Turkey Trots Explained.

In the sudden and widespread popularity Of
eccentric and more less violent dancing the
New York Medical Times sees a phenomenon
closely analogous to those dancing rnanias of
the middle ages which have been so often dis
cussed by psychiatrists, alienists and neurolo-
gists. The impulse to "trot" In raetime it views
the, symptom of distinctly contagious
disease to which the victims of neurotic
diathess are ptible. and the diathess itself

various social conditions of pathological char
iacter. The influence of peculiar music, com
Ibined with a naive determination to be amused
starts up the motor reactions in the new
dances to which large and specially sensitized
class in several countries has suddenly devoted
so much of its time and energy. For the
scientific observer they beautifully illustrated
the psychology of crowds formulated by lie

REV. WILLIAM SALE

KENTUCKY.

After filing the pastorate success
fully for three years, Rev. William c.
Sale rendered his resignation to the
rial Baptist church at the regular
service yesterday morning He Will
leave in few days to do evangelistfc
work In Kentucky. having accepted
n call from the mission board of that
State.
This is the second time Mr.. Sale
has resigned this passionate, he hav-
ing reconsidered his previous de-
cision at the request OF the congre-
CATION. When mem ers OF the
church learned through The Virginian
last Thursday morning that Mr.. Sale
had accented the call to Kentucky
and would sever his connection with
the local church. a number OF the
members waited upon him that night
and petitioned him to reconsider.
However, this decision was final and
he made the formal announce nent
to the congregation yesterday, The
resignation was received with reluc-
lance.
After graduating from the academy

The Propaganda of Peace.

If all advocates of peace sturdily
hopeful as Mr.. Carnegie it is inevitable that
the cause would make faster progress. In his
hands the propaganda is not mere crying out
aEains: the horror of wa and Its inadequacy
means of settling diaagreements. He Is
always ready with bold proposal to ex-
tend its territory. This is not TO say that there
is any likelihood of a triple entente between
Germany England and The United States: nor
is this exactly what the former ironmaster pro-
posed at the ceremony at The Hague yes
terday. But the net result Of such suggestions
from who has demonstrated his prac-
teal ebility to hold his in keen business
competition Is the continual forcing of public
ttention to the terrible crime that great war
between any of these nations would be. Mr..
Carnegie is Scotsman and he candily says
the incest things he think of about the Ger
man emperor. Between these two men, at
least "a war Is unthinkable. Why, then, must
there be any tension between their respective
countries? He is American, and so is in
the happy position of being able to comment
upon European affairs without any suspicion
of prejudice. And not of least interest Is the
fact that in this personal preaching of the
gospel of peace his millions count indirectly in

Rolling Stock Bill Helps Counties.

The fruits of Senator Vests rolling stock bill
being shown in the estimate of State
Auditor c. Lee Moore. The bill was drafted
and put through the legislature of 1912 by Col
onel j. T. West Of Suffolk the fearless and
progressive senator from this. the Thirtieth
State senatorial district. Briefly stated, the bill

erty values, in the counties and cities through
whcR they run, instead of all taxes on rolling
stock being paid into the treasury of the city

railroad is contained That the passage of this
bill, Which WIS not only effectively championed
by Senator West but also supported by Dele
gates Balm of Southampton Brewer of Nanse-

A Popular Composer.

Michael Maybrick, the English composer, who
wrote under the name of stephen Adams has
just passed away He did not belong to the
mighty singers who live forever in the worlds
memory, but he lived in the hearts and minds
of ,nnuraerable men and women OF his genera
ton and came closer to them than many of the
immor:as. His Holy City swept like small
tidal CT melody over the civilized world
and Nancy &C." THE Star of Bethlehem, "a
Warrior Reid, THE Blue Alsatian Mountains
and the 'Midshpmite' captured the popular
fancy and the popular ear. There is, indeed. a
penalty in being too popular. and THE Holy
City at time got the musical nerves
of a long-suffering public that most of us felt
like lynching the man who started 1t. But, after
the natural reaction from overindulgence came
the return of wholesome appreciation and en-
ioyment and the name of the composer now
stands for more than that of the author of a
merely popular musical craze. 1t suggests a
certain tenderness and sincerity of sentiment to
which all hearts vibrate more or less, and CAV,
a sort of household interest to the unknown
singer across the seas-Baltimore Sun.

partments, receiving the bachelor of
arts degree in 1893, and his doctor of

Robert n Bell of the we'll known law
firm of Allen and Bell, is native of
Cherokee county. Ala. having been
born on farm near Guntersville, on
November II. 1862 His early life was
spent in that section and after gradu-
ating from the law school of the Uni
versity of Alabama, he practiced his
chosen profession at Guntersville for
about six years. During this period he
was associated with his father-in-law,
the late Solomon Parker. He was very
prominent in democratic affairs In that
section during this period. and Tor
time was editor of the Guntersviiie
Democrat
Although Mr.. Bell was raised on Q
farm, he did not show a great interest
in agricultural work during his early
years. He admits, himself, that he
would rather hunt than work, and tnat
he was much more interested In his ia W
work and politics than in affairs OF the
farm. However, he has shown his love
for the country in many ways since.
and has for a number Of years owned
one of the best farms In the state.
In 1900 Mr.. Bell moved to Birming-
ham and since that time has taken an
active but impersonal part in the politi-
cal life of jefferson county, and has Tor
number of years been chairman OF
the democratic executive committee. He
was also appointed judge Of the city
court, which position. however. he re-
signed to resume his law practice.
During the years of his practice In
this city Mr.. Bell has had more murder
cases than any other attorney practice
ing at the local bar. and during his en-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

tire career, no client of his has ever
been hanged. His practice, however,
has not been confined to this class of
cases, and he has handled many of the
largest civil suits that have come be-
fore the local courts.
Mr.. Bell is especially Interested in
the breeding of high class stock, and
he has one of the best herds of register
ed Jerseys to be found in Alabama.
There are few more public spirited or
liberal men in jefferson county than Mr..
Bell. He Is generally found on the right
side of every public question: and there
is never a movement to come up in
which public spirited men are needed in
which he is not represented. Modesty
is one of his most enduring traits, and
while always taking a deep interest in
movements of this character, he never
forces his way to the view of the public,
or attempts to take any share of the
honors.
Judge Bell is recognized by both
bench and bar as a man of profound
legal learning. and by all who know
him as skilled and successful advo-
cate.
