.DR. [. H. GRIGGS ON
 PERSONAL ETHICS
Two Lectures In Series De-
 Iivered Yesterday
CONTINUES DANTE TOPICS
Lecturer, Says Love Is Foundation of World and Ethics Must Deal
 With Individuals to
 Do Good.

Dr. Edward HoYard Griggs continued his lecture series yesterday at the High school auditorium In the afternoon his subject was "The Problem of the Divine Comedy" Last night he began the gen eral theme "The Ethics of Personal Life his special topic being "The Aim of Life The lecture was pronounced very instructive and the audience was given a deep analysis of the problems of hu- manity in a most forceful manner.
 Love" said Dr. Grlggs, lis the founda- ton of the world. Suppose you take away all love from the world-think what would happen to the individual, the family and the state.
 Ethics must deal with individuals in order to do good, for all great things de- pend on the individual. All great move ments, all great religions, while consid- cred collectively depend on the individual. Thus morality and goodness have no meaning unless they effect single persons
 Going back we find the mother to be the founder of all altruism. For instance, if her child, is injured she sympathizes with him. This sympathy expanded until an entire tribe felt injured over the in- jury of a single member We have reached a high stage, but not the high est, for if a great calamity befalls an- other nation we also should feel injured. Thus we see that the development of sym pathy and personality Is one of the most important principles of ethics.
 While in the process of evolution our great difficulty lies in our inability to see the end. Therefore, all we can say of the end of life must be guided by all the goodness and height we have achieved so far.
 Life means to appreciate goodness, love and wisdom and to seek the higher things. Therefore, in order to solve the great problems of life we must go onward, pro- gress, watch, love and help others"
 The afternoon lecture on '"rhe Problem of the Divine Comedy" was attended by a large audience. ''The great problem" the speaker said, "seems to be to reconcile our views to Gods plans or purposes. In other words the most sinful men seem to be the most prosperous and vice versa
 ''The Inferno the Purgatorio and the Paradise are the three great parts which teach a lesson. The lesson of the Inferno is that sin brings its own destruction, or the wages of sin is death'
 'rrhe Purgatorio teaches that the only difference between the inhabitants of the Purgatorio and Inferno is that the in habitants of the latter turn their heads away from God.
 "The Paradise shows that if a person is purged from all sin he will shine with a perfect light and love of God"
 The lectures for today are; Afternoon, "Dante: The Inferno;" evening, ''The Ethics of Personal Life: Self Culture and Service Through the Vocation"

CIRCUIT COURT IS
 STILL IN SESSION
WILL HICKS IS ON TRIAL AT EVERGREEN FOR THE MURDER OF A NEGRO HACK DRIVER. PASTOR GIVEN VACATION.

Evergreen, April (Special)- the criminal docket being called. The grand jury has adjourned, after hay ing made the shortest report ever made by a similar body in this county. Dur ing a session of less than six days, 103 cases were examined and only 3S indictments found. The report shows all county affairs in good and prosper ous condition. In the treasury there is $52540.27 belonging to the several funds of the county.
 Will Hicks, who has been feigning in- sanity, shows now that he was sham ming. He, it will be remembered, is under indictment for the brutal and shocking murder of the negro hack driver from Prestwoods stables in An dalusia. It is believed that the motive for the crime was the refusal of the driver to surrender his employers team to Hicks. It is the theory of the state that Hicks, though a mar ried man, had arranged to elope with another woman, and, having made all his arrangements to do so he became
 so enraged aI the refusal of the faith
 ful negro to let him have the team
 that he shot him dead and then threw
 his body into Sepulga river, where it
 was subsequently, found. c. E. Ham
 ilton of Greeneville is defending Hicks
 under appointment of the court.
 Two other murder cases are Luman
 Robertson charged with the killing of Claud Mooney and Tom Owen charged with killing Glib Wiley. Both are ne- groes.

FATAL ENDING OF
 PISTOL BATTLE

Knoxville, Tenn, April 1S.-Theodore Rose and Dick Thomas were the prin- cipals in a bloody tragedy enacted near Mentor, Va, small station on the Louis vile and Nashville meagre details of which have been received here. Rose was killed and Thomas lies at the point of death. It is stated that the two men were gambling when a dispute arose and pistols were pulled. Rose was shot four times and Thomas in three places. A CO., incidence of the tragedy is that each man has previously killed man. Rose killed Harvey Birchfeld some 12 years ago. and escaped arrest for more than eight years, although once during that period he was arrested but was rescued by friends, who took him away from officers by force. When tried for murder he was acquitted, as the principal witness against him could not be found.
 Thomas killed a man six years ago near Townsend, but was acquitted on the ground thet he was shooting at another person and that the bullet accidentally passed through the side of cabin and killed an innocent party.

BIBB DELAYS THE
 BUILDING OF JAIL

Centreville, April 13.-At a special meeting of the members of the board of county commissioners here today it was decided not to build the new coun ty jail at this place for the present. At this time there are comparatively few prisoners confined in the county jail and 1t is not probable that the jail will be crowded with prisoners for some time to come as there were only about three prisoners left after the re- cent term of the circuit court. It Is very probable that the jail will be erected some time during the first of next year. At the time Inspector Bush made his report condemning the jail at this place it was in very crowded condition, having some 30 prisoners confined therein, but conditions now are very different.
 Charles Henderson, president of the railroad commission of Alabama, and his associate, w. D. Nesbit, made an official visit to this place today. They were very much pleased with the con dition of affairs here as not one com plaint was registered against any rail- road operating in Bibb county. MT. Henderson returned to Montgomery on the afternoon train and MT. Nesbit made a trip through the country to BlOcIOn. "A dPPcai So pSACi o the railroad commissioners and asked that they take up the matter of gfv- ing a special rate on compressed cot ton from this point.
 Senator H. E. Reynolds and Mrs. Reynolds left this afternoon for At lanta, Ga, where Senator Reynolds goes as a delegate to the Southern Educat- tional convention.
 Deputy Sheriff c. H. Cole landed in iail here today a man charged with violating the prohibition law of Bibb county. When arrested he had on his person three quarts of mean whisky. His case will be tried at the next term of the circuit court.

KING CORN

The national corn exposition recent
ly held in Omaha, was a revelation to
thousands of people who entertained
the idea that corn is merely corn"
4 few years ago the uses OF corn were
confined to feeding stock, making
cornbread and mush. Now this cereal
is taking its proper place among the
foodstufs of the world, and it's many
by-products are being utilized to the
fullest extent. As a result the price
of-corn is enhanced, and the price Of
c. q land grows daily The corn rails
ing area is restricted, and the future
enlargement Of the corn crop is de-
pendent upon intensified farming
rather than upon the utilization OF
added acreage. The corn producer no
longer selects his seed haphazard.
puts it into the ground after hasty
preparation and depends upon chance.
Agriculture is becoming an exact sci
ence, and state agricultural schools
are doing a splendid missionary work
r preparing the way for scientific
soil culture. The Omaha corn expo
sitlon will give an added incentive to
further investigation and experiment,
and the results will be beneficial in
many WAYS. 1t is not hazardous to

MARIoN's OPPORTUNITY


The Ocala Banner publishes a list
of premiums awarded at the recent
Marion County Fair-and the list is
one that is surprisingly thorough and
comprehensive.
The fairs exhibits evidently cover
ed a wide scope and one cannot help
being struck with the variety of pro-
ducts shown by the enterprising peo-
pie of that county.
1t will be remembered that Marion
county won the grand championship
prize at the only state fair at which
that county had an exhibit, and this
experience ought to be sufficient to in
duce the public spirited people of Ma
rion to join in the effort to present an
other wonderful display at the next
state fair.
Judging from the premium list I'M
der notice it would not be difficult for
Marion to make a showing Of such
general excellence as to gather in a
rich reward in premiums, not to men
ton the very valuable advertising at
