KIND WORDS
FOR COLUMBIA
JUDGE GUSTAV JONES is MUCH
PLEASED WITH THIS CITY,
ALSO SCHOOL.

Judge Gustav Jones, of Newport,
Ark, who is here with his wife attend
ing the commencement exercises Of
the Columbia Institute, stated to a
Herald reporter Monday afternoon
that he had never seen more de-
lightful place than Columbia and that
it had never been his pleasure to meet
more hospitable and social people
than the people of Columbia. In
speaking of the school, Mr.. Jones said
that he was so pleased with the
school that he had already told Mr..
Capers, the president, that he would
send his younger daughter to the
school next year and that he might
possibly send Miss Leah Jones back
for a postgraduate course. He said
further that he had told Mr.. Capers
that he felt that there we're things
that never could be paid for in dollars
and cents, benefits derived from such
a school of learning as the Institute Is.
Does the town appreciate the school
as it should?" said Mr.. Jones, sit GER
tainly ought to for it is the most mag
nificently located institutions that
know of, and it would seem that the
matter of erecting a new hall for the
accommodation OF the school should
be taken up by the citizens Of the
town and work in connection with the
trustees of the board and have this
much needed requisite attended to at
once.

these customers called at night dur

SMALLPOX AT

GIVES OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH
LoATHsoME DISEASE.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn, May 10.
a scare was occasioned early
Tuesday morning by the arrival OF a
well-developed case of smallpox on the
5: 80 train. The negro, whose name Is
not known, got off the train here and
proceeded up town in search of a doc
tor. Being a stranger he evidently
covered a great portion Of the city In
his search for the physician.
He finally found the residence OF
DR.. Hickman, and, upon being aroused,
the doctor told him to go to his oftice
and stay there until he came down.
Upon arriving at the Office he failed TO
find the patient, so he at once began
to search for him, because he had al
ready exposed himself too much for
the good of the general public. He
was found at the Office of DR.. Bllbro
and there he was retained until the
county health officer could be COM
municated with. Upon the arrival OF
the health officer the negro was ex-
amined and it was found that he had a
we'll developed case Of smallpox.
He was at once dispatched to the
county pest house. Quite good deal
of uneasiness is fell on account OF
this having been exposed so much 1t
is not known exactly where the negro
came from.

Token-A Letter Sent.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. May 19.-Miss
Daisy Lee Of Nashville, who was an
important witness in the famous trial
of Col Duncan B. Cooper, his son,
Robin, and ex-Sheriff Sharp on the
charge Of killing ex-senator Carmack,
will receive a beautiful chain ana
diamondstudded locket from the COM
mercial travellers of Birmingham. She
will also be offered an excellent posi-
ton in this city-one paying more
than she was getting as stenographer
in the Nashville Office in which she
was employed up to the time Of the
trial. ..
Behind this simple statement or
facts is a story OF more than ordi-
nary interest. During the trial Of the
Cooper case Miss Lee was a witness,
and while on the stand she contradict
ed certain statements made by the
man for whom she worked AS a re-
suit of this, it is said, she lost her
position. When the facts reached the
ears of members of the commercial
travellers of Birmingham they imme-
diately raised a fund with which to
present the young lady with some
token Of their appreciation, and at the
same time they undertook to secure
for her a position as good if not bet
ter than that which she lost in Nash"
Vile. The necessary fund was raised
in a short time, and beautiful dia-
mond-mounted locket, with chain, was
purchased and these words were en-
graved thereon:
Truth is appreciated by the Biz.

SUCCESSFUL YEAR
At THE INSTITUTE
BROUGHT TO CLOSE
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES TER
INMATE WITH AWARDING OF
DIPLOMAS AND MEDALS.
FOURTEEN GIRLS GRADUATE
School Has Prospered Under Manage
ment of Mr.. capers And Is Now In
Splendid condition-Money Made
Expended For Improvements.

Before an audience that taxed the
capacity of the pretty school chapel
the most successful year in the re-
cent history of the Columbia Institute
came to a close Wednesday. The
many pupils, patrons from nearly
every southern state, friends OF the
institution who have watched its
growth and progress under Mr.. Capers
with qualification and pride, were gath
cred together and were deeply inter
ested in these exercises, which meant
goodbye to school girl days to many.
The school entered to the singing
of the Professional, and after a pray
er by Bishop Gailor, medals and prizes
were awarded by Mr.. Capers, but hrst
Mr.. Capers expressed appreciation OF
the success of the school during his
charge. That at the beginning there
was more room in the handsome build
ing than anything else, but the school
had grown to such an extent, room Is
now at a premium. But this deficiency
would be provided for as the demand
increases, Mr.. Capers said, and the
larger the school, the better the equip
ment and the facilities would be. Dur
ing the past three years the school
has made some money, but the entire
amount Of the earnings, about $1,000,
had been used in improvements and
repairs. Mr.. Capers thanked the pu-
nils. the patrons, and the faculty ror
their loyalty and cooperation. With
out this, he said, there could have
been NO success. But 80 loyal and 80
congenial and helpful had all connec-
ted with the institution been that
there had not been q jar on an un-
pleasantness during the term. Medals
and prizes were then awarded, eaen
announcement producing applause on
the part of the students.

CORPUS TEAM INVITES
FATE.

The Corpus Christi Herald assists
Fate in laying up trouble for Billy
Bowles and the new fiedged baseball
team of the Naples of the Gulf, by
voicing the following:
When Billy Bowles and his swat
tiers get real busy there's generally
something doing. Billy is not selfish
and he extends a cordial invitation to
any teams, not league teams, to wade
in and get what's coming to them.
This invitation is especially extended
to Brownsville down on the Rio
Grande, where they used to think
they could play ball. And Billy
Bowles is no boaster, either. Of
course he lets visiting teams win an
occasional game, as was the case yes
terday when Luling made swift
start, but this is a matter of courtesy
and Billy Bowles and his swatters
never forget that they are gentlemen.
