Some of our readers don't UNDER
stand the political situation. For
their benefit we will say that
there are now three divisions In
the Republican party.
The Taft element claims that his
nomination was fair and that he
should be reelected.
The anti-Taft or Roosevelters
are divided into two-Republicans
who claim that Mr.. Taft's nomina-
ton was dishonest, that his admin
istration has been a drawback
TO the party, and that while they
favor Col. Roosevelt or some other
good man, they want to remain In
the party.
The other element OF the Roose-
Welt wing has decided to leave
the party to organize the Progress
i've party, OF which Col. Roosevelt
Is already the nominee.

A-Chdrdcter of Early Birmingham!
BY MRS. J. R. REID.

One can look back over the early days of Birmingham, when it was an infant fin the arms of fate, with its destiny tossed here and there, just beginning to raise it's head. to walk out in the world and herald the name of growing Bir- mingham to the money powers for capi- tai, when in 1873 cholera knocked on her door and invaded her family and thus put to sleep many of her active builders. Among those that were left was Aunt Charlotte" She had moved to Birmingham during the construction of the l.. X N. railroad had served in the homes of many pioneer families, had swept the dust from the shanties to be occupied by the new corners and has lived to see the wonderful changes of time and progress. She, too became im- bued with the spirit of get rich quick" during the boom. and as the people be- gan to move in, with hotels scarce, and restaurants few Aunt Charlotte served meals to the white folks. She occupied a frame house on Seventh avenue and Twenty-third street, built and fur

 de rich folks likes my bread" She made the old corn dodger that we read of from Grandma's cook boolk-and her pastry was flaky and good. The old darlkey worked faithfully and well She was ever humble and respectful. Her only pur- pose seemed to please my white folks, :" and she never let a stranger move with in blocks of her. she did not solicit their business. Work was not hard for her; she soon became known as the "Gasser of Seventh Avenue" She could fill a short order, or a full meal at any hour of the day and late at night one could see the blaze from her half open door, Gasser was the pioneer restau- ranter of boom time, and he had more than one could do, so Aunt Char lotte's white friends infringed on his title and she received much advertisement in a good humored usurpation of some of Gasser's privileges.

She lives in her valley home, and peddles all the day and if clothes could talk Aunt Charlotte would have volumes of history stored year in and year out In her humble quarters. She cannot write, but she knows every gar ment, and keeps in mind the price. Think of the training she has given herself wonderful to know that her methods have so planted themselves in her life that she can so readily know her stock. She has d rummage sale the year round the warehouse for real curiosity shop Style does not effect her market; she caters to no taste; she has only something to sell and she trusts to luck in sstock taking; it would be hard to tell the total of her supply waiting for disposal. Just 27 years ago we met her-"any work to do scrubbing or cleaning?" This was the motive then, poor worn frame. now she simply knocks as your agent, "any clothes to sell" When the grim reaper knocks at her door, and time has sur rended the faithful soul there'H be no thought of which dress she'll year" Among those for whom she has labored they will each recall that she has served them well and in her collection of treas ures given. she has some little well cared for relic of many pioneer homes of Bir- mingham. As she took out her bag of small coin to catch the car on First ave- nue she stopped to tell where she had gotten that dime.' it was slick and worn, but the giver was gone; she folded 1t away and said 'dey don't put dollars on folks eyes when dey die now" but 1 sure wants to put this dime in my grave cause dat was sure one good white wo- man; she was good to me-. There are hundreds of Birmingham women n,l,o will remember Aunt Charlotte has been good to them and by her trading skill she has made them many dime, and served we'll the white folks who have clothes toe sell.
