THE SYNODICAL COLLEGE
 AT FLORENCE, ALABAMA
BY AN OLD PUPIL.

was . Mir. stebbins. a man highly thought of. He was connected for years with the school. He was fol- lowed by Mr. Nichols, a red-headed, hlgh-tempered, disagreeable man, who was regarded as little else than. a bear by the girls, so his stay was not long. He was followed by very able, fine man from Georgia. MT. Rogers. He was president. during the snost prosper ous years of the school Every de- partment was conducted By fine teach CTS. There was splendid German professor of music. Professor Neumay- CT, with competent assistants, Music was never taught more successfully. the plano. the violin. the guitar and pipe organ. The professor was proud of his class. and the frequent musl- calls and concerts given in the chapel were enjoyed by large and apprecia- tive audiences. The high operas were rendered, when the girls dressed in the required costumes.
 A native Frenchman taught French, and in the entertainments in the school, which were frequent. there were cred itable recitations' in French and com positions read in French.
 There was always large class in art, in which everything in art of the day was taught beautiful work in oil paintings done here, beuutify the homes of many of the old pupils In many of our States. The President of the Board of Trustees was a great friend to the school. he did a great deal for the pleasure of the girls, and they were devoted to him. He was at one time in- vited to the art room, where he was in- formed that they were going to paint his portrait. so he had his first sitting. and the picture progressed. each girl giving strokes of her brush to the work. When completed it was pre- sented to their friend, who ever prized 1t as one of his most valuable treas ures. .
 Every pupil dreaded the examina- tions, at which time the chapel was filled to overfiowing. Business in the town was almost suspended. Every body attended. There was then none of the humbuggery about written ex- aminations, the classes were called up to take seats on the stage, and the eX- animation of what had been gone over in six or twelve months was held, each girl was required to stand when recit- ing. When the teachers mad finished with their examinations, there was an invitation extended to any one in the audience to come forward and exam inc the class The invitation was al- ways accepted and we only felt thank Ill. If by only one. We were drilled through the whole course in spelling. We were taught to spell and could then read Few children now spell or read we'll

They were many years in the school and so high ly valued. useful in the church and Sunday School. delightful women in so- ciety. a blessing in the school room not only fine teachers but dearly loved by the pupils. but everything with time breaks down. and these nne women af- ter years were no longer acceptable in the school. They returned to their Northern home and friends where they wrote book against the Sout. rc which Uncle Toms Cabin" was, tame In comparison. The name of the book was Peter Still" the same name of the hero of the story, which was the name of the foreman on a plantation where they had been visitors, entertained en- 1oyed, made queens of. It was eyer
 thus with our Southern people. But this Is a digression from the school ] was a member of the class that grad uated the last year that MT. Rogers was President of the school, which he gave up because of his wife's ill-health. Dr. William H. Mitchell was the next President, he had beerf for many years the Presbyterian minister at Florence. The school was large and fiourishing in his hands until his health gave way. MT J. D. Anderson followed him. He naQ large Schoot Of lovely girls from all over the South. Afterwards he bought school property at Huntsville, Ala, and for many years had a large school there.
 The next President was Mir. Frierson, a Presbyterian minister. The school did not prosper with him, and his health failed afterwards. Dr. Bard well, a lovely Christian gentleman, and Presbyterian minister, was President of the school. His health broke down, and in year or two he died, impress ing all that there seemed a fatality about ministers giving up the preach ing of the gospeb for other work. The old school gradually went down. Un- fortunately the trustees Tn an effort to restore the school to it's past prosper ity, through the Legislature was able to borrow money to add another story to the first building, thus incumbering the property. The school never recov- cred until a little later, the State Normal College, and the public schools received all the patronage. thus closing the doors forever of the Florence Sy- nodlcal Female College.
 This was a Presbyterian School, un- der the direction of the Synod of the Presbyterian Church. The property Ia- ter was sold, and bought by a Yankee for trifie, who sold small portion of the land to the government at a big price to erect government building, before which time the beautiful and dearly loved old buildings will be de- stroyed for which so many hearts are aching.

Florence is one of the oldest towns in Alabama. It is situated in North Alabama, on the Tennessee River. five miles from Tuscumbia. another old town in the State. and three and a half miles from Sheffleld, a prosper ous manufacturing and furnace town, less than twenty years old. These towns are connected by electric cars, bringing them very close together. Two railroads connect Florenee/ with the outside .woEld.f the L~ and N. and the Southern. iSa
 Florence has always been a school town, and until eighteen years ago 1t was small place of not more than l,500 people. When Birmingham and other larger places had their booms the contagion extended to Florence. since which time 1t has stedily grown in extension and population, until now 1t claims 10000 people, and has de- veloped into a manufacturing town. It has one furnace. two large cotton fac tories, an extensive wagon factory, from which wagons are shipped all over the country. They have gas and electric plant, a fertilizer factory. stove factory, a slave and spoke fac tory. It has also a State Normal School to which girls and boys are sent from every part of the State; two large public schools for white chill dren They have six churches. some of them new and handsome buildings. Florence has the advantage Of being situated in an agricultural district.
 The Tennessee is a beautiful stream. one mile wide at Florence, with its high rock bluffs. here and there beau tiful and valuable islands 10 sight, some of them as large as 700 acres in size, yielding as in California ev- erything fine that Is planted on them.
 When Florence was laid off for town almost a~ Hundred years ago, by Mir. Sanoner, an Italian. who named the new town for his home in Italy, a land company was formed. known as "The Cypress Land Company" This company gave two large and beautiful lots In the center of the town for school property, one for a girls school. the other for a boys school. I was a child 10 years old when my mother entered me at school in the beautiful synodi- cal school building, just then com pleted. It was a day school The building. large square. two-story brick, with nine large rooms. broad halls on both floors, and a very broad colonade, with immense colonial pillars, as high as the brick walls surrounded the building. Several years later it was decided to erect another commo- dious three-story building for school purposes, and use the first building as a boarding department for the school. This school was for many years one of the largest and most popular girls colleges in the South. At that time our schools were all supplied with Northern teachers. We had no South ern teachers except the president, and when satisfactory they would be re- tained for years.

Don't Be JeaIOus.

Jealousy is such a mean, small pas. sion. Yet 1t seems that by far the larger number of humanity are beset by 1t.
 It has hideous power to blind the eyes to all that is bright and beautiful in life. Under its balefui influence everything Is distorted.
 Jealousy is a recognition of the SUI periority of some one else over our selves. Perhaps that is why 1t hurts so.
 It is not pleasant to feel that another has more charm, more power to attract, But If this Is so, perhaps some fault lies in us, Are we as charming. as gentle, as gracious as We can be. or have we spent ourselves in envy and tears?
 The thing to do is not to waste time and nerve to force In resentment, but to make the most of ourselves-to cul- tiVate whatever charm We have by joyousness. cheeriness. good temper, patience and kindllness.

EyENTFUL LIFE ENDED
Robert Glaze, Former Polk
County Boy, Dies In Cali
f0rnia.

Robert Glaze, former resident OF
Polk county and son Of the late Reu-
ben Glaze, died in the state prison hos
pital at tSan Quentin, California, few
days ago, after an illness Of several
months duration. The body was
turned over to his sister, Mrs. Cora
Chamberlain, of Aberdeen, Wash,
and was buried at San Rafael.
Although a comparatively young
man, Robert had led an eventful life,
life in which there was much OF
tragedy and sorrow. While mere
boy, he went from Dallas to Tacoma,
Wash, and secured employment in
the Hotel Fife, then the leading hotel
OF that city. A few years later he went
to New Zealand, where he became
manager of large hotel In the city OF
Auckland. He remained in that coun-
try several years and then returned to
San Francisco to become chief clerk
Of the Baldwin hotel. Later, in part
nership with San Francisco man,
he leased that well-known hos
telry and conducted it with great sue
cess for several years. One fatal day
he became involved in a quarrel with
his partner, and in the heat Of the
row, drew pistol and shot him dead.
He was arrested, and, after long
trial, in which it was proved that there
were many mitigating circumstances
in his favor, he was sentenced to life
He was confined in
the penitentiary at San Quentin,
where he proved a model prisoner,
being we'll liked by the officers and
the inmates of that institution. He
was a member Of the Catholic church.
Robert was a young man of fine
social qualities, and is kindly remem-
bered by the friends of his boyhood
lays. The family Of which he was a
and which was prominent in
he pioneer days of Polk county, has
'nly two surviving members-Mat-
hew Glaze, of Buell., and Mrs. Cora
chamberlain, of Aberdeen, Wash.
