The United Daughters of the Confed-

a friend as Mr.. Morgan S. Gilmer of
Montgomery. For several years he has
given the gold medal offered the children
of Confederacy chapters by the Alabama

correctly answer the greatest number of
historical questions propounded.
Mr. Gimer is the founder of that unique
organization known as the Yalerham-

tests some one of these Yallerhammers
belonging to the Children's chapters. u.

the Yallerhammers are paid the highest
compliment that could be paid them 1t

EIGHT GOVERNORS OF ALABAMA
1874-19O1
No Administration of Governor Houston
1874--190I

AS by law provided the Legislature
that was chosen at the general election
of November 3. 1874. assembled at the
capitol on Monday, the 10th day of the
same month. Dignity and solemnity
was restored to the occasion. The
yawning, deep line that the govern
ment at Washington had drawn be-
tween its own ambition and the as
piration of the white people of the
state to perpetuate the liberty to which
they were born was now partially OBJ
liberated. The white counties were
awakened. Spencer had lost his hold
there lie alone of the carpetbaggers
remained in great power. The scala
wag element was overmatched in the
nature of things and its doom lowered
near.
The awakening of the white counties
was due largely to the agitation kept
up in Congress. intended to pass po-
litical control of the state to the ne
groes of the black belt. That body
considered the social equality bill
and President Grant was known to ia
yor the measure in the heat of the
campaign. The county authorities in
the black belt that had been legis-
lated into office by Congress in 1868
in defiance of the. will of the whites.
now used their opportunity in the
most offensive manner. The grand
Jury of the city court of Montgom-
cry. impaneled fore the spring term
Of 1876, was in nothing short of a
nuisance The foreman. one Wright,
was an employe of county official.
Another of the jury was an employe
of Woolfe, who was county treasurer.
Another sitting in the box was Sc
curity on the official bond of Tax Col
lector Pat Robinson. Another was then
under indictment for murder now out
under bond with the tax collector as
security. Another was negro, Pat
Hamilton. recently tried and convicted
of larceny. Ike Lucas, negro, lately
lodged in Jail on charge of burglary,
was of that grand jury.
An incident of the general situation
was the Cal Wagner comedy troop
came to Montgomery and hired the
theatre. A notorious local negro. named
whitman, conspired with the negro
senator, Jones, from Lowndes county,
and the negro barlxeeper, Cashin, OF
Montgomery to. test the merit of the
social equality bin just passed by
Congress. The three went together
to the box office, laid down So and
demanded three tickets TO the par
Quet. They were refused because of
their race. They brought suit in the
United States court. The bill failed of
the expected result just as the civil
rights law enacted soon after the war,
legalizingt intermarriage of the races
failed. The negroes had no desire for
laws Of that kind. To Illustrate, when
