 The career of MT. deLenmos in Ala bama politics is unique and has at- tracted attention of many states others than Alabama He was a member of Wilson's raiders during the civil war and when the war ended he located in Lowndes coun- ty. Republicans dominated in state politics during reconstruction days and deLenmos became a leader among republicans. By many he came to be known as 'The King of Lowndes county" When he called many answered. When issues were raised i;l politics MT. deLenmos sounded the denmoinating note. He served as probate clerk of IIowndeS county while he served as one of the dictators of politics. He was ad- mitted to the bar but gave little at tenton to practice.
 When the democrats came into power Mir. deLenmos lost his power. He moved to Montgomery where he has resided since 1880.
 The journals of the legislature of reconsideration days showed that MT deLenmos was the author of the first resolution which called for the com pulsory education of aH children.
