Charles Anderson Shows Fine Speci- mems From Axis Region at s. E.
 WilbOurne's Offices

Charles Anderson, who is the owner of more than G00O acres of Satsuma orange lands at Axis. is a visitor in Birmingham Mir Anderson is very enthusiastic booster of Satsuma or anges and to substantiate his claims that there is no country better adapted to the growing of Satsuma than that around Axis, he has brought along the proof.
 In the office of s. E. Wilbourne will be found branches of bearing trees loaded with oranges and grapefruit which is evidence that will convince the most skeptical that Axis groves have passed the experimental stage.
 MT. Anderson is well informed on Satsuma orange and grapefruit indus tries, and 1t will be source of much plea sure for him to explain in detail to those interested the wonderful devel- opment of the Satsuma orange indus try. MT. Anderson can be found at the office of $, F.. Wilbourne, president of the Black Belt Land company, 5la Twentieth street. north.

 ious years behind General Lee in vir- ginia, barring breast daring death, for a cause which they considered just, and a
 history they knew to be glorious.
 When the news was generally known that Adjutant Darby was dead, Birming- ham was grieved. For it Is perhaps true that no other individual has ever occupied the place in the heart of the Magic City that he occupied. Everybody knew him, and on account of his blameless record, his quaint good humor. his unquenchable optimism, everybody came to love him. In every walk of life the tear was dropped and the sun went down on many hearts which were sore.
 Adjutant Darby was brought to Ala
 ba ma while little ooy by his parents, who were native Virginians. He was a very young man when the clouds of war
 brooded and hung heavy, and finally
 broke into that storm which dampened the fields of the south with the life blood of its heroes. With all the ardour of which youth is capable, with an unshak- able conviction that the cause of the south was just, with that heroism which finds natural birthplace in the heart of southerners. young Darby responded to his country's call In Virginia he fought for four long, bitter years, fought at Bull Run, Harpers Ferry Gaines Mill, Fredericksburg. Sharpsburg, Petersburg, Characteristic, Gettysburg, and finally in the wilderness, and though an abso- lute fearlessness, an almost contempt of death, was the characteristic of his con duct under arms, he escaped all serious injury. His comrades. when apprsed of his end yesterday, declared that the south had had no more gallant soldier, no son more devoted to it's cause, no child
 more in love with its history.
 As soon as the war was concluded the young man-though well tried young man realized how futile. howe unnecessary was battle, how fearful was slaughter,
 how horrible the result of the clash of arms. From that moment he determined to preach peace. A bold soldier, whose courage had a thousand times been tested

One reason mercolized wax Is so strongly recommended is that 1t really takes the place of several different cosmetics, saving time. patience and ex- pense. It is better than any cleansing z cream better than any massage cream. and better than any rouge. for accom- : plishing the results for which such articles are used. As the wax actually absorbs an old. faded or dis, olored cuti- cle, little each day. the underlying skin which gradually appears. is clear CT, softer. healthier-hued and more youthful than any cosmetic made com plexion. Spreading on thin coat of this wax at night, washing it off morn ings, in week or so produces mar vicious transformation. Just one ounce of mcrcolized wax, obtainable at any drug. store. will do the work. There's nothing better to remove freckles, moth patches, liver spots, sallowness, blotches, pimples or blackheads

 The deceased was a quaint and lov-

 he painted. he combined touch of l the humorous. as when he described
 that scene at Gettysburg where, to the front of the Confederate lines, the red I tailed fox sprung up and escaped with
 graceful, agile bounds. the hail of shot which southern sons showered about him; and he never told of the martial glory of combat that he did not con cludo with a gentle reminder that war | is terrible and that men should live in the fear of God and in peace and amity, the one with the other.
 The captain never lost an opportu- nity to write a letter to The Age-H Her

Hopes to Prepare Bill Which Will Be Acceptable to
 the Legislature
PROVIDE FOR FIRST
 AND SECOND CHOICE
Would Also Fix Primary Date in Bill and Close Registration on Final Date Poll Tax Can
 Be Paid

If Bibb Graves of Montgomery. chair man of the state democratic executive committee. is able to prepare bill which will prove acceptable to the legislature, there will never be in Alabama again a primary such as were those of April 6 and
 May II.
 With an idea of remedying conditions.
 the chairman sometime ago wrote to the chairman of all other executive commit tees of the states of the union. He asked in regard to the primary laws of the sev- eral states, and the experience of the states under the laws. He received a great many replies and studied each very carefully. Copies of the laws of the states were distributed among a special subcommittee of the executive commit tee. of which Borden Burr of Birming- ham, Virgil Bouldn of Scottsboro Ben Crum of Montgomery, Kelly Dixon of Tal- ladega and others are members, and this commmittee, which has in charge the preparation of a new primary bill, will meet in the near future.
 Judging from remarks of Chairman Graves, who was in Birmingham through out yesterday, 1t Is safe to predict that hereafter the date of state primaries will would cause no surprise were voters per mitted to cast their ballot for a first choice and second choice candidate
