Many attended the clinic at the insane hospital, which Dr. Searcy conducted for the pleas ure and instruction of those who cared to come; a number went on outings to woods near the university; the most stu dous put in the day in study in their rooms or under the wide-spreadfng branches of the oaks on the campus.
 At night almost the entire summer school student body and faculty attend ed an enjoyable reception held by Dr. and Mrs. Abercrombie at the presidents man. sion. In the receiving line besides the host and hostess, were Mrs. H. c. Gun nels of Montgomery and a number of professors and their wives. In honor Of the day, the spacious parlors were deco rated with small United States flags and red, white ad blue crepe tissue In addi- tion to these decorations, flowers in pro- fusion were banked here and there in such a way as to add beauty to the scene. The pleasure of the evening was added to by the refreshing frappe served by Misses Myrtle Merrill and Jean McCorvey and the dainty candies that were continually passed around among the guests by little Misses Clare Abercrombie and Louise Gunnes This reception will be remem- bered by those who were present as one of the many enjoyable features of this session of the summer school.
 This morning Miss Nimmo Green ob Montgomery read a very helpful paper before the general assembly on the sub ject of School Libraries" Miss Green said that the day of subscription libraries has passed and that it is the duty of the state to give the children an oppor- tunity to read, for the library Is one of the most potent factors in the develop ment of public intelligence. Miss Green then gave a brief history of the library movement, saying that twenty-nine states of the Union have taken steps to promote the establishment of public libraries. Many interesting statistics were given, which showed Massachusetts to be lead ing in this movement, with the southern

states tagging behind. Next Miss Green outlined the plan of work adopted by the Alabama library commission, and closed with some excellent thoughts, tell ing her hearers that 1t Is fully as inn portant to inculcate in the children a taste for good books as 1t is to teach them to read, else you are giving them a tool with which they make work in- jury upon themselves.
 Tonight in Clark hall a lecture very novel to many and thoroughly instruc- tive to all was delivered by Dr. Eugene A. Smith, university professor of geology and mineralogy and state geologist on Some Extinct Animals in the United States" The lecture comprehending fish es, reptiles, birds, and mammals, was fully illustrated with many fine pictures showing readily the change and develop ment that has taken place in many anil mals such as the rhinoceros, the cat the horse and the elephant. As the pie lures were thrown upon the screen, Dr. Smith told many interesting and enlight- ening facts about the animals represent ed and the times at which they lived.

BUSY IN MAYORS COURT

Bessemer, July 5.-(Special) )-The mass meeting at the Rebie hall this afternoon was an enthusiastic and well attended one. One of the prime objects of the meeting was to discuss the Greater Bes- semer bill. Speeches were made by l. A. Lewis, F. H. Lopez, Pinkey Scott, E. II. Dudley, Dr. Ragsdale ". s. Gilbert and others. There is some opposition to the proposed bill but at the meeting this afternoon those in favor of the bill were in the majority. A committee will be ap- pointed to go to Montgomery with Dr. Ragsdale and do everything possible to get the bill through.
 Another matter of importance was the discussion of the closing of the different streets and avenues by the Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic railroad in this city. The closing and blocking of the streets is bitterly opposed, and resolu- tions were adopted, the object of which will be to prevent the road from doing any legslating to allow them to close the streets.

 .'Yes sir"
 The witness said he saw Pettbone open and read a letter. Later he went to the postofhce and registered a letter from him.
 What was put into the letter?" "A union card and a Masonic charm" That's the last you saw of the let ter?'

AMERICAN METHODS AT PANAMA.

Nothing is too great daunt the ambition of American
giants of enterprise
The great De essep amazed the world by successfully
digging the big ditch through the level sands of Suez but
he failed dsastrousy before the stpendous difficulties
at Panama that the world long declared the work never
could be accomplished Since the great De Lesseps failed

A. M. Bangs the chief contractor of the $500" canal

W. j. Oliver, of Tennessee and the Wilderness the
largest employer of negro labor in the world who has 40

mountain, dammng the Tennessee river and thrusting
railroads through Louisiana cypress swamps, will extend
his methods to Panama. He will go down to Panama with

GOOD NATURE IN BUSINESS.

Down in New Orleans they have just abolished by law
the tlme-honored and unique custom of 'agnappe'
For many years the merchants of that peculiar city
nave maintained the pleasing and harmless practice of
giving little favors with each purchase But in these
modern days the petty custom has been turned against the
merchants by grafters. And the law has their
protection.
Originally and for years the practice stood as an ex-
preston of cheerfuness and kindness in business tran
sactlons Though the practice abolished let hope the
spirit may remain and spread.
There is lagnappe which ought to be UNIVERSAL
and which is natural legitimate and lawfu-a pleasant
word and friendly smile with every package
The best capital any put into his business is
cheerfulness.
1t can be cultivated, and any man who will can he

around happiness than being a millionaire in money.
man may spend his money, and in proportion he
spends it he reduces his principals but cheerfuness is

principal increases.
Cheerfuness draws dividends all the time It turns
strangers into friends disappointment into hope failures
into successes.
where generous need of cheerfuness given along with
the purchase.
The travelling salesman furnishes good example of
the actual cash value of cheeruness in business His
storles his jokes and his hearty laugh cnch many con-
tract that has been held open for him because he is good
fellow.
The lawyer doctor who is good fellow has more
friends and gets more good will and more business than
the crusty fellows do.
1t is proverbia that the politician owes most of his
success to his joity He may be small man-often is
but In his atmosphere of compaisan good humor he is
acceptable when ADLER without cheer is uncon-

People like to deal with the cheerful man. It makes

he really was to blame for their
separation, an argument that the
five years of their parting he had
