Old Bill Shift1ess was sitting on a
box watching a game of horseshoe
very inJently. Old Bill was in an I'M
usual mood. Generally Old Bill is
talking all the time when a game is
going on. He considers himself an
authority on the game and is always
giving the Fingers advice on how to
throw this shoe and that one. But
Old Bill had nothing TO say today.
He was in a deep study and kept
watching the peg all the time. Cy
Hoskins threw two shoes Each one
hit the peg square on top and bounc-
ed-away four feet and the other made
two points without half trying.
Nv hats the matter, Bill?' said one
of the spectators, 'shave you forgot
how to talk?a mo, L amt forgot

If the home merchant, instead of

knocking into an honest, legitimate
effort to meet mail order competition
there would not be so much money

constantly before US, so that we know
just where to send for what we want

MEETING IS HELD
 BY CAMP HARDEE

The Confederate Veterans of Camp Har- dee held an interesting meeting yester- day afternoon in the Chamber of Com merce building. Commander N. A. Gra- ham presided. The main feature of the afternoons session was the telling of campaign stories by members of the camp.
 w. l. Milner, one of the most beloved members of the camp, related the story of the death of two of his comrades who were killed by his side. One of them they were compelled to leave on the pick ct line to die alone. The others death was pathetic and tender. He a mere youth, died with the question on his lips, What will become of mother?" J. r Mclaughlin told of receiving a wound at the Crater and of having in his posses sion the bullet with which he was shot. w E. Yancey, Rev. F. A. Wright, the chaplain. of the camp, and others made entertaining talks
 Judge J. T. Garrettson, w. J. Milner Dr. J. C. Abernethy and Commander N A. Graham will draw up resolutions for the next meeting of the camp on the death of General Gordon, late command CT of the Confederate Veterans.

out reilling the water towers or wash bins.
 The process renders the coal thoroughly clean and the remixing serves to enhance the value of the washed product.
 The electric powerhouse at the washer is the most complete yet erected in the district, being of enormous power and that plant furnishes light and power for the entire covey of camps.
 The power is conveyed to Acmar over poles of fine construction and to the houses m the same way.
 The camp and living environments are inspiring The homes of the white miners are pitched upon high hill, constructed Of fine quality of timbers and of sood clean, cool dimensions. A ravne intea- venes and then come the houses of inc officials, including that of Henry De- Barde1eben, who stays at the mines con stanty and whose family occupies an at tractive bungalow; the superintendent, the doctor and the timekeepers. The cottages are equipped with every comfort On an- other hill are the homes of the negroes, where every care Is exercised to make things comfortable and pleasant.
 The company has constructed about 125 houses, a large commissary and carried 10 completion a vast amount of work in IS months. The settlement has a school house, churches, lodge rooms and every at traction for the dwellers at coal mining settlements,
 The property is owned by Brown Fowlkes Coal company and the estate of Colonel DeBardeeben, with a contract for many years with the Alabama Fuel and Iron company as the operating company. The directors of the latter company in- clude several New Workers, some of whom were here to look over the properties sev- eral months ago.
 With great many more miners and other labor that Charles DeBard eleben and Henry DeBardeleben say are needed at Acmar, and with the mines running full time and with another slope or two In operation, and with the magnificent wash ing process at Acmar, it is not far fetched to anticipate that the company will make marvellous strides in the development of this district
