 THE PASSING THRONG. Mir. Walter l.. Fleming. whose home is sBrundidge, Pike County, is in the city for several weeks, engaged in prosecuting a course of study in the History of Reconstruction in Alabama. Mir. Fleming is a graduate of the Ala bama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn. where he was Assistant Librarian, from 1897 to 1900. He was in the Spanish American war. Alabama Volunteers, 1s9S-99. He has been a student of po- litical science in the Columbia Univer- sity, in New York, since last year; and he is now one of the few so fortunate as to have a fellowship in that great institution. Mir. Fleming will present as his thesis for the degree of Ph. D., the paper which he now has in prepa- ration. He is taking every step neces- sary to insure reliability of statement. as well as conclusions, and to that end Is doing much ard work and investi- gatien. In the work he has the aid and assistance of the Department of Archives and History, which, as is well known, was created at the last session of the General Assembly of the State. The director, MT. Thomas M. Owen, has placed at his disposal also the rich col lections of his own private library, which is particularly full in all docu- mentary and local material It is grat- flying to note the valuable aid which will be rendered all students and in- Quirers by this Department; and MT. Fieming's ;ise of the opportunity VIII no doubt be so intelligent and so inter- estng to others that his example will be general as soon as 1t Is known.
 "There are not enough lights in Oak Park to light all parts of the inclosure. and the first thing we know, there will be some terrible crime committed there under the shadow of the trees, and then those charged with the duty, will be chiding themselves for not providing more lights" said a citizen of Mont gomery yesterday. 'I very well re- member than even last season, before the city got the Park. there were about twice az many lights there as there are now, and 1t was not considered well lighted then. Investigation has shown that there are now only seven lights Tn the Park, and that heretofore there have been fully twice that number A great many people go to the Park every night to get the benefit of the cool and ref, eshing breezes, and to get out of the city after having worked in the crowded and close store and offices all day. Why not make every provision for their safety? There is room for at least seven more lights in the Park grounds, and 1t is the opinion of all who have been heard to talk about 1t, that the city ought to have the Park better lighted. The lights which are there are well enough, but they do not light the darkest part of the grounds The Park Committee of the Council IS comaosed of Messrs. Rushton, Westcott and Wiley. three of the most enterpris- ing and public-spirited citizen of the city. and 1t is believed that this mat ter has only to be called to their atten- tion to have them do whatever is nec- essary for the public good in the prem ises. The cost of the additional lights would be insignificant to the probable good they might do"
