CAPT. JACK JOHNSON
 GETS MANY SIGNERS
Candidate for Postmaster of Birming- ham Will Have Very Formidable
 Petition for Presentation

If appearances county for anything, Capt. Jack Johnson of the Seaboard has the inside track in the race for postmas- ter of Birmingham.
 His petition to be eventually presented to President-elect Wilson bears $50 names of the most prominent and influential peo- pie of Birmingham. He has the bankers, the lawyers, the doctors, the railroad men, and others in all walks and pro- fessions and conditions of life.
 Into the campaign Captain Johnson has entered with enthusiasm, and he ex- presses himself as being highly gratified in that his friends in such large numbers have so willingly and heartily offered their assistance.
 Inasmuch as democratic congressman have expressed themselves as being of the opinion that present postmasters un- der the regime of the republicans should be removed irrespective of whether or not their terms of office will have expired by March 4, the indications are that demo- crats will be in control of the mails of the nation before many more months have elapsed. The prediction is that Captain Johnson will land. None of the others who have been mentioned as applicants for the position have initiated as yet an active campaign.

INVITE MERCHANTS TO AID CLUB LUNCHEON
Fake Advertising and City Ordinance Against Such Practices to
 Be Discussed

Every Birmingham merchant is invited to attend the weekly luncheon of the Birmingham Ad club at the Empire cafe this afternoon beginning at 1 o'clock, as the subjects up for discussion at this meeting will be of special interest.
 Holiday advertising. in which are mixed many schemes promoted by fraudulent advertising "genuises,'' and the Spokane CWash) Ad clubs adver- Using ordinance, which it succeeded in having passed by the city government there, prohibiting fake advertising schemes, will be discussed. The ad club will make plans to warn and protect the merchants of Birmingham from fraudu- lent advertising schemes and it is for this purpose that every merchant is be- ing asked to attend the luncheon
 Possibilities of getting the Birmingham City commission to pass an ordinance, hitting at fake advertising, similar to the Spokane ordinance, and later on the passage of a law by the Alabama legis- lature with this same end in view, will be considered.

.ABERNETHY AND
 BENNERS ELECTED
Will Preside Over Court of Common Pleas for Next
 Four Years

Judge I. H. Benners and Judge H. B. Abernethy were reelected yesterday to their present positions in the court of common pleas by the several judges of the courts of record of Jefferson county. Judge Samuel E. Greene and Judge w. R. Fort of the criminal court, Chancel- Tor A. H. Benners, Judge J. F. Stiles, Judge E. c. Crow and Judge C. B. Smith of the circuit court, Judge c. c. Nesmith. Judge c. W. Ferguson, Judge John H. Miller and Judge Sharpe con stituted the election body
 The meeting was held in the library at the courthouse and each of the judges were elected on the first ballot. The court of common pleas superseded the inferior court of Birmingham and went into effect in April, 1911. One of the provisions of the act creating the court was that the judges of the courts of record of Jefferson county should meet and elect the Judges of the court imme- diately after the general election. The term is for four years.
 Both Judge Abernethy and Judge Ben ners are well qualified for the position to which they have been selected, having served as justice of the peace and judge of the inferior court prior to the es- tablishment of the court of common pleas. Both are capable and their elee- ton has given general satisfaction to the bar and those having business with the courts.

A Defense of Lewisburg

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Mausoleums. cemeteries. graveyards or burying grounds. whichever your artistic taste prompts you to name the place for final disposition of the dead. are at the least not very inviting places: there seems to be something uncanny and creepy about even the most refined and well kept. Then inn agine, if you can, a lonely spot, far from the habitat of any human being. on the bank of small ravine, sur rounded by tall and stately pines whose mournings and sighings are ac- companied by the continuous roar and purr of the enormous wheels of the Du pont Powder company's mills as they grind. grind, grind like the fable of The Old Salt MIL" where the whip o'-wills call is lost on everything ex- cept the hurrying, scurrying trains of the Louisville and Nashville railroad as they swiftly glide by some hun dreds of yards away.
 Draw upon your imagination such a picture and then come near a little mound, newly made, and with rever- ence, while the pines sing their sad requicms. read the inscription on the crude wooden headboard. "A Cow"
 The history of this grave will. per maps, be of interest to some. It will be remembered that recently the sher- ifs office, with Mr. Walter Metcalf.

LETTERS TO EDITOR

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The series of articles or sketches being written by pr. B. r. Riley for The Age both old and young. In Sunday morning. -Age-Herald the doctor told of Frank w. Bowdon. Be it known that many men Of learning and culture have lived in this lovely valley of Talladega county, but the life of none have been fuller of incident and achievement than that of Bowdon.
 This man had a gifted and musical tongue. A party of gentlemen returning home from a successful hunt of several days met MT. Bowdon on his way to court. The hunters were in fine glee and full of good cheer. Give us a speech, Frankv' they shouted. What shall I speak about?" Choose your subject" Then it shall be God and Creation ' Hear Hear" they cried. He sat there upon his horse and delivered to about 20 of his neighbors and friends and three or four servants one of the greatest and most touching and tender speeches of his life. The charm and spirit of the Maker filled him to overfiowing and the com pany of hunters caught the inspiration and lifted him from his horse and there fin the road they held love feast, return ing thanks and praise to heaven.
 My father and my uncle. James Mall lory, told me that they had heard Mr. Webster, Randolph, s. & Prentiss, Clay, Calhoun, Benton and. in fact. most all of the gifted and wise men of the nation in Washington and elsewhere. but that none of them had the sweet tongue and pure and beautiful English as did this remark able man.
