Incidents in his career illustrative of his native and inherent greatness are worthy of at least a casual notice not only, but of permanent embalmment in the memo ries of those who reaped where he sowed. Men like the subject of the present sketch are apt to be thought of as sordid and selfish while with intensity of spirit and strenuousness of brow they drive impet- uously over obstruction, forgetful of the gentler amenities of life. Oftener, how ever, than is supposed there is beneath the intense exterior hearts of correspond ing compass with the sweep of executive activity. There were many instances of gentle and substantial worth woven into the career of Colonel Powell, only one of which is here given.
 The record of the severity of the winter of 1863 is phenomenal in meteorological rec ords The Ala bama river was frozen over with a stratum of thick ice. An object of wonder to many, the phenomenon ad- dressed itself to the practical side of the mind of Colonel Powell. who cut large quantities of the ice and carefully stored it away The manufacture of ice was then practically unknown as a commodity for market and 1t was in great demand in the hospitals of the Confederacy. He declined an offer of $4o0o0 for his store Of ice and presented it to the Confederate Army hospital department for use in Ala bama and Georgia. Many acts of ,gener- ous spirit were his, but they belong to the chronicles of unwritten history.
 In 1871, James R. Powell, at the head Of the famous Elyton Land company, was securing the territory of Jefferson county

ing on either side and among the shantes and small houses was an occasional dingy tent.
 Under such conditions Colonel Powell, with his usual daring, ventured to invite the session of the Alabama Press asso- olaton to hold it's session in "the city of Birmingham" in 1873. He succeeded. but not content with this, he appeared be- fore the body and again pleaded that the following session be held here also. He encountered stout opposition for two unnylting place, without accommoda- ton, and other places of the state wanted the next session. But combining diplomacy with suavity, Powell prevailed a second tine Having succeeded in this, he urged that the New York Press association, which would be meeting at the same time, be invited to join their brethren of the quill in Alabama. Such temerity stag gered the body. Besides the ragged and rugged conditions existing the New York press was hostile to that of the south because of it's opposition to President Grant In his southern policy. Insuperable seemed the barriers in the way of such an accomplishment as Colonel Powell sought, but he overbore all obstruction and succeeded.
 The result of such movement, coupled with the geological investigations going steadily on meanwhile, made Birmingham secure. The voice of the northern press resounded throughout all the states. and went beyond the Atlantic. Hon, Abram s. Hewill of New York, sounded the prophetic expression: "The fact is plain Alabama is to be the iron manufacturing

he adjusted his stage coach enterprise to a chain of hotels, the most noted of which were located at Montgomery, Lowndes- boro and wetumpka. These interests hourished as the people continued to pour into the new state. As the forests were transmitted into smiling fields, villages and towns began to emerge into populous centers and institutions began to flourish. While Powell was instrumental in making new conditions the conditions were mak
 ing Powell A man grows by the means which he creates. While he makes for tune the fortune makes him. Gifted with an enterprising and constructive mind, MT. Powell was gradually coming to that stage for which his life was fitting him. The combination of conditions which fol-
 lowed in the wake of the turbulence of years was one which would arrest the en- terprisng eye of man of executive skill and breadth of vision which James R. Powell had. Two unfinished lines of rail-
 way penetrated the state, in part. one reaching from the gulf northward. but checked by mountain barriers; the other stretching from the fertile west south ward, but halting before the mountains beyond which was the line with which 1t was destined to be linked in the creation of one of the greatest arteries of com merce in the south. Between the two lay wide yawn of mountain region in which were embosomed untouched treasures which were destined in their development to excite the interest of the world.
 With these resources was associated in the fertile brain of James R. Powell the picture of a mineral metropolis in the
