To Whom It May Concern.
 1 am asked to make a statement as to my knowledge of the fairness of Judge Nesmith.
 l am glad to say that I have tried a number of cases before him and have won and lost in his court, but I testify to the fact that his rulings have always been open and frank and based upon sound reasoning
 l have every reason to believe, and do believe, that he Is far from being biased in favor of corporations or any one else. He listens to reason from both sides and must necessarily decide in favor of cor porations when they have the law on their side.
 My opinion from long personal ac- quaintance and knowledge of his char acter is that he is far above the plane of bias and prejudice. and that he is ab- solutely fearless and honest
 ROBERT N. BELL.
 May 1S, 1908. To Whom It May Concern:
 It is my information that. for private personal and ulterior motives there is be- ing circulated throughout the county unjust and undeserved criticisms of Judge C. C. Nesmith of the Birmingham city court Inasmuch as it has been my pleasure to practice in the city court of Birmingham, and have necessarily tried many cases before Judge Nesmith, I feel it my duty to just, upright and fearless judge to testify to his ability integrity and fairness. If he has ever in any mat ter of litigation been in the remotest de- gree influenced by bias for or against any ltigant I have been unable to dis cern it. He is absolutely fearless in the trial of causes and the administration of justice, a quality essential to an ideal and just judge. He deserves to be elected, and l trust that the good citizens of this county will. at the approaching election, elect him and thus stamp the seal of their approval upon the fearless admins tration of justice in Jefferson county.

ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT
 IS NOW ON AT HUDSON
BY A. E. COFFEE.

Marion, .day 1S.-tSpeclal)- 1.-The Judson is wearing the ancient mantle of learning and renown with becoming pride. Proud fathers and mothers, to visit their fair and lovely offspring, brothers and sweet hearts from twelve states are assembled here to enjoy the annual commencement exercises at the Judson, where more than three hundred lovely girls will close the seasons work. These splendid girls are of the South and typical of our South land-fair specimens of the more virtuous minds that are formed beneath our South ern skies.
 The streets of Marion are ablaze with beauty arrayed in fairy draperies that seem made of mlrth and love. Like Vashti, they are fair to look on. The glo- rious Judson campus at o'clock this morning presented a scene of gladness and beauty. Strolling along the walks and over velvet turf amidst evergreen and flower hundreds of whte-robed maidens chatted and laugher, and it would have been but a short stretch of fancy for your reporter to have found himself wandering among the melodies and beauties of Ar cadie and Olympus. Ahi the age of youth, when it seemed we could never die. Twas then that life and love and hope ran riot. The noble Judson may not inappropriately be called Academia, where Plato walked among groves adorned by Cimon with the plane and the olive and taught by discourse the youth of Greece the ethics of life.
 The thirty thousand dollar library, with it's ten thousand volumes of valuable books, many of them rare and curious, was dedicated this morning. The erection and equipment of this splendid temple of literature is the crowning achievement of Dr. Patrck's master management The study of elegant literature, an intimate knowledge of the past masters of antiqui- ty and the cultivation of refined taste in composition and conversation are more to be sought than vain dreams that allure one in pursuit of abstruse science. Ele- gant attachments and polished manners are to be acquired in searching out the secrets of the library, and polite learning stamps it's impress on the student just as training the young to piety and the exact observance of duty leads them to happl- ness and virtue.
 The dedication address was delivered by Hon. Roy Rushton Teney. His plan of handling this subject was full without be- ful. was relieved of dullness by a vein of polite learning which was visible through out and shed a classic luster oyer these refined exercises of noble Judson. The splendid opportunities offered in the quiet calm of the halls and corridors of this asylum of knowledge are of inestimable

Gadsden, May 13.-(Special1-A corr pany of railroad engineers of the Louisville and Nashville railroad spent a good portion of the day in this city yesterday making a final inspection of the river at this point on which to base their decision as to the location of the new bridge the company has decided to build acros sthe Coosa. Among the party were Chief Engineer W. H. Courtney and N. R. Montfort of Nashville. Division Superintendent Brooks of Birmingham, Assistant Divis- ion Superintendent J. N. Teague aud others.

The idea proved to be a cap ital one and over 600 members were en- rolled in the class during the struggle for supremacy. This was perhaps the largest class of its kind in the state. The teacher of the class is Col. A. E. Goodhue. The class is his especial pride and its success is source of great qualification to him as to the hundreds of youn men who compose it. It is needless to say that the ban quet was a great success. There were over 500 present and many happy speeches were made between the courses.
