The Two Sides.

FROM Inc Athendeum.
Education has two sides. the ma
terial and the immaterial. and of
these the immaterial is the nobler:
but so severe. apparently. is the
contest among individuals for wages.
and so keen among nations the struggle
for supremacy in commercial and indus
trial pursuits and operations. that the ad-
vantages of education in the intellectual
and spiritual development of mankind are
often kept out of sight. The Danes. in
their peoples high schools. have. better
than other nations succeeded in combin-
ing the two sides of continuation school
work. Against the danger involved in ex-
cessive utilitarianism Prof. Sadler utters a
timely warning:
Let us not identify the world for which
We seek to train every child solely with
the world of material interests and of
visible things. Let us not forget. in our
educational plans. the weight that should
be attached to the claims of the spiritua |
realm, whose frontiers transcend political
frontiers. and whose commonwealth is in
heaven"

 Make a strong Candidate if He Gets in Race for Governor.

Decatur Dec. 1.J(Special. )-Hon. A. D. Kirby. member of the Legisla- ture from Madison County, was in De- catur today. When asked as to the current report that Hon. R. E.. spraRins would likely be a candidate for Governor he said:
 "I have no auth ority to speak Tor Senator Spragins, but l believe nc has a strong position, as he was one oI the two Senators that withstood the ground swell and voted against the prohibition bill. because he felt he was committed to local option through the Democratic state platform.
 He is characteristically a fearless man when he secs his duty. He would have voted as he thought right if every voter in the State opposed him. lie is able. a lawyer of ability, conserva- tive and absolutely fair with those who oppose him, as well as those who coincide with his views. He IS safe' successful business man, and prefers to give the farmers of his county the advantage of his means Instead of in vestinE 1t entirely in industries. He has an interest tn various industries. He is President of the Farmers Ware house and Cotton oil Company. The farmers of his county own the largest interest in the company.
 q predict if he runs for Governor he will get a solid vote In his county, and almost a solid vote in North Ala bama.
 MT. Kirby was elected to the Legisla- ture iron, his county on the dispen- sarv ticket by large majority, against the strongest opposition there has ever been in Madison County in a contest for a seat in the Legislature.

 R0bbed Hotels.

Anniston, Dec. l-(SpeciaD-It Is believed that the man who succeeded in defrauding the Alabama hotel out of S75 some months ago, Is under ar rest in Washington. Under the names of Stark, Hoyle, Latshaw and many others he has been travelling over the country swindling hotel people, He operated here under the name or Stark.
 He was captured some months ago in Dallas, Texas, and was being car ried to Chattanooga to stand trial for defrauding the Hotel Patten, when he escaped from Clerk Annis, who had him in charge at Memphis. Nothing more was heard from him until his ar rest In Washington
 Washington detectives believe they have captured one of the cleverest for gers and confidence men in the United States in Latshaw, who was picked up at the union station as he was board ing a train for Cumberland, Md. A man who went to the station with him and who the police say passed a oad check for S35 on the Johnson Hotel, succeeded in eluding the detectives.
 The arrests was made after the proprietor of a printing establishment had called at the headquarters and re- norted that a man had called at his
 
 Establishment and ordered twelve drafts and fifty letter heads printed. The drafts were on the First National Bank of Chicago, and the letterhead purported to be the American In sulated Wire and Cable Company of Chicago. The man explained that he was a. travelling salesman and had run out of stationary.
 After he had filled the order thl printer became suspicious and decided to notify the police. Latshaw was taken to headduarters where his bag gage was searched. Many packages oF blank drafts and checks with firm names printed on them and many bust ness cards were found in his posses sion.
 when placed under arrest Latshav had nearly s7OO in cash in his pockets He had rubber stamps for dating tn checks, a numbering machine and reproducer.

COMBINES PosToFFIcE.
EnsIey and Pratt City Together With a
 Sub-StafiOm.


 Sub-stafiOm.
 Birmingham, Dec. 1.-(SpeciaD-The Postofice Department at Washington has sent word to the postmaster at Ensley that, effective Jan. 1, the one postoflce will serve for both Ensley and Pratt City with a ub-station in the latter place.
 The arrangements made for office room in the two places will be main tained. but one postmaster will be in charge.
 Some weeks ago the postmaster at Ensley, J. W. Clayton, wired his res ignation to the department at Wash iugton. An inspector came along and recommended that one postmaster be named for the two places with sub station in Pratt City In all probabil- ity, J. K Thomas. the postmaster at Pratt City, will be placed In charge of the work and a clerk placed in charge of tbe sub-station.
 The change will bring about a free delivery service for Ensley at least, If not for both places. as the combined citizenship Is sufficient to request the service.
 Ensley Is the steel center of the Birmingham district. while Pratt City Is a mining town, one of the oldest in the State. There appears to be no complaint to the proposed change. There are three candidates in the field at present for the position of post master at Ensley. T. K. Kennamor. I. A. Millar. the present assistant postmaster and J w. Brigman.
