 Two of the most notable results of the
 work of the bureau were the conviction
 of John R. Walsh and Charles w. Morse
 The bureau is no respecter of persons. It
 is devoid of politics. No man gets posi-
 tion as a special agent through the po-
 liticaf recommendat on of any man or pol
 itiean. The politics Of the special agent
 as a rule is not known even in the bu-
 reau. I am told that some of its best
 men are democrats. The question is never
 asked. . Chief Finch wants men that can get re- suits and especially men that will play
 no favorites either in politics, society or race.
 One of the notable cases recently put through by the bureau was the closing of hundred or more bucket shops in a dozen or more of the large cities of the country. The raids were all timed so as to come off at the same moment so that there was no possibility of general alarm. Some of the operators are now serving time in the federal prisons. One of the more recent cases of note was the arrest and conviction of Edward Bertram Lee, paymaster's clerk on the

Walking along Twentieth street in Bir- mingham or on the bouevards of Paris they attract no attention. They fit them selves to their immediate surroundings and never obtrude themselves anywhere. There is never any display of authority, they talk only when necessary and go in public only when business calls them.
 They are selected from the ordinary walks of life and from almost all profess sions Many of them are ex-newspaper men with strong instinct for investiga- tion Some are lawyers. All of them are required to know something of law and the rights of the citizen. Graduates of Harvard, Yale, Princeton and other high institutions of learning always get first consideration when recruits are needed in the bureau. The service is made up of level headed, well poised young men of education and polish.
 They are detectives in the truest sense of the word, but there is none of the "Ish," old Sleuth, heavy browed and dis guised rot of the old time detective. The B. I's never use disguise unless it is simply to change dress.

GADSDEN MAY HAVE
 BRICK TILE PLANT
Federal Court AdjOurns. Water Works System
 Nears Completion

Gadsden. August 31.-(SpeciaD.-Mu interest has been aroused by a report that a sl OOO,oOO brick and tile plant is to be located at Reeds mill, on the Etowah Calhoun county line, 10 miles from Gads- den. The report was confirmed by j. J. Willett, an Anniston attorney, who said over long distance telephone that a com- pany is being formed. He stated how ever, that he is unable to give any of the details as he is attorney for the com pany and not authorized to talk.
 He intimated, however, that the capital would not be so great as reported, but admitted that land has been purchased for the plant The shale and clay found around Reeds mill will used in the man ufacture of the brike and tile. There is a great demand for both products here. F. B. Fisk of New York, is one of the parties interested in the new concern.
 Federal court adjourned last night. There are about 30 cases on the criminal docket which were not disposed of at this term, among the number being that of E. C. Drew, charged with using the mails to defraud. In the case of Mrs Lucia Clark vs. the Rome Garage com- pany of Rome, Ga, a judgment in the sum of $1000 was granted the plaintiff for personal injuries. decision in favor of the defendant was handed down in the case of Mrs. Lawrence. wife of Taylor Lawrence, deceased, against the Southern railroad for the death of MT. Lawrence who was run down and killed by train.
 There has been slight delay in the completion of the new waterworks plant owing to the fact that some material did not arrive on time. 1t was intended to turn water into the mains from the new plant today, but 1t will be Monday before this is done.
 The action of the Nashville Chatta- nooga and St. Louis railroad in refusing to operate a Sunday train between Gads- den and Guntersvile is disappointing. The fact that the road has sued out writ of injunction, restraining the railroad commission from enforcing the order to run the train, has caused considerable in dignation.

divine decree had gone forth and the
heart of the nation responded.
The south was affected equally with
the north. Virginia and North Caro-

was no middle ground. He who was
not for the nation was against it. On
April II Virginia went out of the
Union. Tennessee and Arkansas would
probably have joined the cotton states
anyway. although there was con-
siderable Union population in the
mountain section of Tennessee. These,
with Virginia and North Carolina,
made up the eleven states that finally
constituted the rebellion.
Fighting For the Border States.
There then began a struggle for the
border states. which in one sense was
altogether the most important develop

north was the victor. Had the result
been different there might have been
another outcome to the war. The story
of the holding of Missouri, Kentucky
and Maryland and of the cutting off
of West Virginia is of thrilling in
