RiUalry ODer the Location Of
 High Schools in Many Counties

County, headed by Representative W. L. Lee. This delegation came to Mont gomery In the interest of Columbia, which is the only municipality making 2 bid for the high school in Houston County so far.
 The third delegation was from Ram dolph County and was headed by Hon John W. Overton. This delegation sought to locate the school in Randolph County at Wedowee.
 Perhaps the most heated fight for the location of high school is in Talla- poosa County. There was a delegation at the capitol to see Superintendent Gunnels yesterday from Carrville. headed bv Mir. A. M. Carr. The other municipalities in this County which are applicants for the establishment of the high school are Dadeville. Camp Hill and Jackson's Gap.
 Tn addition to these delegations. not A mail comesein which does not bring one or more applications from some of the small towns in the State.
 So far Superintendent Gunnels has not decided on the location for any of the high schools, as it is yet year be- fore any of them are expected to be in operation, and before the States ap- propriation towards their palntainance will be available.

Tn the relaxation of business that is / now evident at the Capitol there is at least one department where there IS unwonted activity. and where there Is likely to be considerable for the next two or thre weeks. This is in the off, fee of State Superintendent of Educa- ton Gunnels.
 Yesterday Superintendent Gunnels entertained no less than fouf delega- tions from different sections of the State. all of whom came to the capital fin the interest of high schools in their communities. The awakening to the benefits of the high school bill have been a little slow. but since the matter has been brought to the attention of the several counies through The Adver- tiser they have gone to work in earn est.
 In DeKalb County there is a lively fight between Collinsville and Fort Payne. Yesterday a delegation from Fort Payne. headed by Judge w. c. D.

The inducements offered by the two communities are about the same so far but both declare that they will make a more liberal proposition in the next fsw days.

London. September ]


Mr.. George Edward Wade. the English sculp-
tor IS to visit America this autumn or in the
early winter He seldom exhibits work at the
Academy. but has received 4 large measure Of
patronage from royalty and has executed many
commissions for statues and monuments in
India. South Africa and other parts Of the
empire as well as in the kingdom itself one
would have 10 make q journey around the world
.n order to form a comprehensive Judgment Of
Che value of his work. yet an interesting
glimpse Of the range and variety OF his pro
Suctions be obtained At his studio in Full
ham Road. The first impression I received in
ihis studio, crowded with models, completed
yudicS and unfinished work that of the
eTitalty Of the portraiture. Close by the door is
the seated figure of Muthuswamy Tyce a ma
tive judge. designed for Madras 1t seems to
be pulsating with life; the hands have the
stealthy qualities OF the Oriental claw and
utterly unlike AngIo-Saxo hands; the pose is
relaxed and flexible. with wariness and caution
expressed with subtlcty: the face is alert,
sourccful. crafty and good-natured. The work
IS vitalized with racial characteristics II serves
as an eptome Of as well as an Introduction TO
the other works in the studio Mr.. Wade con-
tends that the sculptor must master the char
acter and personality of his subject and express
the spirit Of It That must be in him bcfore
it can come out in the sculpturcd form: and
that spirit is the life Of the work 1t has been
caught and then released in the bust portrait of
the sculptor's father, Canon Wade, which IS
not cold and formal, but vital impersonaton
of character. It has also been reproduced in
the vigorous and noble head of Mr.. Gladstone in
old age; sharp featured an eagle-an old
Tory would probably say as a vulture. and the
Grand Old Man does seem to be swoopng down
upon his prey-and terrible and awe-inspiring
as a prophet in the intensity of moral power
and righteous Indignation. There has been no

not give any early Indications of his ruling pas
sion. He did not model with dough in the
brcadpan with clay in the back yard. A
cergyuan's son, he was well educated and was
looking forward to a career at the tar when, by
accident, his bent disclosed. During an
Idle hour in Rome he made a rapid drawing of
antique statuary and showed 1t to a sculptor,
who pronounced II exceedingly good. "Of
course" added the sculptor you have been
taught craftsmanship and have practised it
steadily" Mr. Wade found it difficult to
vince hn that it was the first drawing he had
ever undertaken He tried his hand similar
sl1etchos and took them to the sculptor, who
showed them to other artists. When they were
convinced that these were from unframed

Having discovered his talent, he developed it in
his own way. He did not join the Academy
