people In this world-those
who do something and those
who do nothing.
OF those who do something we have
two divisions-those who do something
good and those who do something bad.
Once upon a time l saw a great en-
CINE back uphill. At the top of the
hill was a wreck, and 1t bumped into
that wreck and derailed the train and
injured several persons. In a short
time another engine pulled headfore-
most up that same hill, bringing re-
lief to those who backed up.
Now, each engine used the same
amount of steam to climb the hill. The
engines were of the same pattern and
one as valuable as the other. Each
engine had on brakes. whistles and
bell. Each was run by an engineer,
and each had a fireman who shoveled
fuel into great lreboXes.
The only difference was that one
backed up and one went forward.
So with people who do things. All
have the steam of purpose, but those
who do bad things have their steam in
the wrong valve.
Now, this Achievement movement is
first for the boys and girls who do
good things. These can make it so
popular that many who are doing the
useless things will want to join.
This department of Youth Achieve
ment is not only to recognize the boy
and girl who have done things, but also
to get thousands of boys and girls, in
terested enough in themselves and de-
string to Know what kind of men and
women they are to become, to do some
thing worth while.
l am proud to be the head of a ma
tional movement which intends to
make it possible for every boy and girl
who achieves to be known above those
who do nothing.
We will have on file in the national
Office the name of every boy and girl
who achieves sufficient to have one or
more certificates. Suppose a boy has
achievements in electrical work. He
desires a position. He can notify the
national office or even his school prin-
cipal, and word will be sent to the
headquarters, and this boys name and
achievements will be sent to various
firms In the city or cities where the
boy desires employment.
President Wilson talked to a lot Of
Achievement boys who toured the
world. He presented to them a flag
He has given a great message to the
boys and girls of America. This mes
sage is, Achievement has come to be
the only patent Of nobility in the mod
ern world"
A boy with $40 in the bank, which
money he made by his own efforts, is
of a capitalist In the Achievement
crowd than the boy who has $1,000 In
the bank placed there by his parents.
If either of these boys becomes the
president of the bank later l will bet
on the ten dollar boy.
BY and by We will call upon the boys

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Through the heart agony of the civil war and trying scenes of the recon. struction days, and the burden of the after years. throughout her long pill grimage, she was always the same cheerful, practical, hopeful and help ful Mother in Israel" one of her noblest traits was that she never spoke III of people-always tried to throw osl upon troubled waters. She was one Of that number described by the Mas ter as especially blessed-"the peace- makers" She will ever be remembered as ministering angel to the suffer Ing and afflicted in life and for her tender ministrations to the dying.
 In all the relations of life. as wife mother, grandmother, friend and church member she was faithful. con- scientious. loyal and true; and in her whole life she reflected the tender grace of day that is dead"-when chivalry of knighthood and the gentle indefinable grace and womanliness of the south, with its hallowed traditions of all that is sweetest, kindest and most lovable in man or woman. shone at its height with the halo of ante- bellum days.
 As gentle zephyr waited from Paradise, she breathed upon us all a sweet spirit of love and peace: and when she passed to that rest that remaineth to the people of God" she left a benediction upon her commun- fly In the beautiful example of a saint ly life, and she left void in the hearts or her friends that cannot be filled. Ana her death was like her life calm and peaceful. as some stately ship with sails full set, that victoriously weathering the storm, after long voyage makes the haven of promise at last, in safety and peace
 she leaves a son and daughter, Henry Forney of California, and Mrs. Sarah Forney Caldwell of Jacksonville: seven grandchildren. Mrs. J. Knox Fleming of Birmingham. Mrs. Carl Lay and Mrs. Kyle Elliott of Gadsden. John Caldwell and Misses Kate, Amelia and Avery Caldwell of Jacksonville, to- gether with a host of friends to mourn her loss and cherish her memory and strive to emulate her example. The impressive funeral service was held at St. Lukes Episcopal church at 10:s0 a. m, Saturday. A profusion of beau tiful flowers attested her many de- voted friends. W. T. ALLEN, Rector of St. Luke's Church Jacksonville, June 26, 1915.

CLABAUGH IN BIZ
 SCRAP IN CHICAGO.
Former Birmingham Boy Has Trouble With Alleged
 Servian Soldiers

Hinton c. Clabaugh, chief of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice, had lively time in Chicago Fri day night with Servians en route to Can ada to join the English forces. Clabaugh will be remembered as a former Birming- ham boy who became prominent through his prosecution of the Southern Whole sale Grocers' association. He is a brother of s. F. Clabaugh, postmaster at Tus- caloosa, The Chicago Tribune, after an- nouncing the receipt by the police of a riot call, continues:
 Three patrol wagons loaded with re- serves swooped down on the Polk street station. Six coaches standing on track under the train shed were in an uproar Twenty inspectors working under Hinton c. Clabaugh chief of the bureau of in- vestigation of the department of justice were having the battle of their lives.
 ''The coaches were fairly bursting with shriekng. gesticulating, struggling Ser vians. They fell over each other in the asles, battled with each other to reach the doors, climbed and fell through the windows, and sprawled over the plat forms.
 'rhey picked themselves up to leap on the United States deputy marshals like so many rats. Some of the marshals were knocked down and the men swarmed over on top of them.
 Then the police waded in They used their clubs right and left, beating the men slowly back into the cars. Five of the travellers, more belligerent than the rest, were collared and hustled into the patrol wagon to be driven to cells. Finally the police restored a semblance of order and then learned where the invading army had come from.
 The travellers came from Pittsburg over the Wabash and were on their way to Canada to take boat for England They claimed to be reservists of the Servian army, but Chief Clabaugh received word that many of them were not.
 Accordingly, when the coaches rolled into the Polk street station at $50. 20 deputy marshals were on hand to make the proper investigation. The coaches were uncoupled from the engine and the deputies started through the cars.
 Instantly there was an uproar. They leaped upon the marshals with yells that would have made the blood of the Aus trian army curdle. They showed some of the deputies out of the cars and then followed up their advantage
 "A second riot broke out when Deputy Marshal John H. Anderson put handcuffs on one of the men who refused to answer questions. The Servians got him down but the police waded in and rescued him.
 Chief Clabaugh who also questioned the men, was unable to find any evidence to contradict the denial of the men that they had enlisted Federal officials in New York, however, were informed by wire to be on the lookout for the crowd. When the squad arrived there they were taken into custody and after a severe grillng the men were ordered held for return to San Francisco
 None of the deputies or officers was seriously injured

CARRANZA OFFICIALS
 PLEASED AT ARREST

'The detention of Victoriano Huerta. Orozco and their accomplices at Fl Paso Is an act of justice the part of the United States government. The maze of machination conducted in secrecy against the peace of Mexico by well-known dictionaries has eliminated in this at- tempt at naugurating a counter revo- lution. It gives President Wilson's ad- ministration an opportunity to express definitely it's adherence to the principles of liberal and democratic government as opposed to the government of the reac- tionary element. It has frustrated a sedi- tious plot.
 "Huertas aims are not the betterment of the Mexican people but the gratifica- ton of his own selfish ends. His move- ment Is headed by the same man who bears the guilt of the murders of Presi- dent Madero and Vice President Pino Saurez"
 Enrique c. Llorente, Washington agent of General Villa, also declared his grati- fication that General Huerta had been detained and reiterated that General An geles was on friendly terms with Villa and would return to the field after com pleting a military mission to the United States.
 While future steps in the policy which President Wilson is formulating for a solution of the Mexican problem will not be decided until his return from Cornish. N. H., diplomatists familiar with the sit uation took the view that the Washington government was unwilling In any event uality to permit General Huerta and his associates to return to Mexican soil through American territory.

DESPERATE NEGRO
 IS AGAIN IN TOLLS

opelika. June 27.-(Special )-Pomp Dickerson, the negro who made a dur ing and sensational escape from the Lee county jail early last Monday morning by the use of wooden keys which he fashioned with a pen knife, was re- captured this morning at 5:30 o'clock by Deputy Sheriff Tobe Betts, Chief of Police Buck Jones and posse of oiti- zens about five miles west of this place at the home of Mitchell Merchant, who was harboring him. By a piece of clever detective work the escaped man had been located at the home of the Mer- chant negro but taking him without the loss of life was another question, as he was known to be armed and des- perate.
