MORALITY

By Matthew Arnold. We cannot kindle when we will The fire which in the heart resides; The spirit bloweth and is still, In mystery our soul abides. But tasks in hours of insigt willed Can be through hours of gloom full
 filled. We dig and heap, lay stone on stone; With aching hands and bleeding feet We bear the burden and the heat Of the long day, and wish 'twere done Not till the hours of light return. All we have built do we discern. Then, when the clouds are off the soul, When thou dost basl in Natures eye, Ask, how she viewed thy self-control, Thy struggling, tasked morality Nature, whose free, light, cheerful air, Oft made thee, in thy gloom, despair. And she, whose answer thou dost dread, Whose eye thou vast afraid to seek. See, on her face a glow is spread A strong emotion on her cheek! "Ah. child" she cries. that strife dis Whence was it. for it is not mine? There is no effort on my brow do not strive, do not weep; rush with the swift spheres and glow In loy, and when will, I sleep. Yet that severe. that earnest air, saw. felt it once-but where?
 
 II knew not yet the gauge of time. Nor wore the manacles of space; felt it in some other cline, l saw it in some other place. Twas when the heavenly house trod, And lay upon the breast of God"

Handicap Not Too Great

"We should be able to get along," said Judge William E. Fort, 'even with the handicap of having only 100 jurors during the capital week under the con- solidated court bill. My idea is that all the judges of the circuit court in that week should attend only to crim- inal work.
 "The consolidated court bill is a very complicated affair but the matter of having only 100 jurors during capital docket week cannot be placed at the door of the legislature. The legisla- ture did pass jury bill which would have obviated all the difficulties at present anticipated. but it was vetoed If the jury bill had become a law un- doubtedly many of the handicaps of the consolidated court bill would have been removed. However, we will all get to- gether and the judiciary will adjust itself to the new conditions as they come"

The AImon yindication

James H. Pride of Huntsville, mem Der of the state senate, spent yester- day in Birmingham. He was returning home after having visited Montgomery for the purpose of aiding in the de- fense of D. c. Almon, solicitor of the Eighth judicial circuit, who was the central and defendant figure in i'm peachment proceedings before the su- preme court.
 "The state failed to make out a case, said Senator Pride. "On practically ev. cry charge. important and sunimport. ant, Almon was vindicated. And ii must have made his heart glad to note the coterie of friends gathered about him-friends who made no effort to restrain their enthusiasm when the verdict of acquittal was rendered.
 Practically the solid bar of his cir cult lined up behind him and the au- dience was impressive in its number and it's personnel"

HOTEL LOBRIES
Can Alabama Minf

Hugo Friedmand, prominent business
 man of Tuscaloosa, passed through Bir- mingham yesterday en route to Atlanta, where this afternoon the football teams of the University of Alabama and Georgia l School of Technology clash in their an- nual gridiron classic.
 1 There is no question" said Mir Fried
 man, ''but that Alabama has the strong est team it has sent on the field ir years. But for the fact that Coach Kelly was very ill, Alabama would have de- feated Sewanee overwhelmingly. The vic
 tory scored over Sewanee was very i'm
 pressive, despite the handicap, and nat
 urally had happy effect on the sp,r,l
 of the team.
 The boys feel confident that they will
 be able to defeat Tech Confidence goes a long way towards achieving results especially when confidence is upholstered by strength and determination We de- feated Tech last season. I predict that We will repeat the feat. However, Tech
 is strong, and visitors generally suffer a handicap when they attempt to take hon. orS in Atlanta" '"

Killing Frost Desired

There are many men in Alabama who are awaiting impatiently the first killing frost, said P. A. Stuart of Wetumpka, visitor to Birmingham yesterday. For, as is generally known, until frost heavy enough to kill the undergrowth comes, dogs, only with considerable difficulty, can locate the game little quail
 Although the hunting season opened November l, few men in the state have actually hunted Some very probably have strolled out in the afternoons But on account of the temperature and the difficulty under which dogs would have to work, no real hunt of the all-day, serious variety has been undertaken
 In our section birds are numerous this season, and the reports we gather in- dfcate that every other section is similarly blessed. There will be rare sport, when the weather gets cold"

'The Alabama Democrat the state wide weekly newspaper which will make its first appearance in Mont gomery. November 1S," said Walter Williams of Calera, a visitor to Bir- mingham yesterday, twill, in all proba- bility, be a splendid paper.
 "The president of the company is John OConnell-or Jack, as the boys call him-who for years was an ac- tive editor on the staffs of the Mobile Register and Mobile Item.

Johns in Monteomerx

Wallace Johns, well known resident of Birmingham, has just returned from st visit to Montgomery.
 q had a great time,' he said. "Ev- erybody in Alabama is prone to ridi- cule the big town on the river. but I always enjoy spending a day or more in the capital. The people are hospitable and delight in making the stranger welcome--in showing him a good timo.
 Mrs. John and I made the trip in the automobile, and found the roads good. Between Birmingham and Mont gomery the farmers appear prosperous flor it is wondrous what effect high priced cotton can have. In Montgomery peace reigns and has reigned since the legislature completed its work. Busi- ness men report times good"

Misuse of Word

Has anyone observed the growing mis- use of the word accomplishment by cur rent writers? I have been aggravated frequently by stumbling upon it and being compelled to stop and ask myself what the writer meant" said pr. George Eaves, The established meaning is limited to the sense it bears in such phrase as, a young lady of many accomplishments.
 But the use of the word in the sense of
 achievement Is surely a growing and unnecessary evil. It leads to confusion when we read the question, What has been this mans accomplishment? When
 Ne enquiry means, What has he accom-
 plished?' The perfectly sufficient word
 achievement is still available, and the other is being overloaded. Well known
 authors and magazine writers, as we'll
 as journalists and public speakers are helping the nefarious habit to grow. The misuse of the word is no accomplish
 ment nor is it desirable achievement !"

CANNY SCOT

When electric tramcars first started in his native town canny Scot got on one, intending to make the full journey, cost ing pence. but only took a penny ticket and renewed it twice at the end of each stage. On the last stage the conductor remonstrated with him, saying he ought to have taken out a .3-penny ticket at the beginning of the journey and saved un- necessary trouble.
 Ma, na!' said the Scot. had I dune sac, and yer had broken doom. l micht hae lost thrup-pence, but, as 1t is, canna lose mair than ae penny"

Lady Eglantine

The praises of the American heli have been sung far and wide. Her greatness is undisputed, but just as there are some men whose achieve ments on this mundane stage surpass those of their fellows, so hendom has brought forth Lady Eglantine, the champion egg-layer of the world, a title won by record of 314 eggs in 365 days.
 Lady Eglantine is a White Leghorn, weighing three and half pounds. She completed her year in an egg-lay- ing contest held at Delaware college, Newark, Del, and beat the previous worlds record by comfortable mar gin of 2S eggs. She was also member of a pen of five birds which broke the American pen record by laying 1211 eggs.
 Since the average hen lays only 70 eggs a year, the performance of Lady Eglantine is one to marvel at. It is estimated that if the average barn. yard fowl could be induced to lay 10 more eggs year it would add $40,- 000,000 annually to the wealth of the United States. No wonder the hen is widely acclaimed. Lady Eglantine is in class by herself, but the country is full of industrious Dame Partlets who contribute enormously to the con- fort and prosperity of the nation.

DEED FILED FOR
COOK HOSPITAL
Board of Directors Issue
Statement of Financial
Condition.

A deed fled yesterday with the coun.
ty clerk closes the deal by which the
Cook Hospital was taken over by the
Cook Hospital Company, a new organ
i8atfon which was formedsafter a pub.
lie campaign was waged about a year
ago for funds to save the hospital.
The board of directors, believing
that the public is entitled to a general
statement OF the fund SO generously
donated, has made up a statement
which will give the information that
the effort. to save this institution for
the benefit OF the people has been a
very successful one.
The statement is as follows:
Cash collected to date ....$ 32,545.01
Disbursements:
Paid on Hospital property,
campaign expenses, in
LereSt, etc. 32,69S.35
Overdraft .......-...s....$ 1894
Balance due on Hospital
property secured by lien
on property ............$ 1S.500.0o
Other Indebtedness ....... 3,239.45
Total indebtedness .....S 21,739. As
The balance of the Indebtedness, It
is estimated blythe board of directors,
Is estimated by the board of directors,
subscriptions and the accounts of the
old hospital company which were as.
signed to the new hospital association.
In addition to the real estate the
new organization gets all the personal
property belonging to the hospital,
such as furniture, furnishings. instru-
ments. operating appliances, repre-
senting considerable cash value.
The real estate alone is worth
great deal more than the property
cost the people and could not be du-
plicated for anything like the invest.
ment represented by the subscriptions
that have been put into It, and the
property Is one that will rapidly grow
in value as the city grows. With a
very slight additional expense the
property can be placed in first class
condition and solve the problem OF
Fairmont's hospital needs for many
years to come.
All unpaid subscriptions will be ap-
piled to the Indebtedness against the
property as fast as they are collected
There Is now an urgent need for funds
to apply on the debts and every dollar
paid now saves interest on the bal
ance of the indebtedness All persons
owing accounts to the hospital or ow-
ing subscriptions. or any balance on
subscriptions, will confer a great IA
vor upon this worthy institution by
making payments as soon as 1t is pos
sible to do So All checks should be
made to q. F. Davis, trustee of the
fund.
