HE DESERVED BOUNCING.

We are accustomed to look on the ministers of the gospel as good men and 1t Is to the credit of our common humanity that the opinion Is usually correct. But the preachers are nor tai. after all. and it ought not to be matter of wonder if one sometimes goes wrong. We take more note of such cases than we would if the wrong-doer were a layman. because we expect something better of the minister.
 But when a man who should get good example to the world does get his consent to travel the downward path he usually goes in a hurry. as was shown in recent case in Indiana where a minister was dismissed from his charge on a somewhat elaborate and specific set of accusations. Among them, as we learn from contemporary the Board trying him. which was com- posed of prominent ministers, charge fraud in making a will and being ap- pointed administrator of his mother n-law's estate, leaving $500 unaccount- ed for; swindles in horse trading; man uIdCturlnB lies 10 SulI ms purposo1. quarrel with neighbors; failure to keep within the teaching of the church; tell ing immoral stories; possessing a book on witchcraft; calumniating other pas tors of the Synod; gross neglect of pas toral duties; devoting too much time to business outside of the pastorate and doing violence and threatening himself and others with bodily harm"
 There may be few sins and misde- meanors that he was not guilty of. but we think most readers will admit that he was making a strenuous effort to go through the list. If he is not exactly bad man from Bitter Creek" he is at least a shining example of a good man gone wrong, If he was ever good one. It will be noticed that one of the counts in the indictment Is that of possessing a book on witchcraft from which we infer that the church to which he belongs is down on witches. The Rev. gentlemap deserved to be bounced.

A. McGregor of Town Creek delivered the address of welcome, the response being made by Captain Turner of Limestone County, both alumnae of the college. Professor J. E. Carey of Quka, Dr. Madden of Nashville, J. c. Stevenson of Texas and others spoke earnestly, eloquently and entertaining ly, their references to their college days causing tears unbidden to flow down the grizzled cheeks of many of those present. Congressman William Richardson delivered a most eloquent address. Much disappointment was ex- pressed at the enforced absence of Dr.. John A .Wyeth of New York City, who wired that he was unable to meet with his comrades on account of illness.
 The thirteenth annual commence nent exercises of the public schools of this city have been in progress since Thursday evening, when the commence ment sermon was delivered to the grad uating class at the First Presbyterian Church by Rev.

OUR SMALLEST PossEssIoN.

In the May issue of The National Geographic Magazine there is an inter- esting article on Our Smallest Possess sion," which of course can only refer to cur principality of Guam. The article ant William E. Sanold, who appears thoroughly eonversant with the sub ject, based on personal observations made on the island, and it gives us an insight into the products and climate of Guam and of the appearance, char acter and habits of the natives.
 An incident connected with our first historical knowledge of Guam gives a graphic insight into the treatment the natives of all new islands and conti- nents of the New World received from the first white men who visited them. The island was first seen by the Portu- guese adventurer, Magellan, on March 6. 1521. After a voyage of more than three months he reached the island with his crew starving and dying of scurvy, and dropped anchor near the shore. The natives hocked around the ship in their canoes, and soon after it was discovered that one of the small boats was missing. The natives were suspected of having stolen it, and the account informs us that Magellan himself went ashore at the head of a landing party of forty armed men, burned forty or fifty houses and many boats, and killed seven or eight na- tIves, male and female" He found and carried back his boat and immediate ly set sail," we are told.
 He was right to sail away at once. Shame should have dictated that course. if he could have felt such a sensation, but he probably did not. It was not looked on as wrong by the spaniards and Portuguese to kill Indians and ravage their country. and the early English were not much better. In this case a little diplomacy, coupled with fairness and moderation towards the natives, would not only have enabled him to recover his boat but to obtain from the natives fresh water, fruits and vegetables for his suffering crew. He chose to show himself a brute, worse than the savages themselves, and it was doubtless good policy in him to leave the island as soon as he had given an exhibition of his ferocious nature. else the natives might have re- talIated and wiped out his entire outfit --and they would have done right.
 However. this was merely one of the usual incidents connected with the early voyages to the New World, and has nothing to do with the present condition Os the island and it's lnhabi- tants. Our people are treating them somewhat better than Magellan did, and after while this little gem of the ocean will form valuable portion of our outlying dependencies. Those who feel interested in it's present condition should read what Lieutenant Saffold says of It,

COURT GRINDING AWAY.
Large Attendance Upon, the Session at
 COlumbiana.

Columbiana, May 20.--(Special.)-- County Court is still grinding away. There have. been quite number Of cases disposed of. but not great many jury trials. There have been an un- usually large number of citizens in at tendance on the court from dlnerent parts of the county.
 The commencement exercises of the Columbiana High School terminated Wednesday night, with the reading Of essays by the graduating class, and concert The annual address was de- livered by Rev. MT. Langcrier of the Baptist Church. The address to the graduating class was delivered by Prof. Spright Dowell, who also presented the diplomas The school has been, in every sense, a success. Professor Dowell has been reelected President of the school for the next year. His assistant teachers, so far elected, are Misses Carolyn Rowe, Lallage Lone phone, Lula Wilson and Mrs. Ellie Christian.
 A series of games of baseball was played here this week between the Co., lumbiana team and the Coal City nine. The first game resulted in a score of 6 to in favor of Columbiana. The second game, on the next day. was won by Coal City, the score standing for Coal City and 8 for Columbiana. The deciding game was played yesterday morning. and Columbiana came out victorious, with a score of 6 to s. Much interest was. centered in this last game. and it was witnessed by large crowd of spectators. The Coal City team Is regarded as one of the best amateur teams in the State, but couldn't bat Harry Roberts's balls. The Columbiana team Is well equipped. and with blood red uniforms, presents a fine appear ance.
 There will be an election held at the various polling places in Shelby Coun- ty on Monday. the 29th day of May, for the purpose of determining whether a special tax of 10 cents on each $10t worth of taxable property in the county shall be levied for the support of the public schools of the county, the tax to continue for four consecutive years, beginning with the year 1905.

The Roads to Blame.

Chattanooga News.
 The News has expressed the belief on several occasions that the railroads have been carrying coals to New Cas- tie by permitting the private, refrig- orator, car service to be owned by cor porations that are not known as pub lie carriers. It is fact that the rail- roads themselves are held responsible by the public for whatever extortion Is practiced by these private car compa- charges for the service, has been shown beyond doubt during the hear ing by the Senate committee, and 1t is within the power of the roads to put a stop to 1t. This can be done by the roads themselves taking charge of the refrigerator business, furnishing their own cars and making as reasonable charges for the service as they make in hauling other kinds of freight. It seems to The News that the roads will have to do this or submit their whole business to Government supervision. Hence, The New York Evening Post is not far wrong when 1t declares that the roads themselves are largely re- Snonsible for their present trouble.

When a wife in- sists on deluging her husband with boiling soup and clustering his eounte- nance with sizzling oatmeal its time for him to pull out for cooler cli- mate.

PRIZE STORIES.

The manner In which prizes are awarded in some of the Short Story Contests" or the influences back of the life. In a recent magazine publica- tion there appeared, with considerable flourish of headlines, a "$2.0U0 prize story" and after reading 1t one is left in doubt whether 1t was selected by Tipping penny or got into the paper by accident To say that 1t is a weak specimen of story writing is really speaking we'll of 1t for 1t hardly rises to the height of weakness. If the ed- itors of the publication can get noth- ing better for the price than this sen timentally hysterical effort they might strike something better by offering prizes for the worst stories submitted for competition.
 There Is always a chance for 'njus- tice or favoritism in the awarding of prizes for stories or poems. In some cases a story is accepted and paid for because of the standing and reputa- tion of its author, which Is not exactly fair, of course. In cases where prizes are offered 1t frequently happens that such a large number of manuscripts Is received that the judges hardly have time to glance at them, much less read them carefully so as to form a fair Judgment. In the case we first re- ferred to 1t might be that there were but two or three stories submitted and the judges selected the least objection able. If that is not the explanation. then they must have decided by flip ping a coin or turning a card.
