FLORENCE DEFENDS PRESIDENT WILSON Work of Education During Fourteen Years
  AN EXPERTS OPINION Reports That No Southern College Keeps so We'll Abreast With the Times as That at
 Florence
 
AN EXPERTS OPINION
By AMELIA BODDIE

Florence, June 0-(Special.) )-There is but one opinion expressed in Florence over the. deposition of President M. c. Wilson from the head of the Normal col lege faculty, and that is one of sincere regret, and this will be shared by the 72S members of the alumni scattered throughout the state.
 Florentines have seen wonderful changes take place in the college during the 14 years siPce MT. Wilson assumed tie presidency They have seen three years added to the curriculum four new departments added-manual training, modern languages. literature and his tory-and the faculty augmented by the addition of four teachers, the Normal col lege being the first school in the state to install a manual training department They have seen two handsome wings add ed to the main building, the entire in terior remodeled, furnaces, steam heat ing apparatus and water works installed; a fine library collected and a librarian employed. They have seen the enroll ment grow from BIO to 412.
 Graduates from the Florence Normal can enter the senior class at the Uni versty of Alabama; are given advanced standing in the Universities of Chicago and Pennsylvania; enter the junior year at the University of Virginia. at Tulane and at Vanderbilt, and are excused on ex- animation from all chemistry at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania.
 More than 51a per cent of the entire white teaching force in the state of Ala bama now are from the Florence Normal college, while in the state high schools 16 Florence Normal graduates are teach ing as against four from the other five white normals in the state.
 It is a well-known fact that graduates of the Florence Normal are in great de- mand throughout the state, and that they command higher salaries than the gradu- ates of the other five white normals.
 Men and institutions are judged gen. orally by results, and so judged, it can not be truthfully charged that President Wilson is incompetent or that the Flor ence Normal has failed to keep abreast of the times.''
 In a report to a former governor of Alabama, made by an expert sent out by the late Dr. J. L. M. Curry, this crit icsm was given: During the past F years I have visited every state normal in 16 southern states, and have been given thorough opportunity for inspection. can honestly say that in all my experi- ence in the south 1 have seen no state normal which seems to me to have more completely grasped the true idea of that style of school or more completely carried it out, than the one at Florence. l have never seen in any state so much good work for so small a sum of money as SC here at the State Normal in Flor ence.'
 Through President Wilson's efforts ap- propriations aggregating s65,000 have been recently made by the state and the city of Florence to build a girls tormitory at the college

LICK DELIGHTFUL
 WITH ITS MANY ATTRACTIONS

40 or 50 very good saddle horses. So with golf and horseback riding and pleasant walking one can get abundance of eX- ereise.
 In the evening the mecca for both sexes Is the Casino. or Browns as it is best known. This is wide-open gam h1ing house, where men and women con gregate in full evening dress whether they would chance the games or no. Those vbo don't play watch. the others who are more bold in their conduct Many roulette wheels are in full operation, be- sides lnnumerable other games with dice, and cards. and gilded and niclted wheels with rolling balls like unto wheels of for t,;ne Almost every gambling device l.rown except the faro layout is here, and gre as open to all visitors as would be one or more of the games Of chance. Al most everybody loses. Apparently every effort is made by the management to aid women players to win, but the percent age in favor of the games is so great that it is difficult. Almost every man contributes to MT. Brown.
 One of the few exceptions was Har- houn the winner of the great automobile rare at Indianapolis last week. lie came over with a load of yellow back hills stuffed away in his clothes, not to sneak of another kind carried internally. He was celebrating his victory and he made the roulette wheel contribute lib- erally to further celebrations. He threw bills on the numbers like drunken sail or and hit the winners in almost every turn. He left the place with money bulging from his pockets like random rags. But he was the exception.
 However, besides the health-givins properties of the waters one can find any sort of amusement one wants here everything but automobiling. The roads are too bad for any pleasure in motoring

WORKING HARD
 0N NEW CHARTER
Commission Agitation Has Atlanta Politicians Up
 in the Air

Atlanta, June 10-(Special.) )-Atlanta now has a sub-sub committee on com misison government
 The third committee is a. committee of three designated by the committee of five which in it's turn was appointed by the committee of 123
 The third committee Is composed of two lawyers and a laboring man, Alex c. King, Charles T. Hopkins and Luther H. Still, the latter a well-known printer. Its duty is to draft the charter, refer1it to the committee of five, which, in turn, will pass it on to the committee of 123, after which. if everybody agrees about
 it, 1t will go to the legislature.
 The three committees. or at least two of them, have no small amount of hard work ahead to get out suitable charter for presentation to the coming session of the general assembly; but they are deter mined that this shall be done and that the people shall have chance to vote upon it at the regular city election in the fall
 Members of the committee say they are going to get it before the coming session, HO ildtlcl WHdl HdPPchSS ohu 'o 'h"t chu they have already arranged for the ad- vertisement of the new charter to comply with legal requirement. in the case of To- cal bills
 Just what the new charter is going to contain is a matter now of much doubt, but in a general way 1t is said 1t will pro- vide for mayor and five to seven com misisoners at the head of the various city departments.
 This commission government movement rather has the politicians up in the air They don't know just what to do about 1t, particularly in view of the fact that it looks as if the people would overwhelm- ingly vote for the adoption of the new charter
 The situation is a peculiar one. Until there is a change in the form of govern ment the city must, of course operate under the present charter. Therefore the usual number of councilmen and alder election Now this Is the same election at which the people will decide whether they want the new charter and it is to be provided that the new charter shall go into effect January 1, 1912. The city primary comes along In Sep | tember or October, so those who want | to go to council must conduct their cam paigns as usual, and they may have to do it this time in the face of possibility of not being able to serve al all For 1T the new charter Is adopted and goes into effect the first of the year, the new coun- cilmen and aldermen so chosen will be without offices.

RACE
 WITH MAD HOG A Rural Mail Carrier Is Chased By a Hog With
 the Rabies

Scottsboro June 0.-(SpeciaL)-T. T. Burch, rural mail carrier on Route 1, out of Stevenson, had an experience Thurs day that he will long remember.
 A large black hog made furious by a terrible attack of hydrophobia, came into the road and gave chase to MT. Burch and his horse and buggy for a mile in the direction of Stevenson, beginning near the residence of MT. John Huddleston and ending mile away down the pike.
 The race was exciting from start to fin- ish and would have been serious had not the hog ran into some water that threw it into fits, thus giving MT Burch a good lead He called to farmers along the road, but none could understand him until Mr Smith, who was hoeing corn near the road, got a gun and shot the hog.
 Mrs s. M. Taylor of Stevenson was at tackled and badly bitten by an angry dog just as she was entering the yard at the residence of P. c. Puckett late Thursday afternoon. The dog is reported to have been bitten by another affected with hy- drophobia some time ago. It was not known that the dog was suffering from the rabies when IL attdcheu the lady, put it was killed immediately and it's head sent to the Pasteur institute at Mont gomery by first express to see if any trace of hydrophobia can be found.
 c. o. Reed, who has been with the Ten nessee Valley bank at this place for the past two years, has been transferred to the Tennessee Valley bank at Tuscumbia. MT. Reed while here made many friends.
 Max l.. Friedman, a spectacle peddler, who claims Atlanta as his home. was ar rested here this week on a charge Of peddling without license. It is claimed that he sold a number of very cheap glasses for large sums, claiming them to be fine lenses. This afternoons work without a license cost him dearly as the following will show: He was fined slb- judges fee, $5; sheriff's fee, s2, and pros ecutor's fee, $50; together with license that he paid the city made hole of over $50 in his commercial venture in Scotts- boro. He left on the next train.
