tion numerous petty thefts were re- ported to the proprietor of the h0kSl by his guests. and on the resuitMnt investigation suspicion pointed to the new maid. She was therefore dis charged. and again application was made to Captain Odom for position.
 Several small articles began to bo missed from the home on Whitman Street. and upon the suspicion that the girl was still stealing, an investi&a- ton was made of her rooms. The search revealed numerous articles stolen elsewhere. and the Jeqiston Of Captain Odom was reached.
 All of the articles found in the girls possession will be returned to their rightful owners during today.
 Tn talking of the case last night Cap- tain Odom said that the girl possessed a bright. intelligent face. and seemed to be entirely without a knowIedge of the seriousness of the offense which sine had committed. After discussing the matter thoroughly with persons from whom the girl had stolen.

when you have it is the secret of agri- cultural success. making the agricul- tural colleges practical is the key to this secret" General Brandon cited the instance of a Vermont farmer who raised a crop of cucumbers on small farm. because he was near a piclx1ing manufactury. He sold his crop to the factory and cleared $25.ooo. That Is the way to agricultural success; not planting the thing. your grandfather planted. just because the crop would grow; make the crop prcfitably adapt able. and if the crop won't pay, look under the soil. train the boys to know the ground. not just the surface; there may be. and in many instances is. far more profit from two to two hundred feet under farm than there Is in the surface plant supporting soil.
 gro interest the farmers boys In planting. to hold their attention and make them read literature on the sub feet. 1t has been proposed that corn contest be held in the State. that each boy be furnished seed to plant a named. area of land. to do the work alone. and the one making the best crop receive a prize. This idea has found favor in the eyes of those interested and al- ready a tidy sum has been subscribed to the work. Under the direction of the agricultural colleges. clubs are to be formed in each college district and the exhibits will be judged by the pro- fessors of those schools.
 A. J. McElroy, a representative of e we'll known book company of New York, was present at the. meeting and told how his views on the South in general and Alabama in particular had been changed through personal con- tact He said that this state fs doing more for education for the number of people in 1t than any state in the Union.
 Hon. J. A. wilkinson. Commissioner of Agriculture, in e very short talk touched on immigration. but in doing so. touched the spot He said he hum- bly, thanked God that tho misrepre- sentation of the Northern press had directed immigration away from the South. that the North and West where could not be identified. that the true American is found in the South. the un- contaminated. genuine Angio-Saxon.s That Alabama and the South were the home of the Auglo-Saxon, and when the foreign element had crowded the Yankees and Westerners out of the Northwest territory they would be re- ceived here and home provided for them. f
 pr. Thos. M owen. custodian of the State Archives and chief of the State Department of History will address the members of the faculties of the state agricultural colleges in the Cpmmis- sioner of Agricuiture's rooms in the capitol today at Il o'clock.

 17-z5.. August 90, 1908. DAVID SPARES sAuL;s LIFE.

DAthD STAKES BAULH IAEE.
 The murderous Jealousy of Saul made an impossible chasm between himself and David. No motive of cercy or prudence would have stayed his hand. He would have put his country in peril any moment by slsying her most intrepid and sklilful defender. In point of fact. that he had all ready been so seryfceabie as to win higher praise than himself was the very seed from which saui's envy sprang
 So far from attempting to be reconciled to the king or to plecate him by any means. David must needs fly his presence. His bitter exile began at once, and in not q moment of fl had he the sense of secur- ity. He had to take to caves and cliffs and what was worse to his truly patriotic soul. he must of necessity at times make terms with the pagan foes of his country.
 Just before saul's accession to the throne there had swept over Israel a species of ecstatic enthusiasm taking the form of an evalted religious feeling, expressing itself in improvision of song instrumental music and rhythmic motion of the body. Whether genuine or assumed, 1t served to kindie a zeal to resist fsraefs enemies On one occasion Saul himself was caught in the whiri and mystic spell. He began to im- proviss and dance with the others. His aetion gave rise to the popular saying. Saul among the phrophets"
 This was religious frenzy and lasted but moment. Quite e different frenzy had taken possession of him now. It was the permanent and progressive delirium of jealousy. It is significantly said that he sought David every day. His destruction became the chief object of his life. He was constantly being informed: David is here!" "David is theref' And each an nouncement was the signal for new par- suit
 History does not afford q better illustra- tion of the truth of the saying. k'"rhFough tribuiation deep the way to glory Hes" than this story of David's eviie. It was a school for heroism and devotion. Never was there a scholar more apt. Distance from home and the sanctuary gave the true perspective It helped define values as nothing else could--value of tabernacle and worship, of home and native land. So all the bitter Cave songs" of the fugitive are tranerauted into the Golden PsamIs." Over against "calamities," pits" and ''ncts." David discovered s.God q Helper and His angel encampine about him. Thus David acquired knowledge of God and of him self that could not have been had in any other way
 Besides feeding the spring of devotion In his personal Iife David got in this fugitive experience a training for war; a familiar accuaintance with his country's enemies. their strength, weapons, methods He re cruited for himself q bodyguard whose de- votion to his person was of the highest value. Finally, by covering 1t all on foot. ha became familiar with the topography of th. country. This was invaluable to him q, inc military movements of later years

TEACHING
 AGRICULTURE Instructive Addresses at Commercial Club. ALABAMA's NEW ERA Agricultural School Teachers Auaitsr W. W. Brandsn Commissioper |. A. wfrkf.son, Dr. Q. J. Owens And others Addressed The
 Meeti.s which Was De-
 Voted to Education.
 

Members of the faculties of the nine agricultural colleges in Alabama gath cred in the assembly hall of the Con- raerciaI Club last night to discuss and listen to discussions pertaining to Edu- cation in Alabama, especially In re- gard to agriculture. pr. Clarence J. Owen, President of the Agricultural College in Abbeville was first to speak and discussed at some length the work of the schools. their purpose and the influence they will have on the future men of the state
 'sWithout cooperation from Auburn when they started" he said, they have begun the revolution of Alabama farm ing and the education of the farmers boys. so fitting the boys that last year from the AbbeviIle College five gradu- ates entered the junior class at Auburn without having to stand an examina- tion and during the year standing among the first in their classes,
 .They mark the beginning of q prac- fical era, the rule of common sense, the instruction of the individual. the edu- cation of what is known as the masses to make such intelligent citizens of the State. So placing education that 1t will not be the privilege of an exclusive few, but in reach of all. Freedom of opportunity, the teaching of the intel- ligent use of the hands and head"
 pr. Owen called the work of the schools the advent of the dignity of labor.
 Tn conclusion he, said: "when the present railway litigation Is over and the strike in the Birmingham district a memory, the work of the schools es- tabIished and promoted by the present administration will mark the adminis- tratfon as the most educative so far in the history of the state"
 State Auditor W. w. Brandon said an old dog coula not be taught new tricks and more attention should be paid to instructing the farmer boy. getting him accustomed to an agrtcul- tural education at the start, for 1t was practically useless to try to guide an old farmer with reports. pamphlets on agriculture. etc. and that through the farmers boy was agriculture to be brought to perfect state.
 What kept me from being a far mer." he said. twas. my father used to believe in making his fnrrows run up and down hill so each would drain separately: when I grew up all that was left of the farm was the stone foundation. so took to politics.
 When the farmers boy can pick up a handful of sotI and through his teach- ing at school tell what that soil is best fitted to grow, what tt is made of and what extent of cultivation 1t needs then AIabama will be ready to take it's place as the extent of cultivation it needs. then Alabama will be ready to take it's place as the leader of the United States fin agriculture"
