BANK ON WHEELS
CalIa on Country Patrons for Deposits.

A bank on wheels seems to be the
newest thing. A New Jersey man has
brought forth an automobile bank and
started it out. 1t is said TO be freproof,
bulletproof, burglarproof and proof
against everything except the bank Of
Rcers. 1t is filled with desk and other
Office equipment, a steel safe built in,
a small armory of firearms and win
dow strongly guarded with bars. The
whole is painted steel color.
For the present the only merit claim
ed for this automobile bank is that II
can sail out in the rural districts,
gather up deposits from its country
customers or pay their checks at theii
doors, thus saving them trips to town
and return TO the parent bank in the
city before nightfall.

DELIGHTED WITH
 INSTITUTE WORK
State Superintendent Henry Will lingham Is Pleased With { t-
 come of Institutes

Montgomery October 2S.-(Special)- Reaching Between 5000 and 7000 teachers through the institutes and giving them n line of valuable instructfon frefn con- ductors specially fitted for the servica 's a feat accomplished by Henry J. Willing ham, state superintendent of education,. during the vacation period just brought to an end. Every school enthusi&' t,,a,,, sa-, every section takes it that this is O, neo- the most important services that cal cir rendered, largely increased in importahis because it has been given to every coufteass,
 Mir Willingham has held from the fias... Of his school work that efficiency in teact ing is essential to development, and tha@ efficiency does not always mean what teacher knows. Simply passing the ex- animation is only a part of the equipment of a real teacher, he argues. Consequent ly he began with the opening of his ten gre in office to plan for better teachers. Giving institute instruction to every coun- ty is the most notable result of this line of thinking. It is also a conviction of his that where the general grade of teachers Is high the people are more progressive ard prosperous than where such is not tLe case.

wards colonel of the Forty-seventh Ala bama infantry. c. s. A.: William R. Smith and T. J. Mcclellan.
 Immediately after the adoption of the ordinance of secession he was appointed major general of Alabama state troops, but when these were all transferred and mustered into the service of the Con federate states he did not go with them but retired to private life; and when hs saw. the end of the Confederaey draw ing near he deserted his home, his people, his state in her direst need of men, and took up his abode in Philadelphia.
 He seems not to have been influenced by residence in the City of Brotherly Love" for there he wrote Tobias Will son. a 12 mo- book of 327 pages, not a pamphlet, as aDr. Riley wrote, and which Is the btterest, Yilest libel I have ever read on the southern people. particularly the people of Jackson county, Alabama, and the adjoining counties, and especially on the Baptists.
 I am sure that had Dr. Riley ever read this malicious libel, in which the Bap- lists are to a man classed as traitors, murderers, house. burners and assassins, he would never have classed its author among the great, good men who helped to make Alabama.
 Tn this book Jere Clemens wrote that whenever a man was seen to have a yell low bandana handkerchief, that was the same sign that he was a secessionist, a murderer and Baptist Yours truly,

Regarding Jeremiah Clemens

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Recently pr. Riley, under the title, .'Men Who Have Made Alabama wrote the name Jeremiah Clemens.
 That Jere Clemens was a man of abil- ity, that he had the gift of speech to a high degree, was conceded by all who knew him; but he never made any part of Alabama's glorious history, and did his utmost to un-make this great state at a time when the services of every true man counted very largely.
 He was honored by his people as their representative in the legislature, and all though possessed of a mind far above the average, he never wrote nor was in- strumental in passing any law which tended to alleviate the condition of his felowman, or that was in keeping with the great advance in civilization in which the states of the American union were in the lead.
 He cared more for office than prin- ciples. was intensely selfish; and described bv one who saw and heard him in the legislature: Bold as a party leader, he aspired to control older democrats who were not always willing to follow his rash or premature counsels; hence there was often disagreement in the ranks On such occasions he would avow his own independence and seek to provide honors for himself
 So we'll did he provide honors for him self that by combination of few dis gruntled democrats, with the whigs of the legislature, he succeeded the great Alabamian-Dixon H. Lewis-as senator in Congress from Alabama.
 He was elected as delegate from Mad ison county to the state convention which adopted the ordinance of secession He was an avowed co-operationist when elected, that is, he advocated conferring with other southern states and thereby securing concerted action: but when the convention adopted the ordinance and the state was out of the union, there was then no field of operation for the theory of cooperation.
 He was not coerced into signing the ordinance, for 24 delegates never signed it. and some of them were as good men and patriotic citizens as. ever lived in Alabama, such as Hon. Henry C. Jones, who still lives; Michael J. Bulger. after

 YELLED LIBRARY

Auburn, October 2S.-(Special.)-On of the most valuable acquisitions to the H. brary of the Alabama Polytechnic in stitute came the other day in the form of bequest made by William Dana. Fay Tor, Auburn 'S1, and professor of railway engineering at the University of Wiscon- sin, at the time of his death last sum mer. Professor Taylor willed to the col lege at Auburn his entire engineering H. brary, consisting of many standard works on engineering, many personal notes taken during his long service as a prac- tical engineer, and dozens of text books on engineering subjects.
 Professor Taylor was a native of Mont gomery, but he was called away from his home after graduation by the exi- gencies of his profession. He served as chief engineer for many railroads about the Birmingham mineral district, chief engineer of the St. Louis Peoria and Northern railroad professor of engineer ing and physicians, Louisiana State uni versity, and engineer in charge of con- struction of the Chicago and Alton rail- way.

Fine Service Rendered

q am delighted with the results of the institute efforts," said MT. Willingham. "Reaching over 5000 people is an event far reaching in its importance to the general development of the state. Every teacher who has been benefited will go back and take a higher order of service to those win whom she or he lives and works. Those who have not the fitness and the talent for the calling have, in some cases, found out that they have not and great many are dropping out, making place for real teachers, who will provide enthusiastic as well as competent service and make high ground for pupils and par
 ents to stand upon" N
 NJ Wilingham is engaged in sum
 ming up the good things that have already come out Mpf the institute work "Do you know one of the coun- ty superintendents has come to me and said he would not seek the office again, as he felt that he was not the man and he hoped to 'see someone chosen

who would be better fitted for the serv- ice which he understood now was vital in the progress of the state,' continued the state superintendent. Several county boards have adopted measures for a clearer grading and better classification of the school room work in the rural schools. This grows out of a desire to secure a proper share of the teachers time to the lower grades. where is the great mass oe pupils. and not have it given so large ly, probably. half. ip. taac jug s-fawi ad- vanced students.P
 Some Efficient Aids
 R. H. Baker, the new high school sr rperyisor, Is proving a valuable and Instructive asset~in the institutes. Long experience has given him vast knowl- edge of the wants of the rural schools. Ivy goes and comes where he can preVai strength and progress and is to auth, n his attention. He has been temporari to six counties for the year. up, but thhgham desiring that he work ing anythpecific way plans which they band or Ut at the same time he Is at lea' call of any situation that may need him anywhere. The teachers are call ing on him all the time and the coun- ty superintendents are finding in him a. support that has never before been available.
 MT Baker is developing the school improvement work along with his oth- CT services, and, with the assistance of Mrs. E. D. Thames, representing the women's clubs, who will keep in touch by correspondence with all or ganzations it is hoped to bring this up to a high state of usefulness. At every institute held blanks were given out to teachers in preparation for or ganization for both school improve ment and library extension The legis- lature charged MT. Willingham, in con- nection with the library extension serv- ice of the state department of ar chives and history, with the duty of widening the library facilities in the cuntry and it is being pushed at every point.
 Mir Willingham is pleased with the way things are going in all lines. is he satisfied with the out come of the institutes and the services of the rural school inspector With the first at work during the vacation pe- riod and the latter at work all the time, much improvement to the schoo. facilities are sure to come.
