A Dramatic Incident

TO the EdltOr Of The Age-Herald:
 The death of Professor Burruss recalls to the mind of the writer one of the most dramatic incidents ever witnessed in Birmingham.
 In the spring of 1896 William J. Bryan spoke in the old Confederate wlgwam to an immense audience on the free coinage of silver. For over two hours he held the audience spell bound by his eloquence. When he closed Professor Burruss arose and said: "Mr. Bryan, I have listened to your speech. with a great deal of pleasure and indorse every word of it, but have one question to ask i: If the democratic party nominates a gold man on gold platform will you support him?" Bryan took a step forward and with head erect and flashing eyes, replied: "I am here to evade no question, believing as l do that not alone the salvation of my party, but of my country, is dependent on this issue, there is no power between Heaven and Hell that can force me to support a gold man on a gold platform. This bold declaration created the 0wildest en- thusiasm and men rushed to the platform from all parts of the build ing.
 At that time Bryan had not been thought of for president. A friend of the writer told him that Bryan confided to him that he hoped to get the nomination for vice presi- %rvk 1~s> months later he received the nomi- nation for president. J. H. s. Birmingham, Ala, March 20, 1923.
 Superintendent of Printing
 NaFayette Sun)
 If the Alabama legislature
 does not establish a state print
 ing plant, certainly they should
 create the office of master print
 CT or superintendent of state
 printing. The state pays for an
 immense amount or printing, and,
 judging from the prices paid,
 there are no experts on the in side, but great number on the
 outside. A superintendent of
 printing and publications would
 save his salary hundredfold.
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The above clipping reprinted in your paper affords an apt iliustra- tion of our proneness to make reck- less charges against public officials and oversestimate official extrava- gance. i suppose jt is bad enough without exaggerating it. I am not well informed as to the amount ex- pended by the state for printing, but figures I have seen lead me to believe it is not more than $3O,OOO to $35, ,O00 per annum. A superin- tendent of printing would be paid at least $2,500 per annum. One hundred fold would be $250,OOO. Some saver he would have to be. Better employ him all down the line. am not posing as a defender of the people who do the printing, but a practical knowledge of such things prompts me to say that they could never ride in Packard cars off their profits-a flivver for them if that.

If you see as many as three peo- pie on Dothan's streets talking, the chances are one of them is talking of the oil>well, ana the other two are wondering if it's so. The roads leading to the well are being trav- eled. Those who own stock are be- ing offered as high as ten for one, but none of it has changed hands, which, if nothing else, shows con fidence.

My favored pest is Andy Kirk; he tells me how to do my work. If digging was his chosen trade this bird could not pick up spade and have the right end in his mitt-he has no brains, no sense, no wit. And yet whene'cr we chance to meet, in shop, in car or in the street, he tries to tell me what to do. I'm sending him along to you. When he arrives and starts to tell you how to run the pest house-well, then let your con- science be your guide-he's off my hands, once he's inside.-C. A. M.

Diversified Industry

 Anniston's diversified industrial activity is what is making the city great in a manufacturing way. Car building is but one branch of this activity. In addition Anniston makes more cast iron pipe than other cities, makes vast quantities of cordage and twine and great quan- titles of cotton goods, has extensive steel products and many other kinds of manufactures, all adding to the city's industrial life and prosperity.

 Georgia put one over on Ala bama. Over there they took turn overs, puffs, tarts, or whatever you call those delicious things that are made with batter wrapped around and fried, and called them "Geor- gir Fried Pie." Wrapped in oiled paper they are sold at Atlanta soda founts. We'll bet ginger cake those things were first made in Ala bama. but Georgia will get the credit, just because some enterprls- ing man named it first.

Cottonr Madison's Cash Crop (Huntsyilie Daily Tfmeal


 There is an effort in some parts of the state to reduce acreage as to cotton. This is alright and proper where there may be a tendency to curtail food production. but up in grand old Madison county we far mers are not only going to look well and definitely to diyersification, seeing to it that enough food stuffs are raised and to spare, but we arc going strong for 50,000 bales of cotton as our big cash surplus crop and propose to come within easy distance of it's attainment. It is not so much a large acreage as it is to work well the acreage that you do put in. No doubt of a good price next fall and it is largely up to the cDtton farmers of Madison county and the Tennessee valley to supply the deficiency that will show up elsewhere. Meanwhile, however. see to it that there is no neglect of the food production activities.

We note that they are still working on plans for the auditorium. We wouldn't be surprised to have that building yet. Speaking of auditoriums, Rome wasn't built in day. But they got an early start. We don't think that Romulus and Remus waited twenty-four hours after they learned that the people really wanted city there. But then, late dispatches corroborate the rumor that Romulus and Remus are dead. Perhaps, after all, municipal construction is fatal.

 Or surmised it to be out of joint; They thought it was right that the engine Should sound like a sneeze at that point.

(Gadsden JournaDl
 Much favorable comment has
 come to the Journal on the action
 of Probate Judge Chestnut of Cher
 okee county. Judge Chesnut a few
 days ago was faced. by prohibition
 law violator who had boasted openly that he soon would settle the affair
 by paying a fine and returning
 home. The judge had him on the
 way to the state penitentiary within six hours. Many of those who read of the incident in the Journal have taken occasion to comment favor
 ably upon Judge Chesnut's course.
 and they are hoping that other liquor law violators in this section of the state will meet the same fate. Tax Exemptions Didn't Do It (clanton Union Banner)
 The reason Alabama has not got ten very many of the cotton mills that have been coming south is be- cause we have fooled ourselves into believing that tax exemption busi- ness would do the work of bringing them here and that was all that was necessary. But we can see now
 that such notions are not altogether correct. North Carolina has been getting these industries because the people over there went out after them and showed them that they wanted them to locate in that state. We must do the same thing in Ala
 bama. If we will show a concern the advantages which Alabama of- fers in thousand and one ways, it will look so good that the tax ques- tion will be forgotten until the tax collector calls to see them.

Build Square Pe~s

h che side galleries were built square pews It is said that these were fayoritr seats of the boys who sometimes were unruly and required the authority fthe tithinE man In this gallery were seats for the colored people. and tradition says that here were seated the few slaves at one time owned by the parishioners
 What is now the gallery was finish ed as a room. where were held the prayer meetings and Sunday school.
 Our oldest church member, who has nearly passed the century mark, re- calls vividly being in Sunday school class m one of the square pews in the gallery
 One of the most noted pastors was the Rev Eliphalet Lyman, who was pastor for % years and held the office at this time He had striking per sonality, and many stories are told of his originality After many vicissi. tudes the long planned for new meet. ing house neared completion, and the date of July II, 1929, was fixed upon Tor the dedication. Great preparations were made for the joyous occasion. The village choir. which numbered noted singers, began at once the re- hearsing of special music. This con sisted of anthems and hymns. assist ed by the customary stringed instru- meats, the bass viol, violin and flute.
 Receives Original Manuscript
 This church was recently presented with the sermon preached at the dedi- cation in the original manuscript. this being the gift of the great-grand- daughter of Mir. Lyman. Miss Julia May of East Woodstock. It is quite & remarkable document, with ink as
