Because Major Screws did not believe as we do was not good reason for a lowered opinion of him as a noble man.

Jn my judgment he was easily the greatest editor Alabama has ever produced. However, it was not along that line alone his qualtles shone so brightly. It waa during rather stormy times politically, when I came upon the scenes aa a country editor and first met the deceased. The strong and rigid editorial policy of The Advertiser discussed throughout Alabama, was a potent factor In saving Alabama from the Populist party. It was at that time I first met Major Screws through the Alabama Press Association and I was agree 1 T.

Therefore, the suggestion that a monument be erected to the memory of Major W. W.

That Alabamians should provide a memorial to Major Screws was first suggested by The Tuskegee News, whose editor W.

I am not able to describe In technical terms, their full dress, but as I advanced toward them I observed that one wore a chemise of some diaphanous fabric trimmed at It lower border with an edging; the one standing next to her had no trimming on hers; th other wore no chemise. The trimming I speak of was not more than an Inch and a quarter, or possibly an Inch and a half wide and was probably the lnexpentlva machine made lace to be found In all rt the dry goods stores, though I cannot be certain about this; certainly It gave a decided finish to the garment.
