DR. R.GEORGE A. HOGAN IS COUNTY CORONER
Appointed by Governor to Succeed Dr. Wiley, Who
 Has Resigned

Dr. George A. Hogan has been ap- pointed coroner of Jefferson county by Gov Charles Henderson to succeed Dr. c. c. Wiley. resigned. pr. Wiley for warded his resignation to the governor to be effective March l. or as soon thereafter as he could find good man with suf- ficient time to devote to the duties of the office. He stated in his letter that he had taken the office only until it's legal status could be determined, and that as this had been settled he was desrious of being relieved from further duties.
 There has been much litigation since the new act in reference to the coroner's S office went into effect on January 15. John R. T. Rives, who was elected by the people to the office, resigned when custer proceedings were brought against him on the ground that he was not a physician. Dr. Wiley was appointed by the governor and the legality of his ap- pointment was attacked in the courts. The supreme court decided the new act constitutional, and that Dr. WiIeys ap- pointment was regular. With MT. Rives as his assistant he has been exercising the duties of the office.
 Dr. Hogan, the appointee, is well known in the city, and is a brother of Dr. E. P. Hogan, a member of the legislature from Jefferson county.
 Dr. Wiley explains his position in the matter in the following letter of resgna- ton, sent to Governor Henderson:
 When I was appointed coroner of Jefferson county last month I was urged to accept the office at least long enough to get it's legal status firmly established, especially since at that time it was feared that the republicans would make an effort to gain control of the office.
 These matters I have succeeded in having thoroughly strengthened out by a recent decision of the supreme court, and in accomplishing this I feel that I have been of some service to the people of Jefferson county, and especially to the democratic party.
 My private medical practice is such that it demands all of my time and at tention. Therefore, I hereby tender my resignation as coroner of Jefferson county to take effect on March l, or as soon

ANOTHER SERVICE

San Antonio, Tex, February 24-Me- morial services in honor of the late Maj.- Gen. Frederick Funston, in which citi- zens of San Antonio and army officers participated were held this afternoon during the same hour funeral services were being held for General Funston in San Francisco. Maj.-Gen. John J. Persh-
 ing, who succeeded General Funston In command of the southern department of the army, paid tribute to his predeces- sor's memory.
 ITO those who knew him best.' said General Pershing, General Funston s personality was a perpetual charm. His friends will remember him longest for his great heart and his great soul. It is the loss of such man the army and the nation mourns. Entering the service as he did without military education, his was a difficult position as commander of older, well trained officers and men of the regular army But of all those who served under his command, I have never yet met one who has not spok in words of praise. When he died the telephone orderly at the fort sobbed as he repeated the news. Funstons whole nature was attuned to friendliness."

for us all. The Confederate reunion at Washington cannot fail to carry na- tional significance. They could never come to a better place at better time. The sight of them-the sound of them-these old men with gray heads and broken bodies and brave hearts-and above all. the love and honor, the respect and reverence shown them after 52 years of mem ory-will tell the republic some things that it needs at this time to remem Der.
 It will tell to the young American manhood of this crucial day, facing the perils of possible war, and to the pale faces of the pacifists blowing obstruction into the nations honest effort to prepare:
 l. That men who serve their own land according to their own convic- : tions and have been willing to offer their fortunes and their lives upon the altar of a peoples convictions, have never yet been forgotten and never will be forgotten by the people for whom they fought.
 ?, That it is great brave race from which we Americans come-that we are the sons of the sires'-that we are the spawn of heroes who knew how to fight and did fight as men have seldom fought before.
 3. That these are the men who faced at Gettysburg heroes of a similar strain even if from a different sec- tion. and over whose graves as that great battlefield, Abraham Lincoln spoke for the inspiration of all our history his immortal joint tribute to the "imperishable valor of American arms"
 These men in their very presence will breathe from the battlefields of lS6l-65 a message of duty and devo- tion to our country of today.

The city of Washington is our city
 our countrys capital. The north and the south and the east and the west are its owners and it's lovers. It be- longs to us all, born of our brain and our money and the genius of our i'm stitutions. It is the final capital of every citizen with a soul. The south is a whole part of the great republic, through whose veins pulses now the red blood of loyalty unclotted with a single bitter memory.
 This 4th of June should be made na- tional holiday. It carries the last great convincing scene in the mighty drama of restored and forever indissoluble union.'
 And men everywhere, north and south should unite to make it. The spirit of William Mckinley, whose generous soul declared at Macon that the time had come when the union could well afford to
 care for the graves of the Confederate dead, and the spirit of L. Q, c. Lamar of Mississippi, speaking in the Senate 30 years ago over Charles Summers bier, the
 matchless axiom "Let us know one an other better'-should unite all sections of the country to nationalize and to utilize this crowning spectacle of 1917 for re- vival of national patriotism. With hearts with voices and with gen. erous hands Americans should all do their part.
 Heretofore the southern cities that have
 entertained this vanishing host of Con federate soldiers have paid all the ex- penses of noble hospitality. Washington is a national rather than southern city. it's sectional generosity cannot be invoked And so without appeal other than the | thrilling occasion and it's meaning to all | true Americans, let the helping hand be | volunteered to the Washington commit | tee to make complete and inspiring this last great scene in the drama of re-
 united and invincible country.

Anniston. February 24.-(Special) ) A famous still in Cherokee county which was kept in the limelight for nearly half century, largely through the efforts of Will Smith, better known as Bell Tree" Smith, has at last been destroyed by Capt. J. B. Ed wards of Gadsden and John Draper of this city, two well known revenue agents, with headquarters in this sec tion
 The Bell Tree" still, so named from the fact that when the farmers of the section wanted supply of "corn jug on a stump and then rung a bell and disappeared. In an hour they would return and find the jug full of mellow, yellow corn whisky, and they professed to be in ignorance of where it came from or who made it.
 The still outfit was found Friday after a long search and was so well hidden in the wild hills of Cherokee near Blufton that the revenue men, were ready to give up the search. The rugged country, covered with thick undergrowth of briars, was almost in accessible in places and the rain fell in torrents. but it did not dampen the ardor of Edwards and Draper, who had resolved to get the bell tree out fit
 At last, after an all-day search, they found it. There were two stills in operation and a quantity of whisky and mash stored nearby. The stills, which were excellently made, were de- stroyed. the mash scattered and the whisky poured out. Then the revenue men arrested Aleck Tanner, white man, and Will Hood. negro, whom they found near the stills.
