Worth While.
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

By Ella Wheeler wilcox.
'Tis easy enough TO be pleasant.
When life flows along like song;
But the man worth while is one who will smil,
When everything goes dead wrong:
For the test of the heart is trouble
And IL always comes with the years.
But the smile that is worth the praise of eartt
Is the smile that comes through tears.
IL is easy enough 10 be prudent
When nothing tempts you TO stray;
When without or within no voice ofsin
Is Turing your soul away;
But it's only negative virtue
Until 1t is tried by fire.
And the life that is worth the honor of earth
Is the one that ses!sts desire.
BY the oynic. the sad, the fallen
Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds highways numbered today;
They make up the item OF life.
But the virtue that conqners passion,
And the sorrow that hides in smile
II is these that are worth the homage of earth
For we find them but once in awhile.

Dan Patch Air Line News.

Electric interurban in general and the
Dan Patch Air Line in particular have
been recognized by Minnesota courts
as common carriers with the right to
acquire land by condemnation when
ever it is needed for the building of
their line.
This is the effect of ruling by
Judge Brown of the Hennepin County
District Court in the condemnation
proceedings brought by the Minnea-
polls Rochester and Dubuque Traction
Company against A. Dill, farmer of
Bloomington, who refused to recognize
the benefits of the new line, and would
not accept fair offer on his land
wanted for right of way. Mr.. Dill's
attorney opposed the granting of the
Company's petition and raised objec.
tions on every possible point, even
going to the extent of questioning the
Company's charter. its right to tran.
sact business in the states through
which it runss and its right of emf
| nent domain.
/ All of these objections were overruled
by the Court, the Company was given
a complete bill Of good health"
while the Dan Patch Air Line and all
other electric interurubans, existing or
in prospect, were gwen the legal assur.
ance that they have all the rights of
common carriers. when Judge Brown
granted the Company's petition and
appointed three commissioners who
to appraise fifty foor strip across
| Dill's farm. The commissioners
will proceed at once, and it is general
~ conceded by real estate and business
men that the compensation allowed
will be very small, as the benefits
ACQUIRING to the farm from the new
road are undoubtedly enough to
counterbalance the value of the fifty
foot right of way.
The decision in this case, which
was considered test by the Company,
is valued in that the Air Line officials
have nothing to fear from the few
obstructionists that live along the
right of way as they do in every
community.
Work will be pushed harder than
ever.

MUST RAISE VALUATION.
John B. Powell Holds Conference With
 Bibb County Officials.

Centreville, May 31.-(Special. .)-Capt. John B. Powell, a member of the state tax commission, was here today, and had a conference with the board of coun- ty commissioners, the tax assessor and the tax collector of Bibb county. He stated in a pleasant but in no uncertain way that the tax value in this county must be placed at GO per cent of the actual value of the property. He paid especial attention to the valuation of mineral and timber rights and seemed to indicate that he thought such valuation entirely too low Many people here view the appre- hension, if not alarm, the tendency to in- crease the tax valuation of property in Bibb county. This county for many years has had a vigilent back tax com missioner and property has been brought up to high valuation when compared with many other sections of Alabama.
 J. T. Casey, a highly respected citizen of Bibb county, met with a painful and serious accident on yesterday. He was cleaning a 44-calibre pistol when in some way 1t was discharged, and the bullet penetrated his leg just below the knee. He is resting as well as could be expected under the circumstances

 A more impressive graduating exercise vas never witnessed In the halls of the college. President Moore was very happy in ner remarks and a storm of applause filled the house when the last event was finished. A magnificent programme of music was carried out.
 The town was crowded with friends and patrons of the college and every exercise was largely attended. The debate be- tween the George Eliot and James Childs Literary societies, participated in by three young ladies from each society, was perhaps the most enjoyable feature of the entire week and the readiness with which they debated the question and the sound argument and excellent manner of each speaker, was one of the most at- tractive features C the commencement exercises.

SCHOOL CLOSES
 AT JACKSONVILLE
PRESIDENT c. w. DAUGETTE MAKES A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL WHICH IS VERY GRATIFYING.

Jacksonville, May Especial )-Com- mencement exercises of the State Normal school came to close Thursday with an address to the graduating class by John D. McNeel of Talladega. Sixteen diplo- mas were awarded. The list of gradu- ates is as follows: Misses Mary Andrews, Laura Waites, Virginia Hoffman, Willie Harris, Weston Payne, Jessie Irwin and Mrs. Eliza Haralson Messrs. L. H. Har- alson, w. F. Finch, H. C. Nixon, l.. J. Johns, c. c. Moseley, Leon Dean, S. M. Ingram J. F. Posey and D. H. Sparks, from all sections of the state.
 The following was the programme for the day.
 Music orchestra.
 Prayer, the Rev. W. H. Briscoe.
 Song, America.
 Address, MT. John D. McNeel.
 Music, orchestra.
 Short address by President c. W. Dau- gette and delivery of diplomas.
 Presentation of flowers to graduates.
 Song, God Be With You Till We Meet Again"
 Benediction, the Rev w. T. Allen.
 Professor Daugette, in awarding diplo- mas to the graduating class, made a most appropriate address. In the course of his remarks he recounted the history of school for the past seven years, which shows a most astonishing, as well as grat- flying condition.
 He said: Seven years ago, in the year 1900, the State Normal school at Jackson vile received from the state an annual appropriation of $25OO. At that time it had in the Normal department only twen- ty-f1ve students, and among these there was not single boarder from abroad These with the training school constituted nothing more than a local high school. The state increased the appropriation to %,50OOO0 and conditions improved. Again the state increased the appropriation 60 $l0,000, and the school continued to grow and broaden. Next year the school will get from the state $15.000 and will con tfnue to grow in numbers and enlarge it's scope
 In 1900 the school faculty consisted of five people. Now the faculty consists of fifteen people. From twenty-five normal pupils in 1900 we have grown to 400 pupils, 375 of whom are from abroad, only twenty-five being residents of the town. In the training school there are 175 pupils. From this 1t can be seen how rapidly the school has grown under the direction of President Daugette, and the necessity there is for enlargement of the building. This, the people of Jacksonville will at- tend to, and it is confidently expected that the coming session will show an attend ance of at least 600 Normal students"
 MT. Neels address was considered to be one of the most scholarly and finished ever delivered before a graduating class since the organization of the school.
