SAVED 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS
IN DIMES AND QUARTERS
Two Children Will Now Divide This
Accumulation of Years.

NEW YORK That $4,000 had
accumulated through the placing of
dimes and quarters in family fund
was revealed when the surrogate of
Kings county received an appraisal
of the estate of Thomas Cain.
In 1883 Cain and his three chill
dren, Mary F., Anna B., and Hugh,
agreed to put their surplus dimes and
quarters every week into common
fund to care for any unexpected
needs of the family. The fund grew
to $4,000. Anna B. Cain died in
1895. Subsequently her father died.
The estate now is to be divided be-
tween Hugh and Mary F. Cain.

man. MT. Miller is lawyer of con spicuous achievement. He has served in the state senate where he acquired invaluable legislative experience. He is member of the Jefferson county board of education, where he has had opportunity to put into practical cf- feet his ideas on school and education al matters, of which he has long made a study. As lawyer he has given years of effort to business problems and is a thorough master of such prob lerns in their larger relation to the public welfare. He has devoted much study to the new three-mill tax which will be of great value to every county of the state if he is placed in position to utilize this knowledge for the bene- fit of the state at large
 Mir. Miller is a native Alabamian. Born in Morgan county, he has spent the greater part of his life in Bir- mingham, where he has taken a lead ing part in the advancement of causes which look to the upbuilding of the city and state.
 He is a type of man which Ala bama needs in the public service. AL ways an advocate of prohibition, he fa- vors the prohibition amendment but believes this will be quickly disposed of by the legislature and that other weighty problems will immediately face the Lawmakers which he can be of assistance in solving,
 The Age-Herald regards MT. Miller as peculiarly fitted for the office he seeks and takes pleasure in urging the voters to nominate him along with MT Kilby for the two highest execu- tive offices in the state.

Most Memorable
 of Celebrations

IWEsTERDAY's observance of h.
 4 dependence Day was different from all previous celebrations. The absence of festive demonstration was widely remarked and profoundly Impressive. l
 Instead of hilarity there was spon- taneous manifestation of lofty sent- ment and an all-compelling resolve to fight liberty's battle until right and justice triumph.
 The day was shot through with patriotism and the great lessons of the American Declaration of 1776 were applied to the present crisis with large and heartening effect.
 The launching of nearly one hum dred ships-the greatest addition to world tonnage on any single day in history''-was of itself enough to stir |
 the nation with pride. The war de- partments announcement that mil lion American soldiers were on the firing line and that million mo e were nder arms in training camps il this country fitted logically in the Fourth of July programme, but the outstanding feature of the day was President Wilson's inspirational mes sage delivered in the quiet shade of Mount Vernon and read with thrill at public gatherings in every city in the United States and in every town and hamlet where four-minute men were organized Never before did any President ever have the opportunity of addressing directly, so to speak, so vast a number of citizens as President Wilson talked to, heart-to- heart, yes teiday.
 1 As masterful as the Presidents speeches invariably are, that which came to us from the most hallowed spot ia old Virginia surpassed them ! all, perhaps, in convincing strength of statement and clear-cut power of depression. It was not long speech, but in following the line of discussion l in former addresses in which he sought to make our own people and all the world see clearly what we are contending for, and in which American ideals were stressed, President Will son was singularly felicitous in thought and diction.
 "There can be but one issue" he fsaid. "The settlement must be final. lThera can be no compromise No halfway decision is conceivable "~sHe then stated succinctly and in tone lat once resolute and authoritative, the ends for which "the associated peo- Eples of the world are fighting and which must be conceded them before there can be peace" ! America, already aflame with pas sion to win the war, was all the better braced for the trying days that arc to come by Woodrow Wilson's preg- nant and most memorable Fourth oi July speech.
