of the family who commenced pouring into Birmingham from all points, west and south, Tuesday evening, their claim upon the land is based on land grant which dates back to King George III of England. This land is said to have been deeded to Martin Key, who leased it for 90 years.
 And since that time New York has taken root in the soil. Trinity church, the heart of Wall street, is now located there.
 The lease. signed by Key. expired in 1878, it is said. and at that time there was feeble effort on the part of the heirs to recover the land. Lack of funds caused this to explode, it was stated.
 In the past i few years a number of the family have again been attempting a fight for recovery. Noluminous cor respondence in the form of circular let ters have been exchanged with the re- suit that more is now known of the descendants of Key than ever before.
 As near as can be accurately deter. mined by those in charge of the organi zaton of the family, the numbers run well over 100000. Martin Key had ten sons and two daughters. One of these sons had nineteen children and another seventeen.
 About fifty of these descendants are located in Birmingham. Among them are Mrs. Rebecca Key Bagby, 146 Da vies street, who has been prime insti gator in the movement for the Bir mingham meeting; Mrs. Jesse Stallings 2725 Highland avenue; Harry Key Miner, 1419 Miner Crescent, and Mrs Georgia Key Pritchett, 4212 Third ave nue, Avondale.

VOICES PROTEST
 AGAINST RATES
Lumberman Says Increase And Cancellation Are
 Discriminatory >

Peter Vredenburgh, Jr., vice president and general manager of the yreden- burgh Mill company in Birmingham Tuesday voiced the protest that lumber men of this section are making against an arbitrary increase in lumber rates and cancellation of trackage arrange ments by W. B. Harbeson receiver of the Muscle Shoals, Birmingham and Pensacola railroad.
 According to Mir. Vredenburgh the new rates which in one case he says amount to 1000 per cent increase were made effective Tuesday night. Others are said to be out of all proportion with fairness and justice.
 The railroad has had somewhat stormy career. formerly being known as the Gulf. Florida X Alabama. It runs from Pensacola to Marlborough. Ala. on the Southern railway and taps some of Alabama's best timber lands. The ultimate plan of the road was to build to Jasper and thus develop an extensive export business, to move through the port of Pensacola.
 Lumber men naturally in the Mobile territory who had trackage arrange ments with the Pensacola line are left almost helpless by this new and arbi- trary ruling" said MT. Vredenburgh. Our protest has been laid before the public service utilities commission, for the action was taken without con- sulting that body. We have for years been supporters of the line. We have subscribed money for it, kept up its tracks and have been of assistance in many ways and we are very anxious to see it keep in operation. But we feel that the receiver MT. Harbeson is going too far in his recent action. because what he is doing is prohibit tive. can understand that the people of Pensacola including the receiver are eager to throw as much business to their city as possible, but such step as this taken largely at the expense of Mobile cannot be justified in any stand ard of fairness. We are going to make as hard fight against it as we can and we believe the public utilities commis- sion will appreciate the justness of our protest

An appeal to help in the campaign to reduce illiteracy in Alabama was made by Mrs. Charles J. Sharpe, prom- inent social worker of Birmingham, to members of the Kiwanis club at the weekly luncheon of the club Tuesday in the Tutwiler hotel.

Secret of Keeping Young

Why is it, that some women look older at thirty-five than others do at fifty Why is it that so many women are always rundown, weak, pale, nervous, irritable and unhappy? Health, vitality and freedom from pain and disease alone can prevent the signs of age from fastening themselves upon women. All over this country women are awakening to the fact that the ills, aches and pains of women may be relieved by Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and the result is renewed life, energy and the glow of health. In fact, the secret of keeping young is to ward off all in- ternal ailments that cause premature old age, which is easily accomplished by this remarkable root and herb remedy.-Adv.
