correction l pass to the substance of the interview with the gentleman, who cham pions the cause of Anniston for the To- cation of Synodical college To this I make no objection. and am glad to know that one of the most learned of our preachers, who has so recently come into the Synod, has taken such active interest in the effort to extend the work of edu- cation for both boys and girls This is one thing, and the effort to take away from falladega school which has SO long been in it's care and cost is quite another.
 The learned doctor is mistaken when he says I am either "misinformed." or being used a "catspaw." The opinion I have is my own, to which I have as much right as the doctor has to his. and the legal and moral obligation neither he nor I can settle. though much mud died If tAe doctor had not been so fresh in the field, he would have known bet ter than to have classified me as a "catspaw' for anybody. The use of such epithets oftener loses a cause than gains it. H. l.. MCKEE.

WALKER COUNTY SHOWS
 NEW COUNTY OPPOSITION

Jasper, October 16.-(Special.) )-The following interesting letter has been made public here:
 Editor Walker County News
 Persistant rumors throughout the counties of Walker and Jefferson, es- pecially Jefferson county, that the un- dersigned were in sympathy with the purposes of H. B. No. 936. to propose an amendment to the constitution familiarly known as the new county bill" because we voted for the bill in the legislature, is our excuse for ask ing space in your paper.
 The chances are that no act of the legislature of 1907 is more greatly mis- understood than the one referred to above. It was not the purpose of the bill to establish Bessemer county, nor any other county. Any one who will take the trouble to read the caption of the bill will understand that it was a proposition to ask the voters of the state whether or not they desired cer- tain changes in the constitution, which changes are briefly defined in the bill. When the bill was before the legisla ; ture We felt that the will of the people of the state was supreme. and that we were simply following democratic doc Urine when we made 1t possible for them to say whether they wanted this

CHURCHES FIGHT
 OVER PROPERTY Presbyterians At GadSden Not
 Reconstructed MANAGERS ARE ARRESTED Telegraph Companies Protest Payment of Local License Tax, Claiming That 1t Is Almost Prohibit
 tive-SidewaIk Work.
MANAGERS ARE ARRESTED

Gadsden, October 6.-(speciaL)-T local fight among the members of the Cumberland Presbyterian church, over the matter of uniting with the Presbyterian church, U. S. A.. has assumed a new phaze. The question as to which faction was entitled to hold the church property is in the courts, but meanwhile the fac tion uniting with the northern church is in possession. Rev. w. E. Todd, the pas tor of the church, recently resigned and yesterday left with his family for Omaha, Neb. When he moved out of the manse the house was left open as was also the church. Some of the members of the opposing faction happening along the property was seized and the old Cum berlands are now in possession. Just what the next move will be on the other side is not known but no doubt fight will be made to recover possession of the church.
 Because of a failure to pay license the local managers of the telegraph com panies were today placed under arrest. The Postal manager then paid for that company under protest and the manager for the Western Union asked for and was given time to communicate with the officials of the company. The license of the companies is $lOO each which they claim is almost prohibitory.
 The last grand jury entered an earnest plea for new jail and it now seems likely that the commissioners court at it's next session will give this matter thorough consideration. The old struc- ture is not constructed so that sanitary conditions can be maintained and is also too small to meet the present needs of the county.
 The work of laying cement sidewalks in parts of the city is again well under way considerable contract was re- gently awarded to c. o. Duncan of this city and he has force of men at work. The residents of different sections of the city are petitioning the council for walk improvements.
 Dr. Fred D. Hale, a noted Baptist di- vine of Wilmington, N. C., will be in the city next week to assist in a series of revival meetings at the First Baptist church. The famous Baraca class of this church is interesting itself in these meet ings and will no doubt contribute largely toward their success

amendment or not, and the fact that 66 members of the house and 22 members of the senate voted for the bill and only 1S in the house and seven in the sen ate voted against it, is conclusive evil dence that the great majority of the members held the same view of the situation that we did. Voting for the passage of the bill to submit the amendment to the people Is no evidence to any well informed man that we would vote for the amendment. AS a matter of fact, we shall both vote against 1t, and are urging all our friends throughout the state to do the same thing.
 We wish to say further that cham pions of this bill, Dr. Ragsdale who in troduced 1t. and its godfather, MT. J. A. Estes of Bessemer, both showed us a map of their proposed new county and explained that they only wanted little strip from Walker county, not exceeding six miles long and it was all east of the river; and they as- serted a numbe CT of times that not ex- ceeding four families lived in the ter ritory they would ask for in the event the amendment should be adopted, and that t-ey only wanted this little ter ritory so as to give their new county, if they should ever have one. a better shape. The chances are now they will never have a new county. in fact we shall do all we can to prevent such a | contingency.

 The board of trustees of the university have been called to meet at the universi- ty at 10 o'clock on the morning of Oc- tober 24 The purpose of the meeting is to open bids for the furnishing of equip ment for the power plant and the en- gineering laboratories, and also for the purpose of adopting plans for the acad- emic bui1ding which will be the next structure erected on the campus.
 President Abercrombie has accepted an invitation to prepare a paper on "The Lecture System of Instruction for Under graduates" to be delivered before the National Association of State Universi- ties which meets in Washington on No- vember 16, F and Is.
 Work is progressing rapidly on Conner hall, the new engineering building or the university, and if material continues to arrive on time, the south wing will be ready for occupation before December 1. The workmen expect to begin on the cornicing and roofing the latter part of this week. When this work is completed, it will be but a short time before the in terior is finished, for with the roof on, work will not have to stop in bad wealth CT
 Moreover, after several months of idle ness work has been resumed on Smith hall, the new building for the geological and the biological departments. After the foundations of this nuilding were laid work had to be abandoned on ac- count of the fact that stone could not be procured Yesterday, however, the con tractors had their laborers at work again and it is expected that the construction will be pushed forward rapidly until the buildings are completed.
 Dr. J. W. H. Pollard, physical director and coach of the athletic teams has ac- cepted an invitation to deliver an ad- dress before the department of physical education of the Southern Educational association. which will hold its next an- nual meeting in Atlanta on December 29 to 31.

two years it would break any man that undertook to carry on a school in it. That 1t had ever been, and would con tinue to be, a white elephant and a Jonah to any enterprise.
 1 did say that if the synod wanted to move the school to Anniston that I did not care; that if they did the peo- pie of Talladega would get together, add to the present school building and maintain good female school [ spoke only my individual views, and did not assume to speak for the peo- pie of Talladega. did not believe that the synod would remove the school and at that time the Presb yterian church and the people of this com munity were making an active fight to retain 1t, and the universal belief was (and is) that it would remain here. That in accepting the property and agreeing to maintain the school here for 25 years, the synod had in cured moral and equitable obliga- tion that could neither be shirked nor evaded. The idea that the people of Talladega conceded it's removal never entered my mind. In the excess of his zeal, MT. Anderson evidently mistook the suggestion of it's removal for d concession. Very respectfully,

 To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 My attention has been attracted to some statements made by my friend Rev. J. G. Anderson, in your issue of October 13, in relation to an interview sent out from Montgomery, and first published in the Journal of that city, composing two questions namely, the Orphans home and the Presbyterian college for girls under the control of the Synod of Alabama. The former does not enter into the contro- versy the doctor attempts to raise, but in passing I note correction, inadvertently made by the young gentleman of the Journal, who sought the information Of me. I am not the president of the Or phans' home It has none, but it's super intendent and financial secretary of the home and not of the college. With this

REEVES IS CONVICTED

Anniston. October Especial )-AIrs Carrie Gill, who was charged with selling whisky was very fortunate yesterday, having won q verdict in the city court which cleared her of the charge and gave her freedom, and husband a few minutes after. She had conducted a restaurant in Piedmont for some time and the last grand jury returned an indictment, charg- ing her with selling whisky. The case was called yesterday morning. By re- sponsible Piedmont residents she proved that the word of the prosecutor, who claims to be minister of the gospel, was not worthy of belief on oath
 An interested spectator during the trial was Ed D. Hanson, who resides in Beat S. When the verdict of not guilty was read so happy was he that he applauded. He was caught in the act and brought before Judge Coleman, who assessed a fine of 2.50 for so publicly manifesting his ap- proval in the court room. He did not mind little thing like that, under the circumstances. He paid the fine joined Mrs. Gill and the couple repaired to the office of the probate court. Hanson pro- cured license and they were married in the office, Judge Crook performing the ceremony. They left at once for their home.
 The jury in the case of Collie Reaves. charged with the killing of Joel Chivers, negro, yesterday afternoon returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter and fixed Reaves' sentence at one year in the penitentiary. ReaveS will appeal the case.
 Inside of 30 minutes time yesterday aft ernoon Judge E. F. Crook, in his office, performed the ceremonies which united the lives of three couples.
 The first couple were Emory Smith and Miss Dora Crawford, whose residence was unknown to the officiating judge. Next came Joseph Heath and Mrs. Sarah Poor, who reside near Oxford Both bride and groom and in the neighborhood of 60 years old, and the ceremony was wit messed by several of the grandchildren of both of the contracting parties The other couple were E. D. Hanson and Mrs. Carrie Gill.
 Mrs. Fannie Gore died at her home at Peeks Hill yesterday morning at g o'clock. The funeral was held this afternoon with lnterment at the family burying ground at that place.
 Mrs. Gore was 70 years old and had been a resident of Calhoun county for a number of years. She was a most estimable lady and was held in high esteem by all who knew her, and her death will cause sorrow to the hearts of her many friends here and elsewhere She leaves two daughters, sister, Mrs. o. M Alexander of this city, and other rel atives.
 Preparations are being made for paving the streets recently ordered paved by the city council The Anniston Water Supply company and the Annston Elec- tric and Gas company are placing new piping under the streets in order to com ply with the ordinance which says paving shall not be disturbed for a period of five years.

Let Us Live in the Present.

Too many people live in the dis
NAL past, lingering long by Did tombs
of regret and rem"rSe.
Not a few of us live in the future,
hoping for the best and yet fearing
the worst.
Why can't we live in the present:
Happy in the achievement Of to-
day-yesterday is past and tomorrow
we may never see-today alone is ours.
And what matters the great here
after? We are convinced that the
SOUL survives and that love and hope
and'happiness are the stars which God
has set in Silken skies to guide us
ever onward and upward. Yet the
enjoyment of today'S blessings and
today'S comforts will nowise prevent
US from our share in the greater
blessings of eternity.
There is enough of love and life and
JOY in the present moment for every
human soul. Disaster and failure may
come to Vi tomorrow; and grievOuS
sorrow and trouble are sodded mounds
DER which Time has said the service
of kindly compassion. We need not
mind the trouble past or anticipate
that which is yet to come.
The evolutiOniSt may be right.
We may have lived here once before
and in a Thousand years we may pass
this way again-but that does not
concern III now. even if it were true.
If you have a kind act to do-dO it
to-day.
If you have a duty to perforn-per-
form it today.
If you have opportunity for enjoy
ment. grasp it now.
Crowd today with every hope and
joy. Leave the dead leaves of the
past, and gather the fragrant flowers
Of the preSent-Seek not to open the
bitter bud Of the future.
You can't retrieve the losses of the
past by a long-faced sorrow today;a land
sack-cloth and ashes give you no bet
ter hope for the future.
Whatever your error may have
been, whatever fate may have mark
ed your efforts of last week, OF last
month, or last year, you a plant a
firm foot on that grave of error and
let regret give place to resolve. The
Nazerene never gave better advice
than when he admonished his fol-
lowers to stake no thought of the
morrow" Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof. and the right use If
the present is the only way whereby
you can be well-prepared to meet the
future.
