PelI City. October S.--(Special.) .)-The political situation of this county is be- ginning to warm up, Sumter Cogsweli having been named by the bull moosers to run for Congress against John L. Burnett. Mr. Cogswell stated while at home over Sunday that he would not have the time to spare to make an active campaign. however, Ke was in the race to the finish. Mr Cogswell will in all prob ability make an address at this place and in soms others throughout the coun- ty before the election.
 The republicans met at Odenville a few days since and nominated chesley D. Alverson of this place for county tax collector, Mr Burchfield from Coal City having resigned. MT. Alverson is re- joicing over the fact that he has been nominated for this place, having been very desirous of getting before the peo- pie once more. From all indications the democratic county ticket will win from top to bottom. followed closely by the progressive ticket, standpat republicans running a bad third.

THORSBY NOTES

Thorsby, October S.-(Special )-Selling real estate at auction with the mercury at 90 in the shade may reasonably be considered as a 'hot time." J. r. Pet erson, one of the founders of Thorsby, under the auspices of North Carolina concern, has closed out at auction his entire holdings of business and residence lots at an aggregate price of more than 5000. Owing to lack of newspaper pub, licity the crowd was less than 1000 peo- pie, but the bidding was spirited and bet ter prices prevailed than was expected.

Renedictines with their gracefully huted

They are a strange and interesting assem-

apparently enjoying a life that is a trif1e

efforts that the present course material
lied last year and continued on wider
basis this year. He is an educator whose
work is we'll known to students OF
pedagogy. Among his assistants Is DR..
e. A. Pace, whose work along education
al lines has been recognized and hon
ored by Rome and Leipzig. He has
charge of the psychology classes.
Both academic and professional sub
jects are taught and In the schoois cur
rculum modern and ancient languages,
science, literature, philosophy. history
and library courses are included. Time
is also given to art and music for the
benefit of large number Of sisters who
are called upon to teach these branches
in their everyday work. While the &C
tual research work is given most careful
consideration, yet, withal 1t is the meth
DDS and means of presentation that are
dwelt on with greater emphasis. In con-
trast to the former grind work that was
severe test on pupils and teachers
alike. the awakening of the child's inter-
est in study so that he will desire to
investigate and continue further Is ex-
pounded and the inductive methods OF
presenting sciences in the more advanced
grades set forth by teachers of real
knowledge and experience. Above all.
the modern idea in classes of young or
old is strongly brought QUITO lead the
pupil through love and sympathy
rather than by harsh words and cruel
puniShments.
All the studies taught are Of the col
1egiate grade and those who successfully
pass examinations at the close OF the
term are given points that count toward
a degree. The sisters who have credits
from other institutions are given recog-
milton and many have done sufhcient
work already to receive a degree at the
university. Heretofore the term has been
for six weeks each season. but 1t is the
aim of those in charge to make this sis
ters' college a regular department In the
future.
Fifty-seven acres adjoining the college
grounds have been purchased for this
purpose and plans for the various build
ings drawn up. Last fall while in Rome.
the rector, Rev. Thomas Shahan. talked
of the work and submitted the plans TO
the Pope, who heartily Endorsed them.
AS soon as the necessary funds are raised.
the study halls will be erected by the
university, while the cottages to accom-
modate the sisters will be built at the
expense of the different orders. When
finally perfected such course will not only
vouch for the preparation Of the teach
ing sisters, but it will also centraiize the

in the outside world. A few have sue
ceeded in doing this by attending sum
mer sessions at the different colleges OF
the country, but often it was work ac-
complished under difficulty and embar-
rassment to those concerned. others
have been unable to leave their own
communities, and as a consequence hau
to gain the desired knowledge through
books and in similar abstract ways. With
the present system the teaching sisters
can find the help especially needed In
their own classes without serious inter
ference to their regular duties ana rules

conditions there are ideal for a school of
this kind. The eight buildings which con-
stitute the university are stately struc-

grounds at pleasing intervals. The entire
group of so many different styles of
architecture is so artistically arranged

In the numerous regattas given during

a large crowd to applaud the efforts OF

and at present the members are working
energetically for the larger one that
