PUBLIC OPINION.

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
You have often heard that maxim ooh,
consistency, thou art a jewel" do not
know where it originated, except that 1t
certainly did not have our city council
for its source.
The council has prohibited the playing
Of ball on the public square for the reason
that stray ball or foul ball might in
jure some innocent bystander, possibly
lady or child. or perchance demolish a
show window Horse swapping on the
public square received blow in the So
lar plexus for the same reason. Both are
good ordinances.
This morning witnessed scene. dis
graceful and cruel in the extreme, where
lives and property were in jeopardy, and
| wondered if any members of the coun-
Gil were present. A wild horse or young
horse was being broken" He plung-
ed, reared and jumped. At critical mo-
ments one specuated as to whose front
door or show window the team would
first dart. Ladies' sought safety in the
stores and men made haste to remove
property from near the scene. The ami
NAL was whipped, beat in the face with
sticks and boards while the assembled
crowd cheered and jeered.
So far as the writer is Individually con-
cerned, he has no property on the streets
and is doubtless agile enough to get out
of the way during these horse. breaking
performances, but as a citizen he desires
to add his protest to many others and re-
quest the council to not consume its en-
tire supply of prohibitives in base bali
and other petty annoyances, but give us
protection where it is most needed.
Very truly,
EUGENE TRAVIS.

PROFESSOR j. A. BABER RETURNS
TO ). N. u.
SUGAR TREE, May is.

The daily papers announce the re-
turn Of Prof. j. A. Baber, founder
of the Southern Normal Universi-
ty at Huntingdon, Tenn, to the
head of that noted institution. He
was asked to return by the unani-
mious vote of a large mass meeting
held there few days ago. He was
also asked to take the superintend-
ency of the city schools of Hunt
ingdon. Not only SO, but large
sum of money was subscribed by
the citizens with which to make ex-
tensive improvements and equip
ments. This means great things
for the institute and for the general
interest of education. Professor
Baber has an established reputa-
ton as an educator of ability and
great influence. After leaving
Huntingdon in 1901, he was for
two years at the head of the CLASH
cal department of the Southern
Normal school at Bowling Green,
KY, for one year dean of the Teach
ers College of the Southwestern
Baptist University at Jackson, and
during the current scholastic year
he has achieved most remarkable
success in building up the Hall
Moody Institute at Martin. He
voluntarily resigned all these posi-
tons and returns to Huntingdon
to take up the work he laid down
four years ago. He will doubtless
have greater success now than ever
before.

The Defiant Drummer,

cit was right funny" said Uncle Hosea, telling of the orchestral con cert. "A smart Aleck lookin' feller set in the middle. an all ter oncet the lit tie man at the end O the line hit the big drum a sassy rap. Well, the smart Aleck feller shakes a little stick at the drummer, an what does he do but hit her up ag'in jest ter show he was as good as the next man. An, by links. he didn't take no back talk-or, rather. no orders-from the smart Aleck man, because he just kept a-whackin' that big drum in spite O the boss a-shakin' that stick, as if ter say he'd catch it if he didn't quit. Yes, sir; gloried in his spunk, if he was little. An' at the end O the tune he whooped it up on that drum harder than ever. A little man for nerve every time."
