 TOLD BY LATE DIR. STAGG

Annston, December 29.-(Special.) ) Dr. John w. Stagg, who died recently at a Carolina resort was formerly president of the Alabama Presbyterian college in this city and during that time he won wide recognition as a lec- tprer being one of the best negro dfalecticians in the south. Dr. Stagg originated several very clever jokes in negro dialect which he was very fond of telling.
 One day on his return from Mont gomery Dr. Stagg related a joke that he learned while talking to Dr. Durr of the Durr Drug company, having to do with a negro that had died and come back to life. He was cited to the negro by pr. Durr and began to question him about the incident.
 "Is that right, Henry?" Dr. Stagg asked.
 "Yassir. jes' lak he tell you" re- piled the negro.
 e"Well, how about it?"
 "Well, cap'n, you see, I wuz livin' down dar in Pike county, an long Tout spring An gifts sorter punk like. Dey talks me, wrops nah jints in bur- dock root an grease me up wid bug gard grease but 'taint done no good. Soon's de col ar O winter hits me. Is

 l. To study problems of 1nterna- tional law in an endeavor to deflne and develop principles of justice that can be applied to relations between all the American states.
 ?. To build up a system or Justlce for all that the governments or the 21 American states will be glad to adopt as standard of internatlonai law between the Americas.
 3, To slowly expand this system un. til the appeal of the leaders or thought in the American countries Will extend over the whole domain or m = ternational relations and thus slowly cement the friendship of the people or the whole world.
 The ambassador from Chile, Dr. Don Eduardo Suarez Mujica, and Ehhu Root both leaders in the institute movement, were among the other speakers.

GERMAN PEACE TERMS

Berlin. December 29-(Via. London. 1.-The Vossische Zeitung, commenting on the article published in the Neue zuericher Zeitung, which purported to outline the terms upon which Germany is ready to consider peace, says it thinks the mo- ment has not arrived for the discussion of definite peace terms. The publication in neutral countries of Germanys ostensi- ble peace terms says the Vossische Zei- tung, probably was designed to start a general discussion of the matter with quite another purpose than the bringing about of an understanding between the belligerents. The Zuericher Zeitung's ar ticle errs in assuming that Germany alone will fix the central powers peace terms, as these terms will be arrived at through a consultation with Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey"

 In appreciation of your generous act in giving the Confederate veterans of Jeffer- son county-"the best men on earth, the heroes of the south-free entertainment at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon to witness that grandest of all 'portrayals of the tragic times of '61 to '65,' by Da- vid W.

 This great moving picture now on at the Jefferson should be witnessed by every young man and maiden for miles around Birmingham. It shows what their fathers and grandfathers, as near as dramatiza- ton will allow, the awful trials we en- dured in those four memorable years. But these are not the most thrilling scenes in the picture. The Coming of the was a neighborhood fight between former wa sa neighborhood fight between former friends of the white race-the true against the renegade-and the arraignment Of our former friendly slaves against their now downtrodden masters. Downtrodden, put determined by the grace of God, not to stay in that condition: hence the 'com- ing of the clansmen." Yes, I was thrilled with emotions of sadness and joy from the rising of the curtain till it's final fall. I am glad of heart it is all over, but will never cease to regret that it had to end under superior numbers and re- sources" as Lee said at AppomattoX.
