 Day Services Today

Columbus, Ga, April 25-(special.) = The funeral at 10 o'clock this morn ing of w. T. B. Lynch, whose death occurred at his home in this city Tuesday after an illness since last October, caused from a paralytic stroke, from which he never recovered, recalls some interesting events in the political history of Ala abama during the days when Reuben F. kolb was a great power in that state, and who, backed first by tue Farmers alliance and later by the pop ulist party, was one of the most eonspicu- ious political figures of the early nineties. Mir. Lynch moved 10 Columbus dozen or so years ago, and had resided in this city since that time having the high esteem and respect of those who knew him.
 Prominent Politically

when they went down in defeat, but with that, same spirit they had manifested when their fight began. It is recalled that commissioner of agriculture of Alabama, hailing from Barbour county, was can didate for governor. Commissioner Kolb had during the latter sos made a tour of the western states in Alabama on Wheels" special train carrying many exhibits of Alabama farm and field prod ucts as we'll as products of other kinds. lie had returned to Alabama, after mak-
 ing a most successful tour, and in the year 1S90 backed by the alliance and his fame as the producer of the famous Kolb Gem watermelon, Captain Kolb went be- fore the state democratic convention as a candidate for the nomination for gov ernor. MT. Lynch was one of Captain I<olb's warmest and most influential sup porters, but he was defeated.
 Candidate for Auditor
 It was in 1892 that the populst party was organibzed in Alabama and in other southern states. with Captain Kolb as the candidate for governor, and on the ticket with him was the name of w. T. B. Lynch for the office of state auditor. This ticket went down in defeat It was not many years after that before MT. Lynch moved to Columbus, where he had resided up to the time of his death.
 An incident is related showing the de- termination and influence of MT. Lynch over men. It is stated that on one oc- casion in convention in Birmingham the delegates began to get very rough and it seemed as if the meeting would break up in general row. The presiding officer was powerless and finally pre- vailed upon MT. Lynch to take the chair. Upon ascending the rostrum he stretched forth one hand and seized the gavel with the other. He began to talk to the con- vention and the turbulence slowly sub sided. Grim determination was depicted upon his face, and finally the delegates saw that master was in the chair. The business of the meeting was taken mp where it had been left off when the TOW began and there was nothing further to disturb the serenity of the proceedings.
 In addition to Captain Kolb other prom inent figures in the politics of the time who were close to MT. Lynch and to whom he was close, may be mentioned Col Peyton G. Bowman of Birmingham, one of the most prominent lawyers in the state also Col. E. T. Talaferro of the same place, who left Birmingham years ago going to New York to pursue the practice of his profession-the law.

and ease, and every part of the

Hon. Saunders Wffburn, of VII
mona, a rising young attorney Of
the state, we'll known to the people
of Starkville, a nephew of Messrs.
H T., D, A, and J. s. Saunders,

audience from his opening remarks
to the close. His address abounded
in interesting historical facts, sub
blime pathos and genuine humor,
and it stamped him us an orator of
the highest order. His many friends
here had cause to feel a pard jnable
pride in his address, and, as he is
a young man with with career
before him, these friends will watch
that career with deepest interest.
