One of the Sneakers,


Huntsville, Ala, August 2s.--Colonel n. f.
Thompson. secretary of the chamber of COM
merce in charge of the committee on arrange
ments for the industrial congress TO be held
here early in October today received letter
from Senator John I. Morgan in reply to an
invitation to address the gathering. 1t is
quite likely that the senator will attend the
convention. although he says he can not make
a positive promise at this time
Mr.. Thompson is advised that William
Grubbs. chairman OF the State committee of
industrial education of Texas, will attend the
convention and discuss the subject OF Indus
trial Education in the South
In his letter Mr. Grubbs says: Our educa-
tional system needs a general overhaulng,
with view to an industrial trend. The idea
that manual labor is degrading and unworthy
OF an effort to attain to skillfulness and pro-
hciency therein has prevailed to such an en-
tent in this section that practically no ad-
vance has been made over ancient methods by
the vast majority of our people engaged in the
ordinary industrial pursuits of life"

himself.
As the man receded he came into

he resumed his seat, and the converse
tion went on. Mrs Eldridge and her
daughter beamed with pleasure. while
the captain was entertaining in the
highest degree
Oakman joined in the jest and
smiles but it was all forced. for he
plainly saw the captain reach out and
take the willing hand of the young lady
ana fcaldle it. And it was not once but
many times that this audacious thing
occurred right under,his own eyes.
More shocking than all. the mother
observed the shameful proceeding and

disposal. and since so much faith was
reposed in the captains letter of intro

agreed that Lieutenant Oakman should
take his departure on the morrow at
daylight.
Late that evening. when he bade his
friends good night and ascended to his
room. he had hardly locked his door be
hind him when he caught sight OF a
folded piece of paper lying on the stand

The question ne asked himself was
whether he should descend and leave by
a lower door or drop from the window.
II Captain Trenholm suspected any
thing Of the kind, he would doubtless
be on the watch. in which event the
window was preferable. The distance
was SO moderate that by hanging from
the sill the fall would hardly lar him.
