NEGRO SCHOOL IS
 IN URGENT NEED Tuggle Institute Appeals to White Friends for $1100 to
 Meet Pressing Need

|To the Editor of The Age-Herald: We regret exceedingly that it be- |comes necessary for us-to call on you land our other white friends to assist Jus in a struggle for suffering human |ity.
 The Tuggle institute, a negro school, lon Enon Ridge, Birmingham, operated Largely on charity, and from what can |be gathered from a few women lodges |scattered over the state, is in need of |funds for the immediate and necessary comforts of the stringent times. It ap- bears that wet must have this by Oc- |tober 15 $1oo. W
 We are behind some $500 with the Teachers on the last years salary, coal bill aggregating some $14S, necessary repairs on the dormitories, $250 in- terest and notes and other incidental expenses will aggregate a sum to be
 paid immediately of $1100 or more. I can see no way out of the mat ter but to call upon the friends of Christian education and to those par ticularly who have shown an interest ] n the negro race and suffering hu-
 manity to come to our rescue.

assistants should represent public service corporations. In his minority report MD Brindley criticised that provision and stated that 1t was a mistake to single out one branch of the solicitors outside practive and prohibit him rom that branch only. He stated that solicitors should not represent either public service corporations or individuals, but should give their entire time to the state. and that they should be prohibited from prac- ticing law for either corporations or in- dividuals and that an adequate se'ary should be provided. It will be recalled that the bill passed the senate In the form recommended by the joint Judiciary com mittee, but 1t was amended In the house judiciary committee so that the restriction placed on solicitors was taken out and they are allowed to practice law now as formerly and the salary remains the same. It may be interesting to note that every bill which was specifically crit icised in the minority report either failed of massage or was amended in the house so as to remove the features complained of In the minority report.
 During the last days of the session, when the house was struggling with the recircuiting bill, 1t was frequently men tioned that the prophecy made by MT. Brindley when the consolidated court bill was passed had come true. It was fre- ouently stated that his prediction had heen verified and that mistake had been made in not following his sugges- tion

Checks may be made to Oscar w. Adams. prin- cipal Tuggle institute, or Carrie A. Tuggle, respectively

Autobiography of
 Helen Mathers Ready

London. September 25.-(Special.) Helen Mathers," (otherwise Mrs. Henry Reeves). who, at 20, wrote her novel. Coming Through the Rye" and promptly became famous, has prac- tically finished the autobiography upon which she has been at work for over five years. It is called. Phil and l." the Phil being the authoress' son, after whose death she resolved to write no more novels.
 In this autobiography. among other interesting things, Miss Mathers' will tell the full story of how Coming Through the Rye" which, by the way, is likely to be filmed shortly, came to be written. She sold 1t outright for s150, and calculates her loss by this arrangement at about $100,00o, which is not pleasant sum to fling away. It was written at her Somerset home at Misterton, written in secret. and on the backs of envelopes, any odd scraps of paper, pinned together with innumerable pins, as was her GUS tom for years and probably never was manuscript sent to publisher In such an unprepossessing state.
 Some years after its publicatlQn' Mrs. Reeves bought the publication rights in Coming Through the Rye back since when some 400,O00 copies have been sold. In the meantime she has devoted herself, more or less. to philanthropic work among poor boys, in memory of her son, and has also ao- cepted commissions as house deco rator line in which she has marked talent After Coming Through the Rye" she wrote a dozen novels or more, but never quite repeated her first triumph. Perhaps her cleyerest achievement was her racing novel, Tally Ho." Women had written on racing before, but, as rule, only to blunder--badly. "Ouida," for one. made the same horse win tho derby three times. 'Tally Ho." however, brought its author the great compll- ment of long and appreciative re- view in the Sporting Times" in which it was described as the best racing novel ever written by woman. not only for its excellence as story but its technical accuracy and knowl- adge

Telephone Company Withdraws Fran chise Offer-Streets of Decatur Be- coming COngested


 Decatur. October s.-tSpecial.)- )-Therc was light frost here last night. the first of the fall season. No damage was done by the frost. The weather is quite cool here today.
 The Southern Bell Telephone company has withdrawn its offer to accept cer tain franchise by the city of Decatur. The letter of withdrawal of the telephone company was received and filed and there was no discussion. Therefore the tele- phone situation Is back where it started several months ago and the present indi- cations are that the matter of franchises for both Decatur and New Decatur will not be settled at any time soon. The city of Decatur claims that the Southern Bell Telephone company has no franchise and the telephone company claims that they are operating under a contract made with the city some years ago.
 A petition, signed by number of De- catur business men, was presented to the Decatur city council, asking that H. cense of 5000 be placed eon transient par ties who come here and open a business with a fire stock of goods and remain short time and leave This has been done on several occasions in the past and the
 
 deal. The city council instructed the city attorney to draft an ordinance to this effect.
 Henry A Slseggs for many years mayor of Decatur and at the present time United States marshal of this dis- trct of Alabama, has been elected as one of the members of the Decatur pubic school board to take the place of T. M. Jones' who resigned @ short time ago. Mir Jones Is prominent cotton mer- chant in Decatur and vice president of the Jefferson County bank in Birmlng- ham.
 As an evidence of congested streets in Decatur, the city council has ordered a policeman to be stationed in the street in front of the public schoo, building at the noon hour and in the evening when tl,e children are going out of the school for the purpose of stopping the speeding of automobiles by the school house. It was claimed that the running of automobiles by the schoolhouse was getting to be dan zero to the children.
 There was a large gathering of good roads enthusiasts at the New Decatrr city hall last night The Jackson high way was the subject under discussion X large crowd from the two~ Decaturs. Athens and other places were present and a number of rousing speeches were made for the Jackson highway.
