THE BEREA COMMENCEMENT

Doubtless the Citizen reaches some
readers who have never attended a
Berea Commencement. There is moth
ing like II in Kentucky or any Of
the surrounding states. The Taber-
nacle is always thronged with eager
listeners to the student exhibitions
and the great speeches which follow.
Perhaps the interest is highest Just
before twelve o'clock when the stu
dents receive their diplomas.
Outside of the Tabernacle there are
thousands of people visiting the Col
lege buildings, the Fair of Fireside
Industries, the Chapel tower, the
Library and other exhibitions each
Of which is a SHOW" in itself. We
especially hope that all visitors this
year will call at the Bruce Printing
Building and see where the Citizen
is printed. We can show to them the
best printing press in the state, n
typesetting machine and other things
of great interest

ADJUSTMENT FUND
How Berea is Meeting Burdens I'm.
posed by the Day Law.

The Trustees of Berea College have
definitely set aside 100000 of the
properties of the Institution for the
benefit of the colored people. They
have appointed Committee Of their
own number to use the income Of
this money for the benefit of the col
ored people and to bring about the
establishment of well equipped col
ored school somewhere in Kentucky.
This change In administration requires
an extensive adjustment The Institu-
ton needs $4,000 to restore the a.
mount set apart for the colored people,
in other words. that its work may
move forward unimpared. On the otherl
hand 1t needs more than $500, 900 to
start such colored school as this
state needs. Accordingly an effort Is
being made to raise an Adjustment
Fund" Of 100000. Towards this sum
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has subscribed
100000 and other friends OF educa-
ton have subscribed sSS,000 more.
The colored people themselves have
undertaken to raise considerable
sum. Until the entire amount has
been subscribed, no steps will be
taken towards selecting a location or
erecting buildings. but 1t is hoped
that this great subscription can be
completed at an early date. While
waiting for this school to begin Berea
College is paying railroad expenses
and otherwise assisting about $50 col
ored students who are attending
other Institutions.

MONEY TALKS
What Makes . Bank Safe and
How to tell Which Bank Is Best

Some people do not know how to
judge of the safety of bank.
There are just two things upon
which the safety of every bank de-
ponds, and these two things are the
banks officers, and its capital stock.
The banks capital stock is the
amount of its own money which it
has invested in the business to guar
antee the safety of your deposits.
II the banks capital is large enough
and IL its affairs are looked after by
honest. successful men of good char
acter and good business ability, then
the bank is safe beyond doubt.
For example. the Berea Bank and
Trust Company's capital is fifty thou
sand dollars. and the stock holders
are liable for fifty thousand more
which is security for the safety of
your deposits.
The Directors of the Berea Bank
and Trust Company are J. J. Moore,
]. w. Herndon, e. t. Fish, p. Cor
nelius, Chas Burdette. I. F. Dean, A.
w. stwart. w. H. Porter, and J. w.
Dinsmore,
Compare this with what other banks
offer you. and then decide for your
self where you want to put your
money.

THE COLLEGES YEAR

Following Commencement will be
the annual meeting OF the Trustees
of Berea College and the annual re-
ports are now being prepared. These
reports will show a surprising work
accomplished during the past year.
More than 1150 students have been
in attendance at Berea for longer
or shorter time during this school
year. Besides these 100 colored stu
dents have been aided by Berea Col
lege in attending other institutions,
showing that the total number that
Berea has helped toward an education
is more than 1900. Ten students will
graduate from the College Depart
ment The Normal Department gradu-
ates the largest number in Its history
is. There would be more but the
standard is very high) There have
been four courses of study in the Ac-
ademy. which not only prepares stu
dents for College but also gives the
best instruction for students who
without o College course wish to pass
at once for the business life. Grad

ROOT FOR CHIEF JUSTICE?:-
There Is a report that Pres. Roose-
welt will. before he retires. appoint
Secretary Root Chief Justice of the
T. s. Supreme Court. II has been
understood for some time that Justice
Fuller who now holds the place would
soon resign, and It is not customary
to appoint one OF the Associate JUS
tices chief. Mr.. Root is probably the
most brilliant lawyer in this country,
and there is no reason to believe that
he will not make a great Chief Jus
tice. but he was in his younger years
connected with several big trusts.
and for that reason he will be
violently opposed by many men. As
Roosevelt has sort of reputation
for hating the trusts, ana as he has
been In close contact with Mr.. Root
for years. 1t is likely that Mr.. Root
is pretty safe for the country.

The question OF whether the Pres

In his favor by Judge Hough OF the
U. s. Circuit Court in New York. The
question was brought before the court
by one OF the discharged soldiers
who sued for back pay till the date

Near Demmette. Wilkes county, last
night, Miss Mary Ball, a popular young
school teacher, was shot and perhaps
fatally wounded by u. F. Tharpe. be-
cause she refused to marry him on
account of threats against her life.
Miss Ball was accompanied to church
last night by her brother At the close
of the service Tharpe met them at
the door and fired two shots at Miss
Ball. one taking effect an inch above,
the heart. AS she was falling to the
ground Miss Ball struck the pistol
with one hand. causing the second
shot to miss the intended mark. ME-
Ball grappled with Tharpe and held
him until friends came to his assist
ance. tsSs
Tharpe was rushed to jail at Wilkes
,boro There were reports current of
an attempt at lynching. but message
from Wilkes late this evening says
the i'll feeling is subsiding. There is
very little hope for Miss Balls recov-
cry. Tharpe's plea Is that he shot Miss
Ball during fit Of insanity produced
by his infatuation for the only girl
he ever loved. One who was present
when Tharpe was arrested says he was
badly intoXicat ted.
