ecutive Board was declared to be the most encouraging in the history of inc Institution and the Synod recow- nixed the goodness of God in providing the friends who donated additional acres of land to the valuable farm of the Home and the dollars of money to lis treasury. The efficiency and zeal of superintendent E. R. Foster was com mended and 1t was asked that the churches raise $12.0o0 during the year ir, order that the full number of 100 orphans may be given homes. Heating facilities and a bath room for the boys are also necessary. The report on mo- tion went on the docket
 The Committee on Church and Chris tian Education then made a partial re- port The committee called to the at- tentiori of the representatives the fact that four years ago the Presbyterians of Alabama depended on the State in- stitutions and the institutions Of other churches in their own State for the ed- ucation of the Presbyterian children and young men and women. but now there are four excellent schools of learning for the church within the boundaries of the State, the College for Men at Anniston, the College for Wom- en at Talladega, the High School at Selma and the Stiliman Institute in Tuscaloosa.
 College for Women.
 It was reported that the College for Men had opened its doors on October 3 with three professors and thirty-fve students. ten, of whom resided out of Anniston, and that the College for Women had opened with eighty-one students. many of whom were boarders. The first recommendation was that the Synod raise $2,000 for the payment of a note two years overdue for repairs on the building of the college for women. This precipitated a debate. Dr.. c. w. Patterson. D. D., of Montgomery said that the Synod had instructed the churches to pay this amount twice be- fore and about $200 had been paid, leaving a balance of S1,S00. The notes had been extended by the bank in whose possession 1t was on each occa- sion. but he said that the Synod should take it up.
 He took occasion to compliment the good work of the college of which he Is President of the Board of Trustees. and said that the work was for repairs which were absolutely necessary.
 On query of Dr. Snedecor, pr. Pat terson replied that the Synod had nothing to do with the financing of the affairs of the college and received not one penny from it nor paid out any money for it. The synod simply owned the building and the general policy of the institution was dictated by the Synod, otherwise it was con trolled by pr. Walton. the President.
 Rev. E. L. Hill of Eufaula, asked if the Synod had not promised to pay the note.
 "The Synod did" replied Dr. Patter- son.
 Then that ends the discussion" said MT. Hill. "the Synod should surely pay it."

 If there is the slightest doubt in the minds of any that Dandruff germs do not exist. their belief is compelled by the fact that rabbit innoculated with the germs became bald in six weeks time.

 COlIege for SIen. At the close of pr. Phillips's address, the moderator resumed the chair and called for the report of the Board of Trustees of the Synodical College TOT Men at Anniston.
 Rev. ,. W. Stagg. D. D., of Birming-
 ham presented the report and told Of
 the institution from the time the idea
 was conceived until the opening of Its
 doors on october 8. In his quaint way | he spoke of the dificulties which pr. W. D. McIlwain had overcome since he
 was chosen president and paid tribute to his work.
 | The Board recommended that pr.
 Mcilwain continue the canvass for
 s75,ooo of which is already pledged
 and about s2o,0oo of which has al ready been paid. Encouraging words were spoken by pr. Phillips. Dr. J. s. l Foster and Dr. s. s. Handley and the recommendation was adopted. l It was then recommended that $20,-
 900 be raised by bonds or otherwise
 in order that the president might have funds in hand to push the work of the | college. | Dr. Stagg said that he thought this advisable as 1t was better to have the I college in working order when the building Is completed than to wait three years for the collection of all
 subscriptions. The land on which the college Is situated. he said. could be
 easily mortgaged for s2o.ooo to secure the bonds.
 Rev. Neal L. Anderson. D. D., moved that the section be adopted by an aye and nay vote to conform to the laws of Alabama. This was done and there were no dissenting votes. Dr. McIlwain was called on to ad- dress the representatives. He told of the work he had done, and the en- couragement he had received in detail, bringing the cheering news that he was assured that the dormitories of the college would be furnished by the women of the denomination in Ala bama.
 At the conclusion of his address, the synod recessed until 9 o'clock this morning.

Aroostook's Prosperous Year.

According to all appearances the
present season is going to be "a much
more prosperous one for Aroostook
than last year was. With the eXcep-
ton of potatoes the crops are even
more Dountiful than they were last
year. and AS digging proceeds it will
probably be found that the potato crop
is satisfactory in quantity, while it is
at the same time of exceptionally fine
quality. All the surplus abundance of
ArooStOok, and it is immense, is likely
to be called for at fair prices, not the
bonanza prices of two years ago. but at
such prices as form an even more solid
basis for good times than do big profits,
which tend to stimulate extravaganza
and foolish outlay. Nothing is likely
to come about. at least during the COM
ing year. to contradict the fact that
Aroostook is about the best place to
live in for the man of moderate means
that can be found anywhere i'm the

A Noble Life-Work.
(Rangor Commercially

Mr.. Carver was enthusiastic and de-
voted in the work of mis- profession
outside of the mere legal features Of
the State libraranship. In all the
methods ot the best modern librarian
lie was thoroughly proficient. He was
a leading member of the American
library association, had been its presi-
dent, Lad served on important COM
mittees and lad prepared most valua-
BILE addresses and papers which have
been given at its meetings. Our pres
ent judicious library laws were framed
by his wise counsel. The new library
spirit in Maine is largely due to his
love of the work, his conception of it's
value and his own personal endeavcr in
giving it effective form. That we have
more than 20 free public libraries in
Maine, and that during the time of Mr..
Carver's administration of the State
library nearly 20 new public library
buildings have beer erected, is due
largely to lis enthusiastic work in pro-
noting an enlightened public spirit in
behalf of the free library as an educa-
tiOnal institution, the browning agency
in the educational system OF the State
TIE free public library commission and
the work of the free travelling libraries
which have done so much for the en- =
.ightenment of the people, owe their
existence to his devotion to the work
in which he won such signal distinc-
ton. His life-work in this respect is
noble one and beyond all price.
Personally, his genial ways; his
frank, open, manly character; his
steadfast devotion to his friends, and
bis answering integrity won for him
the respect and love of wide circle OF
intelligent men and women all over
Maine, and throughout the embership
| of tn" American library association.
His influence in promoting public edu-
cation and the library spirit among our
people will long be felt for good.

The governors Of IL Southern states
have called a conference of the leading
ihcn of the South to be held at Chatta-
nnoGa Cor the discussion of subjects
important to their section of the Union.
IN the call the question of uniform
quarantine laws is placed foremost. as
,nc might expect in view of the yellow
fever situation in the gulf region. The
question of foreign immigration, how
ever, is made scarcely less prominent
than that of quarantine in the call re-
the language used that the South was
in as serious peril from the incoming
Italians as from yellow fever itself.
Among the foreigners, says the call
"are great masses who are wholly I'M
desirable. and whom it will be impossi-
lie to ssimilate with our institutions"
The statement is even made that there
is apparently a desire or tendency to
bring many of these undesirable i'm
distribute them from northern centers
into the South" Clearly this indicates
strong difference of opinion in the
South as to the desirability of foreigc
immigration. for the most earnest
advocates of it have been southerners
themselves. There are signs that while
the large interests in planting and
manufacturing desire the newcomers.
a prejudice against them exists among
the great body of small white farmers
who are political power. The Spring
field Re publican points out that it is a
nativist antagonism which New Eng
land experienced in the early period of
the foreign immigration movement of
the last century. and its outcropping in
the South is not at all surprising.

Who Owns the Presentation?

Who owns the prescription? This Is
an old question concerning which
there have been many differences of
opinion, and it is strange that such a
matter has not been definitely settled
in the courts. If it has been passed
upon by any judicial authority, the
fact seems to have escaped the editors
of the Druggists Circular, a leading
publication of the drug trade. in which
the question is discussed from all sides
in an article many columns in length.
AS to the ownership of the prescrip-
ton, the physician, the patient, the
druggists all have claims which are
to advance that the title to the little
slip of paper is in him. The physician
wrote It for a special purpose. and mas
a right to re-write it indefinitely the
patient bought it from the physician
and uses il for his own private pur-
nose: the druggist becomes the actual
possessor of the prescription ana hoids
it as a receipt and record of the medi-
zinc bc compcundcd and delivered. In
view of such claims, each plausible
enough in itself, who is the real owner
of the prescription? Such discussion
seems TO have all the possibilities of
that famous controversy as to whether
the hen or the egg was first created.
The publication of the druggists
mentioned above, not unnaturally
comes to the conclusion that the drug
gist is the real owner of the prescrip-
ton, since he retains it in his posses
sion indefinitely, and since from
the necessities of the case it is his
only means of protection should
any que stion arise as to the nature OF
the medicine sold. 1t holds that when
the physician has given the prescrip-
ton % the patient and received ms
fee, his money interest in the matter
terminates. Whether or not the drug
gist has a right to refill the prescrip-
ton indefinitely is another question,
and also upon this the physicians and
druggists disagree. Then again the
patient often likes to get the prescrip-
ton from the druggist to use else
where, especially if he is going on
journey or moving to another place.
In such cases. druggists usually fur
nish copy, though they say that they
do this out of courtesy rather than III
recognitior of right. The whole
thing is d complicated problem, but as
far as the prescription itself is con-
cerned, when treated a piece of spe-
| cial property, the druggist has the pos
session which is nine points of the law.
