LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Reverence the Past

To the Editor of The Age-H Herald:
 A reverence for the past-the achieve ments of ancestors-has characterized all nations. The absence of this sentiment embodied in action would be a lamentable characteristic of the present day. Some suggest the doing away of the 18th day of January-Gen. R. E. Lees birthday as Legal Holiday" Why? Because the young do not attend the services that remind us of that event. What sugges- tion What sad comment upon the spirit of loyalty. devotion. to all that is true and manly It is not true, however. that this glorious day was not observed? !? Could they have heard the addresses of Gen. F. s. Ferguson and Gov. William H. Sims at Cable hall they would have seen that the love of principle is more noble than the pursuit of gain.
 The last address made by Gen. John B. Gordon to the veterans assembled in re- union was in New Orleans. he was sick In closing this memorable speech he said: eComrades want you to build mouu- rent to the women of the south. They don't want 1t, but we want them to have it." South Carolina was the first to re- spond to the appeal. Now comes Mis- sissippi Let the entire south honor those who were helpful and true to us. It is a small reward but shows our gratitude.

lined up in readiness for the presiden- tial campaign of 1912. and the early lining up is due to our renewed zeal for Pres- ident Taft. Somehow there has been aI- most an amazing increase of sentiment for his renomination. and I can ascribe 1t to his sensible, modest way of actually doing things without any superfluous fuss.
 Gov J. Y. Sanders of Louisiana. who is here in connection with the Panama Canal exposition contest, when asked in regard to the development of swamp
 lande and other soils: T cannot see what the people who go to Canada to estab- fish homes are thinking of. Thousands of them have gone to that country, each taking along on an average of 5000. These men, if they only knew it. can get land in Louisiana at any time and at all
 most any terms, and land that would pay for itself within a short time. too. With us, a farmer can grow crops the year round. whereas north of the bor- der he must work six months to get enough to last the other six. On account of the health-g giving breezes from the gulf, the mortality rate among the whites is low in Louisiana
 Our school system is splendid and is getting better every year. A hearty well come awaits all who will come and cast their lot with us. Tn addition to the lands in the low-lying marshes, We have
 millions of acres of higher ground that is ready for the blow without the neces- sity of drainage. These lands arc, of course, higher in price than those in the
 marshes and are probably not as fertile.
 The fact is that it is almost impossible for man to make mistake by investing in land anywhere in Louisiana at the present time"

RUTH GREY HERE
 FOR ANOTHER WEEK

Due to the fact that the limited time prevented the answering of thousands of questions by Miss Ruth Grey at the Or pheum theatre last week, the manage ment succeeded in arranging for her to remain another week, and she will bo seen here all this week with daily mati- nees commencing tomorrow afternoon, and nightly performances commencing to- morrow night.
 The matinees Wednesday and Friday will be for ladies only, and seats for them may be engaged in advance. There will probably be large demand for tickets for these two performances as the experi- ence of last week demonstrated that hurl- dreds of ladies will patronize a perform ance especially for them and ask ques- tlons when they would not do so in . mixed audience.
 Miss Grey will be assisted by Bressie Bell. In order that Miss Grey might re- main in Birmingham another week at the Orpheum an engagement in Knoxville was canceled, but the management felt fully warranted in taking such action, in view of the great demand for longer time in Birmingham.
 There will be a matinee every after noon and a performance every night at the Orpheum.
