STATE CAPITAL BUREAU i
 THE AGE-HERALD Moutpomery Ala Ian II

To set at rest rumors which have ? been distributed that the Integrity i Mutual Casualty company of Chi cago. which carried the compensa- tion insurance on the Woodward Iron company, which company recently sustained the loss by explosion in their mine, and that the companies with which they had reinsured some of the risk, would default on pay ments, J. c. Adderly, president of ythe insuring company, has addressed letter to R. P. Coleman, insurance commissioner of Alabama.
 In this letter he says: "The fact regarding this loss and it's manner of payment are as follows: Within 20 days from the actual date of this r disaster in which 91 men were killed and as many more injured. every sin gle claim had been investigated and the amount of compensation due thereon had been computed. Payment had already been made and all burial expenses and compensation payments were being made in every case where a claim was established. The total sum necessary to pay this en- | tire loss had been paid into a spe-
 
 Underwriters Syndicate. This fund was deposited in trust for the defi nite and specific payment of this loss until every dollar of liability arising out of this disaster has been fully paid.
 "The rumors and statements to the effect that certain members of the Mutual Underwriters Syndicate would default in their obligations and refuse to pay this loss are ab- solutely and unqualifiedly false!'
 ARMSTRONG LOSES
 Hunter Armstrong, register in chaneery of Jefferson county. lost his case in the supreme court Thurs day, in which he sought to force the board of revenue of Jefferson county to return to him S1,009.16 which he alleged he erroneously paid as fees collected in cases involving the condemnation of automobiles used in transporting liquor. Mir. Armstrong alleged that he was en- titled to the fees but the supreme court held that since he was placed on a salary of s3,600, under the Jeff ferson county salary amendment, all fees earned by him became the prop erty of Jefferson county.
 The supreme court held that the

collection and retention of the fees
 by the register would be an increase
 in salary not authorized by the amendment and that if additional
 work was placed upon the register by the imposition of additional duties
 under the liquor laws it would be within the discretion of the board Of Jefferson county to provide additional assistance in the registers office.

OUR OLD IDOLS

They vanished from the boxscores long
And we lamented when we saw them
But now we never hear of them save when
Some travelling fan comes in from realms
of grass,
And tells US how the boys of old renown
Are playing in each little, one-horse town.
The mighty pitchers, whose terrific speed
Made batsfnen bite at their enormous
curves,
And those same batsmen, who, in massed
attack,
Would often shatter the same pitchers
nerves,
Still face each other-and for trivial pay
Hardly the carfare of their younger day!
They have to live. And so, when failing
speed
Takes them from where the big towns
stage the game,
They keep on at the only thing they
know-they play
Just for living-not for cheers and
fame!
Hardened, heart-calloused, footsore with
fatigue,
The men we loved now toll in each small
league!

IT'S MOSTLY UP TO YOU

When the worlds a goin' crooked,
Or it looks that way to you-
Somehow seems to be a tangle
10 most everything you do;
When you start out of a mornin
With your luck runnin' wrong,
The birds along your pathway
Have harshness in their song
And the grass, though soft as velvet,
You will sort O stumble through,
Sich times, if you want things better
Friend, it's mostly up to you.
'Taint hard smilin' with the sunshine
But it's durin' stormy spells,
When our weary feet are slippin',
That the stuff what's in us tells.
No-you won't have flowers allus
In the paths you travel through;
Still, if you would have things better,
Friend, it's mostly up to you.

Of my ills and cares l am disarmed,
The burrows too have left my brow"
