the panic began, and though DR.. Boyd

been paid for as the work proceeded.

Athens, Ala, May %, 190S-After
an absence of twenty-three years, all of
which time has been spent in active,
progressive educational work. Prof j.
ID. Crenshaw, graduate of Trinity
College, and Eecently Of Texas, but
now of Nashville, Tenn, returned to
this city upon special invitation of the
principal faculty and trustees to de-
liver the dedicatOry address at this
school, which is one of the oldest of
the Congregational schools established
in the South. The building that was
dedicated to-day is situated in the cen
ter Of the old fort, which was the
scene of many conflicts during the Civ
il War 1t is one of the most beautiful
school buildings in the sunny South
magnifcently constructed and just one
mile from the center of the city.
The school was founded early in
1865 by that fearless, tireless, Chris
tian woman, Miss M. f. Wells, to
whose memory Prof. Crenshaw paid
deserving tribute in his address. He
said that in the face of a most threat
ching and dangerous opposition to
such a movement, she came South and
entered upon her chosen work. Time
and again her life was in jeopardy,
and on more than one occasion did the
Ku KluX Khan, then so noted in North
ern Alabama, threaten her life, but
never did she entertain a thought of
leaving or disseminating her efforts to
do good for an oppressed people.
The exercises for the entire COM
mencement week have been of the very
highest order. Graduates from this
college are numbered among the most
noted men and women in the race.
They fill positions in every walk of
life, rejecting much credit upon the in
stitution to which they point with
pride as their Alma Mater. These
forty-three years have proven the
, worth, the need and the growing i'm
portance of this school,
The building dedicated to-day takes
the place of the one destroyed by the
, disastrous fire on February IS, 1907,
and guarantees the continuance Of the
aggressive educational campaign be-

THE BLIND SCHOOL CLOSES.
A Successful Year of Hard Work
Finished.

Finished.
The commencement exercises of
the colored department of the Ten
nessee School for the Blind began
with musical in the chapel of that
institution last Friday night, which
was beyond doubt one of the best
ever held. The students showed
marked improvement, which was the
result of careful training. The in
structor in music, Miss Quinnetta
Compton, has demonstrated that she
is an earnest, conscientious worker.
The baccalaureate sermon was
preached last Sunday at p. m. by
Rev. Mr.. lines, pastor of Howard
Congregational Church. Many friends
from the city crowded the chapel to
it's utmost capacity to listen to this
eloquent appeal. On tuesday night

had been prepared a very nice pro-
gram; but the browning efforts were
seen in the graduating exercises on

most difficult task-instilling in al

Miss Emma l.. Cheairs, was the next
number on the programme Miss
Cheairs, who has been heard in one
or two previous commencement exer-
cises of the High School, and is a gen.

sweetness, especially adapted to color
ature work. The piece selected was
peculiarly fitting to her style of voice,
and brought out all of its beauties.
Miss Cheairs responded to the applause
with another solo.
Prof. Frank G. Smith then, as is his
custom on this occasion every year, de-
livered his address to the graduating
class. Before addressing the class,
however, Prof. Smith spoke in part as
follows to the Board of Education:
"The occasion which brought us to-
gether here tonight is the twenty-first
annual commencement of the Pearl
High School The vast concourse of
colored citizens, the multitude of eager
anxious people who have listened 50
carefully to these exercises, is not with
out meaning 1t shows the deep in
terest the colored people take in the
welfare and success of the Pearl High
School | venture the assertion that
no other high school in the South is
as popular with the colored people as
he Pearl High School. Mr. Superin-
tendent and members of the Board of
) ducation, | wish to thank you for the
j admirable public spirit and liberal pol
: icy which you have manifested toward

Prof Smith addressed himself to the
t class which he requested to rise, de
livered a vigorous speech in which hi

Governor BrOward is going To bring
suit against the Times-UniOn because
that paper said that he had ignored
the recommendation Of certain dem
Ocratic executive committees. 1t
seems to us that his action would lie
against the committees. For instance,
he was censured by the committee in
this county, the Timse-Union printed
the resolutions Of censure; so 1t also
printed the resolutions of the demo
Gratis Of HilIsborough county, and OF
Dade and other counties. Why not
bring suit against the committees, and
why against the newspaper that sim
ply prints the resolutions in the pur-
suit of it's legitimate ayOcation Of
printing the news? The democratic
party is committed to the policy Of
free speech and the tentative head Of
the party in Florida should not adopt
methods to curtail this great privi-
lege.

TOMS LETTERS

Before the legislature adjourned
Hon. R. Hudson Burr made his an
n2IEcement as a candidate for gov
eTnor. lie was the early bird and in
tended to gobble Up the gubernatorial
worm. That section of the press of
Florida that are opposed to all public
and private improvements Immediate
ly took up the candidacy of Mr.. Burr
and said that the newspapers that re-
fused TO support him would be only
those that are owned and controlled
by the corporate interests-the "peOn
press the cuckoo press" the "pur-
chased press etc.
few months afterwards Mr. Stock
ton wrote several letters to certain
newspapers saying that be had been
urged against his wishes to become
a candidate for governor. After the
lapse of a month or more he entered
the race, because, he said, he could
get no one else advocating the poll
cies he stood for to shoulder this
great burden. So he became a full
fledged candidate
Hon. R. Hudson Burr now writes a
letter declining longer to remain in
the race, because he says that Hon.
John n. c. Stockton stands for iden-
tically the same policies that he stood
for, and it was not so much the Of
fee he wanted as it was TO see these
policies triumphant
Now, the question arises, when Mr..
Stockton was looking around for
someone to shoulder this gubernatOr-
ial burden" who stood for the poll
cies that he stood for, how came him
to overlook Mr. Burr, who had already
announced his candidacy even before
the adjournment of the legislature?

THE MILITARY OCCUPATION OF
PENSACOLA

Mr.. Allan Rodgers, in a somewhat
lengthy communication printed in the
Times-Union of Saturday, closes his
comments as follows:
The stop of the political close cor
poratiOns with headquarters not a
thousand miles from the Uedeman
building, is way below par, aud still
"a drapping," and the drop will CON
tinue to be rapid until a few pOliti-
clans who have run the city Of Jack
sonville wake up to the fact that their
methods, when applied to the state
of Florida, will not, should not, and
cannot, succeed.
Just how long this military Occupa-
ton will last no one can see. Out
side the short, sharp words of COM
mands are heard on every side.
The patrol passes with measured
tread-tramp, tramp, tramp. The
earth shakes beneath the war god, and
law, order and justice. N its last
analysis, rest upon a foundation of
force.

THE SITUATION AT PENSACOLA

Since that lone brick was thrown
at a passing car, there has been no
other excitement at Pensacola.
The thousand troops, with their
glittering guns, are still encamped
around about the circuit of the cleo
trio car line The gatling guns are
still frowning on the strikers and men
arrayed in epaulettes and brass but
tons are prominent on all the thor
Oughfares.
The sheriff has summoned one hun
dred and fifty of the most Or jmiDent
citizens Of Pensacola to serve as hep
uties and the fierce comedy is vig0r-
Ously preserved.
The comments of the state press
and the citizens generally are Of such
a nature that the troops will! soon be
sent to their respective homes, as the
whole thing seems to be "much ado
about nothing"
It does look like a county The size
of Escambia and a city the size of
Pensacola could keep in subsection
less than one hundred car strikers.

BANQUO'S GHOST WILL NOT

That Governor BTOward made a Sc
TiOus mistake in ignoring the recon-
mendations of the HillsbOrOugh cOun-
ty democratic executive committee in
the appointment of county vacancies,
cannot be denied There is a certain
amount of courtesy due to the COM
mittee of every county, and when an
official attempts to override them, he
will naturally meet with strong con-
demnatiOn. While a governor may be
a very wise man, it is not supposed
that he knows more what the needs
of a county are than the people who
live there, and for years have helped
in the development of the said coun-
ty.-FOrt Myers Press.
