ANTE-BELLUM FLOATING
 PALACES OF ALABAMA

The accompanying article is the ninth of the series of stories entitled. ''The Floating Palaces of the Alabama or de after the civil war by the late Judge J. Fleetwood Foster. who was editor of the Wilcox Banner from 1908 to 1910.
 The article follows:
 We know of only one of the ante bellum captains of the fifties who still lives-Captain Luck Wainwright. now residing at Jackson, being past s4 years Of age What a world of history is cov- cred by that stretch of life. Capta in Wainwright was born about 1S1S when Blakely was a rival of Mobile. Vessels were consigned to the former, as the lat ter had no warehouses in which to stack goods, ware and merchandise, and north ern men had built up Blakely intending to close up old Mobile. or leave her with the French and Spanish population to eke cut an idle life, as mere Indian trading point
 Blakely was on the high, healthy land. and at her feet rolled the broad Ten saw. Lots were held above reason and ine boom was at us lloou, Whch ehc goose that laid the golden egg was killed. Mobile dirt was cheap, and the tide began to turn towards the western snore, and the boom town tottered and fell by it's own rashness. Montgomery and Selma were then not known by their present names.
 Captain Wainwright was born in Mon- roe county in the days that Alabama was made state, and early in life he followed the river as a profession, and rapidly rose to be one of the most popu- lar commanders of his day, always con- tending with opposition. and yet an un- kind word was never heard of him by a competitor. He realized that there was room at the top, and he struggled to reach it, always with a broad smile and a hearty handshake for his rival. and to a co-partner his liberal spirit said, Tive and let live.'
 Truly he has fought a grand fight! He has followed his beloved state through her varied fortunes; he has seen a popu- lation of r125,000 swell to near 100000 within it's original confines. He has lived
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-09-27

under two flags" and has seen changes in empires and republics, his state capi- tai rolled from south to north and from west to center. He was a country youth when the first railroad track was laid on this continent, and can remember the first locomotive that raised steam. He has lived to see this broad iand girded by steel and iron. crossing mountains, spanning rivers and diving into terra eotta' and has with sorrow witnessed the driving of commerce from the great rivers by this formidable competitor. He was near manhood in the flush times of Alabama and was a witness to the great panic that followed most times. He ex- perienced the greatest drouth within the history of our state, which began August l. 1889. and ended January 31, ls40.
 When barefoot boy he could whistle up more playmates among the redskins, than could whites and blacks combined, and he saw that hardy race driven west ward no more to appear as heirs to the
 land given to them by the Diety. He has lived to see the fair daughters of Alabama change fashion with each re- curing season, and he is still beholdng this miracle. He has witnessed these encroachments, which bid fair to leave only the brooches to his sex-vest, shirt jacket, hat, cap. cravat. collar, cuffs have all been appropriated. He has seen the skirts of womankind so distended by crinolne that one would occupy a whole spacious room on the magnificent Emperor, and then he has seen half score Of ladies in full dress occupy one settee In the saloon of the Henry J. King. He has seen shoes without heels rise with two-inch heels in the middle of dainty feet. and hose of ivory whiteness change to all the colors of the rainbow. He has seen dresses trail from the state room to the dinner table, and had wit -i messed their shortening to the shoe tops In a word, Captain Luck has seen dresses cut in all the styles from ballon skirts to those scarcely wide enough to allow navigation. low necks and short sleeves oh, what a world of fashion does S5 years bring forth.
 And now this old ruler of the ripplfns Alabama awaits in peace and patience the summons to join his faithful crew on the shore of that other stream that di- cides life from death, and though We trust it may be years hence. yet may he at last land safe in that part of eter- nal rest.

Hotel competition is so warm here that crookedness is being resorted to right along. For instance, the Smith hotel Is not the annex of the Jones hotel, but the public porter who meets you at the Penn- sylvania station, tells you it is and the clerk at the Smith corroborates the por- ter's statement. If you still insist upon going to the Jones, you may even be told there is smallpox there. The por- ter's ''rake-off'' varies, for such service, from 25 cents to half the amount paid by the visitor for his first days stay at the Jones. N. B.-There is no smallpox on the island.

Struggle now as when, back wonder,
 You were in the fight with men; Then there comes the gentle wakin',
 And your stiffened joints say, Just so plain there's no mistakin',
 "You are dreamin'-'tis today" And you smile at all the folly
 You've been Twin OCT again, But there's naught of melancholy
 In this dreamland of old mem Just a quiet, gentle sweetness,
 More like sunset than the dawn. Sort of rounded out completeness,
 When the pain and cares have gone. For there's some peculiar pleasure,
 When the heart and mind engage In the soft and rhythmic measure
 Of the dream-tune of old age; And a peace comes round you creepin',
 Like a laughter -softened sigh. When the gray hairs come a-peepin',
 And the years go glidin' by.
