Alabama To Raise $1OO,0OO
 For University of the South.

THE University of the South at
 0 Sewanee has long ranked high among the leading institutions of its kind in America It is the alma mater of some of the nations most distinguished sons. The loyalty of the alumni is strong. Sewanee com mands the respect of the intelligent men and women of the south, of all religious denominations and regard less of their own college affiliations. This is because it typifies the best ideals of college life. It is rich in as sociations and its career has been one of great usefulness.
 The drive to raise fund of 1,000,- 900 fon the university has met with cordial response and will sure ly result in more than the required sum being raised. The p Episcopal dioceses of the south which maintain the university have undertaken the task of making it larger and bet ter school, to expand it's extension work, to provide for women students and in other ways to give better fla cilities for teaching the young men and young women of the south.
 Alabama's quota is only s1O0, 900. Of this sum, $32,000 has already been raised. Birmingham, Montgomery ard Mobile are expected to raise the bal ance. If they fail, considering the worthiness of the cause, it will be surprising, indeed. Next week three suppers will be given at three of the principal Episcopal churches in the Birmingham district-the Church ol the Advent, St. Andrews and St Mary's -on-t the Highlands. Members o1 other Episcopal churches in the dis trict are invited to attend these sup. pers, at which subscriptions will be taken for Sewanee.
 Birmingham will respond to this call as it has answered in the past te the needs of humanity, the school: and the churches, with its accustomed generosity.

Mrs. Graham Scott is fortunate in these days when nurses are at pre- mium to have such an attractive baby that the performers and even the work men are waiting to take care of it while she goes on for her act. It reminded me of a talk I had with family doing an engagement at the Bijou. Father and mother started an act together, but when l saw them had several sons and daugh- ters incorporated into it, and two of them were grown. The mother told me that all had been reared on the stage, and that when they were babies and her cue was called she just opened her trav- cling trunk and put them in the top tray.

Before the Ink Is Dry.

1t is horrible to think that we have
people in our midst that are hurrying
to resume relations with Germany be-
fore the ink on the peace treaty is dry.
They are blind and deaf to the TRACE
dies of the war, lost to sense of de-
cency, of pity and of ordinary honor
so avaricious, so greedy and so utterly
Indifferent to the safety of our insti-
tutions that they will strike hands
with the murderers of Armenian. Ser
ban, Belgian and French noncombat-
ants, to say nothing of the sea vic
tins and the browning disgrace of the
sunken German fleet. Well. we make
money out of junk and garbage, so
perhaps these friends of ours look on
German goods in the same light, and
we should class them as junk and
garbage dealers

The Tormentine Train Fly.

Many years ago John Leech drew a
picture of an Irritable Gentleman Dis
turbed by a Bluebottle," which Glad
stone declared was the funniest he had
ever seen. But if ever there was a
miserable, wretched, useless and ut
terly degenerate specimen of the in
sect world it is fly in railroad car.
Its sole object in life seems to be to
settle on the back of the hand or on
the Mexican hairless head. Driven
out of the window of an on rushing
train, it Immediately re-enters by a
rear window and comes back to its
place of torment.
There is nothing for it to eat. no
place to breed and no place to rest eX-
cepting on a passenger, and because
the car has bright lights at night it
continues its evil activities long after
all decent flies have retired. Cannot
the railroad administration teach its
flies what's swat?

the only method of raising revenue
for the government it would be quite
proper to express that fact by calling
this country the United Estates, be-
cause every man, woman and child in
the country will be made thereby an
heir to the entire land. Our property
will be in the hands of executors who
will administer the affairs of the Unit
ed Estate for our benefit. These ex-
ecutives will be the President, the SEN
ate and the house of representatives,

was earned by the ladies who spoke.
Probably the most spontaneous and

There is nothing more interesting
than the breeding of cows" Mr.. Lee
said. Il have been at it, boy and man,
good many years, and the greatest
JOY | have is to take a young calf and
develop 1t into COW of great milk pro-
duction. More and more big business
men are realizing the rest and recrea-
ton there is in pure bred herd. They
are finding in it a new occupation
which has all the fascination, but not
the burdens, of big business.
II dare say we have in our barns at
this moment number of surprises in
the line of cows that will give so to 100
pounds of milk day when they get to
it and develop also into perfect type
animals. We breed for type as well as
for production, you know. Both are
