 Miss Martha Young of Greensboro, one of Alabama's most gifted authors and readers, entertained the large crowd for over an hour with stories of the old south and it's plantation life. Miss Young dialect poem, "The Bluebirds" is an ex- quiste conception and deserves to rank with anything that has heretofore ap- peared in this field.

 Montgomery, October 17.z ospeeial)- J. B. Hobdy, president of the Seventh District Agricultural school, located at Albertville, believes that the only way to interest the children in the country in a more progressive spirit along educational lines is to make the farms attractive, and to do this he suggests that scientific methods of farming be encouraged in all sections.
 In writing a letter to Commissioner Of Agriculture Wilkinson he offers his ser vices and advice in any way to promote the interest of agriculture and scientific progress in the state. He recognizes that the problem is to interest the children and to get them to follow up the work that the state is trying to do.
 J. M. Atkinson, head of the Eighth Dis trict school, at Athens. believes that the agricultural schools are going to prove the most effectual educational methods, especially in the country territory. They bring the boys and girls in close touch with nature, and reach all the homes which very often the city schools are not able to do. Like the other agricultural school presidents, he offers his aid and support in any movement that will help to bring about better educational condi- tions in the country districts. Letters from these two gentlemen are quoted be- low, which are a part of the series run ming in this correspondence for the past three or four weeks.
 Mir. Hobdys Opinion.
 MT. Hobdy says: ''In reply to your in quiry of recent date as to the most eff fectual way our schools can interest and benefit the people contiguous to them, especially as pertains to scientific agri- culture. I desire to say that this problem has been under process of mental solu- tion with me for some time. am now thoroughly convinced that we can best reach the children and inject into the homes that interest which will revolu- tionize farming methods and give to the farms ar attractiveness which will hold the boys and girls on them by interest ing the parents in the practice of scientific methods of farming That it is practi- cally impossible to reach this generation of parents is question that does not admit of argument. The only thing, then, that Is left for us to do is to begin the education of our boys and girls who are to be the parents and farmers of the next generation.
 ''Throughout our sphere of influence we are disseminating knowledge of the scientific principles of plant culture and farm management. and trust that I may be pardoned for saying that we are meet ing with encouraging results.

Montgomery, October IT, Especial )-The United States court of appeals, which eonvenes in Montgomery on Monday. will have little litigation Of special interest. the cases of the state against the rail roads having been transferred to the New Orleans term.
 The controversy growing out of the ap- pointment of 9lex Birch as referee in Birmingham will be heard, the point benig the right of Judge Thomas G. Jones, judge of the northern and middle dis tricts, to make appointment in the north ern district, Judge Oscar Hundley of the northern district, contending that he. can not.
 Because of the great size of the records it was impossible for lawyers to brief the railroad rate litigation cases in time for this term, as result of which it was agreed by all, at the suggestion of the clerk, that they would go over to No vember. Attorney General Garber. and Associate Counsels Weakley and Selei- mer, have been busy several days on the states side, which is very voluminous showing.

h a report to the judge of the court the Montgomery county grand jury recom- mended that in all cases of infracton of the prohibition laws hard labor be a part of the punishment, and that no one be let off with fine. 1t is taken to be sig nificant inasmuch as the state law will soon be in effect and there will be, no doubt great deal of violation, as has been in other counties
 It was also suggested that there would be less stealing in the county if there were no places where stolen goods could be disposed of. Theft is for the most part by negroes and it is known that many places exist where they can get rid of goods without the fear of arrest. Out of 2S9 cases the grand jury found 137 true bills. Sheriff Horace Hood was commended for buying blood hounds at his own expense for use of the county, that being thought showing that he was ready to make every effort to overhaul criminals.
