stonewan Jaclsaon's Grandson

Thomas (StonewalD Jackson Christian. who graduated at West Point the other day, is q tall, handsome fellow, and is as gentle and unassumlng as he is man ly,' said a citizen who was a friend of young Christians parents and who has seen a good deal of Jack, as they call him. since he was a small boy
 This grandson of the great Stonewall Jackson was appointed to the West Point cadetship by President Roosevelt four years ago. It was a graceful act on the part of the President, for he made the appointment, l understand, of his own notion The year before young Christian entered the military academy he spent q day In Birmingham as my guest, He was then only 16 or F years of age, but ne was well-grown and a more comedy youth I never beheld. What particularly ih- pressed me was the young mans we'll bred manners and his quiet humor. His mind seemed sngularly matured, and while he was inclined to be reserved he was a most interesting talker when l drew him out He was indeed charming, and was more like an old comrade than boy in his teens.
 "In connection with Jack Christians graduation I recall this moving account of Stonewan Jackson and General Lee, which, Mary Johnson gives in her new book The Long Roll Novel of the War Between the States: At the first Bull Run, General Bee who was hard pressed, solicited the support of Jackson. I've count on you" said General Bee. Said Jackson: Count only upon God, General Bee. But I will give them the bayonet" Bee galloped off over the pla- teau, fine, tall man with bright sash about his waist and a plumed hat on his head, his long hair streaming. Rising in his stirrups he held his sword aloft. Pro- jected upon the sky at the edge of ra- vine "he looked colossal, a bronze de- signed to point the way" He cried to his retreating men: Look! Wonder Is Jackson standing like a stone wall Rally behind the Virginians!" A shell struck General Bee and he fell, mortally hurt. The story goes on: 'The eyes of the men in the cleft below had followed the pointed sword. The hilltop was above

The stone walls coming;' " And it was Stonewan Jackson, and not T. J. Jackson, always afterward.
 with his grandfather's Christian char acter, intrepdity and military genius in mind the grandson will through life strive for high ideals, and it is safe to say that his friends will not be disappoint- ed in his future career"

Tn inc Realm of Fishermen


 'The fishermen of this town have been searching many waters in these parts for good fishing, with but moderate degree of success" said Percy Clark.
 There are many large fish in West Lake, near Bessemer but the clear water and the entangling moss have conspired to give poor luck to those who have tried there of late.
 '"rhe finest fishing in easy reach of the city is slope seven.' near Thomas, on the Pratt City line. Early in the season ten- day permits were issued by the company owning this lake, and some very fine catches were made. The owners have closed it for this season and are arrang- ing to increase it's stock of game fish through the aid of the federal govern ment.
 q have ashed quite a good deal during the past few weeks in East Lake. Early in the month I had fair luck, taking many trout weighing from one-quarter to half pound, a few something heavier, but only one weighing a pound. Last season I took from this lake many fish weighing two and three pounds, and several weigh ing from four to four and three-quarter pounds. I have failed to find the larger fish this season. There are two or three reasons, any or all of which may account for this. The waters were drawn off this past winter and the fish corralled into about five acres. It is probable that the larger fish have not become localized. I remember that last season very nearly all ht fro, y1ao IF a pier out in the deep waters close to the channel of the creek, which formerly flowed along there. The moss has al most taken half the lake; in year or two 1t will have completely webbed it, so that there'll not be any fishing that will help a man heavenward. There are many small trout In East Lake and they are taken with the fly and minnows, but most of those caught should have been left in the lake to grow to some size Early in the season nice strings of bream were taken from this lake Now most of them are small, and then, too, many per- sons mistake the sun perch and others for bream, which are easily caught.
 ''As the waters are clear the trout fishing at East Lake is handicapped by many persons strollng along the shore and by the launches and the pleasure boats padded at times without regard to the amenities, oftimes from the pure cussedness' of the occupants.
 "So many mill ponds and deep holes have been dynamited by yandals that it is difficult to find any first-class fishing except probably in St. Clair county. l understand that there Is fine bass fishing at Big Lake across the Warrior from Hulls. never cared for Hulls lake very much on account of its slimy, stagnant waters, snakes. mosquitoes and black mud. The largest game fish I have seen this season. a 71s-pound bass. came from Big Lake
 Many parties go out, particularly on Sunday, to Locks. 3 and on the Coosa and make good catches of cat fish, big bream, and occasionally a fine trout or bass. Later on the mouths of creeks flowing into the Coosa will afford fine sport catching bass, Dream and white perch, this last gamey. good-sized fish. which runs in schools"

Signs of Progress

Nothing perhaps gives visitor better impression of a city than large building operations" said s. V. Hallo- well of Chicago. "I have been to Blr- mingham four times within the past six years and each time I have seen at least one skyscraper and many other preten- tious buildings in course of construction.
 Birmingham rapid growth has as- tonished the world and I predict that in the census of 1920 this city will make a showing as phenomenal as that of last year. No matter what temporary back sets 1t may have, Birmingham is des- tined to be in time the largest and rich est city in the south"

THAT NEW JAPANESE TREATY

The United senate has passed new treaty with
Japan and the two countries rejoicing over the
same and all because the treaty relations threatened
to bring about ugly situation between them which
might have resulted in boodshod The full text of the
treaty has not been published in the press of the
try yet but enough of it has to give the people of
the United States to understand that this country is
not to be flooded with Japanese migrants Discuss
ing the probable passage of the treaty by the senate
the Union Record of Seattle in it's last issue spoke as
follows:
The treaty with Japan which the president wants
confirmed by the United States senate would place the
entire Pacific Coast at the mercy of the nation striving
for commercial supremacy in the Northwest
Natives of Japan crowding out the white gar
deners on this coast they entering all lines of in
dustry in competition with white labor they are open
ing up stores in all lines of mercantile pursuits and if
the bill passed in the state senate becomes law they
will be future landlords"
The above view of the Japanese is so puerie that
real man would have used such an argument The
white man is able to hold his with any human be-
ing in existence and deny the allegation and defy
the alligator that the white be crowded out
by the Japanese any other kind of neese. He has
IS much physical endurance than the Jap and
he has SKILL and is therefore, doubly able to hold
his own any kind of competition with the Jap or any
other nationality The union man who thinks as does
the Record is lion with the heart of mouse and
only fights when he gets great host of his kith and
kin around him. Such towards are not deserving the
protection of the flag of the land of the free and the
home of the brave

make a pretense of having buried the Ratchet, nd
stood ready to receive the Chinese with open
cialy and otherwise, and by that kind of soft soap
would make them lose their heads and forget their
troubles which would prove another entering wedge
for the trade of the Chinese government
Very remarkable, mildly putting it in view of
the fact that this self Seattle Press Club dsband
ed and reorganzed because of the charter men,
bers of the first organization was highly educated
man that had one fourth Negro blood in his veins and
the members felt that it would be lowering the white
mans dignity to minge with Negro, as they put it;
and that too despite fact that the objectona member
owned more real estate than any other member of the
club
1t is very remarkable because the Seattle Press
Club demonstrated and admitted that the members
thereof were as inconsistent Tbompson's colt that
swan the river to get drink. The citizens of the
United States throughout the civilized world are
branded as lot of INSCRIPTIONS traders and stand
ready to stoop to anything in order get chance to
eucher the other fellow out of his money and the ac
ton of the Seattle Press Club in socially entertaining
the Chinese is but fair sample of it.

GRAND JURY INDICTs WAPPY

The expected has happened and Charles W. Wap-
penstein former chief of police of Seattle has been
indicted by the grand jury in session. and so Sc
rous did the jury cansder the that asked Judge
Main to fix the bail at $685. 000 which was done and
the same given by the accused
1t is the concensus of opinion that Mr. Wappen-
stein is up against the real thing and unless death in
terposes not Big Bill Morris can save him from
term IN state prison. Revenge is sweet and the hu-
man being that does not rejoice at draught thereof
does not seem to have yet been born. Everybody
thought and almost knew that Wappenstein would be
indicted and he, himself was of the opinion.
owing to public sentiment in Seattle Just now the
grand jury would return true bill Indictment against
him and he knew there nothing for him to do but
to face the music, and if need be- take his medicine
but the arreSting officer after the papers had been
placed IN his hands for service clothed himself in gar
ments of seuh and proceeded to seek the accused in
the places down town where he was known to pass
his time away, and from them he went to the home
of the accused, where he was taken into custody.
If the officer could have overlooked the opportunity
to drink at the fountain of revenge and had have ee
phoned to Charles W. Wappenstein and informed him
that ne held warrant for his arrest he Wappv
would have told him, 'in thirty minutes will meet
you at the office of my attorney and then you serve
your papers," Just as much would have been accom-
plshed and the disposition of one man domineering
over another would have been cut out.
Despite our boosted superiority of civilization and
our great boasts of humanitaransm there seems be
only step between civilization and that of the bar
baran Our errng brother is one to be pttied rather
than to be Inundated, and may the day come when
the spirit of kindness will replace thar of revenge in
the human heart.

sst in 1t is possibly true that the tendency of the
state is toward state wide prohibition, and there
those who now in the saloon business who predict
that within the next five years the state will be in the

splendid local option law and one that has worked
most admirably, and all sides should have been willing
to let we'll enough alone until they make the final
move to turn the state into the prohibition column
That everlasting tinkering with the measure is
damnable and disgusting and likewise dstaseful to
the advocates of state wide prohibition, and if
Doty and his adherents keep it up there will be no
show of it ever being put in the dry column There
was good and sufficient reason for Doty and his
anti-saoon lobby being at Olympia this year and the
house is to be congratulated for having dealt the per-
nicious measure solar plexus below the belt which
put it to sleep for at least two years more.
This paper took the stand at the opening of the
legislature that the present law should be tried out and
if it continued to operate well it had done since
then the most rabid temperance could find
no fault with it.

A VERY REMARKABLE ADMISSION

Recently the Seattle Press Club entertained the To-
cal Chinese colony including the men, women and chill
dren and in commenting upon it the Times said 1T
was remarkable because the Chinese women and chill
dren appeared socially with the Americans
Exceedingly remarkable might make it stronger,
and it needs to be strong language make it.
These heathen and to say the least repusve people to
the American white man, wined and dined by the
white man, his wife and children-and for why? To
curry favor with them for fields in which the
white man may sell and barter his articles of trade
and commerce.
1t took the standing army to prevent the citizens
of Seattle from driving the Chinese located in the city
into the very only few years ago because the
Chinese were coming here in great numbers and only
wanted to wash the dirty linen of the white man. But
yesterday protests from the Chamber of Commerce
flew over the wires to Washington City against the
int international tregty between the United States
and Japan if it permitted the Japanese to come into
the United States the same as white men from the
European countries 1t is very remarkable because
those whites who entertained the Chinese knew that
no more of them could to the United States and
they would slobber the few that here and
