DR. W. 5. CURRELL IS AN INTERESTING AND UNUSUAL EDUCATOR Interesting Sidelights On Character of Univer-
 sity's President HAS INEHAUSTIBLE
 FUND OF ANECDOTE Told Some of His Best With the Art of the True Raconteur At Uni versity-Conferring of Degree
 Arouses Enthusiasm
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Dr. W. S. Currell, president of the Uni versity of South Carolina who delivered the baccalaureate address at the univer- sity of Alabama, Wednesday, and who last night spoke to the graduating stu dents of the Birmingham High school, is according to his own statement, suffering the effects of "commencementitis' The statement that for more than 20 years he has been called upon to deliver com. mencement addresses, will tend to explain the nature of the malady.
 Dr. Currell is the exception which proves dozen rules. For instance, ir Tuscaloosa Wednesday morning, re- porter asked for the manuscript of the address he was to deliver before the graduating class. He said, first of all that he had no manuscript. And ther he added:
 But let this fact not disturb you Ant do not suffer yourself to be bored bs hearing me. Simply write for your paper. that 'Dr. Currell delivered a scholarly ad dress, the features of which were illus trated with stories apt and well told. But you fellows know how to do it. Jus go ahead"
 And, it is a matter of record that whil, the reporters did hear his address an( did agree among themselves that it wa. one of the best ever delivered in Tusca. loosa, they did not attempt to publish an analytical summary of what was said but contented themselves with declaring that it was scholarly and illustrated with numerous humorous anecdotes
 The president of the University of Soutf Carolina is the father of eight children all of whom are girls. When the sev enth was born Dr. Currel was leased b, his friends. and to some extent by those who were mere acquaintances. When th' eighth was born. the doctor prepared himself for the worst.
 On the happy morning he appeared or the streets, his countenance lighted by 2 smile which he had for the purpose il hand assumed Very soon he encoun tered the village wag, and in order tha he exclaimed:
 ''Oh, my friend. you have heard tn, news, It is certainly a gala day.''
 The wit in question. with a smile o amusement. eyed the good man for a mo ment in silence and then he said
 Well, doctor, it is perhaps a Sals day, but with you it is certainly a gal-s year."
 Some years ago. as is known, ths Legislature of South Carolina enacted among other typical South Carolina legislation a law which drove from thu schools under the Jurisdiction of th' state all Greek letter fraternities. The student who following the enactmen of that legislation, failed to renounc' allegiance to the fraternity, the ten cts of which he had sworn faithfully to observe, subjected himself to tn probability of dismissal. Naturally however. the fraternities continued t exist which served to illustrate tn impetency of legislature which at tempts to infringe on the natural pre- rogative of the average individual. Tn

Steel corporation planned to build an extensive mill for the manufac- ture of finished steel products and as I understand it the suits bending in the United States courts deterred the corporation from the construction of these plants for the time being. 1 look for the plans of the Steel corpor ation as reported to be fully car lied out now that the case is de- c;ded and that at an early date the finished product plants will be constructed.

They felt that the decision would mean much for Birmingham in a bus mess way and predicted new era of activity and expansion here.

Old Registration System.

The papyri of the Roman period have
conclusively proved that registration
of land already existed in highly
elaborate form, and that 1t was insti-
tuted not only in the interests of the
state. but also some think even pri-
marily-in the interests of private in
dividuals. That point comes out clear
" in an important edict of first-cen-
fury project, who ordains that con-
tracts affecting real property were not
to be drawn up without due authorize
ton from the keepers of the public
archives. These officials had to keep
the registers up to date, entering in
them all mortgages and other charges,
as well as changes of ownership, and
they were thus enabled to protect an
intending purchaser from oversights
and frauds.-New York Press.

Mo Task for Tvros.

One Of the men at the front has told
us how he tried to milk a cow-with-
out the expected result. This is not
an easy task for an Impractical hand.
Leslie Stephen was once on long
tramp in Switzerland, accompanied
by his friend, Doctor Morgan. They
missed their way and found them
selves, parched and hungry, far from
any dwelling place. At length they
came across COW, from whom they
determined to extract some nourish-
ment, but after trying their best for an
hour, each holding on to her horns in
turn, they had to abandon all hopes
of milk This, remarks Doctor Nor
gan, is zone of the very few occasions
on which / ever saw Stephen fairly
thwarted."

Ancient Corn Mills.

These peculiar rock formations are
hand made-the most ancient of grist
mills for grinding American corn.
They have been used by the Navajo
Indians of Arizona from time imme.
mortal up to within a comparatively
few years. There are IS to 40 of them
in the group, the lava rock in which
they have been cut being especially
favorable for grinding purposes.
The Navajos, unlike their more war
like neighbors, the Apaches, have been
for the past 200 years pastoral and
industrial race of Indians, cultivating
large acreages of grain and an entire
tribe was wont to repair to these NOR
tars near Sulphur Springs, where the
squaws would spend several days max
ing meal. Some of the old hangers
on at Sulphur Springs say that years
ago there were many pestles or grind
ing stones lying around the mill, :"
but these have all been taken away
by travellers as curiosities.

THOUGHT and Action.

We build from within, outward, but
the outward growth also sends down
its roots within. We act according to
the thoughts we cherish, and yet it is
true that our actions have their re-

you wish to be brave and unselfish?
Compel yourself to act as if you

be temperate and Kind in your judg-

of that order and a like habit of
