TALLADEGA
Chinnabee Cotton Mill Company Holds
Meeting and Elects Officers.
Talladega, June 4.—(Special)—The stock
holders of the Chinnabee Cotton Mills
held their annual meeting today in the
court house. The “Chinnabee" is the last
built of the three cotton mills located In
this city, ail of them having been erected
with local capital. A board of directors
was elected consisting of Capt. T. 8. Plow
man, Hon. Cecil Browne, Mr. Z. H.
Clardy, J. E. Michael, W. D. Link and
F. B. Bowie. The report of the manage
ment showing the results of the opera
tion of the mill was read and proved
highly satisfactory. The factory has been
running but six months, and it has had
all the difficulties to overcome incident
to the starting up of a new mill, but not
withstanding this the report shows a
handsome dividend to the stockholders.
The Deso gold mining association, a
Texas corporation, has leased 220 acres of
land near here on the Coosa River and
in its prospectus the claim is made that
they are developing the exact spot mined
by DeSoto four centuries since. The cor
poration has succeeded in unearthing
about one hundred dollars in gold dust.
The claim is made that the corporation
has a map of the march of the Intrepid
Spaniard, and a shaft dug by his followers
has been found. There is no doubt that
gold can be found at the spot Indicated,
although It is the most northerly point
in the county where the metal has hith
erto been discovered in any quantity.
Mr. John Nichols of Childersburg, who
owns the site of the ancient Indian town
visited by DeSoto, has sent to the mayor
a copper coin or medal ploughed up In
his field. On one side of the medal is a
profile of an Indian standing under a
pine shooting at a deer with bow and
arrow, on the other a bust in profile, and
around it the inscription, “George, King
of Great Britain.” The medal has a
small ring at the top, presumably to en
able the possessor to pass a string
through it. and wear the same on his
person. In size it is about the thickness
and circumference of a silver dollar.
HUNTSVILLE
New England Capitalists Close Deal
for Aonther Cotton Mill.
Huntsville, June 4.—(Special.)—Wealthy
New England capitalists 8ave closed a
deal with Tracey W. Pratt for the loca- ,
tlon of another large cotton mill In
Huntsville during the present year. Mr.
Pratt has been In New England for a
month past and has met with a large
number of capitalists who are Interested
In placing mills In the south. The new
mill will be a large one and will be the
eleventh cotton factory here. Deals for
the location of others are pending.
T. M. Pratt, president of the Huntsville
Cotton Mill, is authority for the state
ment that there Is small probability of
any of the Huntsville cotton mills join
ing the cotton spinning trust, which Is
conceived by the New England spinners
to discourage the building of new mills
In the south.
GUNNELLS GETS
THE APPOINTMENT
Succeeds Mr. Abercrombie as
Superintendent of Education
WASGREATSURPRISETOALL
Mr, Gunnells Was Recommended By |
Mr. Aberoromble—8aye He Has
Not Deolded On Being Candi
date for the Office.
Montgomery, June 4.—(Special)—Gov
ernor Jelks today appointed Mr. H. C.
Gunnells to succeed Mr. Abercrombie as
Superintendent of Education. The ap
pointment was announced to the executive
office by telephone* from Birmingham,
and came as a surprise. Every one had
guessed Gunnells as soon as the announce
ment reached here that there was to be a
vacancy, but he had promptly announced
that he would not be a candidate. Hence
this Is one case where an appointment
comes entirely unsolicited by the re
cipient. Governor Jelks in his message
said he did this at the earnest recommen
dation of Mr. Abercrombie. Mr. Gunnells
Is of Calhoun, born and reared at Oxford,
and was a teacher until he came here
with Mr. Abercrombie as chief clerk. He
was a member of the last legislature
and is a man of culture and experience in
public affairs. His experience as chief
clerk assures that the affairs of the
office will run on without any jar natu
rally incident to a change. The capitol
force 1b universally pleased at the appoint
ment.
Mr. Gunnells was asked if he would be
a candidate for the nomination and an
swered that he had hardly had time to
consider the question, but his Impression
now is that he will not be.
MR. QUARLES MAY
BE A CANDIDATE
THIS IS CONSIDERED DOUBTFUL,
HOWEVER, AS HE MIGHT EN
DANGER CHANCES OF J. CRAIG
SMITH AND SENATOR PETTUS.
Selma, June 1—(Special.)—For about a
week there has been some slight talk
that perhaps Col. W. W. Quarles would
be a candidate for governor. He him
self has not said anything that led to
the rumor, but it appeared to have come
from those who are sTurmlslng and con
jecturing on affairs political In Dallas
county and the state. It was spread
abroad only after the appearance in the
Mobile Register of the letter giving his
views on a state primary.
Col. Quarles was called on t his morn
ing by an Age-Herald representative and
asked concerning the matter. “I have
nothing to say at this time,” he said,
and that settled it.
Colonel Quarles was called on this morn
his probable candidacy. His friends, and 1
they are many, say that he would have j
practically a walk over, that he would j
receive the unanimous Johnston support,
although he fought Johnston so well and
effectively during the famous campaign
of 1900, when he was one of the “flying
squadron,” and that he would also rally
to his standard a large part of the Mor
gan strength besides strength of his
own, for It must be known that Col.
! Quarles has a large acquaintance in Al
abama and men of much influence in
scattered localities are greatly his
friends. He Is strong with the people,
makes a telling stump speech and pos
sesses endurance and perseverance that
would stand him well In a campaign.
Perhaps the greatest obstacle in the
way of his becoming a candidate for gov
ernor Is the complications that would
arise over Craig Smith's candidacy for
treasurer and Senator Pettus candidacy
for re-election. With two senators, a
supreme court judge and a state treas
urer from wallas county, to secure a
governor also would be something of a
task, but Col. Quarles' friends aver that
he would be able to do It, as against
Jelks.
Col. Quarles and Treasurer J. Craig
Smith are second cousins and are person
al and political friends. Col. Quarles
would not likely embarrass Mr. Smith’s
candidacy for re-election. This is point
ed out as one of the reasons that Col.
Quarles would not likely run. There are
some, however, who believe him a cer
tain candidate should a primary be
called and that for six weeks things have
been shaping themselves looking to the
announcement of his candidacy.

Hon. A P. Montague, Ph. D., LL. D.,
president of Furman University, Green
ville, S. C. He took as his theme "Bo
Right of Intellect ”

man as Dr. William S. Wyman, that they
Fhould feel proud of the fact that they
lived in a land of liberty, where honor
and progress abound, In a land of free
government, free schools and free re
ligion, where men lived and fought for
lo/e of freedom. He spoke of the patriot
ism of the south, of the tattered and torn
old soldiers of the days gone by, calling
attention to the hardships of Shiloh. Get
tysburg and Fredericksburg, etc. He
spoke at length of what Intellect had
done for history and the nation of the
grand men it had glvln Alabama, and of
1 ow they had developed the resources of
the state.
Beautiful Tribute.
He paid a beautiful tribute to the south
ern soldiers, statesmen and ministers and
what duty, honor end acknowledged
Bp'.enaor had caused them to be made
lessonj to the coming generations. He
said that what the present was, It was
made by those who now live, and what
the future is to be is what wo live and
make it; that opportunities win success,
while failures make us loosers. He spoke
of the success of Columbus, of hl9 dis
covery and determination. He also
brought much to bear on the proper
training and culture of the soul. "No man
1b his own,” he sale, “and should not
be afraid when the time came for the
home-going to meet Cur Father with a
diploma, with clean and pure hearts and
hands." He Impressed on the young men
the necessity of loyalty to their Institu
tion. lie < los ?d by exhorting them always
to be ready for the fray, to bo called
men, and to always live noble lives.
Wyman confererd degrees on sixty-sev
en, after which a very pleasant speech
was made by Hon. John W. Abercrombie,

CARROLLTON, GRAND OLD
TOWN OF WEST ALABAMA
BY CHARLES H. ALLEN, JR.
Carrollton, June 4.—(Special.)—This |
famous old town, the county Beat of j
Pickens County, Is situated 80 miles west
of Tuscaloosa and 36 miles east of Co- I
liimbus, Miss., and 32 mile* east of the
Bigbee river. L»ubbub Creek runs within a
half mile of the town. Pickens was carved
out of Tuscaloosa County in 1820, and
named for Governor Pickens, then chief
executive of the state. Carrollton was
for many years wfthout railroad connec
tion, but when the Montgomery extension
of the Mobile and Ohio was built In 3806,
and the town was left out In the cold,
the citizens determined to build a branch
road to Reform, on the Mobile and Ohio,
10 miles distant to the north. Hon. John
T. Cochrane of Tuscaloosa was placed
at the head of the enterprise and suc
cessfully carried It to a finish. The road
Is now called “The Carrollton Short
Line,” and is paying a handsome dividend
on the capital invested.
The town is beautifully located upon a
high hill or small mountain, and lovely
views of the rich and fertile valleys that
surround it can be seen from the windows
of the splendid courthouse. It has grown
wonderfully (n the past three years, and
now has a population of about 1000, and
constantly increasing. Business of all
kinds is good and there has been but
one failure here in many years. The town
now receives fully 6000 bales of cotton,
and trade is rapidly growing. Whisky is
now sold here, there being two houses
engaged in the business. There are about
fifteen stores here, and more to come
this fall.
This is a great timber country and hun
dreds of thousands of feet of all kinds is
shipped from here.
Carrollton is growing as a health re
sort. there being three fine mineral
springs close to town. One is an Indian
spring known as "Rock Spring," and it
is more than probable that DeSoto and
Ms cavaliers quenched their thirst here
when searching for gold In 1640, as It
stands today Just as the whttee found It
when the Indians were driven from this
section "The Johnnie Woods" spring Is
another famous oge here owned by the
Willetts, and Is more visited than tho
other two by seekers after health. The
other Is the "Copeland Spring,” all three
being noted as health restorers,
1 here Ib some excitement here now over
the report of the discovery of a leed mine
about six miles from town. The partlcn
lars cannot be had. but the general bollef
Is that such a discovery has been made.
Carrollton Is noted for Its hospitality
pnd the beauty of Its women, whose
cheeks are fanned to health by the moun
tain b-eezes that sweep down from the
green hills of Pickens. There are three
churches here and all the lnhaMtanta at
tend divine service.
FInca the Short Line bee been built a
private bank has been opened hero by J.
S. Hanley of Tuscaloosa. George A.
Michael, formerly of Demctpolls, Is the ef
ficient and accommodating cashier, and
business Is good with the bank.
There are seven lawyers In town and
all do a good practice. Colonel M. L.
Stansel, beloved all over the state, to the
Nestor of the ter. He has recently been
quite sick but Ib now Improving. Willett
& Willett Is a leading firm here and do
a largo practice. Pickens Is the home of
seme as fine gentlemen as live In the
state. For Instanoe: W. B. Peebles of VI
mno, W. D. Wlndhrm of Stone. S. W.
Hood of the Garden. Frank Hancock of
McShaw and many others.
Carrollton has been the home of many
men famous In the history of Alabama.
Col. L. M. Stone, now dead, Ib among
the number. Hon. Reuben Chapman,
who recently died at Livingston, began
the practice of law here, an<t led the first
company to the wgr In 1861. Major Willett
head of the noted family of that Mint,
lived and died here; Joe Willett, famous
as an orator and lawyer, now living at
Anniston, first saw the light-of day here.
Taken as a whole Carrollton Is a grow
ing and progressive town, her clttoens will
compare favorably with any In the toad
and a bright future asratte her.
