School Notes

The second week of school opened
with an enrolment of 100. Among
those that entered this week are: Miss
Jessie Robinson. of Roanoke, and
William Buchanan, of Virginia,
nephew of w. Il. IHutcheson. An ur-
gent request is made of the parents
that each pupil should enter as soon
as possible and attend every day at-
ter entering, for day out means that
that pupil is a day behind the class.
Work in earnest has begun and the
pupils are realizing that vacation is
over and time for honest effort is at
hand.
A Literary Society will be organized
Friday afternoon for the higher
grades. This work, as much as is
thought expedient will be conducted
by the students themselves, intending
that they shall become familiar with
the most common parliamentary prac-
tees, cultivate independence, sell re-
lance and a willingness 10 undertake
things for themselves.

characterized as one of the most noted men the order has ever had.
 Since the foundation of the order. he declared, the membership has increased 20 per cent. every year, and in the last three or four years the increase has reached 50 Fer cent. More interest is, shown in the work of the order today than ever before. While the average dues of each member amount to only $50, the average amount of money ex- pended in charitable work is in the neighborhood of $3.50. A total of $1.000,00O Is paid in to the general treasury every years, he said, and of this amount, half a million is expended in the relief of the poor. In view of the steady growth of the order. he prophesied a future which should see the Red Men second to no organization in the world.
 Before closing, Great sachem Corker warmly commended the work done by the auxiliary order, the Pocahontas Sisters. More than $25. .OoO Is expended by them annually. he stated, in reliev- ing the suffering and distress of fami- lies of Red Men.
 At the close of the State Chiefs ad- dress the gathering repaired to the Red Mems Hall. where a substantial banquet which had been prepared was heartily partaken of.

 Marion, March 30.--(SpeciaL,-A fine audience greeted the Senior recital in elocution by Misses Ruth Hopson and Ethel Salter. at the Judson. Monday night. Miss Hopson is from Birming- ham and Miss Salter from Georgia. Miss Hopson manifested unusual poise. insight and adaptability. and held the rapt attention of the entire audience throughout the thirty-fve minutes it took to render Timothy's Quest.
 It was perhaps in this and in Tenny- sons Bugle Song that she appeared at her best though all her work was excellent. This recital had been an- ticipated with more than usual pleas ure. because Misses Hopson and Salter have become popular favorites with vated the audience with her rendition of Robert Browning's "The Sleep" and Furners's Translation of the 18th Psalm There was warmth of sympa- thy, and delicacy of feeling in these two numbers, which was a high com pliment to the young artists tempera- ment and training. In King John Act ", Scene 1, Miss Salter gave evidence of the passion of historic talent of high order. as was true in her last number
 Miss Maude Robinson gave her Sem for organ recital last Friday night. Those who have been familiar with Miss Robinson's work in music and who have ell along recognized her unU- sual gifts, anticipated a great treat. and it is not too much to say that their hopes were more than realized. Her playing gives evidence. not only of faithful practice and natural talent, but there is a breadth of style and scholarly quality of interpretation. which bespeaks the careful musician as well as the gifted performer. Tho program, ranging from the severely classic back to the modern romanti- cists was one requiring versatility of Robinson seemed to be equally at home in all styles and the taste and execu- ton she displayed were of a remarka- bly, high order. The capabilities of the great Judson organ have seldom been revealed to such good advantage as in Miss Robinsons playing of Walls tenholme Cantilene and the Wely Of- fertory.
 Altogether the young artist perform ed her difficult task admirably and the recital gave great pleasure to all who were so fortunate as to hear 1t. A pleasant feature of the evening was the presence of several handsomely attired young men, two of whom were her brothers. who served as ushers. At the conclusion of the recital delightful reception was given by Miss Robinson to the young people of her set e@ the home of her father, Major E. Y. Robinson, on Centreyille street.

 The conclusion to the Sermon on the Mount Is easily recognized as in all respects worthy of the most important composition in human language It is q solemn earnest, significant and con- vincing close. It gathers up, in practi- cal form. the fundamental principles and their consequences previously enunciated ." Creed expresses itself in conduct, faith, in works. You cannot get EscoI grapes from acacia missiles. If conduct be right. creed must be right and works justify the faith. : Knowing the will of God theoretically, and even teaching it to others is not sufficient. In the day of the test 1t will be all in vain for such persons to affirm that they have prophesied and cast out devils. The substance of religion does not consist In these things.

EufauIa Man, Who Is Chief of Order iB State, Pays Glowing Tribute
 to Works of Or-

One hundred and fifty braves from the local wigwams of the Improved Or der of Red Men gathered in the rooms of the Commercial Club last evening, to do honor to E. D. Corker of Eufaula. the Great Sachem of Alabama, who de- livered an address there. A large pro- portion of the membership of the order in Montgomery attended the meeting, which, In addition to the speaking, consisted of a reception and banquet to the State Chief.
 The address of the Great Sachem consisted of an eulogy of the teachings and tenets of the organization, its many sterling characteristics, the good 1t has done in its charitable work, and the steady and rapid growth of the order since It's founding.
 Hon. Tyler Goodwin presided at the meeting, and introduced the speaker of the evening, wSo was greeted with a round of applause.
 Introducing his subject by a passing reference to the birth of the Red Men in the period of the American Revolu- ton, Mir. Corker demonstrated the prin- ciples which make the order admired by Americans. The order appeals to the patriotic sentiments of the Ameri- can people," he said. because of its traditions and ceremonies. Americans admire the quality of bravery and cour- age. the most distinctive quality of the American Indian"

 Such men as J. T. Headley. Hon. A. A. Wiley and Oscar w. Underwood, he said, were members of the order. Pres ident Roosevelt, he pointed out, had recently been made a brave. He also paid a glowing tribute to the memory of the late Thomas H. Watts. whom he
