PATRON TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION MEETS
HAS An INTERESTING PROGRAM
Important Matters Regarding
Welfare Of Children Dis
cussed by Miss Ward
and Mrs. Ogden

The meeting of the Patron
Teachers Association held at the
Barrow Memorial school on Fri
day afternoon was opened by
scripture reading and prayer,
Miss Ward of the Industrial
Institute and College discussed
the pupils lunch basket. She
gave authority on the fact that
80 per cent of the infants born
are physically perfect and stated
that one of the chief duties of
a mother should be to study the
classes of food and meet the
needs of the growing child. In
the past it was thought that any
thing thrown together in any
manner would answer for a
child's lunch. Now we know
the lunch should be palatable,
nourishing and attractive in ap-
pearance. The paper napkins
now put on the market simplify
the third characteristic.
Mrs. Ogden of Atlanta, so well
known in Columbus as Miss Grace
Augusta Cox. addressed the as.
sembly on the Rearing of Our
Children" She presented the
ideas that the child who had
mastered self-control is ready
for life; that the mother who
wishes to control the child must
first control self; that we punish
often for the result instead o1
looking to the motive which
prompts the action. She appeal
ed to the mothers to make ar
effort to adjust all matters fairly
-snnarelv aAd ;nstlsr m the -ehilt
and not to leave the sacred duty
of teaching self-knowledge t
others than themselves.
The business portion of the
meeting was devoted to arrange
ments for the "Rummage Sale
to be held on December 14th.
The emergency outfit has beel
! installed and was inspected b,
the association.

CIRCUIT COURT WILL
BEGIN MONDAY WEEK
TERM IS FOR CIVIL BUSINESS
No Grand Jury viii be Impan-
eled, but Criminal Cases in
Which indictments Pend
Can Be Tried

With Judge Thomas B. Car
roll presiding. the fall term of
circuit court will convene on
Monday. November 18th. just
one week from tomorrow.
The term is principally for the
transaction of civil business. and
no grand jury will be impaneled,
but under the law criminal
cases in which indictments have
already been returned can come
up for trial. While there are sew
eral cases of this kind await
ing adjudication. none of them
are of great Importance. and it
is probable that some of these
cases will be mol pressed.
An important case on the CIV
il docket is that of Coleman Book
er Carlisle, who through his
father and next friend, Rev. w.
c. Carlisle. is suing the Colum-
bus Railway, Light and Power
Company for $4,000. 1t will be
remembered that about a year
ago young Carlisle was run over
by a trolley car operated by the
defendant company and sustain.
ed injuries necessitating the am.
pupation of both his lower limbs,
thus making him a cripple for
life. The case was dockted to
come up at the September ses.
sion of court, but was continued
until the November term.
! Another import tant case is thai
in which Mrs. Ruby Parish Jones
seeks to recover from the South
ern Railway in Mississippi dam
ages in the sum of $4,000 fol
the death of her late husband
Mr.. Graham Jones. who lost hi,
life in a wreck near MoreheaC
last April.
There are numerous othe
cases to come up for trial, an,
court will probably be in session
two weeks, which is the extrem,
duration of the term aslfxed b.
the statutes.

D. m. and went Immediately Ia
the court house. where, after,
a liscense had been Sc
cured from Circuit Clerk Gunter,
the nuptial knot was tied. The

Mr.. Evans is engaged in mining
operations in Birmingham, and

GIRLS GAN NO LONGER
hItdO THE AIM.
RECENT STRIKE IS THE CAUSE
Those Nov in Attendance Can
Finish Out Present Session.
but No Others viii
Be Taken

AS a result Of the students
strike at the A. & NJ. College no
more young ladies will be permit
ted to attend that institution.
The board of trustees has passed
an order providing that those
already enrolled will be permitted
to finish their courses, but no
others will be taken, and at the
close of the present session the
college will cease to be a eo-edu-- :
cational institution.
Four of the young ladies' whose
names have not appeared in the
newspapers are pursuing their
studies at the college. 1t ap-
pears that they were not mixed
up in the strike in anyway, hav-
ing declined to uphold the male
students in their beligerent
course.
1t seems that the most obstrep-
urous of the seniors thought
they could enter any other in
stitution of learning in the coun-
try. When the trouble first
broke out, one wired the Univer-
sity of Texas with reference to
admission of several of the insur-
rectionists. In reply he received
a message that they could come
over. A later message stated.
however, that the president was
mot aware of the trouble at the
A. & NJ, but since learning of
this trouble declared that those
who entered would have to bring
proper certificates of withdrawal
from the Stark9ille institution.
Accordingly, a special SEM out
from Starkville. a member of the
faculty declares that no coercion
was used to induce the young
lady students to attach their sig-
natures to a paper declaring that
they were not in sympathy with
the strike.
The same special also states
that President Hightower is in
receipt of many applications
. from seniors for reinstatement.
; The faculty expects to take these
applications up separately, and
} will pass on them as soon as
} possible. The commandant is
recognizing the battalion as
: best as he can, using Juniors to
fill the offices vacated by the de-
parted seniors. 1t is possible
that some of the seniors will gel
back their offices upon reinstate.
ment, but no promises to that
effect are being made.

FAIR STOCKHOLDERS
TO MEET WEDNESDAY
MEMBERS UUGED TO ATTEND
Gathering will be Very Import
ant. as Future Of Association
Depends Largely on the
Outcome

The annual meeting Of the
stockholders of the Mississippi
and West Alabama Fair Asso-
citation will be held at the court
house at 1890 O'Clock next Wed.
nesday morning. and it is inn
portant that every stockholder
be present. as whether or not
the association will continue in
existence and hold fairs each fall
depends largely upon the out
come of this meeting.
1t is especially important that
local merchants and business
men who are stock holders be
present. In the past the peo-
pie of Columbus have not evinced
as much interest as they should
in the fairs, the association hav-
ing been compelled to rely large
ly upon the farmers residing in
rural districts for support. The
directors are very anxious for
Columbians to join with their
brethren from the country in an
effort to perpetuate The organi-
zation, and if this is done its fu-
ture success is assured.
The directors want more locaI
exhibits. They want more ad.
vertising from merchants in the
annual catalogue and more locaI
patronage. In other words they
want the people to evince more
interest in the association and dC
more to make the annual fair:
successful.
All stockholders who possibly
can should attend the meeting
and those who can not be presen
should send written proxies.

HEROIC HERSDOY GIVES Up
MS LIFE TO SAVE GIRL
William Rash too Weak to Stand
Loss Of Blood Used TO Save
The Life Of Another

Alt wan btity q hNWono9 @Aha .
cripple. but fifteen thousand peo-
pie attended his funeral at Gary.
Ind. last Sunday. His body lay in
state, and brave men and noble
women wept as they passed by
his bier and looked upon the
wasted little body there.
1t was the body Of William Rugh,
the newsboy. who recently offer
ed his cripple leg as sacrifice so
that a young lady, badly burned
in a motorcycle accident, might
live. The boys leg was amputa-
ted, and the cuticle grated on
the limbs Of the young lady. She
lived. thank God. for an heroic
act like that should have some
reward; but the boy caught cold
in the hospital and died.
There was no sentiment con-
nected with the case. The boy
and the girl had never seen
each other. Their paths had
never met or crossed in life. She
had never been the beautiful lady
who stopped to buy a paper from
him now and then and give him
a helpful smile that cheered him
the live long day. He had never
looked up from his humble sta
ton to her high estate and felt
his heart go out in raptuous love
to her. There was nothing of
self emulation or selfshness of
any sort in his act when he heard
of the accident and the young
girls need, and went to the sur
geon and said, "You may have
my lame leg; it is not worth
much to me, anyway; | can get
along-witbout it by using two
crutches instead of one." And
he did not blanch when they
told him the danger of it; how,
being frail of body and weak Of
constitution he might not sur.
vive the shock. That's al
right" ne said: "if it will save
her life | will take the chance.
But greater still was his couragt
when the operation was over
and the ether had played hin
false and pneumonia had set il
and they told him he could no
live. The dauntless courage OF
his brave heart shone brightest
and the real heroism of his natur,
reached it's highest when he said
Il am not glad todie, but | an
not sorry for what | have done
if only she lives. And whel
told that she would live, ant
that from the living cuticles o
his crippled leg her limbs woul'
grow we'll and strong again, h
smiled and said, II am glad

vice to the world. and now | ar

/. smile of content yet lingerin
upon his face. he passed out @

LAST STATEMENT
IS MADE BY TEDDY
SCORES REPUBLICAN LEADERS
AN DREFUsEs TO PARTtcE
PATE IN CONVENTION.

Chicago, June 22.-After making
preliminary arrangements for the cr-
ganization of a new party, Colonel
Roosevelt today definitely severed his
relations with the republican rational
convention.
In statement setting forth his po-
sition in this regard he said that
since the convention had declined to
remove the delegates who he con-
tends are fraudulent, he could not
recognize it's authority. He urged his
delegates to refrain from voting in
the convention, although stating that
in case they did vote he could not
free them from the obligation tc cast
their ballots for him.
1t was decided definitely this after
noon that before the adjournment of
the convention, or Immediately after,
there would be held a meeting of the
Roosevelt delegates who wish to en-
list in the new party.
Delegates Met Roosevelt.
Roosevelt steam roller delegates
and their alternates who were eAclud-
ed from the convention, met Colonel
Roosevelt in a body. The colonel
held brief recession, informed them
that the plans for new party were
being pushed forward rapidly, and
urged them to stand firm. 1t was
his first intention to meet ttem by
state delegations. but they collected
SO rapidly in the corridor near his
office that it was de3ided to marshal
them all into the Roosevelt Lational
committees assembly hall at one
time
Colonel Roosevelt at 1890 issued
this statement:
"A clear majority of the delegates
honestly elected to this convention
were chosen by the people to nomi-
nate me. Under the direction and
with the encouragement of Mr.. Taft,
the majority of the national commit
tee, by the so-caIled steam roller
methods, and with scandalous cisre-
gard of every principle of elementary
