Florence, September l9 -(Special)- )-ln memory of the late Justice simpson, as sociate justice of the Alabama supreme court, the following resolutions were adopted by the Lauderdale County Bar association at recent meeting:
 "on August 12, in the city of New York. Judge Robert Tennant Simpson quietly passed from these earthly courts to the courts above Judge Simpson died at the age of 75 years. He was born and reared at Florence, educated at Princeton uni yersity. from which institution he was graduated with the degree of master of arts and later was graduated in law at Cumberland university. Lebanon, Tenn. He entered upon the practice of his pro- fession in his native state, but later se- moved to Arkansas where he lived at the outbreak of the civil war.

Always of A judicial temperament and with those other attributes so desirable in a judge he gave 10 his work all the best qualities of mind and heart. His opinions showed the most careful research and sagest consideration. He loved his work and gave 1t his unremtting and deyotel toll.

 troduces Speaker

LaFayette. September )-

The occasion was reunion of the Confederate soldiers and opening campaign for con fributions to erect monument to com memorate their deeds for all time, Mir Clayton's father at one time lived in ( Chambers county near Oak Bowery, at that period In her early days when such men as Sam Jones' father. the Smiths and Andrews made that section famous as the homes of some or the brainiest.men Tn east Alabama.
 '. Thomas Heflin introduced MT. Clay tol and among other remarks spoke the following: "The center of gravity in him Is on the side of the people. His big heart Is in the right place and in all things his sympathies are on the right side. The power of his great intellect has been and is being used in behalf of the people. Ills eio quent voice Is always heard in their dc ense and through d service in Con gress extending over d period of IA years his votes have been cast for the best in- teres of his countrymen. The demo- cral. party has no abler champion in the House of Representatives and the masses of the people no truer friend. lie is an able conscientious public servant Ladief and gentlemen, l now take pleas u.o in presenting to you a man that delight to call my friend-a man of whom Alabama is justly proud-Hon.

 Nr. Clayton received an ovation. He Mir.
