GOV. HOOPER HERE l ON BUSINESS ONLY \ Characterizes Story FrOm|
 Nashville as Absurd CALLS ON THOMPSON Says He Has Enough Politics al Home Without Pitching Into
 Affairs in Neighbor-
 ing State

Characterizing a report that he wa seeking refuge in Alabama for an purpose as absurd and unworthy O being denied. Gov. Ben w. Hoope of Tennessee reached Birmingham yesJ terday
 He said in a formal interview thal he came to Birmingham on pe-snna business and that Birmingham was good place to visit anyway.
 Governor Hooper emphasized his un willingness to discuss any politica questions here saying that he had sui ficient trouble and politics at hom without entering a neignboring stat and pitching into a proposition witt which he was wholly unfamiliar.
 He declined most emphatically t. make any statements about the blini tiger, prohibition or any liquor ques ton except in the shape of a writer formal declaration which he said he dit not relish doing.

 Governor Hooper, who is an ardent prohibitionist. was interested yesterday| in the Texas election and evidenced some interest in the local situation. He| was an interested listener to accounts| of the tide turning in this state for| high class regulated saloons
 During yesterday morning Governor| Hooper called upon Joseph O. Thomp-| son, collector of internal revenue, and the two held long informal convert sation. He lunched at the home of MT. Thompson and was the guest of friends for dinner
 The Tennessee executive said he, would be here looking into his perl sonal affairs perhaps 10 days and thatI he would return to Nashville. He saidI he had made no mistake in choosinsI Birmingham as a summer resort.
 His formal statement follows:
 NO political significance attaches toI my visit to Birmingham. There isl enough politics in Tennessee without| going out of the state to hunt for it.I
 q have owned real estate in you-| city for several years and have comeI here two or three times year to look| after it. This is my business now.
 No, I am not invited here to partict-| pate in the prohibition campaign; Il could not add anything to the sum of public knowledge on that subject.

UNIQUE MUSICAL WAR

all corners and does not draw tne color line.
 But like the "refined singing and talk ing artists, human lungs, even though copper lined and encased in black and brawney chests, again proved inefficient and they quit in disgust while the gigantic music box continued it's monotonous grind without even batting an eye.
 Then it was that the authority of the law was invoked and a charge If disor- derly conduct preferred against either the Majestic theatre, the archestrion above mentioned, or the manager of the cozy little theatre-at the present writ ing 1t is hard to determine which.
 When the case was called in the police court yesterday morning the manager of the Air Dome and several witnesses tes- tified to the fact that when Miss Flossis of curly blond hair and twinkling toes att tempted to sing the classic selection, "Ill Be Your Sweetheart If You'll Be Mine," the mechanical nemesis blasted out the brazen tones of the joyous widow waltz, putting Miss Flossie's artistic efforts in a class with the moving picture plays, where the motions are seen but the sounds not heard.
 The manager of the Majestic testified in defense that the same orchestrian had been playing the same airs in the same place for many months and that instead of complaints the neghbors all around enjoyed the music that hoated on the evening air. so much so that he had re- trained from even changing the selec- tions that had done service so faithfully and well
 Judge Black listened to the testimony, but was not satisfied as to who, what. or which was guilty of the alleged dis orderly conduct, and as neither the Ma jestic or the mechanical rival of Sousa's band was In court, he decided like Mahomet, that, as the mountain would not come to him, he would go to the mountain and continued the case until Tuesday for personal investigation.
 And let it be known to all men by these presents: That Judge Black Is quite connoisseur of music, whether 1t be rem dered by dainty maid in cozy paror or by finished artists on theatre stage, but his opinion on canned music in the open Is yet to be decided

Letters to the Editor
While I Live

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 Time is fleeting, the young ere long will be old. When we gaze in wonder and admiration at youth we are stern ly and forcibly reminded that the proud form, so stately and erect, will soon be stopped; the eyes with vision so acute will soon lose their luster and be dimmed; the rosy cheeks which are the synonym of health and vitality will soon fade; the beautiful hair as black as raven that graces the proud, stately form will soon be as white as the driven snow, the frosts of many winters having woven their silvery veil over the head. Time will plough deep furrows in the cheeks; the ex- pression so animating and captivating will be changed, the voice so gentle, mellow. sweet and persuasive will as- sume a different tone.
 If you have one true, faithful, con stant, devoted ardent and sincere friend who is constantly solicitous about your welfare through sunshine and shadow sorrow and joy; prosperity and adver- sity; whether you are at home or abroad on the land or on the sea, among strangers or friends, you have every reason to be infinitely happy.
 We never know how dear to us Is the sound we love so well, how musi- cal It. is until the stiffness of the air has been broken by its last echo. Did you ever hear the sweet strains or music in the distance-far away? You knew it was beautiful, entrancing, but it's sweet melodies died forever before you could fully appreciate its sub limity You would give all the world to hear it once again, but-too late.
 We go. out in the early morning to admire the lovely flowers, the rose attracts our special attention; we see the dewdrop with. It's variegated hues as it seems to be placidly and tran quilly' nestling on its peaceful yet cheerful bosom. We are attracted just for moment by the song of happy, greeful bird; we turn again to admire the rose and its companion-the dew drop-but it's gone Such Is life. How transient. If I am worthy of any love or admiration: Love me while I live.

 The filing of the mortgage here in dicates very strongly that the finan- cial powers behind the Tidewater prop osition are of strong backing and that the line will doubtless be finished as planned by J. M. Dewberry of this city, who conceived the idea of the line.

TWO ARE DEAD AT CAVOUR.
Hess Building Burned and Man and
Boy Perish.

In fire which destroyed the hotel
of Frank Hess at Cavour, late Wednes-
day night, the little SON of the proprls-
tor, aged eight years, and an unknown
man were burned to death. The hotel
was burned to the ground, entailing a
loss of So, 500.
The little boy and the man. who was
guest at the house, were sleeping In
rooms in part of the building which
was quickly enveloped in flames and 1t
was impossible to rescue them.
A. c. Luthey, clerk of the town OF
Caswell, was boarder at the hotel at
the time of the fire, and he with the
other inmates jumped from the upper
story of the building to escape the
flames. Mr.. Luthey had nearly all of
the town records at the hotel and they
were entirely destroyed, including the

possibly have got part of the books If
he and others had not given their atten-
ton to the attempted rescue of the boy
that burned. One little boy was thrown
from a window fourteen feet to the
ground, but escaped serious injury. 1t
was a close call for everyone in the
house as the building was old and

is believed to have been started by the
man who burned, who was smoking and
