Invested.


The Investment Of half million
dollars belonging to the permanent
school fund and received by the state
from payment on land certificates and
land sales held by the state auditor
since Jan. 1, has just been completed
by the state treasurer. The last $780,
600 was invested few days ago in
Virginia state bonds, bearing per
cent interest for the first year and 8
per cent thereafter.
Some difficulty has been found in
securing desirable investments for the
school fund, and as result with the
last investment made, as well as pre-
vlous ones, it was necessary to pay a
premium on the bonds before they
could be purchased. In all, the state
has invested in United States bonds
and the Massachusetts,, Alabama,
Delaware, Tennessee, Virginia, state
capital certificates and other miscel-
laneous bonds, over 81 900, 900.
The various school funds also have
as an asset $6,2s0,0os due on land con-
tracts, that is, land sold to settlers On
time, bearing a good rate of interest,
making a total of over $4,000, 900
owned by the permanent. general and
permanent university fund.

rquested her daughter to play the
piano. The daughter complied, and
played number of selections, while
she supposed her mother was engaged

to her mother, and getting no re-
response, Miss Click became alarmed

ED CLINORD WENT BY LAUDANUM ROUTE Shoemaker Took Half Ounce of the Deadly Drug. NO CAUSE Is ASSIGNED Had Been Sick for Some Time and it is Supposed That Opiate Was Taken
 With Suicidal Intent-He
 Came from Knoxville
NO CAUSE IS ASSIGNED

Ed Cinard a shoemaker by profession, died last night from the effects of dose of laudunum which is supposed to have been taken with suicidal intent.
 Clinard who was about 32 years of age, came to Birmingham from Knoxville, Tenn, some time ago and recently pur- chased the shoe shop and business of Joseph St. Pierre, which he was to take charge of on the 1st of May. He had a room at the residence of R. NJ. Ross, 1919 North Sixteenth street, and came down town with MT. Ross yesterday afternoon. They returned home between 2 and 3 o'clock and at 3:30 took a half ounce of the drug. Shortly afterwards MT. Ross went into his room and, noticing that something was the matter with Clinard, asked what it was. Clinard replied that all was over, but made no reference to any troubles business or otherwise.
 Dr. J. w. Barclay and other physicians were summoned, but nothing could be done for Clinard, who died at S:15 o'clock last night.
 Nothing is known of the deceased here except that he came from Knoxville sev- eral months ago and was given employ ment in the shoe repair shop of Joseph St. Pierre, and that recently he purchased the business. His relatives in Knoxville were notified of his death by wire and instruc- tions as to the disposal of his remains were asked for.

SHERIFF O'BRIEN
 WAS APPEALED TO
Asked to Protect Operator and
 Property at BrookSide.
TEN DEPUTIES WERE SEN I
Miners Notified the Operator to Close the Telegraph Office-Say They Tried to Induce Him to Join
 the Strike-All Quiet

TrouSle was anticipated at Brookside last night oS account of the telegraphers' strike, and in resfonse to 9 request of the Southern railway Sherhr O Brien sent Dep uty Sheriff Stratford and nins other depu- ties to that place to prevent the threaten ed outbreak and to protect the property of the railroad company.

Sheriff 'Brien was appealed to by the superintendent and asked to protect the property of the company.

The miners stated to Mir. Stratford that at a meeting of the miners. twenty-seven being present, a resolution expressing sympathy for the striking operators was passed and a com mittee appointed to wait on the operator who was then at work for the purpose of prevailing on him to join the strike.

 Everything quiet there last night. and on being assured that no trouble would occur the officers, with the exception of three men, returned to the city.

DR. SPIEGEL ON THE
 QUESTION OF CREED
Preached to Large Congregation
 at Tabernacle Yesterday.
AGE-HERALD'S EDITORIAL
clared That No Creed Was Nec- essary Position of the
 Christian Church -

Rev. o. P spegel, pastor of the Christ ian church tabernacle, corner Fifth avenue and Twenty-irst street, preached yester- day morning to a large congregation on the subject of a change of creed, using an editorial that appeared in the Age-Herald on April 16 as the moving cause of dis cussicn of the subject in this city. He read the editorial in question and wholly agreed with the spirit of it, but he went far beyond it, for he would not be content with even a short simple creed-he wanted none at all "The Christian church." he said, 'has none."
 St. Paurs First Letter
 He took his text from St. Paul's letter to tho Corinthians, in which the great Apos- tie deprecated divisions among the breth- ren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. that ye all speak the same thing. and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment -dr. Spiegel showed that varying creeds rem dered St. Paul's mandate impossible.
 He read freely from recent utterances of distinguished dvines, all going to show that the creeds are crumblng. The ex- tracts that he read from Dr. Parkhurst, Dr. Hillis and Dr. Grey were particularly effective.
 In forcible terms he then presented these reasonable objections to man-made creeds :: 1. They promote divisions among Christ fans.
 g. They divide families and homes.
 Tk,axr f.,., 4. Make men narrow instead of catholic. ,. Divert from hearing Gods voice.
 G. Preclude possibilities of improvement. His scriptural objections to human creeds were stated under these heads:
 1. They are traditions of men. Mark 7:7. 2 As ordinances of men they must per- ish. Col. 2:2O-22
 g. Union is taught I Cor. 1:10-17; John 17:20-H.
 Some Philosophical Objections
 He concluded with some philosophical ob- jections:
 1. Man is a worshping creature.
 9 He becomes like the object he wor- ships.
 3. Man cannot devise, discover or origi- nate perfect object of worship.
 4. Must have a perfect revelation of per- feet object of worship-God.
 5. Christ is Gods revelation. Heb. II, 2; I Tim. 3:16.
 6. We want an inspired history of Gods revelation. which is the Bible.
 The speaker was very eloquent and em- phatic in declaring that all creeds un- inspired, mere human inventions, and therefore unsless alongside the New Tes- lament which is the true creed of all Christians.
 The Age-Herald had taken indeed con- orad hot the Christian world needs shorter, simp- Ter creed for, says MT. Spiegel, church that is 100000 strong holds that no. creed at all is necessary-is in fact worse than useless.
