Although the governor about two weeks
ago directed Auditor M. C. Allgood to
draw a warrant for $4,000 in favor of the
Daphne Normal school to repair the dam
age done by last summers flood and
storm, the auditor has been advised by
Attorney General Martin that he cannot
comply with the governors instructions.
Mr.. Martin holds that the Legislature,
by an act approved April 10. 1911, ap-
propriated total of $500 for four years
for repairs at Daphne. The four years
expired September 80, 1915, and hence he
says, the auditor has no authority now
for drawing such a warrant.

PHILOSOPHERS STONE

Marked by a week of brilliant success,
the School of Methods came to a close
last night with the election of officers
for the Birmingham Sunday School asso-
citation, and an inspiring address by DR..
James w. Lee. The School of Methods
began last Saturday, with a meeting of
the grand council, followed by a general
meeting at the First Methodist church
last Sunday. The school proper opened
Monday afternoon at the First BAPTIST
church.
While the School of Methods has be-
come fixed feature of the Sunday school
work of Birmingham, no former school
has been such a magnificent success as
the one held this week. according to DR..
James NJ. Shelburne, dean. 1.-THE school

made one of his most inspiring addresses
last night. Discussing his subject 1.-THE

along scientific vein, DR.. Lee said:
THE most remarkable achievement in
the history of human research was the
discovery of the Philosophers Stone in
1888. This event is brilliant enough to
make luminous forever the period in
which we live. When the French SOL

the mud of the Nile, they putt the key
to the Egyptian learning in the hands
OF scholars, and unconsciously did the

DANCE BIC SUCCESS

The st. Nicholas Girls dance at the
Armory hall last night was a success
in every way, and nothing could better
demonstrate the interest that is felt
in this beautiful work which is being

than the interest which was manifest
ed in this dance for the Doll and Toy

cleared.
Among those who were present dur
ing the evening, and who helped to
make the dance success In every
way were Mrs. o. j. Semmes, Mrs.
George Hervey. Mrs. Frank L. Mayes,
Mrs. Frank Pou, Mrs. Oscar Maura.
Miss Ada White, Miss Leila .Aber-
crombie, Mrs. Lee Daniels. Miss Lola
Lee Daniels, and others.

ed as doorkeeper, and Mr.. Eugene
Goldstucker. who had charge OF the
candy wheels, the st. Nicholas Girl
is also greatly indebted.
While last night the sum cleared
could not be exactly estimated, the
receipts at late hour were more than
thirty five dollars, and as the ex-
penses were not very heavy, a good
sum was added to the fund.

CLUBROOMSECUR
FOR TOURISTS WHO
SPEND WINTER HERE

Through the efforts of The Journal
and the kindness of the Knowles Bros.
Agency. the winter visitors in Pensa-
cola this year will be provided with
spacious club rooms, where they may
hold meetings.
Many of the early arrivals have
come to The Journal office saying
that Pensacola offered no club rooms
where the visitors could get together
and meet each other 1t was stated
that other Florida cities provided such
accommodation free of charge, and
that it was believed that more would
come to Pensacola if such arrange
ments could be made.
The matter was brought to the at
tention OF The Knowles Agency, and
Ellis Knowles readily agreed to per-
NIT the use Of the spacious rooms in
the Brent building formerly used by
the firm as business offices The
tourists will fit them up comfortably
and will afford a place for the visitors
to meet.

morning. On various corners in the

the usual Christmas contribution rot,

providing dinner for poor families
of the city, the plans being to feed
about five hundred people.
