thropic friend from the north was at
tracted by his earnestness and zeal and
rendered him assistance.
Twenty-four years ago. when he was
graduated from Shaw university. the
president gave him $40 and command
ed him to go down to n neglected por-
ton OF North Carollua and build n
school. He laughed heartily and said
Are you serious. Mr.. President? What
can be done with S1Oy' And the presi-
dent replied. 1T is exactly $40 more
than had when came to Raleigh aft
er the war and began to build this
great institution" A long story Is
briefly told when we remember that
the school has been built and tina; $40
was the first OF many offerings which
made possible its fruitful growth. Two
hundred students are In attendance.
Many OF them go to the higher insti-
tutions to complete their education as
lawyers. physicians. teachers. bankers
and ministers TO their rnce.

The activity Of the student body. ac-
tuated by the strong Christian en-
vironment and principles. the basis of

denced in the life of Jacksonville. The
graduates engaged in professions. COM
merce and trades are highly success
ful and are conspicuous In their re-
spective communities because of their
character for good and thorough
eparation for life of productive
work
The broadness OF the president is ex-
emplifed in the faculty being members
of various denominations and the stu
dent body being the same. Plans are
now being carefully considered where
the scope of the school will be such
that the denominational phase. as 1t is
believed by some to be only for those
OF the Baptist inclination, will interest
people of all denominations 1t is now
largely upon this scale. Because of
such ennobling ideas permeating the
entire faculty and officiary and the
high standard OF proficiency of those
identified with the academy the growth
has been so steady and assuring OF the
need Of such movement In Florida
that these exigencies require large
brick building at once.
A feature that is very helpful to the
boys is the military regulations of the
school. The girls indulge in all healthy
gymnastic exercises. and student life
upon this campus invigorates the most
stupid fellow and gives him a broader
conception OF the possibilities of be-
coming a desirable factor in working
out honestly the problems OF life.

Jacksonville, Fla.-The Florida Bap-
tist academy is a splendid tribute to
Americans. The growth Of be insti-
tuition, with its plant and equipment,
which is conservauvely estimated at
$4,000, is largely due to the excep-
tional qualifications of its honored
president. Professor N. w. Collier. By
diligence and strict attention to the
many duties which deyolve upon him
as the directing head Of the school
Mr.. Collier has won many friends for
the school
The school is fortunate in being To-
Gated in picturesque section Of the
city AS Florida may justly be called
the gateway to the tourist section OF
the south. any number Of prominent
educators and travellers from the
north visit the academy on their an
nual pilgrimages to this section dur
ing the winter season.
The remarkable progress of the
school has elected the highest COM
mendation from those visiting 1t. from
ex-President Roosevelt down to the
careworn veteran of the civil war
from the north. People who are prom
inent in the educational realm admit
that this work is absolutely impera-
tive to conserve the forces of the
young people. especially in Florida. II
they are to become citizens of the
highest ideals.
The atmosphere within radius of
mile OF the academy reminds one OF
being near an educational movement

rates cases that have been pending
for several months.
The decision of the commissing is
sweeping beyond all anticipation. even
by the shippers. II declines to allow
a single increase by the 900 or more
railroads in the east and the middle
west.
II throws aside as unsubstantiated
the contention of the railroads that
they must have increased revenues to
meet the increased cost OF equipment
and operation. and by its decision cuts
of between $50.000.000 and 100000. 900
year in revenue which the railroads
had expected to realize from the pro.
posed increase. On the other hand, 1t
means an annual saving OF that
amount to the shippers OF the coun-
try.
The commission orders the carriers
to cancel the proposed increases by
March 10. and notifies them that in
the event OF failure an order will be
entered continuing the present rates
for two years, thus preventing the
carriers from making any changes in
that period. The railroads may now
appeal TO the newly created commerce
court, and II is the opinion OF many
of their lawyers that this step will be
taken.

gift of 7. Coleman Dupont, was the
report brought to Dover by Governor
Pennewill and Colonel A. X. Benson,
who had a conference with Mr.. Du.

lowing the jump in the valuation OF

prompted the outright donation.

Held on Molten Iron
By Enemy in Foundry

TRENTON, n. J., July ia horrible
story of an infuriated mans cruelty
was told in police court here today,
when Ricardo Zafreti was arraigned,
charged with atrocious assault and
battery upon Cologne Zoda. The men,
employed at the Trenton Malleable Iron
Works, got into a quarrel which de-
veloped into a fight. Thoy tussled
about until Zafrei hurled his combatant
upon the mound of a large mold with
such force that Zoda was stunned, and
lay unconscious until the sizzling metal,
just poured into the mold. burned
through his clothing and began to burn
his flesh. The man uttered a piercing
shrek.
Zafreti was so infuriated that he
jumped madly upon Zoda, witnesses
said. and held his roasting body into
the molten iron until Zoda was un-
conscious. Other laborevs interfered,
and Zoda was rushed to Mckinley Hos
pital, where he is now in a serious con-
dition. Zafreu was held to await the
outcome of the mans injuries.
