TWO YEARS AGO
Nv CLYDE w. ENNIS

After having served and helped to
make great this city for over a quar-
ter of a century, the coke ovens of
the Sloss Sheffield Steel and Iron COM
pany on First avenue will be closed
down at the end of this month. An
nouncement to this effect was made
yesterday by j. Campbell Maben Jr
operating vice president of the Sloss
when he said that he could not foresee
anything interfering with the agree
ment between his company and the city
being put into effect December 81
1t will be recalled that the city
decided to the Sloss company part
of an avenue near the properties in a
trade for the complete removal of the
Stag pile and the cessation of opera
ton at the city coke ovens. The agree
ment having been approved on both
sides, will go into effect at the end of
this year.
The Sloss ovens were constructed 80
years ago in 1881 Their flames OBJ

ovens has been the watch fires for
Birmingham many years. With their
removal ends the making of coke in
what was old Birmingham. That is

Lynching Feared

st. Charles, Mo-, December 6.-Police-
man John Blair was shot and killed and
Policeman David Lamb was fatally
wounded by three negroes late this aft
ernoon. One of tho negroes was killed.
THE negroes were shooting craps when
the policemen attempted to arrest them.
They resisted and in the revolver fight
Lamb killed the negro who killed Blair
and was then shot by one of the other
negroes. The other negroes ran to tine
railroad yards and escaped on a freight
train.
A posse in automobiles pursued and
overlook the negroes 10 miles east of
here. In another pistol fight one of the
negroes was shot in the leg, whereupon
both surrendered.
When news was received that the posse
and their prisoners were returning here
a mob of several hundred armed men
set out to meet them. A lynching was
feared.
Intense excitement prevails tonight
among both the whites and negroes.
The negroes will be brought here late

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Voice of Veteran ON Underwood

voice OF veteran OH OHueTWOOu
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
l trust that you will find room in The
Age Herald for this splendid letter writ
ten by DIR. Caffey, an aged and honored
citizen of Verbena, in this, Chiffon
county.
The county democratic paper here is
doing what little 1t can for Mr.. Hobson.
but the ex-Confederate veterans are
massing their forces for Mr.. Underwood
He is the kind of temperance man we
want to represent Alabama in the United
States Senate.
The writer of this hopes that every old
Confederate soldier in Alabama will have
an opportunity to read DR.. Caffey's let
ter, and in this connection 1 wish to state
that he is now in his eightieth year.
but yet active and alert as to the best
follows
Among the numero is letters that have
recently appeared relative to the sena-
torial contest between Oscar w. Under
wood and Capt. r. p. Hobson, there is
none that more heartily meets my con-
currence than the one by DR.. b. f.
Riley.
Like everything emanating from his
pen, to my mind, the reasons he gave for
supporting Mr.. Underwood, were clear,
forceful, convincing and conclusive. He
testifies from the standpoint of personal
observation and knowledge.
"Mr. Underwood is depicted as a man of
lofty character, of long experience in ma
tional councils and wide range of ac-
quirements in matters of craftsmanship,
and worthy to fill the vacant place Of
John I. Morgan and Joseph f. Johnston.
'The charge that Mr.. Underwood is a
tool of the liquor interests is puerile and
furthermore it is illogical and unworthy
of introduction in this contest.
The temperance issue is no wise ger
name to the claims of either contestant.
The determination as to which of these
two men should be selected to represent
Alabama in the United States Senate
ought to hinge on fitness and capacity,
to meet adequately the high demands of
that exalted position.

loom up in the near future for the con-

Rv l.. 6. BETTY

Montgomery, December 6.-(Special.)
No more significant statement has been
made before a public gathering in Ala
bama in many a day than that of
Bishop E. R. Hendrix. presiding over
the Methodist conference in session in
this city, when he advised the young
ministers to keep out of political
fights, "both senatorial and prohibl-
ton"
In a personal conversation later.
Bishop Hendrix stated that his state
ment was not intended to have any
bearing on any local fight in Alabama,
but merely to advise the young min
listers that their duty was not in po-
litical fights. but was in such matters
as affected their churches
Coming as it did from one of the
acknowledged church leaders in the
south, the presiding officer of a con-
ference of ministers and delegates num-
bering nearly 500 members, the state
ment of Bishop Hedrix is destined to
have its effect throughout the entire
state.
Not that a minister should not have
his convictions upon all political sub
pate in political fights, was the tenor
of Bishop Hendricks remarks lie de-
clared that a minister should not de-
part from the sphere set aside for him
by the church-that it was not religious
to do so.
Futile Effort of Anti-SaloOn Leaders
1t is probable that this statement of
Bishop Hendrix will find little favor
with certain anti-saloon leaders of the
state who are making futile efforts
to inject prohibition into the sena-
torial campaign, but 1t is certain that
it will be strongly indorsed by the
majority of church people, including
all denominations, who have declared
that prohibition is not an issue.
1t is undeniable that some of the
rabid anti-saloon men are using every
effort in their power to force prohi-
bttion into the senatorial campaign. It
is known that many of them have
singled out certain church leaders in all
parts of the state and have told them
mot to depart from the faith" as if
they were unfaithful to their church
and its teachings in having political
convictions that were no other than
democratic.
The majority of church people in the

MANY APPLICANTS
TO SUCCEED STREET

1t is rumored that there will be {,
number of applicants for the vacancy

them two we'll known Birmingham at

White. Other names suggested are c..
L. Odell of Bessemer and Paul Hodges
of Florence. Mr.. Bell has been known
as applicant for some time and it
is understood his application is al
ready before the officials at Washing
ton. Mr. White has also forwarded his
application and the statement is made
that he will go to Washington next
week in the interest of his candidacy
The resignation of Mr.. Street came
somewhat as a surprise, as it was gen.
orally supposed he would serve hia
term out, which does not expire until
1916. His resignation is effective jan

MOORE BOUND OVER TO
FEDERAL GRAND JURY

Paul p. Moore, charged with violat-
ing the white slave law, was bound
over to the federal grand jury by
Judge r. B. Watts, United States COM
missioner. At the hearing yesterday
Moore, who is a young man barely
above his majority, pleaded with the
judge for leniency, stating that he was
ignorant of the law and that his
widowed mother was dependent on his
services for support. He denied that
there was any commercialism in his
transactions with the girl that he
brought here from Atlanta.
Judge Watts advised the boy not to
incriminate himself but considered the
evidence sufficient to bind him over to
the grand jury. He was taken to
the county jail and unless he can
make bond will be confined there until
the federal grand jury meets in the
early spring.

state have declined to give heed to
the advice and suggestions made by
some of the prohibition leaders. One
of the leading officials in his county, as
well as the leader in his church, in
fact. the superintendent of his Sunday
school, said a few days ago that he
was as strong a prohibitionist as could
be found in the state. but that he wGs
at the same time a democrat and that
as a democrat he felt he had the right
to select between Representative Oscar
". Underwood and Capt. r. p Hob
son. As a democrat he declared for
Mr.. Underwood.
Similar statements have been heard
by large number of prominent
church leaders who are strong be-
lievers in prohibition, but who are un-
willing to admit that prohibition has
anything to do with the present SEN
atorial campaign.
UnderwoOds Strength
As declared in a former political story
Underwoods strength is measured by the
entire state. There is not a section In
Alabama where Underwood has not gotta
strong following, and not many sections
where his supporters do not outnumber
his opponents by two to one.
The efforts of the rabid anti-saloon leaG-
ers to make prohibition the paramount
issue have rallied to Mr.. Underwood's
support thousands of followers, who,
though prohibitionists, are first democrats.
Reports received at the capitol indi-
cate phenomenal gains for Mr.. Underwood
all over Alabama, the massing together of
a following that will sweep the state for
the popular House leader.
GubernatOrial Campaign
No new developments marked the guber-
material campaign during the past week.
Apparently all candidates are satisfied,
however different may be the views of
others in regard to the race. Reports
from the Henderson campaign headquar-
ters Indicate that Mr.. Henderson is MAX
doubt that he and Mr.. Conner will be
the leading candidates before the primary
is held.
John II. Wallace, Jr.. will be the first
of the candidates for gubernatorial honors
to speak to a Montgomery audience Mr..
Wallace is scheduled for an address here
next Tuesday night and his friends have
completed all arrangements for the meet
ing. Commissioner c. p. Mcintyre will
preside over the meeting.
Capt Reuben f. Kolb and Walter d.
Seed report that they are making nice
progress in their campaign, and appear
sanguine.
Will Candidates Retire?
Although there has been a rather persis-
tent rumor in official and political circles
that certain gubernatorial candidates will
retire from the race, this report has re-
ceived strong denial from1the candidates
themselves. However, the primary is sew
eral months off, and few people in Ala
bama would be surprised to learn that one
or more candidates had retired from the
race. But whether or not any of the can
didates pursue this course, it Is certain
that the local optionists and the anti
Conner following at the proper time will
centralize their strength upon the strong
est candidate against Mr.. Conner.
And the tide runs merrily onward, other
races for state offices, while featureless
during the past week, were sufficiently be-
fore the public to indicate that the can
ddates for the lesser offices were busy.
And they will be busy until the day of
the primary.
