THORNWELL HAYNES

From the High Point (N. O Enterprise.
 If proper consideration and deliber' ation is given the case, city council can secure a successor to Superjnteno- ent Thornwell Haynes. It will be q most difficult task to secure nan to fll MT. Haynes shoes. His going to the Alabama college is distinct loss to High Point.
 Mr. Haynes is high minded, b, oad- -gauged. cultured, Christian gen. tieman He is a personification of 3 southern gentleman-all else that may be said about him would simply be additional and explanatory. He put in to practice and he advocated every- where the putting of first things first.
 The announcement of MT. Haynes ac- ceptanee of the presidency of Birming- ham college created 8 genuine feeling If mixed happiness and sadness among his multitude of friends in this city Without regard to politics or religion education or sex the people generally regret giving MT. Haynes up; but ey- erybody is glad that his talents have been recognized in such a large degree
 To tell of Mf Haynes inspiring and ernobling characteristics. 10 Write ct his accomplishment for good since b. has been in this city would consume 3 volume. But it can be summarized in sentence-"Honor went before him victory followed after"

YOUTH AND AGE

 Which tells me, Youths no longer here! o Youth! for years so many and sweet. 'Tis known that Thou and I were one, I'll think it. but fond conceit- It cannot be, that Thou art gone! Thy vesper-bell hath not yet tolpd; And thou vert aye masker bold What strange disguise hast now put on To make believe that Thou art gone? see these locks in silvery slips, This dropping gait, this alter'd size: But Springtide blossoms on thy lips. And tears take sunshine from thine eyes!
 Life is but Thought; so think I will | That Youth and l are house-mates still. | Dew drops are the gems of morning, But the tears of mournful eve! Where no hope is. ,ife's a warning That only serves to make us grieye When we are old: That only serves to make us grieve | With oft and tedious taking-ieaye Like some poor nigh-related guest That may not rudey be dismist Yet hath out-stay'd his welcome whilo. And tells the jest without the smile.

ETERNAL FEMININE

From the New York Globe.
 The London General Oranibus com- papy, casting about for a designation to apply to the women it has engaged as conductors. has decided on 'cou- ductorette" The city of Sheffield in England recently rejected the term '1ady conductors for the women en- gagged in similar capacity on its street cars. It likewise voted down tram women" "Women conductors" it adopted. English and American vis- itors to the city of Bordeaux in France have been surprised to find the motor man on a tram car officially denonli- mated a "wattman" (signs adm on4sh the traveller to refrain from speaking to the "wattman') When recently Bordeaux installed IS women, after course of study, to guide motors on its street cars. those women, in perfect correlation to it's "wattmen,' were in stalled as "wattwomen."
 "Conduetorette," however refuses to ring true Of course the ending in "ette" is a diminutive before it is a feminine. "Suffragette" was dut bed as a jest rather than as a feminine va riation until the suffragettes smashed the joke Apparently "cenductorette" is serious London analogy from "suf- fragette." Yet there is "condUctress correct English word signifying a female conductor, leader. guide and writers as far removed in time as John Ford and Charles Dickens used it freely,
 A feminine form persists in titles of various sorts-"empress,' princess, "executrix," "testatrix." It is retained in certain words denotine occupation, as actress" waitress" But the oth- ers "authoress." "poetess.'

ANOTHER LINCOLN STORY

Special to the New York Times. Washington.-The last survivor of the crew of the Monitor called today at the White House. He wished to see the President and show him a design for a building to be erected in Newark, N. J., in commemoration of the two hundred and fifteth anniversary of the founding of that city. As the President was en- gagged in an important conference with Secretary Lansing, Dr. Greenville M. Weeks-for that was the callers name was 9 sked to return at some more conve- nieft time.
 Dr. Weeks is in his eightieth year. He made a striking appearance as he stood in the corridor of the executive offices in his grand army uniform and with his flowing white hair and beard. One arn-the right-hung limp and almost useless. It was the souvenir that he brought from the famous battle between the Monitor and the Merrimac He car ries another wound, from a spear thrust received in a land battle in February, 1S64 after he had received commission as surgeon in the union army.
 The circumstances of that commission was related by Dr. Weeks in an inter- esting fashion. Incidentally, it has to do with his last previous visit to the White House. After his injury on the Moni- tor, the wounded man came to Washing ton to apply for appointment on the medical staff of the army. Secretary Starton gave him no encouragement.
 Dr. Weeks heard that President Lincoln was holding a reception, and crossed over to the White House to pay his re- spects. As he was about to enter the room where Lincoln was standing, an officer blocked his way and gruffly told him to fall in at the end of the line.
 Lincoln overheard the order. He re- called Dr. Weeks and, turning to the officer, said:
 Thereafter, whether the caller is an officer or private, Major, he a gentle man." separating the syllables of the last word and empha sizing the first two.
 Then turning to Dr. Weeks, the Pres ident said:
 You are wounded, sir. There's place for you, however, if you can use your head"

BRILLIANT ADVANCE AGENT

 Corse Payton, the ten, twent' and thirt' actor, has found an advance agent with ! new scheme. The agent in question was formerly attached to a dog and pony circus. He came to Payton and applied for job. Payton was convinced that the man understood the requirements of bill- ing, but was somewhat in doubt con cerning his literary ability as a press agent. Nevertheless, he decided to give his applicant trial. He made great sho wing with his billing in the first town" says Payton, in telling the story.

CHAPLIN THE ARrICTIC

From the Chicago Tribune.
 It becomes necessary from time to time to chronicle artistic events .n the career of Charles Chaplin. He receives perhaps too much attention from the public and not enough from the critics. We suppose Shakespeare felt himself il the same predicament. He was damningly popular
 Any one of discriminating taste who has been sufficiently interested in this living old master of the movies to view tke none too frequent revivals of his earlier period must arrive at the con clusion that in his antics. h.s we'll placed kicks, he was as 1t Were but testing out his immortal legs. Those who consigned him to limbo with ali the other music hall drunks must re consider. For into ,Chaplins most re- cent work there has crept a note of pathos and one feels a slight though rot uncomfortable tremor of the tear ducts
 There is not too much of it.; not enough to disturb the fanatical cptini- ism of the American audience. It is a kind of tragic relief in comedy cor
  lief in tragedy. It is an acknowledg- ment that at least one of the oysters ct a feast is generally bad. The screams of laughter which accompany Chaplin's incarnation of tramp have a dubious quality as he walks tomic- ally away down the road against the sunset. The hero of a bu:lesqne res cue, he punctures a hysteiical laugh with one attitude indicative of child like exhaustion Even clowning is a somewhat sad game.
 Chaplin is probably the funniest man in the world. At least. he is the fun riest man the world knows. He is al so a great artist and worth dime of any mans money.

JAMES J. HILLS LESSON

without whose cooperation no great achievement is possible and no master
 building effective?
 "The man with the big opportunity to- day is the man in the ranks" said MT. Hill not long ago. Let this be the answer tc those who proclaim the gospel of eiivy and hatred. It is their preachments that fill the bread line and call for the bundle day The master builder has no use for either.
 MT. Hill could not have done his great work if he had lived in the repellent at- mosphere of today. He would have been turned aside by the heavy restrictions placed on the railroads, the limitations on big business and the handicaps on tig meri.
 An empire in the southwest lies al- most as fallow now as the preirie em- piie Of the northwest did when MT. Hill appeared to open the way for it's re- denlption over half century ago. Elm pire builders are ready to do in the southwest what MT. Hill did in the north west, but the work is left undone. Why? The imperial state of Texas with it's enormous areas of fertile land finds them a drug on the market. No railroad is within reaching distance, because it's drastic legislation is bankrupting the railroads of Texas. The new railroad mileage built in the United States last year was the smallest in nearly a quar- ter of a century. Why? Because the captains of industry have been driven from the field. The country suffers. I MT. Hill was not the last of the great leaders, as some have said. Others are ready to follow in his footsteps Bright, able, ambitious, young men stand ready to lead. Take the shackles from big business, give the railroads fair play, ad- minister the Sherman law in the light of reason, remove the hardships of the sea- n ans law, give capital free opportunity. and master builders of the new genera ton will promptly appear.

Diversified Farming

"One of the biggest boosters of his section of the state is Edward Doty, editor of the Andalusia Star,' said A. H. Matthews, prominent visitor from that section yesterday. 'He simply can't be beat. He began a few years ago to tell all he knew about diversified farm ing, packing plants, etc. He just kept hammering until he induced the farmers in his section to grow velvet beans, pea nuts, more corn and more everything else than was needed to make southern farming what it should be. From his ef- forts that section of the state learned that they need have no fears from the boil weevil scare, and today Andalusia has the biggest packing plant in the south which is destined to make pork raising in Alabama a leading industry with farmers and capitalists, who mean to make money and build up the re- sources of the state This packing plant was established largely through the ham, merings of Edward Doty, the best news paper man that ever came to south Ala hama."

Pointers on Hotels

Running a hotel would be a fine the crowds could be more or less equal ly distributed during the year." said l.. J. Snow, a prominent Tuscaloosa att torney and proprietor of the McLester day. During the centennial and com mencement at Tuscaloosa last month, our hotel was forced to turn down ap- plications of hundreds of people. Every available room and bit of space in the hotel was booked weeks in advance of the event, and during the celebration we received letters and telegrams from several hundred people asking for rooms, which we were nable to fur nish. Since that time, the summer dull- ness has set in and frequently not more than half our rooms are occupied. This situation is what keeps the hotel busi- ness from being extremely profitable. People notice the tremendous crowds on special occasions and figure on the large profits, but they fail to take into consideration the many days when the hotel is half empty"
 Mr Snow was accompanied to Bir- mingham by Fleetwood Rice, a promi nent lawyer, who is mentioned as a candidate for lieutenant governor. and Archie Leland, the democratic nominee for circuit clerk of Tuscaloosa county.

KeepinE COrnncaI

Investigations on the keeping quail ties of cornmeal show that stone ground meal, which on account of it's rich, oily flavor, spells more quickly than meal made in the modern mill by the roller process" says J. S. Ford ham, a mill man of Texas. For this reason the stone ground meal should be eaten as soon as possible after mill- ing.
 "In those sections of the country where it is customary to take corn to the mill and carry back the meal, fre- uuent trips should be made to the mill and only small quantities of corn taken at each trip so that the meal can be used in a short time after being milled. The palatable taste of the stone ground meal is due to the oil contained in the germ of the corn. As the whole kernel of corn is ground in the stone or French burr mill this oil is pressed out in the process and imparts it's flavor to the meal In the roller mill process the germ is taken from the corn before rolling by a machine called deger- minator, and but little of the oil gets into the meal"

Golf Mathematics

"I am decidedly an amateur at this business of playing golf" said Charles H. Allen, publisher of the Montgom- cry Advertiser. who is here for the golf tournament My playing sometimes re- minds me of story told on friend in Montgomery. The question of golf playing was under discussion and some one remarked that A had made a score of S6 the day before while B had made a score of 92. My friend remarked that B had defeated A six points and he could not understand why everyone present laughed at his statement. But really, golf Is very fascinating game, and have never found a man who had played very much who did not enjoy it. We are having a fine tournament at the Country club and the visitors are having splendid time here"
