AFTER CHILL YESTERDAY,
 FAIR WEATHER EXPtCIED

The official record of the Weather Bureau was 5t degrees at 2 o'clock yesterday morning The mercury rose steadily during the morning and until o'clock, when tho highest point of the day. 61 degrees was reached.
 While the temperature was chilly yesterday morning, sri1i lower records have been taken during the early days of May, Tn 1906 a record of 4S do grees was taken on May 10, and from May [ to Ii of that year the ternpera- ture was ly degrees each morning more or less. Tn 1898 the thermometer registered as low as 4J oegrees on May I. and in 1891 on May and 8 the tenn perature was 46 and 4s degrees re- spectiyely In 1890 temperature ct 1s degrees was recorded on May 8.
 It was the extreme dryness or the air, causing rapid evaporation. that made the cold seem more noticeable
 The storm center, causing all or the rain a day or two ago has moved to the Middle Ohio Valley and while rain was quite general in the northern districts, fair and cooler weather pre- vailed in the South and West under the influence of an area Of hign par crneter extending from North Dakota to Southern Texas.

CHAPTER v. The Need of Knowing.


 When Stephen announced her inten- tion of going with her father to the Petty Sessions Court, there was a sort of consternation amongst the female population of Normanstand and Nor wood. Such thing had not been heard of in the experiences of any of them. Courts of Justice were places for men; and the lower courts dealt with a class of cases. It was quite lady could get such an idea.
 As for Miss Laetiia Rowly she was simply in a state of militancy. She fully recognized to herself that she had a difficult task before her. for she was by now accustomed to Stephens quiet method of having her own way. For three years past the girl had set herself resolutely down to certain branches of study and did not seem to finch from conclusions resulting from any of them. In Miss Rowly's young days political economy was not a sub Ject which ladies were supposed to un- derstand, or to have any traffic in. As for sociology 1t was considered by the same class of women to be a sort of unknown terror, something in the na- ture of anarchy and infdelity. if not so overtly indecent as either of them. As to physiology. it was simply a word in use amongst scientific men, and as- sociated in ordinary minds with lint and scalpels and that new creation of mans mind aesthetic"-whatever 1t might mean. Such terms as amor ph ous" or formative influences" did not exist. Sex" or sexual" were not words which could be used lightly even amongst women; or ever except on oc- casions of necessary gravity. before men at all.
 Knowing the gravity of the task be- fore her Miss Laetitia made a careful toilet before driving over to Norman

A.-.,sta hour yesterday afternoon the High School Commission aooPteu A resolution which. in effect, postpones the selection of the site for nish school in .Cullman County until a1ter June 27. when an election Of the peo- niA In that county will be held. An agreement providing for the detaiis TOT such an election has been submitted to the Commission.
 The members of the Commission. all of whom voted for the resolution, make 1t known in the resolution that 1t was only on petition of the contest ing towns in Cullman County that the commission. decided to leave the mat ter to 8 popular vote. The Cominis- sion, under the law regulating the high schools and their establishment could not properly order an election Tn any county for determining the ioea- ton. In this case, 1t is only ratI- 6cation of an agreement for an elect ion voluntarily entered into oy uotn Cullman and Hanceville citizenA.
 Tt is predicted that things will he we'll stirred up in the county at the north end of the State. At one time the City of Cullman, which is the coun- ty seat of Cullman County, seemed 70 he A sure winner in this contest. but towards the finish. running ike Sas- vador, the Town of Hanceville to tne south or Cultuidn anu ~'-@ Louisville and Nashville Railroad, forE- ed to the front and, 1t may be said. is running neck and neck by securing an election.
 By the agreement. Hanceville and CuIiman leaders have named each an arbiter who are to select third par tv. all three of whom will select the managers and clerks of the election on June 27. The expenses of the pri- mary are to be borne equally by tn" two towns
 One of the features of the election hitherto unpublished is the agreement that the losing town shall do all tp their power to help the winner build the most magnificent high school with in the resources of both places. IL tF understood that 1t virtually means that the pledged cash of the losing town will be added to the fund raised in the winning town for the construction of the school This could not be off1- cialiy verified. however, and 1t Is prob- ably relying too muen Sn the altruis> tic.
 The towns of Cullman and Hanee- vile pledged about the same amount of cash, 1t Is said, both offering Sl6.' 900 for the building Tn" other terms seem to have been aboGt equal. When these things were apparent to the Commission and the peticion was sub mttted for an election 10 settle the question, the popular vote method re- ceived the sanction of the Commits sion.

 As she sat now in the train, with some formulation of memory already accomplished in the two hours of soli- tude her first comment, spoken half audibly. would have surprised her teachers as much as 1t would have sur. prised herself, if she had been con- scious of 1t: for as yet her think ing was not self-conscious.
 Surely I am not like thatn'
 It was of the women she had been thinking. not of the men. The glimpse which she had had of her own sex had been an awakening to her. and the awakening had not been to a pleasant world. All at once she seemed to real ize that her sex had defects--littleness, meanness. cowardice. falseness. That their occupations were apt to be trivial or narrow or selfish; that the desires were earthly, and their tastes coarse; that what she held to be goodness was apt to be realized only as fear That innocence was but ignorance. or at least bafled curiosity. That.
 flood of shame swept over her. and instinctively she put her hands before her burning face. As usual, she was running all at once into extremes.
 And above all these were borne to her, and for the first time in her life that she was herself a womani
 For a long time she sat quite still. The train thrilled and roared on its way. Signals and points had their sphere of moving endeavor. Through tunnels the train flashed. and the roar ing stopped with the sudden silence of freedom as 1t rush ed into daylight. Crowded stations took and gave their quantum of living freight; but the young girl sat abstracted, unmoved seemingly unconscious. Her mind had passed the receptive and the reflective stages, and was now at practical work. She was if not looking into the fu- ture, at least trying to forestall difi- cities. All the dominance and energy of her nature were at work.
 If. indeed. she were a woman, and had to abide by the exigencies of her own sex, she would at least not be ruled and limited by woman's weak ness. She would plan and act and manage things for herself, in her own way. She had some good models of manhood within the circle of her own life. and she would take from them ex- ample and all the lessons of the nature of man which she could get. For tunately her father had never gain said h CT: on the contrary, he had wish ed her to grow up in manly. ways. At last she seemed to understand something of the purpose of her pecul- far education. How strong and good it was! How she would henceforth bend herself to 1t; and would so fash ion her owns acts that they would not be tinged with the woman's weak ness of which she had had so painful an experience!
 Whatever her thought might be, she could at least control her acts. And those acts should be based not on wo- mans weakness, but on mans strength.
