LETTERS TO EDITOR
Ghosts and Apparitions

To the Editor OF The Age Herald:
A company Of gentlemen recently We're
discussing some of the strange things of
life, among others being superstition and
apparitions. We know that all mankind
have in their natures more or less of this
unaccountable thing, superstition. The
more and the better that the youth of the
country is educated, the faster will old
time superstition disappear, but 1t will
never be vanquished. After listening TO
stories of haunted houses and highways
and wooded places where some one had
lsbeen robbed and killed, | have put my
hand upon the top of my head to find out
If my hair was standing up like the quilts
of a Pohcupine, but the fancied vision, or
phantom always failed to effect 1t.
There is a vast difference between super
stions and apparitions, the latter being
a matter of history. l know robust
man to whom previous apparitions of al
fiictions and death would come, and while
these spells of restlessness were upon
him, it was painful to be in his presence.
A friend and comrade of mine, Henry
Stovall at the battle of the wilderness,
took my hand IN his and pressing IT 70
his lips said: ''This is my last goodbye,
this young face right on the brink OF
eternity is with me today. brother or
Gen. John b. Gordon's galloped up to nun
at the moment the line was ready 10 ad-
vance, and extending his hand SAID:
"Borther, will be killed today. "Oh, boy,
don't distress me So" Away Went the
youth to meet death upon the held OIL car
mage. His words put new courage INTO the
heart of his gallant brother, and perhaps
that day he fought death harder theh
ever before, that he might avenge ms
brothers blood.
| could tell you of many incidents anu
scenes hard to believe. Yes | coulo I'LL
a hook. On ljfe's great highway 1t has
been my good fortune to meet hiany
friends to share with me my joys ana
sorrows, but perhaps the closet and near
est ties of friendship have been tnose Oh
my comrades in arms. This comes roni
our common sufferings and dangers
Throw the switch and let me get away
from ghosts and haunts and apparitiohs,
and speak a word to the intelngeht anu
christian people of the world or all the
human ma ssions, the desire 10 shed pioou
is the most inhuman and cruel All sane
and thoughtful men will ADMIT tnat f ,lia
Is a great truth. War brings su,ei
want and death: it fills the laho WIN ue-
pendent women and children anu =, nu,pos y. ~
arisbed old men, hut worse than all IL de-
strovs and dissolves manhood into brutes.

SURPRISE SPRUNG IN
CONSPIRACY CASE
Counsel for log Koreans at
Seoul Declares Tribunal
Incompetent

Seoal, Korea, January ia surprise
Was sprung today on the court trying
the 106 Koreans charged with eonspiring
against the life of the japanese governor
of Korea, Count Terauchi, when counsel
for the defense asserted that the tribu-
nal was incompetent
Takuso Hana, one of the barristers.
speaking on behalf of the defense of the
accused, asserted that the oftense with
which, the prisoners are charged was a
political one. He alleged that the at
tempt was against the governor-general
of Korea and not against Count Terau-
chi, himself. Therefore, he argued, only
the. supreme court was competent to try
them.
The court will consider the plea and
announce it's decision January 10.
When the trial reopened today after a
postponement from December q the court
announced that it would call 80 wit
nesses, including the police inspector
who examined the prisoners. 1t has also
accepted a quantity of documentary evil
dence to prove alibis.
Nc foreign missionaries are to be called
as witnesses.

MONEY FOR COUNTY
ROADS AVAILABLE
Highway Commission Votes
$4,000 for Immediate Use
in Counties

Montgomery. January 13.-lSpecial)-
Every county in Alabama can now coll
lect $1,000 as it's share of the state aid
road appropriation for 1913. The state
highway commission today voted to make
the money available for immediate use.
The commission also voted to prorate
the unused 1911 appropriation as soon as
it is determined how many counties
failed to make use of the money within
two years after the 1911 money was made
available.
Several weeks will probably pass before
the money can be distributed as the
commission will have to await deci-
sion in case brought by the county of
Jefferson in the city court of Montgom-
cry. The county claims the 1911 appro-
priation as work was started prior to
the expiration of the period. 1t is prob
able another test case will be necessary
before the commission will know whether
or not it should give counties their 1911
appropriation as the question in the JEFF
ferson county case is whether or not the
commission can recall the appropriation
after contracts have been let and work
started.
The same feature cannot be raised
in some counties as no request for the
money has ben made.
