Mr.. Silver's most recent effusion in
The Age-Herald is SO Incorporate that
it scarcely calls for comment and were
1t not for the fact that he opens the door
to statements that otherwise we would
have no excuse for making, no further
attention would be paid to his articles.
As 1t is, we welcome this opportunity to
declare our platform; and. Mr.. Silver, 1t
is a matter of platform and not of prize
rings, as you so delicately indicate in the
closing paragraph of your last Sunday $
article.
Now as to the contention that Mr.. Silver
has made himself Inconsistent: First, he
refers to the hazardous straits into which
the Birmingham Associated Charities has
drifted. This. like the balance of Mr..
Silver's statements, is a purely imaginary
condition. AT no time has this organiza-
ton stood so well in the eyes of those
who know its workings, as now. This is
being daily demonstrated in many ways
which it is unnecessary to recapitulate.
We do not feel that the Associated
Charities requires any defense, though
perhaps some explanation of operation;
we do not expect a unanimous agree
ment with our methods nor do we even
expect to avoid making many enemies.
We do, however. expect correct presen-
tation of these methods, our rules and
regulations and the application thereof.
Recently this has not been given and
the columns of The Age-Herald have been
used as fitting ground for reporters to
air fancied grievances, thereby creating
false Impressions OF the status of the
Associated Charities. The statements
made by Mr.. Silver and his allies have
been laughed out of court by a citation
of facts. but that has no weight with

On January 10, 1929. soon after Alabama
became state, a college was opened
under the auspices of the Mississippi
and Tennessee conferences of the Meth
odist church, south, az LAGRANGE, Ala.
This was the first college in the state.
A short history of this college will be In
teresting to those who are at present
looking up tho history of the various
colleges in the state.
The commissioners empowered and in
structed by the two conferences to erect,
equip and set In operation college of
the style and title prescribed, met at La
Grange, Ala, January TO- 1929. and dis
posed of the initial affairs committed to
their hands with promptness and facili-
ty. They selected a site on which to

the college site, that beautiful and COM
manding eminence called Lawrence Hill
was selected by unanimous agreement.

rapidly pushed to completion, the school

at last been disclosed; at first, it was
that tho Associated Charities was not all
1t should be. but now the secretary is
the faulty one because of his personality.
We are glad to get SO near the real COM
plaint, but as matter of fact, the root
Of it all lies still deeper.
Compliment to Make Enemies
Referring again to the personality of
the secretary, which is said to have made
so many enemies for the Associated Char
tiles This is distinct compliment and
the secretary feels that he Is to be cam
graduated that such is the case. He
realizes that he has made enemies and
he hopes that in the future he will make
more, In the same manner that he has
made others in the past. From time to
time he has attacked institutions and
methods that stood as monuments to
mans inhumanity to man." and others
that existed In fragrant disregard of the
city's ordinances. 1t is obvious why these
attacks begot bitter enemies.
