LATE LOCALS,

Register J. w. Lyons has returned
from a pleasant trip to Georgia. He
delivered a telling address to the citi-

The institutional work conducted at
Lincoln Memorial Temple, under the
direction of Rev. Sterling N. Brown,
is making gratifying progress. DR..
Brown takes high ground upon the
unity Of the church with the practical

ception of the scope of ecclesiastical in
f1uence.
DR.. E. w. hampton, the capable and

SCHOOL IN GOOD SHAPE
PUBLIC EXAMINER REPORTS ON
 NEGRO INSTITUTION.
Sedberry Says Accounts of Paterson and Jones are Well Kept, But Papers of Billing
 are Lost.

In report submitted yesterday to Gov ernor Jelks on the result of his investi- gation George F. Sedberry, Assistant State Examiner of Public Accounts says the books and accounts of Col. w. B. Jones, Treasurer, and W. B. Paterson, President, of the State Normal School for Colored Students in Montgomery are In good shape. @
 The Examiner also reports to the Gov ernor that the books and papers of F. M. Billing, formerly Treasurer of the insti- tute have been lost or misplaced, and he gould not make an examination of them.
 The complete report of the Examiner 10 the Governor is as follows
 In obedience to instructions received from the Chief Executive Office, I have examined the accounts and vouchers of MT. w. B. Paterson, President, and Col. w. B. Jones, Treasurer and Auditor of the State Normal School for Colored Stu dents. Montgomery, Ala, and the finan- cial transactions of said school, and beg leave to submit the following report.
 This examination includes only the administration of Colonel Jones as Treas urer and Auditor, commencing January 25 1901. and ending January 25 1903.
 T find that during the time stated above Colonel Jores has received from the State the sum of s26.2O8 as shown in Exhibit A. hereto dppeuOeu, anu ILldCe q part or tnlS report and has disbursed on proper vouchers the sum of $25 PAS. .S6, leaving in his hards s95414. which last named sum is on deposit in the First National Bank of Montgomery to the creit of the Treas urer of this school, as Is also shown in Exhibit A.
 'I have ascertained that the several amounts paid to Colonel Jones were promptly deposited in bank, the dates they were received by him. with instructions to the bank that same be paid out only on drafts drawn by. the President of the school and properly countersigned by the Treasurer. I have compared each and every check with voucher for which it was drawn and found them to be correct in every instance.
 T ind 1t impossible to do anything to- wards examining the books of former Treasurer F. NJ. Billing, because Mir. Bill Ing is now out of business; his affairs are in the hands of a receiver He has lately moved from the bank building where he formerly did business, and in moving, his papers and vouchers. as Treasurer, were lost or misplaced so that they cannot now be had for purposes of examination.
 Tn making this investigation, MT. Pa terson, the President, and Colonel Jones the Treasurer rendered all needed assist arce for which they have my thanks"

PRESIDENTS DAY
 WITH THE TINTAGIL.

The members of the Tintagil were charmingly entertained on Monday by the President, Miss Sophie Holmes at the home of Mrs. Isaac DeWees on Jefferson Street.
 It was Presidents Day and Miss Holmes provided a specially attractive program for the occasion.
 A little booklet bound in purple and put together with white ribbon bore the title of "Shakesperean Medley.''
 The first page contained some Shake sperean lines out of joint and the task given was to set them right.
 The next was some verses in which Shakesperean characters were hidden and to find them was expected.
 The third contained "A Meeting of Shakespeare's Women and the blanks in the story were to he filled In.
 A prize was offered for the setting alright of all this medley and it was a bust of Shakespeare. It was won by four members who cut for It. They were Misses Dolley Kirk, Cecile Craik, Lucy Cobbs and Lula Wyman.
 Miss Wyman was the lucky one in the cutting.

WILL URGE
 >ORTANT MEASURE
MIR.

Mrs. c. P. Orr, President of the Ala bama Federation of Women's Clubs. which comes to Montgomery next Tues- day, will urge several important steps to be taken by that body, says The Bir- mingham Age-Herald:
 At the meeting of the Alabama Fedora ton in Montgomery next week Mrs. C. r. Orr will urge the appointing of an Ad- visory Committee of three women. whose duties will be to visit the Alabama In- dustrial School at Montevallo and whose work would in a measure supplement that of the trustees without conflicting in any way with their duties.
 Mrs Orr believes that by the appoint ing of such a committee the relation that should exist between the school and the Federation will be a closer one and that the women of the State, particularly the women of the Federation, should be in constant touch with an institution that directly concerns the education of Ala bama's young women.
 Mrs. Orr takes the position that a State institution that stands for the practical education of women should have a Wis iting Committee of women who. studying educational progress along the broadest lines, will be able, through their active cooperation to advance the interests of the school.
 She believes that such committee would be of invaluable assistance and will urge that immediate action be taken in this matter.
 Mrs. Orr will also urge upon the Fed eration the importance of it's work in connection with the Alabama Reforma- tory.
 In discussing this institution Mrs. Orr said the work of the women of the State for the reformatory should not be over looked. She considers this institution to be the most important work in the Feder- ation, and she will urge the women of the State to renewed effort in behalf of the Boys Industrial School. Among the discussions at the Fedora ton will be that dealing with the condi- tions that surround the working women of the State.
 Mrs. Stonewall Jackson Cole of Bir- mingham will open the discussion.
 It will be seen that the approac ching convention will deal directly in its dis cussions with educational and economi- cal problems and questions that vitally concern educational progress in the State.
 The most important report will natural ly be that of the Child Labor commit tee. The conflicting interests having been satisfactorily adjusted through the brilliant diplomacy and wise policy of the President of the Federation, who made possible the compromise bill. has done more to strengthen the position of the Federation than anything that has yet been accomplished.
