to the car lines have been surprised to dis cover that some young white men have gathered their roses while they could," and left their carefully tended yards al- most barren wastes. Sometimes these we'll dressed men, under the cover of darkness, have carried baskets and scissors with them and carefully selected the best blossoms and heaped their baskets up to overiowing while the helpless mistress of the yard looked on and groaned loud in despair.
 Last Friday night about midnight one of the prettiest yards on South Twentieth street was invaded by a party of young people returning from a social entertain- ment, and men in evening dress culled florist establishment. They were not con- tent simply to secure the flowers, but in their eagerness to have a good supply be- fore the car came they broke the cape jasmine bush nearly down to the roots and destroyed the growth of five years
 The owners of this handsome yard are especially generous with their flowers, and would willingly present the young people with them at any time, but they do object seriously to be awakened at midnight to find their grounds intruded upon by per- sons in evening dress, who are helping themselves to every flower within sight.
 The gentleman of this especial home has provided himself with a pistol, and proposes to take the law into his own hands and protect his grounds from invasion, whether the invaders be darkies, four-footed beasts or young men in evening dress.

The Students Congress
And It's Work

This unique, interesting and interested association, the Students Congress, will hold it's regular weekly meeting on Wednes- day morning at 2021 First avenue at 10 o'clock After the consideration of im- portant business the debate, a special order for Il o'clock, will take place.
 The subject selected for discussion is, Resolved, That the progress of civilization is more rapid during war than in times Of peace"
 At the last meeting of the congress the following resolution was moved: That the mothers of Alabama should organize for an aggressive campaign in the educational interests of the children of the state."
 Amendments were proposed to strike out "aggressive" and substitute "women" for mothers" After much warm discussion, there was passed a substitute to the ef- feet that the Students Congress resolve itself into an organization to carry on against illiteracy in Alabama. It is said that an influential member who was absent from the last meeting proposes to challenge this action, claiming that 1t was unconsttu- tional. As the member who proposed the substitute is a very determined woman, and generally makes sure she is right before she goes ahead, lively and vigorous time is anticipated. No quarter will be given on either side.

Depredaiions Committed Upon
 The Highland Flower Yards

The residents of the South Highlands have been great sufferers during the pres- ent season from the depredations of per- sons, who, regardless of police regulations, and the moral law, denude their flower gardens at night Frequently reference to these outrages have been made in the daily papers, and the darkies and four footed beasts have been held responsible by the public for such trespassing. It now transpires that while the agility and vora- cousness of cows, goats and other cattle have played part in these fower-garden invasions, and negroes, large and small,
 have ruthlessly helped themselves to the prettiest buds and blossoms that grew, still neither darkies or beasts are entirely sponsible for the floral thefts Several South Highlanders who live conveniently
