several times for bravery. Has Miss
 Armes investigated the geneaoogy of those same old Jefferson county families? :? She is supposed to write only facts, and she does a great injustice to great many Jefferson county families and a great many Birmingham people when she makes statements that she did make in her article in the Survey. These same Jefferson county families are descendants of the bluest blood of Virginia, Maryland,
 North and South Carolina It is not a fake claim, either. Their records have
 been proven step by step and they are members of the Daughters. of the Amer ican Revolution, Colonial Danes and de- scendants of colonial governors. I have records before me that have been proven of those self same Jefferson county peo- pie that came to Virginia in 1909. were members of the first assembly in Vir- Ginia in 1919, and successivelyfrom father tc son for many generations. It is strange that descendants of those men that made and gave us this great America should try to retard progress in every way at this late day and time. I remember the old MT. Squires you spoke of. My fathers home was always open to him, and he spent many, many nights there, without money and without price. I would tell how my father helped buy the land, helped get the right of way for the rail- road, as did the greater number of men in that part of the county. They were anxious for the mines to be opened they were anxious for the railroad. So many Of them arc sleeping among the cedars on tho hillsides and down in the green valleys of old Jefferson, and died think ing they had done well. But there is a stranger in our midst, and she sees all that has been left undone and very little where it could be said, Well done, thou good and faithful servant As for tho native physicians, there are Dr.. William and Mortimer Jordan. Dr. F. M. Prince and pr. Cunningham Wilson, who are Jefferson county boys, and the DTS. Ma son, DTS. Drennen, and Dr. E. M. Robin

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Answers Miss Ethel Armes

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 I am an Alabamian, one of Jefferson county's own daughters. not from adop- ton. but am proud, very proud to say a native born. Miss Ethel Armes is not. I know not from whence she came, or whither she will go. Just bird of pas sage, to make living for a while; to teach us and to point out our shortcom- ings. Whence all this trade against old Jefferson families? Have they offended her? If she only could know them, she would be charmed. If she could enter their homes and could enjoy the refined and intellectual conversation, she, even she would almost believe they were a reading people" and perhaps their par ents looking before them. She would en- joy looking at the beautiful old furniture, old silver, pictures, and especially old books I was born near old Jonesboro (not yesterday and am perhaps nearly as old as Miss Armes, and have yet 10 sec or even to hear of log cabin in old Jonesboro I remember number of the old homes, and especially one that has since been torn down, was the home of COI.

No sweeter, more re- fined and altogether lovely woman ever lived It was a great privilege just to know her.

 If Miss Armes could have listened to that mother many years ago as she taught her children, especially her boys, the principles that had been taught her by fer father she would yearn to do great things for her home. her country and her flag He was an educated man, a fine historian, read and discussed his tory with his children, the battles. and the great. brave men.
