to be baptized in the swimming hole, as his father was in the days of Anse's repentance While yet the light holds out to burn" and Cap Hatfield was the vilest sinner of the feudal family. Probably to himself and his kinsmen he had the glamour of mountain chiyalry, but the outer world knew him less as well as the armed in his hate Q fthe McCoys and his utter disregard for lava law to which the clan ap- pealed only when it's machinery might dispose of particularly tough Mccoy
 The younger Hatfields must be sick of feud that ragged nearly 30 years. The youngest of the men who used a rifle in it should be above 40. Cap Hat field, who did his first killing in 1880. is in his sixties. Many of the weary why they should pot one another in memory of the two hogs over which Randall Mccoy ard Anderson Hatfield quarreled decades ago, slipped to oth- CT scenes. Hatfield entered state politics and conferred new dignity on the family. And then the war showed the young mountain men how small their feuds had been.
 With Randall Mccoy and Devil Anse' in Walhalla and Cap Hatfield stepping from the stool of repentance to the chill baptismal pool the tradi- tions of the feud are utterly gone. deader than the hogs that began it. If any Hatfield or Mccoy offends in future. he cannot honestly plead fam fly quarrel. And it is unlikely that he will fare as luckily as Cap Hatfield. who, for all his murders, never stayed in prison more than three months

F # T Railroads Appreciate the Export Problem

@ HIPPERS of iron and steel prod 0 ucts, who have held confer ence with the southeastern freight rate committee in Atlanta, with re- gard to readjustment of export rates to gulf and south Atlantic ports, are understood to have returned from that conference with the feeling that the railroads realize the crisis and will meet it.
 Birmingham has done a large ex- port business, not only to Cuba, her natural trade territory because of it's proximity and the quickness with which deliveries can be made, but an
 equally important export business has been. done with South America, Japan and other countries. This for eign business has been completed, put on ships and delivered. There have been no additional orders booked in several months.
 The export rates, which, since the freight rate increase process began, have become so high as to be prac- tically prohibitive, stand in the way of the competition that Birmingham steel and iron products must meet to do this export business. Britain, Germany and Belgium wish the busi- ness of South America and Japan quite as we'll as this country, and they bid for it. The Birmingham producers of pipe, pig iron, rails and plates cannot obtain their share of this trade without the cooperation of their transportation allies.
 It is encouraging to learn that the railroads regard this problem in something like the same light as the shippers and it is also encouraging to know that the representation was made to the railroads not by single industries here and there, but by the united forces of the iron and steel products shippers of the south with all their combined strength and influence.

A CALL FOR BARABBAs

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 When Pontius Pilate asked the crowd whether it would have Christ or Bar abbas released. at the time of the Pass over the mob shouted for Barabbas,
 John Robert Clynes. who has won the general respect of those who are sin cerely seeking light on England's tan gled social and industrial problems, was shouted down at meeting or the un- employed at Camberwell. We want revolution." they cried. We want soviets!"
 Yet these men who cheered for the scommunism" of Red Russia knew iron. the reports of their own brethren what things are done in Russia today to make life intolerable for the industrious. the respectable. the law-abiding. They turn their back on the light and give their vote for Barabbas.
 Such incendiaries consult only their own delirious desire for confiscation and destruction; they do not look be- yond a present chance to take what they have not earned They do not ask where Barabbas would lead them. They want him because they are tired of re- straint and he seems to promise free kxein to every lawless. brutal instinct. We have some of the same peopl

Tuscaloosa Country Club

Tuscaloosa is at last to have real country club" said Sam Friedman, prominent business man of that city who was in Birmingham yesterday.
 For many years we have been talk ing about such a club, but something always happened to make us put it off.
 Practically all the business and professional men of the city have signed up and we are assured good, strong club at an early date. We have had golf course, but have decided to move to a larger and better loca- tion and have an up-to date country club. It is probable that the site to be selected will be near the Warrior river back of the old Mayfield place.
 You tell our Birmingham friends who have for so many years entertained us at their country club that we will soon be in position to reciprocate. This is just one of the many things that indicate the growth and development of Tuscaloosa. Just because lumber hit the toboggan and cotton prices took an awful slump, we refused again to postpone getting our, country club"

In 1s4S "The Battle of Buena Vista" was presented in Pittsburg and .Ben Rolt.. was sung in one of the scenes The great popularity of the song dates from that time. The play has long since beer, forgotten, but the song is a classic English died April l, 1902, in Newark. N. J.
 Ben Bolt'' was extensively parodied for half century. A race horse, a ship and steamboat were named for it. Dr. Eng fish remarked. grimly that the shin was wrecked, the steamboat blown un and fhe horse turned out a selling platter. But the song went right on. Du Maurier for some reason chose it when he wrote '~rril- by" thinking 1t to have been an ola English melody. This helped to keep it alive
 pr. English would have liked to be known for other and more substantial achievements. He contributed as pub licist to the anpexation of Texas, and by a speech made at a critical moment in the Virginia democratic convention of 1855 he put the snuffer on know noth- ingism in that state. He served in the New Jersey legislature during the Civil war, and in 1890 was elected to Congress. where he was received with marked con sideration. not so much as a congress- man as the author of the song
 He wrote 50 plays. more than 1000 poems and one novel, which was pub lished anonymously. But his fame rests entirely upon the one song, which literary critics make little of and which he him self held in small regard

'The reason Mir Bum and I went to Gadsden in that freight rate matter was to see that Birmingham was not punished in the name of Gadsden," :" said Charles Jones, assistant manager of the traffic bureau.
 "Gadsden seems to have rates from those to other Alabama cities. We are with Gadsden in asking relief but we were there to see that Gadsden did not get relief by having rates to Bir- lineup.

Lack of Consideration

The people of Birmingham have a very bad habit of getting up and leav- ing the theatre before the finale is over" said Dr. F. R. smith. T have noticed since l came here that just as soon as this starts. the people begin to leave the theatre. thus annoying others who wish to hear it all. l have spoken to several about it and they always say they are anxious to get out.
 Tt seems to me that people hsould be just little bit more considerat te of other people and not annoy them when they have come to enjoy the show and wish to remain until 1t is over. l have visited many large cities, but I don't think I ever noticed this practice as bad as it is right here. It is very annoying to the persons trying to entertain you as well as those who are attending"

Breaking With Cattle

T came up to sell load of cattle" said M. G. Hightower of Sylacauga. While the market has broken all over the country on cattle, l fear it will take a long time to get the peo- pie in my section to attempt to raise much more pure-bred stuff
 Tt is true that the fall in cattle has not been any more marked than in mules and other livestock, and as a matter of fact in cotton or other farm produce yet somehow. as far as I am able to size up the situation the peo- pie of Talladega county are aban- donng cattle raising.
 q do not know of any who will continue the cattle industry on a large scale. It may be that later some of those who are best fitted for it will get back into it, but at present every body is out of it.'
