Expressions to the effect that he will be hard to beat. have been heard ire quently since he announced for the place ten days ago.
 Dr. Thomas M. Owen is receiving a great many compliments on the Alabama plan of preserving history and caring for the archives of the state. In a recent is- sue of The Dial" a literary publication of Chicago. the editor. In his leading ar- tiele. on the subject of Modern Library Work says:
 Today archival science is. developed to a high degree in many states. To the careful observer of library progress there are few achievements in American library work so valuable in themselves and so promising of future scientific usefulness as that of which MT. Owens work in Alabama Is perhaps the best type, but which Is now being done In many states. There Is a significant growth in the ten dency to apply to the fostering of library interests in the state the same principles that have been applied to it's schools"

HOUSTON COUNTY IS CONSTITUTIONAL Supreme Court Holds New
 County is All Right MOBILE PLEA is DENIED John Crowley and John Craft Not Entitled to Membership on Board
 of Revenue-other Court
 Decisions.

Montgomery. February 7.-(Special.)- The supreme court holds, in an opinion written by Mir Justice Dowdell and handed down today. that the law estab- fishing the county Of Houston was prop erly passed by the legislature and that Houston, therefore, is a good county. Attack was made in this way: Gus Law was held for a crime in the county and his attorneys brought habeas corpus pro- eeedings before the circuit court to have him released, which were denied. The case was then appealed to the supreme court on the ground that the notice of the law creating Houston was not full enough to satisfy the demands of section 106 of the new constitption. The supreme court holds that it was. After reciting the history of tine making of the county. it having been authorized by the new constitution itself, and permission also being given that the counties from which il was taken, as well as itself, might come below the constitutional limits of 6o0,000 square miles, MT. Justice Dowdell holds that the notice was in every way sufficient, that it stated the substance of the law in all essential particulars, and nothing about the wording was in any sense misleading. The decision of MT. Justice Simpson on the Covington vs. Thompson case, was quoted to the effect that constitutions are made for practical purposes and not for the exercise of ju- dicial gymnastics. The notice contained the essence, abstract or compendium of the law and is entirely in the meaning of section 106 of the fundamental law of the state. It was never intended that the notice should state the proposed law In it's entirety Chief Justice Mcclellan and Associates Simpson, Anderson and Denson eoncurred

CUNNINGHAM TALKS.
Lectures at University on the Saiva-
 ton of Studies.

University, July H.-(Specal )Yester- day at 0;30 Prof. J. B. Cunningham de- livered the last and one of the best lec- lures given at the summer school this season. His subject was the "Valuation of Studies" and in the way he handled 1t Professor Cunningham showed that he had given the matter deep and careful thought.
 He divided studies into two classes, viz: Those relating to nature and those relat- ing to man. These he again divided into five groups, the former into two, inor- ganic and organic. and the later into three. theoretical. practical and aesthetic. An over-development in the former class causes an over-estimate of faith, heredi- ty and natural laws; in the latter an over-estimate of freedom and self-activ- ity He said that the man who believes in simply the practical things has him self dwarf In soul and blinded to the beauties of life: on the other hand those oNei developed in the aesthetic lose all sight of the pI lce.eal side of life, yet these are the great poets painters and SC CTS of the world
 All five of these elements must be taught in the schools at the same time that the student may learn to give the sroper value to the organic and the in organic the theoretical the practical and lhe aesthetic.

group of mere fashionables. It contained a large amount of ability and accomplish uent, some men of aristocratic family, who were also men of high character with great futures before them; some persons from the Itinerary or artistic world who possessed besides their literary or artis- tic gifts certain art of agreeable living, and some few others. especially young admitted generally for some pecu- liar quality of beauty or manner outside the ordinary canons. Money was really presupposed by the group as a group. The life they belonged to was life of the rich, the houses they met in were rich houses. But money as such had no power whatever to buy admission to their ranks, and the members of the group were at least as impatient of the claims of mere wealth as they were of those of mere vir- tue.
 "Cn the whole the group was an element of ferment and growth in the society that had produced it. It's impatience of conven- ton and restraint, the exaltation of in- tellectual or artistic power which pre- vailed in it, and even the angry opposi- ton excited by Its pretentions and its exclusiveness. were all perhaps more profitable than harmful at that moment of our social history. Old customs were much shaken the new were shaping themselves. and this daring coterie of young and brilliant people. living In one another's houses, calling one another by their Christian names. setting a num- Der of social rules at defiance, discussing books, making the fame of artists and now and then influencing politics, were certainly helping to bring the new world
 to birth. Their foes called them The Archangels, and they themselves had ac- cepted the name with complacency."
 The Archange of today Is little changed. There are still women and men who possess the social requirements of this famous London group. and who with stand all opposition They are a power and a law unto themselves. admitting to
 their circle only those who according
 to their standards will add to the exclu- siveness and the brlliancy of their group. The Archangels of modern society draw to their group an element that is more or less fashionable, and unfortunately an oc- casional member more or less degenerate -the Godfrey Ciffes.
 What produces these groups and what holds them together? Society creates them. fosters them. is entertained by
 their frivolities and amused by the gossip that the Archangels inspire. The group possibly in generation distinguishes it from preceding generations. according to
 the brilliancy of the women who are born to be Archanges or to the type of men who follow them. There is always a Mrs.
 Ascot--a William Ashe probably-and few others and there you have an Arch | angel group. A. K. w.
