STRANGE COURT HAS
 SESSIONS IN SHED
Negroes Are Very Strict and Punishment Is
 Severe

Anniston, July 29.-(S Special. )-The judiciary at Anniston is perhaps as wideawake as any in the United States, but there is one court goes into session every Monday morning of which the local bar is probably una- ware. This court is known as the An niston dray line court and holds trials every Monday morning in the alley be- hind the Alabama Power company building on Tenth street.
 The A. D. L. court is not a new or ganization, but has been in effect for the past 10 years and many a dray- man has been punished for violating the laws of the court Officers are elected each year. to make the laws and see that they are enforced. John Elston is present judge; Jose Zanders sheriff. Trusty Ira Reed presides as grand master and Henry Vernon is one of the members of the council
 Some of the laws are as follows: No drayman shall jump in front of an- other who is soliciting business. No drayman shall lie. He must be truth ful at all times. No drayman shall talk to another woman but his wife. If he is single, he must inform his fellow members whom he has his eye on and shall not be caught with any other than his intended. No drunkenness or disorderly conduct allowed. No dray- man shall report to duty unless his per- sonal appearance Is neat.
 The laws are strictly enforced and all of the fines are made in nickels If the prisoner is unable to pay he takes his fines out in whipping. Tho punishment is made by the judge and when he feels indisposed the sheriff takes the whip. For an office they use the automobile shed of the Alabama Power company
 The draymen will not allow other negroes to interfere with the court. At times some other negro reports one of the draymen for some offense and is ordered to appear in court against the defendant However, when the court is called to order the drayman is released and case is made out against the witness, who is always found guilty and sentenced to whip ping. It is the history of the court that the discharged cases are few and far between and that if a negro is not found guilty of one offense, another charge is promptly made out against him.

A MASTER OF EFFICIENCY

Another feature associated With MT. Agassiz's management and direction Of this property is<to be found in the les son which he taught of the value or very high efficiency. He was able through his scientific attachments to give good counsel respecting efficiency. He was one of the first to demonstrate that if there be a better piece of machinery than the one in use, it is expedient to throw the one in use into the scrap heap ana put in the new apparatus. His scientific attainments were of utmost value at the time of the great fire in these mines for he would not permit the mines to be delueed with water but instead infused carbolic acid gas into the caverns, which quickly put an end to the flames.
 Then, too, there was the moral influ- ence instilled by Mir Agassiz and the others which made it possible to create considerable city there, where the lo'ooV inhabitants live in peace and comfort and when as evening approaches the great lifts bring the miners from the bowels of the earth they are heard sing ing the hymns that speak of peace and of religious faith, coming forth at the top of the mine still singing as thous h they were content.

AN INTERESTING BIT
 OF ]. p. A. HISTORY
 IN E-HERALD FILES
Issue of July A, 1898, Told of Smoker Held by Post B at the Morris
 Hotel

An interesting bit of T. P. A. history Is contained in the files of The Age-Herald of Sunday July A, 1S9S which tells of smoker of Post B, which was held in the parlors of the Morris hotel The story as it appeared in The Age-Herald follows:
 Last night, in the private parlors of the Morris hotel, the members of Post of the Travellers Protective associa- tion who happened to be in the city met and enjoyed one of their periodical smok- CTS. There were 15 or 20 present when the meeting was called to order at S:3O oclock, and for two hours or more the soothing smoke of good cigars and the witty expressions of these jolly knights of the grip served to make the time pass most pleasantly.
 President Louis Hart and Secretary J.. P. Lantznester, who is acting secretary in Col. E. L. Higdon's absence, were the officers present.
 Among the features of the evenings entertainment were the inimitable Irish tales of Solon Jacobs and that famous poetical recitation of o. P. Gaut's which made quite reputation for that gentle man at the national meeting of the T. P. A. at Omaha a month or two ago, as several other attractions.
 President Hart made a few remarks telling of the progress of Post B.
 "A motion was carried that each of the four posts in the state, A Mont gomery; B. Birmingham; e. Mobile and D. Selma, should prorate among themselves the debt that is due State Secretary Higdon on the Bates fund.-
 Several new members were elected to membership in the post, among them James A. Wood formerly of the Nash vile post.
 "A vote of thanks was extended to Pro- prietor c. H. Nabb of the Morris hotel for the splendid cigars he presented to the post for their smoker.
 The Birmingham post is now larger than it has ever been before in it's his- tory, and is also larger than all the other posts of the state combined. This was accomplished largely through the efforts of President Hart and Secretary Lantznester The wholesale merchants of the city are nearly all joining and are manifestns a great deal of interest in the T. P. A.
 Within F months it is thought that an interchangeable mileage ticket will be on sale on all southern roads Presi- dent Hart stated that the Illinois Gen. tral had expressed it's willingness to en- ter the scheme as soon as the Louisville and Nashville and Southern joined. This concession has been granted on all the roads of the eastern coast and as faf south as Louisville" l

How He Interested BOston's Aristocracy in Michigan's
 Copper Mines
MADE MILLIONS FOR
 FRIENDS WHO AIDED
Upper Peninsula Was Once Despised But Is Probably the Greatest Wealth Producing Section
 of America
By HOLLAND

New York, July 24-(Speeial. )-Alexan- der Agassiz's business career is coinci- dent in point of time with the life of the great copper mines of the northern penin- sula of Michigan. It is half a century since this mining company was organ ized by Agassiz and at the fiftieth an- niversary, a few days ago, Henry l. Higginson of Boston spoke at large gathering at Calumet, Mich, words of compliment and praise.
 Mr. Agassizs professional career was of greater length than his business ca reer for he was already known as a most worthy son of a distinguished father when he ventuerd into northern Michigan with intent to talke hold of the copper properties. To the world of sci ence he is as well known today as he is to the world of business, and this is a very rare achievement for any man.
 The fiftieth anniversary of the organ ization of the Calumet and Hecla mining property would have justified, had MT. Tigginson been so disposed, some refer ence to the relation which this industry bears to the prosperity of the United States to the easing wealth and espe- cially to the development of the brass
 industry in which the United States leads the world.
 First of all, the riches, yielded by the mines under the leadership, professional and business, of MT. Agassiz, were in the early years of the corporation the first evidences that the long despised and neglected upper peninsula of Mich
 oi,,np oS richest region in the United States of like area, excepting possibly one or two in California The peninsula was de- spised in the early years of our govern ment and was tossed back and forth. It was known that the Indians had dis covered and made use of copper but there was no promise of great develop ment of these copper riches. When Mr. Agassiz took hold of the property, the
 United States was producing less than 1COO tons of copper year. Within a few years we were producing nearly 1o,O0O tons of copper, and the amount ln- creased yearly until at last we gained pr e-eminence as a copper producing na- ton. When these northern Michigan copper mines were yielding abundantly there came the discovery of enormous deposits of iron ore in the upper penln- sula The exploitation of these mines was one of the great achievements ot the country. Then lumbermen who had
 utilized much of the timber of Pennsyl- vana and some of the timber of New England, went to the northern peninsula and found pine trees which, upon experi- ment were found to yield the finest kind of lumber, and these thos~ cut and mar keted in enormous amounts
 These three natural resources sk1lfully exploited made the upper peninsula or Michigan one of the worlds great centers ot wealth producing activity.

MARK TWAIN PLAY
 AT ROYAL THEhThE

"Puddy'nhead Wilson" one oi Mark Twain's immortal stories, will be presented in photcdramatic form by the Jesse L. Lasly Feature Play Company at the Royal today, with th, distinguished artist, Theodore Rob erts, in the title role. It is Para mount Picture.
 The story las to5do with Lawyer Wilson, a young man. who has come to a small Missouri town 10 practice. On his first day in the little yIilase he makes the famous rar.arA thd5 fl he owned one-half of dog he woIld kill his half. The natives could not grasp the humor of this and decided that the young lawyer was not right and this, coupled with his eccentIici- ties of speech and his hobby for se curing thumb prints from everyone with whom he came in contact, i1- duced one of the town wits to call him "Pudd' d'nhead," a nickname that re mained with him throughout his life.
 With his small glass slips. ne se- cures, among others, the finger prints of Tom Dirscoll, aged six months, and at the same time, the prints of Chanr bers, six and one-half months old baby of Roxy, a mulatto slave owned by the Driscoll family. These babies have the same father and look much alike.
 Roxy changes the babies and passes off her child as the heir of the Dris coils and makes the real heir the slave. Twenty years later, the false Tom Driscoll returns from college sells his real mother as a slave and in fit of temper, murders his wealthy uncle Tom. jealous of the interest the beautiful Rowena Cooper takes in Chambers, tries to fix the crime on him. Chambers is about to be lynched by the indignant whites when "Pudd'nhead" announces that he is the slaves attorney and insists upon a trial. Investigating the finger prints left upon the dagger that was used in the murder, Wilson traces the marks and at the trial forces ROXY, the slave, to confess that she changed the babies in their cradles. The real Tom is acquitted and goes to Rowena,
