 The location of the camp is very pretty. Nestled among the pines where a breeze sf,,avs hIov.}s one knows that the location is splendidly healthful.

The preparations and plans for ,e Society Circus this year will be followed with exceptinal interest because of the cause which it represents-the Tuber- culosis hospital on Red mountain. The entire district has the welfare of the camp at heart. It is county institu- ton, indeed, and one which 1t behooves the people of every locality of the county to foster
 The efforts of those who have in charge the Society Circus are broad and far reaching. for not only does every locality of the county, but every class of society knows the vital importance of the move ment and is giving it sympathy.
 The Society Circus has been an annual event for the past p years It is antici' pated each spring as genuine treat, for the character of the entertainment is far beyond the usual production offered by amateurs. MT. Harry Miles and MT. Ed Miles have directed the entertain ments so long that they have acquired skill and experience that is immensely valuable. The drills, fancy club swing ing, gymnasium work and clever songs and dances, with new specialties in each introduced every year. have reached high plane and from the special classes trained by the two men, both among the members of the Athletic club and among the boys and girls who are associate members, Mr Harry Miles and MT. An derson are able to call upon skilled per formers to assist them in production which is each year more elaborate and finished They are assisted now, as pre- viously, by MT. J. Ed Miles, who directs the dances. MT. Hill Ferguson who has long been a moving spirit is also a val uabe assistant in arranging many of the details for the circus. while Mrs. Henry B. Gray, one of the most proficient and versatile athletes in Birmingham, is in charge again of a speciality whose partcipats are society girls. Mrs. Gray has been one of the important factors 'n the success of the circus for several years. She is engaging upon this one with especial zest however for the cause 1t represents. Not only is she interested in making the Society Circus suc- cess from an artistic standpoint, no one has the welfare of the Tuberculosis hos pital more at heart than Mrs. Gray. She is all eagerness and enthusiasm at the moment over the furnishing of the room which she has endowed, recognizing the value to the community of an institution which will segregate sufferers with the terrible disease and at the same time in this generous way paying the tender tribute of memory to two members of her own family who were sacrificed to the ravages of the malady.5
 The sextette last year. which Mrs. Gray organized and assisted in training, is re- menbered as one of the most attractive features in the Society Circus. This year some new specislties Will be intro

On the executive board are MT. Sloane, MT. R. F. Johnston, MT. J. M. P. Otts, pr. Cabot Lull and pr. George Eaves. The efforts of the larger body will be supple mented by an organization effected thi week of the women of Birmingham, who have constituted themselves into an aux Hilary to the association. Their presen. efforts will be directed toward the success of the Society Circus. An effort has been n@aeuratea to obtain 5o0 members, and judging from present indications it will be easy undertaking Already many women have volunteered to become meni- bers and to give what assistance they can in securing others.

MRS. M. P. CARROLL
 A DELIGHTFUL VISITOR

| Mrs. M. P. Carroll of Augusta, Ga, de- | lighted her audience yesterday afternoon
 at the Country club. She is the most
 charming of women and her graceful
 courtesy and sweet cordialty has won
 scores of admirers in Birmingham. A
 woman of the old school type, familiar
 with the ante-bellum conditions in the
 south, she knows the negroes as well as
 any other southerner and gives her im-
 presentations with consummate realism. Her portrayal of the pathos and the quaint humor of the negros character Is
 only equalled by the keenness with which
 she pictures that of the typical Georgia cracker" She was found to be refresh- ingly natural yet witha sympathetic in
 her presentation of the foibes peculiar to
 each type. It Is hoped that she will be
 heard again in Birmingham.
 A delightful touch was added to an all ready charming entertainment by Mrs
 Houston Davis piano numbers yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Davis is a superb musi- clan and few members of the musical cul, give so much pleasure as she in her play ing. Each of her selections was admra- bly, interpreted and added fresh laurels to the ones which have been so thickly showered upon her this winter.
 Mrs. Carroll came not unknown to Bir- mingham. She had a number of staunch Friends among the former Georelans, and these have made her brief stay delightful,
 showing her the most gracious of courte-
 sies. She was a guest in the lovely home of MT. and Mrs. H. J. Porter, who came to Birmingham from Augusta few years
 ago. Mrs. Porter entertained for her at
 luncheon. inviting a coterie of Augusta
 women to meet her. In the group were
 Mrs. William Sibley MT. s. Dunbar Sib- ley, Mrs. Charles Sibley. Mrs. Grlggsby T. Sibley. Mrs. Dugar, Mrs. Edward Ware Barrett, Mrs. J. T. Plunket, Mrs. James J. Smith, Mrs. Porter and the guest of honor, Mrs. Carroll.

The color scheme of the luncheon was pink. Enchantress car

I'VE should justly ridicule a general
who, just before an action, should
suddenly disarm his men, and putting
into the hands of all of them a Bible,
should order them, thus equipped, to
march against the enemy. Here we
plainly see the folly of calling in the
Bible to support the sword; but is it
not as great a folly to call in the sword
to support the Bible? Our Saviour
divided force from reason, and let no
man presume to join what God hath
with any other weapon than argument,
we err more than those whom we
attack.
None are so fond of secrets as those
who do not mean to keep them; such
persons covet secrets as a spendthrift
covets money, for the purpose of cir
culaticE.
ssThere are minds so habituated to
intrigue and mystery in themselves,
and SO prone to expect it from others,
that. they will never accept of a plain
reason for a plain fact, if it is possible
to devise causes for it that are OBJ
scure, far-fetched, and usually not
worth the carriage. Like the miser or
Berkshire, who would ruin good
horse to escape a turnpike so these
gentlemen ride their shigh-bre theo-
ries to death, in order to come at
truth through by-paths, lanes and al
leys, while she herself is jogging quiet
ly along upon the high and beaten
road of common sense. The conSe-
uuence is that they who take this
mode of arriving at truth are some
times before her and sometimes be-
hind her, but very seldom with her.
Thus the great statesman who re-
lates the conspiracy against Doria.

ly to scrutinize into divers and sundry
errors committed, and opportunities
Neglected, whereby he would wish to
account for the total failure of that
spirited enterprise. But the plain fact
was, that the scheme had been so well
planned and digeSted, that it was vic
torious in every point of its operation,
both on the sea and on the shore, in
the harbor of Genoa no less than in
the city, until that most unlucky &C
who was the very life and soul of the
conspiracy. In stepping from one gal
ley to another, the plank on which he
stood upset, and he fell into the sea.
His armour happened to be very
heavy-the night to be very dark-the
water to be very deep-and the bot
tom to be very muddy And it is an
other plain fact that water, in all such
cases, happens to make no distinction
whatever between a cOnqueror and a
cat"
Aren't these interesting bits of ex-
preston equally pertinent to the fol-
bles and phrases of life in America to-
day as they were considered by Col
ton pertinent to the people of his day
and generation?
