LETTERS TO EDITOR
Chairsell Makes Statement
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
“'in an afternoon paper reporting the
proceedings of the meeting this morning
of the Board of Revenue in connection
with the appointment of oil Inspector of
Jefferson county appeared an item stat
ing that Dr. Dedman and Gen. E. V.
Clark had spoken to the board in my
behalf, as I had promised to give the
Holy innocents hospital $200 per month
out of the proceeds of the office of oil
inspector. As this statement is wrong, 1
wish to state that on June 26 I made
application to the Board of Revenue for
the position of oil inspector and made
them the following proposition:
That I would personally attend to the
duties of the office for the sum of $200
per month. That the surplus, whatever
that might be, I would divide equally
between the Mercy Home and the Holy
Innocents hospital; that at the end of each
month I would render to the Board of
Revenue a detailed sworn statement show
ing all the receipts of iho office, and
that after deducting $2$0 1 would either
turn such surplus over to the treasurer
of the Board of Revenue, or l would
attach to these monthly sworn statements
receipts from these two institutions show
ing that such surplus had been received
by them.
As it has frequently been reported that
the office of oil Inspector pays as much
as from $600 to $800 per month, if this is
the case, my proposition would have given
these two Institutions a monthly revenue
of from $200 to $300 per month each.
1 ask you to kindly publish this state
ment for me, for two reasons. A paper
has misquoted my proposition to the
Board of Revenue, and this afternoon I
have been asked by some of my friends
why 1 had appropriated the idea from
the tuberculosis association. As stated
my proposition was made to the board
on last Thursday, June 26, and the Anti
Tuberculosis association did not enter the
field with their proposition until Mon
day of this week June 30. Yours truly,
EDWIN C. CHAIRSEEE.
Birmingham, July 3, 1913.
Cites Objections to Auditorium
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
it is with considerable interest that I
note the article in today's Age-Herald
in re the auditorium proposition; partic
ularly the statement of Mr. Paschal G.
Shook, chairman of the auditorium com
mittee.
Inasmuch as the Chamber of Commerce
seems to have press-agented this proposi
tion freely and whereas the greater pro
portion of the citizens and taxpayers of
Birmingham, who are not so fortunate as
to be affiliated in any way with that be
nevolent body, have not had a voice in the
proceedings, and being one of the mere
citizens, 1 wish to venture a few remarks
in their behalf.
Mr. Shook states that the two large
hotels now under construction cannot
prosper without an auditorium. For sake
of argument we will grant that point.
He further states there will be consider
able income from the building itself. This
statement is ridiculous upon the fact it
would be an utter impossibility for the
Chamber of Commerce or anyone else to
get enough conventions to meet in Bir
mingham to make an auditorium self sup
porting.
Now the above points are the only two
arguments Mr. Shook has to make. In
the rest of his statement lie is upon the
defensive.
In the first place, the question arises:
Who, primarily, will be benefltted? An
swer: The hotels, shopkeepers, bars, street
car companies and taxicab companies.
This being the case, let the hotels, shop
keepers, bars, street car companies and
taxicab concerns finance the auditorium
by forming a stock company and purchas
ing shares in the enterprise in proportion
to the extent they expect to be benefltted.
Why should the citizenship of Birming
ham be taxed to bring profits to this class
of people? If they were the real hustlers,
boosters, etc., ad infinitum, they claim to
be, let these interested parties subscribe
to the undertaking, and if it turns out
all they claim it will, they will not lose a
penny by it. However, they are too anx
ious to let someone else hold the bag for
them in the event that It does not prove
to be as successful as they are now
claiming it will be.
And furthermore, as men of judgment,
they should know that an auditorium of
itself will be no inducement for any na
tional convention to come to Birmingham.
When a convention is held it is with the
idea of mixing pleasure with business at
the ratio of about 10 to 1, which naturally
brings up the question of what, attractions
have we here to offer visitors? People
are not going to travel hundreds of miles
merely to view the South Highlands and
inspect the steel plants. If we had the
attractions a pleasure seeking crowd de
mands we would get the conventions
whether we had an auditorium or not.
As to putting the question to a referen
dum, it will be a saving of time and
money not to do it, as it would be over
whelmingly defeated by those who will
derive no financial gain whatsoever.
1 think that the nerve of the Chamber
of Commerce, representing the hotels,
shopkeepers, bars and Interested real es
tate men of this city, is collosal In en
deavoring to exploit such inequitable
proposition upon Birmingham. If they ara
so anxious to build up the community so
that there will be more taxpayers to mulct
why don't they go to the city commis
sioners with the proposition that the city
issue several million dollars’ worth of
bonds and use the proceeds to buy real
estate at boom prices from members of
the Chamber of Commerce to. donate to
poor but worthy industries who wish to
come 'here and thus enlarge the popula
tion? That would not l>e near so absurd
as this auditorium proposition, and tlie
benefits reaped would be more lasting.
I believe 1 have said enough for my
part, but if the Chamber of Commerce
et al. desire any more verbal broadsides,
I doubt not but what there are a great
many patriotic citizens in Birmingham
who could rake them fore and aft and do
a much better job of it than I have. Very
truly, AMOK f.ORENTZ.

Thanks for the Brace
"I thank the Corner an much for all It
has done for me. I wrote to you for a i
brace, and a woman wrote me and sent a
man to fit one for me. I need an opera
tion on my leg before I <-an use a bra'-c.
I just dread to think of a hospital. 1
had one leg operated upon and I suffered
so much. It took me long to thank you,
but I am so nervous. T,. \V."
The piteous cry is from one whom we
dubbed lovingly long ago "The Child of j
the Corner." We have watched over her |
tenderly through her sadly shadowed In
fancy, and now it would seem there are
further trials in store for her. No mar
vel that she "just dreads to think of the |
hospital" in recollection of former an- ]
gulsh. Our members have been untiring
in their kindness to the afflicted child In
days past. Will some of them look her
up again and report what she needs to
render her condition tolerably comforta
ble? She asks for nothing, you see? Only
writes to return thanks for what has been
done for her, apologizing for tardiness by
alluding to her overtaxed nerves. What
can we do for "our child?.’
Sending Magazines to Mrs. J.
"I received the address from you and
have sent the woman some magazines and
a letter this wee.t. I shall continue to
write to her, but thought I would let you
know that I received her address ill
right. The person referred to is Mrs. J.
I have always read your Corner, but this
is the first time i have ever written to
you. LILY F. 1
J t hank you for breaking the silence and
tor continuance in “well doing."
Supplied With Silk Pieces
“I have sent silk pieces to Mrs. Amelia
V., Mrs. K. R., Mrs. Lizzie M. and Mrs.
J. J. M. The magazines 1 find, upon ex
amination, aie not worth the high mailing
rates for printed matter or the express
charges, so I have disposed of them nearer
home and m this city.
• BERTHA B. T.“
Thus the beautiful informal mission
goes on quietly an 1 unostentatiously, as
falls God's dew from heaven. Is it strange
that \^e should reckon our humble H. H.
C. a missionary center?
Trying to Keep Even
‘‘Thank you for forwarding my letter to
E. B., who offered samples of embroidery. :
She sent me some, and in return I gave
her some bows and a handkerchief case.
She was so pleased she has forwarded me
another lot, and In return 1 sent a hand
painted calendar. E. G.”
And still another “echo.” If it be not as
sweet “a shorns from Elfland blowing,” It
awakens chords in the heart no music ol
mortal making can touch.
For a Missionary
“I read in your most interesting Corner
a request for postals aryl pictures for a
missionary on the foreign field. I have a
number that l will gladly give If you will
send me the rddre-s. I had a very appre
ciative letter from the woman in Michigan
to whom I sent books for her little boy.
* “HELEN M. B. ’
The address has gone to you by mall.
It is kind in you to tell me of the letter
from the grateful mother. It hurts no
unconsciously when no response is made
to love gifts like yours.
Expressions of Appreciation
"I have received tin offer of a violin for
my little brother from Samuel D. P. I &d
preciate the Corner’s kindness and will re
member it foe what it does for the poor.
"FANNIE C."
The C.orner is but the instrument of the
benefaction. The heart that dictated the
gift and the hand that made it are to be
thanked.
"I want to thank tlie friends who have
so generously roRoonded to my request
for tatting patterns. I appreciate it all
the more since my faith was so weak, that
I only half expected a return to my re
quest. Hereafter I shall have more faith
in human nature. I can’t tell you how
much help the patterns are to me in my
work, and beside that the thought of
others caring put he&rt and courage into
my life. •’JEAN.”
“I received the box of patches and am
thankful for them. It makes my mother
happy because she lias to sit all the time.
This she has done for six years already.
That's a pretty long time. So I am ever
so much obliged for them. LENA D."
“I heartily thank the Cornerltes for their
warm response to my recent request for
a girl correspondent. 1 am especially
grateful to M. M. W. for the beautiful
cards sent me. As I do not know M. M.
W.’s address I take this medium of ex
pressing my thanks, and hope it will be
seen by the person for whom it is in
tended. If C. E. M of Canada'sees this
will she please send me her correct ad
dress. as all my jostals have been re
turned? ANNA L.”
' In case you will accept in my plea for
forbearance, 'better late than never,’ 1
should be truly thankful. Otherwise, 1
feel like a dinner who deserves no mercy.
Last December you kindly inserted in the
Helping Hand my call for a companion
for a lonely woman. Most of the letters
that came to me wtre lovely, and I feel I
should have thanked the Corner then
and there had not an overwhelming trag
edy entered Into my life that swept every
thing before it. and from which I have
not fully recovered. I beg you today to
accept my hearty thanks for your kind
ness in my behalf. I wish the Corner all
the well deserved success that comes to It.
"M. S.”
May 1 hone that jou will believe in *th?
sincerity of the sympathy felt by our
great family for you In the new and great
sorrow that has fallen upon your tried
soul? Without seeking to know what the
tragedy was that swept your life, we are
yet sure that there was back of It a love
so deep and mercy so divine that, in his
good time, the chastener will unveil the
blind path by which ycfu have been led
and reveal to your grateful heart “what
was t lie sweet thing the dear Lord
meant." It la not easy to bethink our
selves when the night is darkest, that
“The shadow would not be
Were there no sun behind the cloud.”
It is, nevertheless, true, always and ev
erywhere.
July 3, but for all of that farts are facts,
and here they are:
General Pickett was charged by General
Dongstreet with the formation of the
troops that participated in the assault.
General Pickett did not lead the columns,
nor did he approach within gunshot of
the deadly wall. His three brigade com
manders did, however. General Gunett
was killed inside the enemy's works, and
General Armlstead was wounded after
Climbing the stone wall with his hat on
his sword. Of General Kemper T And
no record in the two volums of “It. R..“
except that General Dee says he was
dangerously wounded.
Now justice should be. done If the stars
of fame do pale in some crowns. In the
assault in the front line, dressing to the
right on Pickett's regiments, and march
ing oblique to the left, was Heth’s di-j
vision. Hill's corps, containing Archer’s!
brigade, composed of two Alabama regi
ments, the Thirteenth and Fifth Alabama
battalions and three Tennessee regiments,
joining Pickett's left and lapping over
on It as they advanced. Also thre was
the Fourth brigade (Davis'), four Missis
sippi regiments; the Second brigrade (Col
onel Brockenbrough), four Virginia regi
ments, and on the extreme left of the
assaulting column, Pettigrew's First bri
gade of four North Carolina regiments.
Behind Heth’s division were Dane’s five
North Carolina regiments, and Scale's
five North Carolina regiments of Pen
der's division. When Pettigrew's brigade
gave way under the concentrated infan
try and artillery fire on its front and
left, Pender's brigades moved into their
position on the left, their ranks having
been broken by Pettigrew's men in re
treat. Archer’s brigade was commanded
by Col. B. D. Fry. General Archer was
captured July D Colonel Fry, and Col.
James Marshall, commanding Pettigrew’s
brigade, were severly wounded andjwere
taken prisoners. General Pettigrew aft
erwards killed in the retreat, had his
horse killed and received a wound in
the hands.
Col. S. G. Shepard, of the Seventh Ten
ness€*e Infantry, who wrote the report
of Archer’s brigade, says: "Archer's bri
gade removed at the works fighting as
long as any other troops either on their
right or left, so far as I could see.’’
Colonel Dawrence, who commanded
Scale's brigade, says: “Now the pieces
in our *front were all silenced. Here many
were shot down, being exposed to a
heavy lire of grape and musketry upon
our right flank. Now all had forsaken
us. The two brigades (Dane's and Scales)
now'reduced to mere squads, not num
bering in all 800 guns, were the only line I
to he seen upon that vast field and no1
support In view. The natural inquiry |
was, what shall we do? and none to!
answer. The men answered for them-,
selves, and without orders the brigade,
retreated.” PERCY CLARK.

^lOVELETTER?^
HOW ABIGAIL WROTE TO JOHN ADAMS
Abigail Adams, the wife of John
Adams, the second President of the
United States, is recognized ns one of
the best letter writers among Ameri
can women. Her letters on a great
variety of subjects have been collected
and published, accompanied by a biog
raphy, by her grandson. Charles Fran
cis Adams. Among the most interesting
of these letters were those to her son,
John Quincy Adams, who later became
the sixth President of the United States.
Abigail Adams was a woman of true
greatness and. elevation of mind, and.
whether in public or private life, she
always preserved the same dignified
and tranquil demeanor. As the mistress
of a household, she united the prudence
of a rigid economist with the general
spirit of a liberal hospitality. Faith
ful and affectionate in her friendships,
bountiful to the poor, kindly and
courteous to her dependents, cheerful,
and charitable in the intercourse of
social life with her neighbors and ac
quaintances, she lived in the habitual
practice of benevolence, and sincere,
unaffected piety. In her family rela
tions few women have left a pattern
more worthy of imitation by her sex.
It was in the following dignified and
odd, but endearing way, that she ad
dressed John Adams on October 25,
1782. "My Dearest Friend: The family
are all retired to rest; the busy scenes
of the day are over; a day which I
wishod to have devoted to my dearest
friend; but company falling in pre.
vented it, nor could I claim a moment
until tills silent watch of the night.
Look at tile date of this letter. Do you
nor recollect that 18 yetrs have run
their circuit since we pledged our
mutual faith to each other, and the
rymeneal torch was lighted at the altar
of love? Yet, yet It burns with unabat
ing fervor. Old Ocaen has not quenched
It, nor Old Time smothered it in this
hosom.
“I feel a disposition to quarrel with
ff race of beings who have cut me off.
in the midst of my days, from the only
society T delighted in. ‘Yet no man
liveth for himself,’ says an authority I
will not dispute. Let me draw* satisfac
tion from thisr source and instead of
murmuring and repining at my lot, con
sider it a more pleasing vie^w. Let me
suppose, that the same gracious Being,
who first smiled upon our union and
blessed us in each other, endowed my
friend with powers and talents for
the benefit of mankind, and gave him |
a willing mind to improve them for the
service of his country. You have ob
tained honor at borne and abroad. Oh!
may not an inglorious peace wither the i
laurels you have won."
M my women fill Important stations,
with the most splendid display of vir
tues; but few arc equally great in re
tirement; there they want the animated
influence of a thousand eyes, and the
inspiration of homage and flattery. This
is human nature in its common form;
and although female nature is often
beautifully displayed in retirement yet
to exchange high station for a quiet
home is n trial few women would have
borne with such sweet serenity as did
Abigail Adams.
W l ilo In retirement In Quincy she
.w same dignified, sensible, and
happy woman as when at the capital,
suiiounded by fashion, with and in
tellect. This serenity arose from a set
tled and perfect, but philosophical and
Christian contentment, which great
minds only can feel. Such purity and
elevation of soul preserve the facul
ties of tlie mind, and keep them vigor
ous even In old age. Thus lived this
genuine daughter of America, leaving
at her peaceful death a rich legacy of
the loftiest virtues, made manifest by
her example, as tlie inheritance of the
women of her beloved country.
Abigail Smith was horn in Weymouth.
Mass., In 1744, and died at Quincy on
October 28, 1818. She was married to
Mr. Adams in 1764 and was his con
stant associate during his whole public
career. Their correspondence during his
long absence on official duty took al
most the form of a journal by both par
ties. Some of the most characteristic
productions of John Adams were writ
ten in letters to hfl wife.
TUESDAY—LAFAYETTE AND MME. LAFAYETTE
MRS. FRIEDMAN LAID
ID REST YESTERDAY
Funeral of Deceased Woman
Occurs on 46th Anniver
sary of Wedding
Yesterday, the forty-sixth anniversary
of her wedding day, was also the day of
Mrs. Carrie Friedman's funeral. The
services were from thfc deceased's late
residence, 1237 Twenty-first street, south,
yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. Interment
was in Temple Emanu-El cemetery. Rabbi
Morris Newfield officiated.
A great concourse of, friends gathered
at. the home on South Highlands yester
day morning to attend the services. The
floral offerings were particularly beauti
, fui.
In delivering her eloquent funeral dis
course. Rabbi Newfield especially empha
sized the memorable fact that the wedding
anniversary of the deceased also proved
the day when her remains were laid to
rest. Rabbi Newfield dwelt on the vir
tues and the good character of the late
Mrs. Friedman, and in a few- eloquent
words recalled the many acts of philan
thropy of the deceased and breathed fer
vid words of praise for her abiding trust
in humanity and God. Dr. Newfield closed
with words that stirred the hearts of his
hearers to take to themselves the lesson
taught by the noble life of the deceased.
Following the services the large gathef
ing of friends and relatives wernled their
way In procession to the cemetery. There
the casket, covered by a mass of greenery
and beautiful flowers, was placed in Its
last repository. The grace was adorned
with many floral tributes from friends
and relatives of many southern cities. The
pallbearers wore Abe Rich, Joseph
Slaughter, Joseph K. Sfks, Valentine Glib,
Jr** J^n C. Henley and Samuel Swope.
The late Mrs. Carrie Friedman is sus
vived by two sons, Leon W. Friedman, the
well known newspaper writer and treas
urer of the Birmingham Newspaper club.
Mayer Friedman, a prominent local in
surance man, is the younger surviving
son.
Ofi the casket that contained the mor
tal remains of Mrs. Carrie Friedman were
laid by affectionate hands many beauti
ful floral designs ranging from the
choicest exotic to the simple garden
flower.
At the funeral obsequies expressions
of the deepest and tenderest appreciation
fell from the eloquent lips of one who for
years had been her spiritual advisor and
friend. Those who knew her intimately
failed to find words sufficient to describe
her many virtues, but showed their deep
feeling by the shedding of tears. NQt. one
in the great concourse that assembled on
that last sad occasion but had some word
or token by which they paid tribute to
the life and character of a noble woman.
Beautiful as were the flowers and elo
quent as were the words of commenda-"

DOLLY HAS SOMETHING TO
SAY ABOUT THE HEAT AND
THE “INGLORIOUS FIFTH’’
Vjr DOLLY DALRYMPLH
After a spell of what might be called
"Vesuvius-ating” weather, we have about
exhausted our several vocabularies and
stand helpless and "unadjectiveable" in
regard to the poor, little, inoffensive ther
mometer on the wall, that like the brook,
"goes on forever."
The story is vouched for, concerning a
certain man who has been treasuring a
dream of having a couple of weeks all to
himself at home his family declaring
every day that, they would get away the
next day for their two weeks' vacation),
and who had saved a lot of good books
that he hadn’t had time to read during
the whole year round, for his beloved
recreation.
The family wouldn't go, so he waven
them a merry good-bye one moaning, and
the past week "swam back” into the ken
of perspiring humanity, as cool and as
fresh as a cucumber.
"Well, after all,” he said, as each was

disposing of his own story of the recent
hot weather, “heat is only a state of
mind."
They all wanted to kill him, but when
you stop to think of it, he’s just about j
right.
Of course, nobody's going to deny that
it hasn't been as hot as blue blazes, but
there are very few of us who can’t get
ourselves “cooled off” if we go about
it properly.
The man who took his books and stayed
out at tils farm for two weeks, absorb
ing himself in the stories that meant so
much to him, verifies the fact undoubted
ly that the best way of getting the heat
out of our head is by filling it with other
and dissimilar interests.
Of course, it’s a subject no bromide can
keep away from.
The weather always is.
But
Many of us busy folks don't realise bow
hot it is until we see the headlines in the
paper, and somebody asks us “if it’s hot
enough for us."
Then ye get busy recalling the day back
in June when the thermometer registered
102 in the shade at 2 o’clock in the* aft
ernoon, and we harp on tbat subject like
an after dinner speaker does on some
thing uninteresting when everybody is
bored to death and wants him to quit.
A person who can stay at borne these
days has no excuse for complaining of
the weather.
Just stop and think of all the struggling,
miserable people you know who are at
“summer resorts” and sing your glad
hallelujahs that you are at home and
comfortable! *
If you understand the value of darkness
and excluding the sun from your house
you can stay cool all during the hottest
day.
People who live in the far south, es-,
pecially do I recall some friends who for
years have lived In Panama, tell me
how in that tropical country they study
the situation Just like they do food and
dress and drink.
Not only are the blinds and shades
drawn, but the windows are closed fast, a
few being opened only to give the proper
ventilation.
Not until you have tried the coolness of
a shaded hou^e do you understand how
to make yourself comfortable during the
summer.
Certainly there are many places wheie
one may “cool off” around Birmingham.
There’s Bast Lake—like a miniature
Coney Island—with all of its attractions—
boating on the lake, the roller coaster, the
aerial railroad,* and everything to “cool
you off” if you want to fee cooled.
There are the band concerts which from
now on will be given in the parks, where
it is cool and refreshing under the stars
and in the open, where delightful breezes
and beautiful music make anybody foi
get the weather.
Then there’s the Country club for those
who are members.
It is the most deliciously cool and de
lightful pla.e, with the breezes blowing
just exactly like you were in the Adirun
dacks.
The wide verandahs and the big. com
fortable chairs, cooling drinks, and pleas
ant companionship makes you forget that
there’s ever been such a thing as the
weather.
The Auto-Goluf club at Roebuck Springs
reminds one of the seashore, so beautifully
cool and deliciously pleasant is the quaint
little club house beside the clear, sparkling
pool.
A dip in the water and a spin ba**k to
town in a whizzing motor car will man •
anybody talk about nearly anything ex
cept the weather.
Just don't think how hot it is—that's the
best way to forget the heat.
Instead—
Remember that Birmingham is one cf
the coolest places in the south, excepting
the mountain ahd seashore places.
That certainly should be a thought like
a breeze from an electric fan.
Speaking of hot weather, always sug
gests the Fourth of July.
It sounds hotter than anything else on
earth, doesn’t it?
The Trishtnan described it cleverly when
he said:
“The Fourth is a g-l-o-r-i-o-u-s institu
tion, if it wasn't for the fifth.”
The “inglorious fifth” is worse than
Monday after Sunday.
Worse than the May after Christmas.
Nearly everybody is tired and worn out
and very much like spent sky rockets,
and we agree with the knight in the old
song who “fain would rest from labor.”
But—
Those who did nothing whatever to help
celcbarte the “Glorious Fourth” certainly
have no right to complain, and feel so
“done up" about it.
Thinking over the several "Fourths” of
the past few years, we are constrained to
admit that Birmingham is composed of
very careful and conservative patriots.
Think of the parades and per'ormances
the people in the north arrange for evety
Fourth of July.
Ours is a very safe and sane affair in
comparison, and when you stop to think
how most of us spend that day—at a bar
becue and a dandy good ball game after
ward—we winder how folks who march
in "parades and thlpga” kept from melt
ing.
Maybe they are made of asbestos.

“The Dreadful tomorrow”
THE Mexican lives in the realm of tomorrow
and as a consequence his land of vast and
untold resources lies practically undeveloped;
ais people, many of them talented and gifted,
have made no progress; and even now—barbar
ian like—they are in the throes of governmental
wars.
It is that individual driving power which does a tiling
now. rather than tomorrow, that differentiates man from
nan and marks the border line between success and failure.
No talent, no gift, no amount of energy is of avail unless
linked with it there goes that determination to do things
now, and not in the dreamy tomorrow. Especially is this
true of us people of the southland.
Many of your ftionds who took advantage of “THIS
ALABAMA HOME" Monthly Stock, a° a means of saving,
at the tin-e when you were contemplating the same step—
out postponed definite action—have ieceived checks for
thousands of dollars and are now on the broad pathway io
great success.
The July series opens today, July 5. Don't postpone—
