LEGION FUN BRANCH IS ID INITIATE CLASS
New "48 and 8 Society,"" Re- gently Organized, Shows
 Large Growth

The first initiation of members into tho local voiture of La societe Ma tionale des 70 Hommes ct Chevaux." commonly known as the 40 and s society" will take place Friday night at the Hillman hotel. when a class of 15 P. G,'s will be inducted Into the organization.
 The local branch or voiture, which is part of the national organization, was formed several weeks ago, but will have it's first meeting Friday night. The membership in the or ganization is limited to male members of the American Legion who have rendered conspicuous service for the American Legion and for the ex- service men. Membership is by invi- tation.
 Aims of Organization
 The purposes of the organization, which has spread throughout the country, and which has the hearty support and Endorsement of the American Legion, is to provide a fun making branch of the legion. It Is pointed out that the purposes of the American Legion are and must con tinue to be of more or less serious uAhuIc anu that IL IS seemingly m n- possible within the organization and at the meetings of the legion to in- dulge in the fun making and the so- cial activities which are desirable To meet this need and in order that there might be no effort to change the purposes of the American Legion La Societe Rationale des 40 Hommes ct Chevaux" or the 40 and S's"awas launched.
 The organization gained it's name from the little box cars which were used so generally in transporting American soldiers during the war in France, all these cars being labeled. 40 Hommes-S Chevaux," meaning 70 men or 3 horses being the capacity of the cars. The head of the local voiture is known as the chief de gare and the other offices derive their names and titles from the various of ficials of a French railway system
 Temporary officers of the local voiture are Leon c. Bradley, chef de gare; A. G. Conoley, chief de train Tom c. Estes, commissaire inten- dant: Joe K. Yates, correspondent; Matt H. Murphy. garde de la porte.
 II is stated that it is the intention of the members of the local voiture to add to the membership as rapidly as consistent and that work has al- ready started on selecting a large number of eligibles for the second class, which will be held probably the latter part of April. Since the rules of the organization allow only one voiture in a county, members from Bessemer and other places in the county are being taken into the To- cal organization.

Dey had nigger ga. who thought she knowed how to cook, but when l wuz given the chance to make biscuits one morning I had every one of desc niggers sing ing Home, Sweet Home and I'se held the job ever since"
 The average number of persons held in jail each day for the past IS months is 175 which is equal to S50 meals per day. as Joe bakes biscuits twice daily. Each prisoner is served four biscuits or a total of 1,4O0 bis cults per day, or 756,000 since Ute became cook.

Fly GEORGE 1T. WATSON

Days of slavery when negroes were bought and sold like horses and automobiles of today are recalled by examination of the records in the of flee of Probate Judge J. r. Stiles. A man making his last will and testa- ment desired te leave slave to each member of his family if able. Deeds for the sale of negroes were recorded as are deeds for land today
 The will of one Thomas MeAdory recorded June 2S. 1s20 reads as fol- lows: "In the name of God, amen, [. Thomas McAdory of Jefferson county, Alabama. being of sound mind do make and publish this my last will:
 First, l beaueath unto my beloved wife, Celia McAdory. three negroes. viz: One woman named Hannah, one boy named Clachourn and, one girl named Moria. To my eldest son. James McAdory, l bedueath one ne- gro boy, Fleming. 10 my second son one negro boy, Dandridge, ,Ao my third son, one negro boy. Sam. and to my fourth son, one negro boy, Henry. leave to my daughter, Mary McAdory a negro girl named Betty"
 There was one negro woman who had served him as trusty whom he willed to no one. TO show his appre- citation of her faithful service he pro- vided that she should be set free at the age of 40 The remainder of the estate was left to his wife.
 Several pages of the records about 1921 are taken up with recording the sale of slaves. The record of one sale reads: "For and in consideration of S525 in hand paid I agree to sell one negro woman named Patty" |
 A negro boy was sold December 22, 1920, to William Tarrant by James Curtis for s700. The negro was 20 years old. Another bill of sale records that NJ. Mead of Blount county, Ala. territory, sold five me- groes. including a mother and four children, to Samuel Alden in Tusca loosa county for S2.000.
 The earliest records at the court house date back to about 1920. There were no printed forms in those days and all deeds, bills of sales, mort gages and other legal documents were written out in full by hand, But penmanship in those days was an art, all being fairly legible and well preserved.
