THE FoRERuNNER.

He held his way undauntedly, Through times of sun and storm, With hope to shield him from despair And love to keep him warm. And though the hills he climbed were
 steep
 And thorns bestrewed his path, And ghostly shadows followed fast, And shapes of mortal wrath, And though the world seemed strangely
 cold,
 He did not wonder why, But whispered low when things went
 wrong,
 Success comes by and by.' At last he laid him down forspent, The goal yet far away His frame by weight of years was bent, His hair was thin and gray. His eyes were dim, his arm so weak No more he dared the heights More sapless than the faded bloom The frost of winter blights. A failure? No; since far adown The path his feet had worn, A silent host were toling up To reach the perfect morn.

A Busy Fall

We have had long summer, but the schools and colleges are resumins' the merchants will soon be busy, ana al together great activity along all lines may be expected said a member or the Chamber of Commerce.
 From all accounts the colleges will be filled with students. The scholastic year 1s1l-12 promises to be record year in educational work. There will be great activity. too, in benevolent activities. Many of the churches will doubtless have spiritual revivals in the late autumn. and Birmingham will con- tinue to grow in population, In wealth and in good morals"

The Camp Hill school

J. c. Foster, young member of the Tuscaloosa bar and a graduate of the Southern Industrial institute at Camp Hill. was in Birmingham yesterday He is duly accredited agent of the institute. which is popularly known as Lyman Ward S school. An effort is being made to raise an endowment fund, and both
 Principal Ward and Mir. Foster have been giving their attention to this work during the past few weeks.
 Tn presenting the claims of the South ern Industrial institute, am meeting With decided encoura cement" said MT. Foster
 q haven't raised as much money.as MT. Ward, who has been doing some canvass ing up north, but I feel confident that later in the fall after prosperous and zen erous Alabamians return from their sum- mer vacations I will round up substan- tial sum subscribed for the endowment. T attended the farmers union and found a great deal of enthusiasm there over the Camp Hill institution. When | the purpose of Principal Ward to educate
 farmers boys and fit them for agricu!- | ture on a large economic scale was ex- plained to the union every man present signified his approval. I never saw more enthusiasm than was manifested on the
 part of some of the leaders at the mee.llg
 when they discussed the crying need for
 schools like Mr. Wards.
 l "I have letters from Governor O'Neal,
 Commissioner Kolb, and Dr. Thach of
 Auburn, heartily recommending the South
 ern Industrial institute and bespeaking
 for me a courteous hearing. The last Legislature voted appropriation for the institute at Camp Hill of 5000 a year l for four years. but owing to a deficit in the state treasury this appro- Ipriation will not be presently available. ] MT Ward graduated from famous University and is one of the best equipped
 educators in the United States. He Is a Isplendid scholar but his plan sys- Item at Camp Hill has been of the elemen ltary kind, giving the boys a good general leducation with stress on agriculture, with
 out attempting anything over the head lof the average blow boy. Agricutira chemistry will be one of the few scien- tifc studies in high technology. Carnp lIIil is wonderfully popular, and the ac- lcommodations there will be taxed to the limit during the coming scholastic year"

The Beattie Case

lne SuSC
 T have followed closely the Beattie trial in Virginia, and I believe the man charged with wife murder will suffer the death penalty" said a member of Br- |mingham's Virginia colony. 'srhe Asso- ciated Press has reported this trial fully so that the newspaper reader in Bos- ton. New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Birmingham and all the other large cities could pass upon the evidence and form his own opinion as well as If he had been in the little old Chesterfield courthouse, 15 miles from Richmond, where the case is being heard
 '1t was In Richmond in the sos when Cluverius was tried and convicted on cir cumstantial evidence. He protested his innocense on the gallows, and there are many well known citizens in Richmond today who believe that an innocent nan was hanged And so it will be in this young man Beatties case. Both the prose- by legal talent and acute insight But the chain of circumstantial evidence pre- sented by the state has been as strong, if not stronger, than that which sealed Clu- verius' doom.
 "Cluverius, beyond any reasonable doubt, was guilty of murder. He betrayed his cousin, Lillian Madison, and then killed her. His protestation of innocence surprised me. He had been well brought up in a Christian community, and had been a member of Bible class. I was not surprised at his making fight for his life, but I expected a confession on the day of the execution. How he could go out of life with a lie on his lip was more than I could understand. But he did. Young Beattie has been stoical dur ing the greater part of his trial. Clu- verius was stoical from the beginning to the end. I would wager almost anything that Beattie will confess before he goes to the electric chair.
 Virginia some years ago abolished hanging and substituted what was re- garded as the more humane method-elec- trcity''
