Justice Has Been Done.

The citizens of Sylaca1ga aud Ta!;a Gega county feel that an injustice was done them in considering the place of meeting. inasmuch as Sylacauga was unanimously selected at the 1904 meeting of the association for the place of meet ing in 1905. l know personally that for three months the citizens of Sylacauga have been making extensive preparations for the entertainment and comfort of the association It is safe to say that but for the unfortunate resolutions introduced at the meeting Of the executive commit tee on the 23d a more pleasant meeting of the association would have never oc- cured.
 1nasmuch as c. H. Greer president of the association, Is absent from the state, I deem 1t is incumbent on the first vice president to call a meeting of the ex- ecutive committee at once that a time and place of meeting may be arranged. 1t is very unfortunate for the associa ton that communications have gone out from the office of the secretary referring to questions and gentlemen which involve issues with which the association has to Ia

"i'' . porting escapes, and other changes In the number of prisoners on hand On June we required the Southside prison to be checked up by the warden, and 1t was found that four escapes had not been reported. one out by order of the city physician, and two reported as es- capes who had been returned to jail.
 On March 6. 1902, the city purchased from the Birmingham Realty company an option on the property known as "Drennen's park" paying for said op- ton the sum of s14O0. such option to run for twelve months from that date, the Birmingham Realty company agreeing upon the further payment of $l4OO on or before the 9th day of March of the sue ceeding year, with interest thereon at the rate of 215 per cent per annum, to renew the option for another year, and soon from year to year until the sum of $140OO, with interest thereon, had been paid. when they were to execute a deed to the city for the property. In the event of the failure of the city to exer- else it's option by making these payments on or before the 9th day of March of each year, the option is to be forfeited and the city to lose all payments made thereon. The city has up to date made four payments, aggregating $56O0, and owes SS4OO provided it continues to make it's payments at the times specified. school building is now in process of erec- ton on this property at cost of about $25. GOO So far as we are able to ascer- tain, there has been no further convey ance of this property to the city, and it is therefore erecting a school building (out of a bond issue) at a large ex
 pense upon land to which it has no shadow of title, but merely an option to purchase; and failure to meet any of the payments within the time specified rem ders the city liable to lose not only all it shall have paid on the purchase price, but the improvements placed thereon. It is a fact that the date fixed for payment has been passed twice-one day last year and two days this year. It is important that this matter be adjusted at once.
 On July 2. 1904. a sale of property for unpaid improvement assessments took place, but as far as the results are con cerned 1t was a farce. The cost to the city for advertising the sale was S1.020. 50, and but s5,S4S.S2 was sold, a large num- Der of pieces of property, which should have been sold. having been withheld. The city had no right to discriminate in this matter, but should have sold all of the property which was subject to sale.

THINKING BY MACHINERY.
souIless System to Take the Place of Brains,

From the London Express
 Man Is back number" or will be when the new society for the proper or formed in London, is fairly launched on its extraordinary career.
 Already electricity Is depriving him of the use of his legs and the typewriter of his hands, and now. thanks to Mir Marshall Bruce Williams. mans think ing power Is to become a superfuty.
 A dull, inanmate, soulless system is going to do his thinking for him and do it a thousand times better than it has ever been done before.
 This weird system is the work of MT Williams. who has stumbled upon the interesting discovery that the knowledge of the world is vast, but too deep for unaided mind of man to grapple with. And so he has just invented a little system of universal information bureaus infallible, of course-which will classify, coordinate, and assort, with startling re- suits, and save an infinite amount of wear and tear to the poor old-fashioned brain.
 The past, the present and the future are to be assimilated by this thinking mechanism. which is warranted to turn out logical, well grounded views on any subject under the sun.
 The politician of the future will Tot require to make up his mind on points of policy. Indifferent to parties and polit- ical strife. having no ax of It's own to grind, the system will be responsible for the right view.
 Color largely enters into the mental working of the bureaus that make up the thinking machine. Four broad di- visions have been adopted-spiritual rep resented by gold, vital or economic by sea blue. physical by red. and sexual by gray-green.
 But the whole chromatic scale Is drawn upon to represent the various "cross ref erences:"
 Crimson. moral: purple. esthetic; sil- yer, intellect: rose, emotional; dark green, environment; golden-brown. uniformity; orange. variety; lemon-yellow, exfoliation: gray-green. heredity and emerald green. evolution.

Absent-mInded Letter Writers

From Leslie's Weekly
 The queer slips of the absent-minded person. the funny things that people do who just forgot" and the thousand and one capers that people perform through ignorance, stupidity and sheer careless ness, all show up in large and concrete form in the annual reports of the dead letter office, from one of which we learn that this department handled the aston ishing total of 9,300,351 pieces of mall matter in single year. The total amount of money found in misdirected unad- dressed and unclaimed letters was not very large. considering the number of them. but 1t was a small fortune, never the1ess, being oyer s4s.000. Commercial pa- pers, with an aggregate face value of s1,- 399926. is an important item in this show ing of human frailty. The record of tho year. it Is said. marks a considerable in- crease over any previous year-a fact which may be referred to psychologists for explanation. Does 1t mean that care lessness Is one of the mental afflictions that increase with high civilization?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-10-07

While the totals are approximately cor rect they are not entirely so for the req son that slight irregularities in two or three county reports made it necessary to have them sent back for correction.
 The per capita for each child is a.0O. which will not be changed either way by the correction of any discrepancies of the reports referred to.
 In a number of counties there are, in addition to the county as whole. sep- arate or Independent school districts which are treated by the department of education in the same way as the coun- ties. They are indicated in the table given below by parenthasis.
 The following are the figures of the ap- portionment in detail:

remarks some seeds that you must water

Estlin's pastorate has meant to this
church and this community would be to
live the separate life of each individual
person with whom he has been associ-
ated, and then relate each life in full.

trace it, is mosaic gathered from many,

least think Of it, we may be affecting
others in their whole destiny. There is no
thought uttered by look, or word, or act,

In unfolding the word OF God, re-

OF christian service and manly character
Dr. Estlin's pastorate has been a potent
influence among us for what is best in
life. "My son, give me thy heart" was

pleasure of hearing him preach, anC
since then he has continued to hold III

the fact that there was plenty of work
for all churches in this community to
do anu he wished them all God speed.
Rev. q. Valerie Gilreath, rector of
st. Peters Church was also present
and spoke encouragingly of the minis
try of Pastor Estlin and the work he
was doing in this midst. He also paid
the members of the congregation a
compliment for their aggressiyeness
and unity of purpose and held it up as
an example. The visit and good words
of Rector Gilreath was much appre-
ciated. Rev. William FAIRIES of the
NJ. E. Church was called upon for a
few remarks and responded in happy
vein. At the conclusion of the ad-
dresses, Pastor Estlin rose and thanked
the speakers for the hearty words Of
congratulations and encouragement
given him and said they had touched
his heart. He renewed his obligations

light, our souls may be filled with God.
The tiny spark is kin to the massive sun
and the human soul to almighty God.
Godliness is GOdlikeness; for God like
the light repeats himself wherever he
shines. The sun is doubled in thousand
waters, and God is mirrored in all holy
souls. To be like the best of men is to
command admiration and love; to be
like an angel is the highest hyperbole of
common speech; but to be like God Is to
have the poor raiment of lower goodness
made white glistening TRANSPORTATION.
l congratulate both Dr. Estlin and his
friends upon this the tenth anniversary
OF his installation as pastor of the Smyrna
Presbyterian Church; and l hope we may
all enjoy many m )re years of the sweet
fellowship that for the past ten years has
existed between pastor and people.

This concluded the exercises after
which the congregation and friends

where a reception was held. Rev. and

wishes of all present and the social
evening that followed was most enjoy

Other Speakers Who Made Addresses.

Presiding Elder of the NJ. E. Church,
Rev. W. G. Koons, was the next
speaker. His words of hearty con-
gratulations and good wishes were in
terspersed with anecdote and illustra-
tions that kept the audience in happy
vein. His story of the old Texas far
mer who gave his four horses ecclesi-
astical names: "Episcopalian, ''Bap-
tist, presbyterian" and Methodist"
was amusing and to the point. The pur-
port of the story was that each had

According to the Wapanucka Press
Saturday in Wapanucka was a lively
day. A number Of dog fights were
pulled off in the morning besides a
hair pulling contest participated in by
two Indian women, and a number Of
minor disturbances. As the shades OF
the evening were falling the city mar
|shal got into miN-up with two
brothers, who were doing warpath
stunts. One Of the warpath entertain
ers received a bad bruise on the head
for his pains. As fitting climax for
such big day an Indian boy appeared
on the scene tanked up with prohlDi-
ltion booze and proceeded to demon
strate that he was a bad man from a
bad town. All of the offenders were
arrested except the dogs.
