PASSING of Great
MaHhodlise Divine


ID ISHOP ALPHEUS w. WILSON
w of the Methodist Episcopal
church, south, who died at his home in
Baltimore yesterday, aged 80, was a
preacher of rare power right up to the
last. Although man of robust APP
pearance he never felt in sound health,
and his friends had little hope that
his intellectual faculties would remain
fresh and keen after he had rounded
out his fourscore years. But when
he took part in the proceedings of the
North Alabama conference, early in
the present month, his virility was
remarked; and on conference Sunday,
when he preached at the Highlands
church in Birmingham, those who
heard him marveled at his eloquence
and his sustained effort. 1t was one of
the greatest sermons ever heard in
this city.
Bishop Wilson belonged to a gen.
GRAFTON that produced mighty preach
ers in the Methodist denomination,
and any one Of them who got to be a
bishop was man of exceptional ad-
ministrative capacity as well as pull
pill orator. In these modern days the
acceptable preacher condenses his
message into 20 or 80 minutes. And
the short sermon has many things to
give it appeal, but Bishop Wilson
preached from an hour to an hour and
a quarter-as a rule, one hour and
20 minutes. Did he hold the I'M
divided attention of his hearers? In
variably, and more remarkable still
his discourse was always based ON
severe logic, and would have been dry,
perhaps, but for the bishops quick
spiritual discernment and the happy
way he had of presenting gospel
truth, even when he was thinking in
metaphysical as well as scriptural
terms. Unlettered people never failed
to understand him. He seldom en-

bellished his sermons with metaphor
and he could preach for an hour and
twenty minutes without using a single
smile or quoting a line of poetry.
And yet his audience was spell-bound
by the very force of his reasoning and
the clarity of his expression.
No discourse of his ever seemed
long. When this great master of the
homiletic art finished and took his
seat everybody felt as if he had
stopped much too soon.
Of all the potential figures that
have witnessed for Methodism from
Wesley's time until now, not many
have measured up to the lamented
Alpheus Wilson. He was beloved by
old and young alike ana his memory
Will long be cherished.
Great Work Dome
For Muscle Shoals
m HE AGE-HERALD congratulates
y the Board of Trade which has
aided so materially in arousing interest
in the Muscle Shoals project. The sue
cess of the recent Muscle Shoals din
ner and the quick response to the call
for subscriptions to make up the sum
of $4,000 tentatively promised, came as
the elimination of weeks of effort on
the part of DR.. j. H. finder, president
of the board, and his fellow members.
Now that the Board of Trade,
Chamber of Commerce and other civic
bodies of the district are cooperating
heartily in the campaign to get the
government nitrate plant located in
the south, victory seems assured. In
fact, it is considered certain by those
in a position to know that Muscle
Shoals will be the site chosen.
For while it looked as if Birming-
ham business men had allowed other
matters, to engage their attention to
the exclusion of the nitrate plant.
However, they soon awoke to the re-
alization that the natural advantages
of Muscle Shoals, while they had an
important bearing, might fail to in
fluence the government sufficiently
against strong competition elsewhere.
With commendable alacrity the Board
of Trade set to work. The Chamber of
Commerce lent its aid and the pros
poets are now exceedingly bright for
the location of the nitrate plant in the
south, where it is needed most and
where the advantages offered far sur
pass those of any other place in the
United States.
In his address at the Tutwiler Prof.
w. G. Waldo of Vanderbilt brought
out one point that should be empha-
sized. While in time of war the plant
would be depended on to provide
nitric acid for making munitions, a
far more lasting and beneficial result
will be the manufacture of fertilizers
which will enrich the farmers of the
nation.
1t is also significant that Senator
Bankhead thinks the government, in
stead of $2O,0OO,OOO, may spend $4O,-
coo, 900 or $6O,OOO,OOO on the plant.

Birmingham Route
Best for Highway

y was supposed to select for the
official route from Nashville to New
Orleans the line with the greatest
mileage of hard roads. At any rate
the quality of the roadbed was to be
considered first and was practically to
determine the question.
But the Mississippi route got the
decision. AS the Alabama route has
many more miles of hard macadam
road than the Mississippi route the
award should have come this way. 1t
is evident that the directors of the
association were swayed by sentiment.
But suppose longer jackson trail is
found in our sister state, it is scarcely
fair that Alabama's great physical
advantages were overlooked. Of
couse, it would be impossible to satisfy
every town striving to get on the
Jackson highway map, but the largest
good from the viewpoint of the tour
list should be considered. A branch Of
ficial highway through Birmingham
and Montgomery will be discussed at
a meeting to be held in this CITY within
the next ninety days.
If Mississippi had better roads than
Alabama no one would have found
fault with yesterdays decision. But
even with the official route through
Mississippi large part of the auto
car tourist travel will come to Bir-
mingham. No parties autoing for
pleasure or on business would think
of coming to this section of the south
without looking up the greatest city
between Louisville and New Orleans;
in many respects the greatest city in
all the south.
Birmingham enjoys a unique dis
tinction. 1t has enchanting scenery
inside of the corporate limits; it has
the most attractive golf links in the
south, the most sumptious hotel in
the south and the most wonderful in
dustrial plants in the south. Tourists
may not care for blast furnaces or
steel mills or the last word in ore

north CAROLINA'SPART
in civil WAR LAUDED
Representative Stedman Tells Confed-
crate Veterans of Enviable Record
Made by State.

Representative Charles NJ. Stedman, of
North Carolina, spoke to the Confederate
Veterans Association OF the District last
night. His subject was THE Record of
North Carolina in the War Between the
States"
The part acted by North Carolina in
the war between the States" said Mai
Stedman, history will ever preserve
without blemlsh upon its pages. 1t has
long since passed beyond the pale of
legitimate controversy that IN the num-
Der OF troops furnished to the Southern
Confederacy in proportion to its white
population and in the losses sustained
by those troops, she stands first of all
the States which made up the galaxy Of
great names.
No troops in any corps Of the Con-
federate army were more thoroughly
equipped and provided for in every way
necessary to their efficiency and COM
fort, both as to arms, food, and cloth
ing than were the soldiers from North
Carolina.
North Carolina was next to the last
State to secede from the Union, and in
February, 1861. voted against secession
by more than $1,000 majority, yet with a
white population Of g.. 942, and a mill
tary population Of lis, 369-one-ninth of
the military population of the eleven
States that seceded-she sent to the Con-
federate army 125,oOO men, one-fifth of
its entire enrolment of 100000.
"Of the ninety-two regiments which
assailed and defeated the right flank of
McClellan's army in front OF Richmond
forty-six were from North Carolina. OF
the sixteen brigades engaged in the first's
days fight at Gettysburg seven were from
North Carolina The First North Caro-
lima Regiment was first to arrive at
Bethel and over 500 of the 100 present
when the action commenced were from
North Carolina"
