HELPS THE TOWN

William H. Sadler, assistant city at
torney, said: birmingham seems to be
in better condition today than it
has for years. 1t strikes me that the
building of the golf course simply
shows that its people are for anything
that helps the town. The course will
not only be one of the prettiest spots
in the city, but it will also be one OF
the greatest means of entertaining the
citizens Green Springs is a beautiful
srot. When the course is laid off and
the club house finished, there can be
no finer links in the country"
Z. V. Hayes says he notices that peo-
pie of all classes are for the golf
course. Men, women and children
seem to have united to pull for the
golf course" he said. 81 have never
seen a movement that received more
praise from SO many different classes
of people. / hope this golf course will
be built and another started within a
short time. After one Is completed it
will be necessary to build another in
order to accommodate the crowds"

said Mr.. Kaufman. vi cannot see anv
reason why everyone should not be
heartily in favor of this forward move
ment which means progress. Anvth;nf,
that tends to better the city should
have the Endorsement of the general
public. Golf is great form of exer-

But Shanes last hour was on the
scales of destiny. His overbearing
ways had won him more serious foes
in Ulster itself than in England. Ger
aldines, Maguires, and O'Donnells
hemmed him in on every side. He
was compelled to retreat to his last
fortress on the banks of Tough Neagh
the sacred lake of the ONeills. This
fortress he genially christened Fuath
ma Gall (hate of the foreigners)! In
his extremity he was compelled to
make alliance with his old enemies
the Redshanks. Before they could
come to his assistance he had been
routed by the avenging O'Donnells
The Four Masters record the last
battle of Shane O'Neill-called the
Proud:
However, the Cinel-Owen (O'Neills)
were at length defeated by dint of
fighting and forced to abandon the
field, and retreat by the way they
had come. 1t was not easy, for the
tide had flowed into the Fearsad, but

in pursuit of them compelled them to
face it. Eagerly they plunged into

who had come at his summons out of
Scotland. The MacDonnells prepared
him a banquet. But high words arose
between his followers and the Scots,
and Shane was cut down by ciaymores

been obviated by an accidental brawl.
The body of Shane, covered only by a
kern's shirt, was flung into the old

Channel at the news of his death. An
act of parliament was passed pro-
claiming the blood of O'Neill to be
corrupt and disabled forever" All
the rights and tributes and jurisdic-
lions of the O'Neill were swept aside.
O'Neill land passed into the queens

Great, cousin to st. Patrick, friend to

Shane was excessively busy in
London. He plotted cheerfully with
the Spanish ambassador which threw
the foreign ministry into alarm, and
he so impressed the queen that she
was willing he should remain
"O'Neill," though she continued to
retain her own candidate up her
sleeve.
On his return to Ireland Shane set
about invading Tirconnell as tributary
to the O'Neill. AS matter of fact
the O'Donnell had been declared ex-
empt from his levies, but Shane could
not keep his hands out of the heredi-
tary feud between Cinel-Connal and
Cinel Owen. 1t was feud SO per-
manent and intense in Irish history
Connal had been born at grips with
one another. 1t was feud that was
to lose Shane the O'Neillship and to
lose Ireland Ulster. For the time in
deed Sussex was glad to keep the
peace and bide his time The name
of "ONeill' was confirmed to Shane
until the queen should decorate him
by another more honorable name"
To consolidate the peace and to
celebrate the agreement, Sussex sent
Tl,11,
which Shane most unwisely essayed to
drink the queens health. AS result
he and his chief gentlemen found
themselves temporarily poisoned;
Shane demonstrated with some indig-
nation. but it was the carrier of the
wine and not Sussex who was impris-
oned for the offense. Meanwhile,
Shane continued to rule Ulster but
not by any means as a successful ban
dit rules the valleys from his throne
upon the mountains. Poets and men
of literature were supported under his
patronage.
Shane's undoing proceeded not
from the castle, but from himself In
once promised to treat the mercenary
Scots as though they were his own en-
emies. His promise to the queen,
coupled with some annoyance at the
position of the MacDonnells had ac-
ouired in Antrim, brought him into ac-
ton. At Glenflesk he routed the Red
shanks and slew Angas and Shemus
mcdonnell. Carried away by his
own success, he proceeded to sweep
Ulster as with a broom. The earl of
Kildare he thrust out of Dundrum and
Bagenal out of Newry. Sidney, who
was once more deputy, made some ef-
fort to parley, but Shane's pride spoke
out in historic utterance. Never was

freedom. 1t well befitted one whom
