The latter was a sister of Martin Lindsey, millionaire of Mobile.
 Mrs Will Rowling admits the killing and claims self-defense. The trouble arose over the effort of Mrs. Henry Nowl- ing to put into the house of Mrs. Will Rowling household effects of a married daughter. Mrs. Will Rowling had told things to her home. It is claimed the de- ceased opened the house during the ab- sence of Mrs. Will Rowling and put some of the things in the home. Later she found Mrs. Will Rowling at home and was again warned by her.
 Ignoring the warning, she is alleged to have advanced on Mrs. Will Rowling with a bed slat, at which juncture Mrs. Will Rowling fired, the load of shot taking effect in the heart of Mrs. Henry Rowling and killing her instantly.

Athens September 16.-(SpeciaL)- Miss Mary N. Moore is the idol of the North Alabama Methodist conference and Athens college, of which she is president, Is the idol of Athens.
 This institution bears the distinction of having been the second educational institution chartered for the educator of women in the world. It was estab lished in 1S42. The college has gone through many hard experiences and once or twice during and following the war was suspended for brief periods But 1t has been gaining in power and influence during the past few years and is now considered one of the best in stltutions of the kind in the south.
 Miss Moore has been president for several years and the college has shown great advancement under her administration. In the past five years s150,OOO has been spent in improve ments and extensions, and still more is to be done. Miss Moore now has in hand almost all of a fund of s25,000 for an additional building which will be erected at once.
 Occupies Beautiful Site.
 The college occupies a beautiful site just outside the business center of the town. Miss Moore has just been elected for term of 15 years, which in itself is proof of the confidence that is re- posed in her ability by those in charge of the institution.
 Miss Moore refuses the publication of her photograph with becoming modesty and thereby robs the public of a delight that perhaps justly be- longs to it. She, in a sense belongs to the public. but when I presented this argument in an effort to secure hee photograph she smilingly handed me photograph of the college building. That is what the public is interested in, not myself. There Is my life, my love. I am sorry but l cannot permit the publication of my photograph
 For this wilfulness l am going to tell a secret. She is beautiful. Thous-

 MT Thompson, who Is solicitor of the Fourth Judicial district, said that he would be happiest in the ranks, but will do the best he can anywhere. He told of the introduction of a prohibition bill by D. P Bester of Mobile in 1S3S and how 1t had been hissed and reviled.
 He said that the argument that the amendment Is a police regulation is fool ish, that the constitution Is full of police regulations.

ands of my readers have seen her an will confirm this truth, but there are many who have never seen this wom- an of energy and brilliancy Not many men have more power of endurance and executive ability. That she sus- tains herself under such constant strain of work and unselhsh planning for others is a mystery to all who know of her labors.
 Gentle But Firm.
 She has the appearance of a girl of 1S-she may be no more-indeed I do not know, but there is nothing frivol- ous in the strong, handsome features that are at once gentle and command ing. She is a general who wins obedi e9ce with a smile and yet could send to the rack If necessity required it.
 It is said of her that she Is seldom fooled into the selection of an incom- potent teacher, but when she is no in- fiuence can secure the repetition of the mistake.
 Dr. Wulf, the musical director in the college, bears the distinction of having at one time been tutor to the children of the Emperor of Germany. brother now holds that position. Miss Moore has been fortunate in gathering about her the very pest IedCnSHb dHd dsSlStd1lS III every QS- partment that can be secured. She be- lieves in quality and strives in everything to reach the very highest point of excel lence.
 She has not only endeared herself and the institution over which she presides to the people of Athens, but to the people of the state at large.
 Alumni Building.
 The alumni of the school are preparing to build a dormitory which will be an eloduent attestation of the love they have for the institution. Being one of the old est institutions of the kind in the south, 1t naturally numbers among its alumni many women of note and prominence, and they are strewn from one end of the con- tinent to the other.
 Athens is famed for it's schools, churches and social refinement It is old in tradi- ton and history and has been the home of some of the most prominent families of the state.

 Trinity College.
 Trinity college the negro school, was established here in 1865. Up to about two years ago the school was located in the heart of the city, but about that time the entire property was destroyed by fire and the location moved to West Athens, where a site was purchased. It Is rather a cOtneidence that the present. puHuihS' which is very handsome and commodious, occupies the exact site of the old fort which was at one time during the war occupied by regiment of negro federal troops.
 Readers of history will remember that this fort was captured by General Forest with a mere handful of men by clever ruse The commander of the negro regi- ment or garrison was Dutehman, who declined to surrender at the demand of General Forest The story goes that ion- eral Forest told the Dutchman that he had such a force of men that he would be able to exterminate the garrison.
 The Dutchman was from Missouri, and General Forest proceeded to show him his men. They were concealed in heavy wood near the fort. and he manipulated them in such a manner that they were presented to the fort four times by march ng them through the woods and out into to open field and back again.
 The Dutchman surrendered without re- sistance.
