WHEN PATRIc HENRY PRO-
a. CLAIMED INDEPENDENCE

The people of Virginia had a very
important place among the Ameri.
can colonies when their troubles with
England began to draw toward them
the eyes Of all the statesmen of Eu-
rope. They were mostly royalists and
Church of England people. When af.
fairs were drifting toward the great
crisis In other, colonies Virginia SEEM
led to be loyal to royal authority. But
patience eventually was changed to
dissatisfaction.
The burgesses went into session in
the old capitol at williamsburg, and
the spectacle was imposing. The
speaker sat on dias under a red
canopy supported by gilded rod and
the clerk beneath with the mace ly-
ing on the table before him to indi-
cate that the assembly was in full
session. The members, ranged in
long rows, were the most eminent men
of Virginia and evidently approach
ed the great business before them, re-
sistance to the stamp act, with deep
feeling.
The issue before the assembly was
serious. The general sentiment was
in favor of further circumstances and
memorials. Other felt that the only
course to pursue now was to speak
out plainly. In the midst of the gen.
eral doubt and hesitation there arose
an almost unknown young man.
His name was Patrick Henry. What
he offered was a set of resolutions
which he had written on the blank
leaf torn from an old lawbook.
When Henry read his pencil written
resolutions the assembly felt that they
represented strong language. An ex-
cited debate followed, in which these
resolutions were opposed by the alb
lest members present. But the elo-
quence of the poor young lawyer of a
mere county court supporting, as At
did, the only manly course for the
colony moved the stately old burgess
es in spite of themselves and COM
mitted Virginia to resistance.-Phila-
delphia Press.

COAL OPERATORS WILL BE RECEIVED
 BY GARFIELD TODAY
J. H. Barr Left Yesterday to Join Party of Birmingham Men Now in Washington on Price
 Mission

The Morris w. Bush committee rep resenting in Washington the Alabama Coal Operators association, will today face the crisis in its fight for a read justment in the price scale for Alabama coal as recently enunciated by President Wilson.
 The committee, which has been In the capital for 10 days. will be received at F o'clock by Dr. H. A. Garfield, coal administrator of the government pr. Garfield, it Is understood, has agreed carefully to hear and investigate the contentious of Alabama operators. To the adminitrator the operators will sheets of every company in the Birming- ham district for the past 14 months.
 Interest in the situation was accen- tuated yesterday when 1t became known that J. H. Barr, chairman of the board of directors of the First National bank, had left for Washington In response to call from the Bush committee.
 Operators in Birmingham consider it a good omen that pr. Garfield has agreed to give local conditions a close scru- tiny. They believe that when all facts are known, the government will recog- nize the alleged unfairness in prices set by the President, and will. in conse- quence, order still more minute in- vestigation by Its agents. Operators contending that they cannot continue business under the Presidents terms declare that all they desire Is general knowledge on the part of those in au- thority of local conditions.

FOUND
 INTENSE INTEREST
 ALL ALONG ROUTE
Relates Incident to Show How People Welcomed the Bankhead High
 way Scouts

Col, Thomas L. Plowman of Talla- dega, president of the Bankhead High way association, declared in Birming- ham last night that no one could eX aggerate the interest displayed by the people of the country in the proposed construction of the national road
 Regarding the recent tour of the pathfinders from Atlanta through Bir mingham to Memphis, Colonel Flow man related the following incidents
 At Sand Hill, village of one store church. a school and blacksmith shop 10 miles this side of Carroll ton, Ga. 375 automobiles were parked when we arrived. On the ground were 5000 people, each bearing products of the culinary art and the farm by which to prove their industry and interest in national preparation When won dered how such a crowd could have been gathered at such q small village, q gentleman named Richardson told me that he had talked over the tele
 phone the night previous to everybody in the county-that he retired from the wire Just as day was breaking. At Bowden, Ga, 2000 people met us, and despite a rain stood to hear the speaking."
 The trip was marred by distress ing accident Colonel Plowman told the story as follows:
 "At New Albany, Miss. I was intro duced to Congressman Hubert Steph lens. He presented his little son, just 6 years old. An hour later this boy was struck by an incoming passenger i train. The report was circulated that he had been killed Mir Stephens, on the train which struck the boy, took him, apparently dying, to Memphis The | horror stricken crowd was dismissed. l T have just heard the cheering news that the little fellow, despite a l broken skull. broken arm, and a brok en leg, will recover"
