tick
cts before boarding trains. Other
railroads in other parts of the country
see no necessity for a fool regulation
of this kind-but that's another ques-
ton.
In the case cited from Macon, the
drummer sought to comply with the
rule, but so great was the crowd at
the window that the agent did not,
according to witnesses. succeed in get
ting to the drummer before the arriv-
al Of the train.
when the train auditor demanded
a ticket, the drummer explained the
circumstances and proffered his mile
age book. The tender was refused.
and over his protest he was elected
from the train"
Out in the west people have COM
plants regarding the railroad service
too at times. But it is to the credit
Of the western roads that they have
no such rules as this in vogue. Mile
/ age books are always good on western
roads. Our main complaint is that
trains are late-but then of course
that is the fault of people farther east.
