". N. HAMES DIES
 AT JACKSONVILLE

Jacksonville. February S.-(Special.) Capt William M. Flames. Jacksonville's
 oldest and most beloved citizen, died illness of several weeks His death was
 due to an attack of heart trouble with which Captain flames had been i'll for some time. He has suffered several at tacks within the last few years, but the last one came about a week ago
 and resulted in his death this morn | ing.
 l He was born in Georgia in 1920 and
 removed to Macon county. Alabama, in 1S44, and>to Calhoun county in 1S4S. He read law and was admitted to the bar in Jacksonville in 1855 and built up
 for himself a reputation as brilliant
 and successful lawyer. Early in 1861 he entered the Second Alabama state troops as first lieutenant and later
 became captain of Company A, Sec
 ond Alabama regiment. After this com pany was disbanded at Fort Pillow he
 returned home, reorganized his com
 pany and joined the Fifty first Alabama
 cavalry as captain.
 In 1S57-S he was assistant clerk of the
  state legislature and in 1S63-4 was elected
 a. member of that body. In 1875 he was a
 delegate to the constitutional convention
 and took an active part in its delibera- lstions.
 Ever since the establishment of the Jacksonville State Normal school, Cap-
 tain flames has been president of the board of directors, and did great work for the school. It is rare to find one at so advanced age possessing such mental and physical activity as did Captain flames. Though forced to lead a quiet and re- tired life for some time on account of his
 declining years and failing strength. ho l still took deep interest in all affairs and never failed to get some needed | daily exercise. His was a sweet, gentle | spirit, which, coupled with a philosoph- | ical mind and clear conscience, made his | last years pleasure to him and those | with whom he came in contact. | His influence and example will be felt | many years to come.
 | Besides a widow he leaves three sons, Eev. L. G. flames, John N. flames and | William Flames; two daughters, Mrs. Liz zie Cason of Atlanta and Mrs. E. B. Blackmore of Jacksonville. The funeral | services will be in charge of the Masons and will be conducted by the Rev. R. T. | Liston at the Presbyterian church, of which Captain Flames was a consistent
 members, Thursday afternoon at 2 | o'clock. Interment will be at the Jack sonville cemetery. Out of respect to him as president of the board of directors, the State Normal school will be dismissed
 for the entire day and the faculty and
 students will march in body to the | funeral

No one man in the Birmingham district can comprehend the vast amount of de- velopment that is in progress in this city and section ao any one time. We may take cognizance of the improvements that are going on in our respective haunts and even that has become commonplace to Host~ of Us.
 The man who lives in Woodlawn and comes into the city every morning to his work may notice the new residences and business blocks that are going up on the route, but after while he forgets to mo- tice them He knows nothing of what is being done at North Birmingham, Ensley, along the South Highlands. at Corey and in the other outlying sections.
 To see and inspect it all would consume weeks and weeks, and before he got round new enterprises would have sprung up in his wake.

BROWNS DEATH
 ACCOUNTED FOR
ANNIsTON ELECTRICIAN KILLED BY EXTRA VOLTAGE CAUSED BY CROSSED WIREs-FARM SPECIAL- IST IN ANNIsTON

] Anniston, February S.-(Special) J. The officials of the Anniston Electric
 and Gas company, who were at first
 unable to account for the death of | George D. Brown. the electrician who was electrocuted while at his work yesterday morning, stated today that
 death was due to the fact that the primary wire had been crossed by a telephone wire
 The two wires were strung on the same line and it is considered that the
 telephone wire became entangled with
 the light wire during the storm last Friday evening, this being the first | time that the lamp had been cleaned since that date. The foul brought the voltage up to 2300 and it is said that the deceased was knocked several feet.
 He was standing damp spot when
 the current was received and this is
 said to have intensified the shock. George D. Brown was about 55 years
 of age and is survived by a widow
 and a daughter, Mrs. Bertie Hardie.
 He was known to nearly every man in Anniston, and his work is mentioned III very dppTeCldllNe l6TI1S Dy uhdH-
 ager R. l.. Rand and Assistant Man
 ager W. F. Johnston. The funeral and interment will take place Thursday,
 the body being laid at rest at Edge
 mont cemetery.
 J. Roland Turner. former agent for the government demonstration work at this place, now in charge of the farm
 of the Sycamore Mills company at Syca- more, was in Anniston today. MT. Tur- ner says that he is making rapid prog ress in his new work and is conducting
 the mill farm on strictly scientific lines.
 Plans are being made by the An
 niston fire department to hold a big celebration on February 22 in commem- oration of the organization of the first company in this city. The Glen Addie firemen, one of the youngest but live Hest companies in the city, have taken the initiative in this step. They have
 secured the cooperation of Chief Rain
 water and the matter will be brought
 before the other companies of the city at early meetings.
 Capt w. M. flames death was re-
 ceived in this city with intense sor-
 row, for in the county seat no man in
 Calhoun county numbered a larger friendship. Honorary pallbearers will go from here as representatives of the Cal houn County Bar association.

 Che immediate result would be that food in England would cost more. Was the government. he asked, taking steps to se- cure for British manufacturers the same right of entry to the markets of the United States which the Canadian minis ters were securing for Canadian goods? Mir. Chamberlain added that the agree ment would have far-reaching effects, not only upon the Dominion, but upon the whole empire, and particularly upon the relations which had prevailed up to the present time between Canada and the United Kingdom.

There was a freight wreck during
the afternoon at the switch near
Glendale, right at a bridge across a
small stream. Two of the cars were
thrown from the track and the track
was badly torn up for some distance,
and all trains on that line were de-
layed for several hours. The road
was in shape for the trains to get
through at 1890 and No. 2 was sew
en- hours late in getting here.
The Sheffield accommodation was
also delayed about two hours, reach
ing here at Z o'clock The trouble
was caused by damage to the track
down near Sheffield.
All trains going into Nashville
from almost every section were de-
layed from one to ten hours. Ccnsid-
cradle damage was done toward the
weakening of bridges and fills, and
the railroad companies are busy
strengthening them today.

STILL KILLING
HOGS IN MAURY
SOME FEAR is ENTERTAINED
FOR THE MEAT THAT HAS
BEEN PACKED RECENTLY

With the coming of the cold wealth
er hog killing is again under way in
Maury county. A large number are
being slaughtered today. A good
deal of anxiety is being felt about
the meat that has been packed this
year, especially that killed during the
past two weeks. The rain and warm
weather, it is feared, will make more
than usually difficult to save the
meat. E. N. Woolard, the largest
packer in the county, is taking up a
good deal of his meat and exposing
it to the cold. This will be resalted
and re-packed. Some who killed last
week have never packed their meat
down and are doing so today.
1t is probable that there will be
more hogs packed in the county this
year than there have been in several
years. The low price of hogs has
stimulated the business, and the
packers express confidence in their
ability to make money this year. Ev-
cry one is looking for a rise in the
price of hogs before another season
comes and when the price does go
up the packers will be the chief ben
eficiaries 1t is impossible to get
anything like a correct estimate OF
the value of the hogs killed in this
county during the year, for the reas-
on that the thousands that are butch
cred and packed for home use can
not be calculated There are a num-
be rof big commercial packers who
kill all the way from 100 to 1000 hogs
but the aggregate of the hogs killed
by them would probably not be equal
to the total that are killed by the
farmers for strictly home use.
