In view of the determined attempt
that is to &c made by the Intercol-
legiate Athletic association to eradi-
cate or at least modify the playing CT
summer baseball by college students
the ideas of Dave Fultz, former. center
fielder of the Highlanders, are inter-
esting. During his day as student
at Brown university Fultz was one of
the best players in the college ranks
During his career as a successful pro-
fessional player Fultz often spoke in
terestingly on the aspects of college
baseball. Fultz is practicing lawyer
and a lecturer in the religious field.
Fultz' views follow:
II see no reason why the bona fide
college student of good standing, good
moral character, who engages in ath.
letics for money during the summer
months as a means Of obtaining his
education should not represent his col.
lege. Our students sing in churches
or in summer opera companies and
then return to college and sing on our
glee clubs; the writer may contribute
to newspapers, magazines and still
write for our college publications. He
of much wisdom may coach the delin.
quent student and still represent our
debating club. All this is done for
money, but the ethical status is never
questioned"

Cornell ranks next to Yale in the

COUNTY LOSES A MULE
 BY A LIGHTNING STROKE

A stroke of ligh thing Friday after noon in one flash deprived the County of Montgomery of the services of a valuable mule. The toughness and vitality of three other mules. able to stand even a stroke of ligh thing, pre- vented the county from losing three other valuable mules.
 The county road construction camp on the Mount Meigs Road, was hit by lightning late Friday afternoon. The men connected with the camp were only shocked as their tents were some distance frora where the bolt fell. The mule corral received the full force of the stroke. Four mules were knock ed to the ground, but all but one finally staggered to their feet But the fourth remained stretched out to show the world something that soldiers say they never saw during the entire war A dead mule.

Constitution Insufncsent.

The contention that the school au- thorities are permitted under the pro. visions of Section 26i of the Consti- tution to use as much as per cent. of the appropriation for other purposes than for the payment of teachers eu7- pl6yed in such school is not well found ed and can have no application in this case. Tn the first place it would re- quire affirmative legislation, pursuant in this constitutional provision, to au- thorize the expenditure of any part of this fund otherwise than for the payment of teachers.
 There has been no such legislation to justify or authorize the expendt- ture of six hundred dollars out of the annual appropriation for improveme ents or the setting aside of six hundred dollars to be used for the payment of teachers for conducting six Contrary, the original act ct s es- tablishing the school specifically pro- vides that no portion of said sum (the annual appropriation shall be used for any other purpose than the payment of the salaries of the teach CTS and the necessary appliances and vided further that not more than i've hundred dollars shall be used for ap- pliances and text books in any one year" See Acts 1882-1Ss3. page b24.

 For . Summer School.
Tn answer to inquirles from Ju

In answer to inquiries from Judge John Purifoy, State Examiner Of Pun- lie Accounts. an opinion was rendered yesterday by Attorney General Alex M. Garber which expressly prohibits the State Normal School at Living. ston from using any part of the an- nual appropriation from the State or s15.o00 for improvements or for con ducting a summer school
 The authorities of the college must adhere strictly to the terms of the original act establishing the institu- ton. according to the Attorney Gen e'ral This enactment contained a provision that the appropriation or s15.o00 shall be used solely for the payment of teachers salaries except that mot more than $500 shall be used for appliances and textbooks In any one year."
 It is understood that the opinion of the Attorney General will have gem eral application to the other State Normal Colleges. They will be eTn- powered to use the annual appropria- tion for no other purpose than to pay teachers or acquire textbooks or appliances. the latter being limited ac- cordlng to the provisions of the indi- vidual acts of the Legislature.
 Examiner Purifoy discovered that the authorities at Livingston had been using part of the appropriation for Improvements and some of 1t for .six- weeks summer school that has been q feature of the Normal School. The Attorney General advises how over, that his ruling should not he made retroactive as the money has been spent for an undoubted benefit of the school.
 The opinion in full Is as follows:
