PRISONER OF WAR.

Of his Experience as Pris-
oner for a Few
Hours.

Two. days before the battle of
Charlottesville my company was
on the picket line fronting the fed
eral pickets. We were about two
hundred yards apart; there was a
iIfenee between the two lines, and
weswere ordered to cross this fence
and drive the federal line back over
the hill. Every fellow mounted the
fence and moved forward firing as
weFadyanced. We very soon found
| that we were face to face with a
strong picket line of cavalry. The
horses were back under the hill, and
my command was ordered to retreat
back over this high fence in double
quick time. When we got about
ten Yards from the fence we saw
the cavalry coming at full speed:
1t had rained the night before and
the rails were wet and slippery,
and every fellow got over safe but
me. The top rail which was do
ing my best to scale happened
to be a slick round pole, and it

SALE OF CATTLE.
Through Cooperative Selling
on Part of Farmers. Green
wood Sells Cattle Fos
Good Prices.

The cattle sale yesterday proved
to be great success in more ways
than one. Mr.. w. w. Long, Prof.
Williams and Demonstration Agent
Farris were highly pleased over the
attendance and the general interest
shown. It showed clearly that
good cattle in marketable condition
would command good price and
that scrub cattle were not in de-
mand for beef purposes unless they
were real fat. There was strong
demand among all the outside buy
ers as well as the local buyers for
steers and fat cows. but cows that
were not in good market condition
were not in demand. The top prices
of yhe sale were brought by cattle
belonging. to- II. NJ. Arlington which
brought $500 per hundred, and
were bought by buyer represent
ing Swift and Compan" of New
York City. A baltimore buyer
bid s6. 80 per hundred on these cat
tie but As he did not get carload
"t cattle the next highest bid was
taken, as the buyers bid with a
privilege of a carload. The fat
steers and COWS brought IS so per
hundred, and ranged down as low
as s4.oO per hundred according to
condition. The average price OF
cattle sold was trifile under So 100
per hundred. This is considered
very satisfactory when the very un-
stable markets and the average con-
dilion of the cattle is taken into
consideration. y

COMMITTEE WILL
 MAKE REPORT TODAY
To Discuss Redemption Fea- ture of Mortgages at
 Realty Mems Lunch

Alabama is the only state in the south that has any period at all for redemption of mortgage on real estate after fore closure. This is the statement made in the report of the special committee of the Birmingham Real Estate exchange. composed of Alan Jemison and T. P. weekly luncheon meeting of the exchange at the Tutwiler hotel today.
 The committee recommends law to be enacted by the state legislature to re- duce the period of redemption in Alabama from two years at present, to six months. The proposed reduction. it IS claimed, will attract more outside capital and tend to reduce the rate of interest on borrowed money. The commttees report follows
 From our correspondence in regard to the period of redemption after foreclosurs in various states, we find that AabsD-a is the only state in the south that has any redemption period at all.
 Tn our letters of inquiry we asked for an opinion as to what effect long period of redemption would hav@, and In every instance it was stated tflat re- demption period as long as two years would have decided tende,iey to make money loaned on real esta te seek other avenues for investment We found in states where there was ,io redemption period that mortgager was usually able to borrow more money on his real es- tate, and in some cases the legal rate of interest was lower. We believe, there fore, that q shorter peripd or redemption would have favorable eHect In two ways, both by enabling property owners to borrow more freely oH their properties and also by attracting optside capital.

Will Attempt to Decrease the Appointive Power of
 the GOevrnOr
TO WORK AGAINST
 STATE BOND ISSUE
Want to Divide Remaining Session So That Solons May Serve Ten Days During January or Fehru-
 ary Next Year

The prohibition or majority faction of the legislature will, it is indirectly learned, endeavor to take from the gov ernor the appointive power insofar as the convict bureau and the tax com mission is concerned; win defeat the bond issue as proposed by the admin istration, and will divide the remainder of the session in that the general ss- sembly might serve 10 days during January or February, next year.
 The legislators who were assemhl sd in Birmingham yesterday are said to have agreed on the above programme Yesterdays session of the recess com mittees on finance and taxation and in vestigation was featured, in addition to the foregoing agreement, by the read ing of the report of the Investigating committee. The report was pleasing to the membership of the taxation ccm- mittee. and surprising, in that it was conservative in tone and entirely lack ing in the sensations which it promised to produce,
 For the general public nothing Is given out by the committees However it is learned that the report of 're probe committee will be in the language of a member of the taxation commit tee mild and conservative IL will roc ommend. among other steps, the aboli~ tion of the convict lease system, and will endeaVor to put into effect cer- tain reforms which are calculated to reduce the expenses of the operation of the government
 The two committees agreed to sup port in the legislature the work of each other. It was announced that in Montgomery July &, the three commi . tees would confer, and that the report of the judiciary committee. provided the members of that committee can ever agree. will be adopted by the mem bership of the other recess committees, and will be enacted by a vote of the majority faction. Into law
 Nothing official is made known re- garding the work of the committees yesterday, although 1t Is considered cal tain that the agreement to defeat the bond issue, and to deprive the goyerror of the right of appointing members of the convict bureau and the tax commits sion was reached.

Official Announcement by G. G. Crawford-Another Ore Mine Near Ishkooda to Be Opened

Alice furnace of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company. located in Birmingham. will be blown in within the next week or two. according to official annonncement made yesterday by Presi- dent George. Gordon Crawford.
 Furnace No. al Ensley is to be blown in within the next few days. as was an- nouneed several days ago. When both No. at Ensley and Alice resume ac- tlvities, eight of the 12 furnaces of the tennessee company in the Birmingham district will be in operation-six at Ensley. one at Oxmoor and one in Birmingham. The four idle furnaces are at Bessemer Alice furnace is located at Eleventh street and the Louisville and Nashville railroad.
 Ore mine No. 10, near Ishkooda, has been placed in operation by the Tennes- see company, also to supply ore for the additional furnaces being placed rn blast. Alice furnace has been idle for about 20 months, having gone out of blast october IS, 1913.
 The Ensley steel plants of the Tennes- see company are now operating at about 70 per cent capacity, it is understood. with
  throughout the summer and probaoIy an increase
 Increased activity of furnaces In the Birmingham district, announcement being made few days ago that the Woodward Iron company will also place into blast an additional furnace, is attributed to comparatively low yard stocks of eig iron in the district and to anticipation of cer- tain new business. While the pig Iron market remains rather inactive and has been so for the past two months stocks in furnace yards throughout the district are generally understood to have reached lower levels than for sometime. Movement of iroa on old orders has been going on for the past few months with considerable consistency The re- suit is operators find stocks have reached that level at which they experience trouble in filling orders for the different analyses called for and this together with pros pective new business has resulted in the resumption of furnaces and mine opera tions recently announced.
 The whole industrial outlook in the Birmingham district is generally consio- cred to be steadily growing more encour- aging and prophecies are already heard that return to normal conditions will be realized in the near future.
 Number foundry, Birmingham, Is still quoted at s10 for second half delivery, an advance of 50 cents over prices during the spring. Offered business during the past week is known to have been refused by one company at s9.7o for No. foundry, although it appears there is some busi- ness being closed at that figure for i'm mediate shipment.

 Jefferson County Savings Bank

General praise of all persons con nected with the reorganization of the Jefferson County Savings bank is con tajned in a formal statement issued yesterday by McLane Triton. as foI- lows:
 I am delighted with the successful outcome of negotiations between the state department of banking and MT. jackson, which will shortly result in the payment In full of the Jefferson County Savings banks depositors. From the day Mir Waiser appointed me agent in charge of liquidation l have worked with this end in view and never gave up hope even when others were discouraged or had quit There Is glory enough for all. but MT. Walker for the splendid way he conducted the negotiations the past two weeks.
 I think full credit should be given 10 MT. McGaughy too, for his unselfsh course in the premises. When MT. Me- Gaughy arranged with Mir. Walker for the organiza tion of the Jefferson Trust company he disposed of his Gadsden interests and surrendered his position With the First National of that city. MT. Richard Wilkes. the cashier se- l.cted also resigned as state bank cx- aminer Notwithstanding the fact that these gentlemen had burned their bridges they cheerfully stood aside and released Mir. Walker from all ob- legations to them while the final ef- fert to reorganize the Jefferson Coun- ty Savings bank was being made.
 "It goes without saying that the old stockholders and the new interests associated with them are to be con kratulated and I sincerely trust they V Ill be well rewarded in future by to Birmingham and an earnest of their own energy and ability.
 My experience as agent the past ne as residence in Birmingham has cn over a half million of the Jeffer- soD's assets is less than 2 per cent. Not single suit has been filed against the bank since its failure, January 2S. Borrowers of the old bank have net been submitted to unjust or unneces- sary hardships. MT. Walk CT has ex- pressed satisfaction with my handling of affairs. and this is sufficient for n(y own The result is tribute to the ef- forts of the Alabama Bankers asy6- citation to establish wise banking law in this state, to Governor OEeal for appointing MT. Walker to erforce the law and to Governor Henderson fci keeping MT. Walker in poAition which I hops h1 VIII hold for lifsl"
