TWO COMRADES OF GEN. RUCKER
 SU R WYE HIM

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 16. Only two of the 2 Montgomery county men who were on the rolls of Company F, Seventh Alabama cavalry, which served under Gen. w. w. Rucker, who died in Bir- mingham Sunday, are living. This was brought to light with the an nouncement of General Fuckers death. These two aged veterans, George W. Halls and William B. Whiting, both live here.
 Company K was the outfit of the Confederate army called upon to stem the onrushing tide of Federals on the second day of the battle of Nashville, when General Forests command began it's retreat, it is said. General Rucker was ordered to sacrifice his entire brigade if necessary, to protect the main line of retreat. Company F, in a hand to-hand encounter, met the foe and helped retard the advancing blue flood.
 These two aged survivors of Gen eral Fuckers Tennessee campaign were asked to attend the funeral of their commander, but although Mr. Whiting was only IT years old and MT. Halls 16 when, they entered the service, they are too far advanced in years to be able to accept.

 We, the undersigned employees ot the United States government working on the construction of Wilson dam, do hereby wish to thank the chief of en- gineers for having selected Lieutenant Colonel George R. 9palding for the post of district engineer of this work.

 We wish to call the attention of the war department, of the United States that the action of the afore mentioned body of men does not represent the attitude of the majority of the employees under Colonel Spalding, nor in our opinion does it represent the public opinion of the city of Florence"

was in danger of being incapacitated and consequently shifted their ale glance. Even positive denials of the reports spread by the Anybody to Beat Blaine" crowd failed to counter act the depressing influence.
 During the opening sessions of the convention, friends of the stricken can didate made valiant efforts to over come this bit of hard luck. and after lie had been nominated in speech of persuasive eloquence, his victory on the first ballot appeared certain. Managers of the opposition fought for delay. They counted on the soothing influence of summer night to quiet the ardor of the delegates. But June days are slow to end The voting might be blocked until dusk; but what of the evenings?
 This question was answered in a manner as effective as it was unique. A political convention could not work in the dark, nor by the rays of the moon. Without supply of. artificial light the hall would be in darkness and the delegates must return to their hotels and calm reflection. Thus the question was answered by cutting off the gas coIaection with the building, forcing an adjournment and permitting time to develop defensive tactics.
 Had James G. Blaine kept in closer touch with the gas man he probably would have become president. A
