GREAT SCHOOL TO COME,
To Be Located In This County and Will
Cost Fully 100000.

The great school that Rev. Robert
Hall, has been advocating and working
for so vigorously for several months,
now seems practically assured.
The school is to be one that will
prove of vast benefit to this section
for more reasons than one: First, it
will entail the expenditure of fully
5000, 900 in the erection of buildings
and preparation of the grounds. 1t
will carry faculty of teachers as am =
pie perhaps as any college in the south.
1t will be launched along very broad
lines and the purpose will not only be
to establish a seat of learning of the
very best type, but it will embrace
both vocational training and an
agricultural department of high order
along with splendid classical course.
That the institution VIII be heavily
endowed there is no reason to doubt
and that the talent employed will be
of the highest order there is equal
assurance.
Rev. Robert Hall recently received
letter from Col. J. E. Edgerton.
Conference Campaign Manager, who
stated that: within two or three
weeks it is the purpose of our COM
mittee to make trip to see you and
go over to that district with the view
to selecting the sight for school.
The comittee is expected here this
week or next. The funds for the
school have been voted by the confer
ence and what now remains is the
location and then active work may
be expected very soon thereafter.
Col Edgerton speaks of Rev. Hall
in the highest terms and assured
him that his labors in behalf of the
school would surely bear frait and that
his splendid efforts were fully ap-
preciated.

HANGED FOR BURNING COAL
There Was a Time When Job of Look
ing After Production Would
Have Been Sinecure.

The present-day restrictions with re-
gard to the use of coal would have
seemed very mild to our ancestors, re-
marks writer In London Tit-Bits.
There Is no doubt that the use of what
used to be called "sea coal" to distin-
guish it from charcoal had it's draw
backs.
Many look forward to the time when
there Will be no more smoky chimneys
in Britain, when the atmosphere Of
London will be as clean as it must
have been In the days of Good Queen
Bess, and when a new building will not
be begrimed with SCOT almost as soon
as it Is built.
In the reign Of Edward the inhabi-
tants of London petitioned the king
against the growing use Of coal, declar-
Ing that it was "a public nuisance, cor
rupting the air with it's stink ond
smoke, to the great detriment Of their
health" Whereupon the king prohib-
tied It's use, offenders to be punished
for a first offense by fine and for
second to have their kilns and fur
naces destroyed.
The practice of using coal was at
length made a capital offense and a
man was tried, condemned and hanged
for burning coal in London.
In those days the population of Eng
land probably did not exceed four or
five million, and wood was plentiful
and cheap from the vast forests that
covered tens Of thousands Of square
miles where now are great towns.

ORDINATION SERVICES.
R, E. Newton Is Regularly Ordained as
a Congregational Minister,

On Tbursay, May 90, at the Cougre-
gational Church, Crossville, were held
the services for the ordination of Rev.
( RE. Newton to the gospel ministry.
The visiting ministers present were
DR.. George +. Merrill and Rev. Neil
McQuarrie. Under the Congregational
Home Missionary Society DR.. Merrill
is Supertendant of Churh work in
several states, He lives in Atlanta.
Rev. Neil McQuarrie has special
charge of churches in Kntucky and
Tennessee and takes the place of Rev.
W. o. Berckman, who went IN and
out among US for so many years. Mr..
McQuarie is now from williamsburg,
Kentucky, Formerly he did very
interesting an unique work in Florida,
holding gospel svrices in various places
and travelling from place to place on
the rivers and lakes in boat, a kind
of gospel navy. The meeting of Thurs
day afternoon was taken up with the
examination of the candidate for
ordination.
Mr.. Newton is the son of Congre-
gational minister of Georgia. He re-
ceived his preparatory education in
Demorest, Georgia. He has recently
graduated from three years course in
Atlanta Theological Seminary.
Nno cupo norc nnn ho ~ Of t,>
the three churches which now ask him
to be their pastor again, the Congrega-
tional work at Crossvlle, Pleasant
Hill and Pomona. 1t was decided at
that time he should continue with US,
but it see red best for hm to complete
his course at Atlanta.
Last summer his ministerial duties
took him to Saskatchewan in the north
W est.
We are glad to have him with Us once
again. The regular ordination service
was held at night, under the leader
ship of DR.. Merrill who preached the
ordination sermon.
The text was from Luke 5;3. at
seemed coed to me also." DR.. Merrill |
spoke of the early church and It's maens
of gathering and CO onmunicating know
ledge about Jesus Christ. This led up
to the story of Luke, the scholary
author of the book which bears his
name, and the companion of st. Paul.
The ordalning prayer was offered by
DR.. Merrill, Rev. Neil McQuarrie
gave the charge to Rev. Newton and
also gave him, The Right Hand of
Fellowship.
The services we're helpfully aided
iy the choir who led in the singing of
lpproprat hymns. The benedlction was
pronounced by Rev. R. e. New ton.

NOTED PORT OF WANDERERS
samara, on the VoIga, Long tho Lure
OF Nomadic PeopIe--lts
Past History.

Samara, the Volga port, seems to
wanderers of the world. Through the
years, says The Villager, the district
has been an especial lure for nomadic
peoples; the fierce tribe of Bulgars
occupied 1t until the thirteenth CEN
tury and were followed by the Mon
gols, and when the power Of the Col
den Horde had waned the Volga bank
was still ravaged by Bashkirs, Kali
mucks and Nogal Tnrtars; the insti-
tuition Of the city of Samara itself was
for the protection Of the Russian en-
pire's frontiers against the depreda-
tions Of these nomadic marauders
from the steppes.
In the effort to stabilize this border
region and make 1t solid bulwark,
Catherine II offered Germans Of
Wuertemburg and Baden special priv
ileges for settlement here; today as
much German as Russian may be
heard in the streets Of Samara.
Yet, after all the centuries Of effort,
the city Is again swept by wanderers,
fighting hordes who know no military
"base," gypsy warriors who have trav-
ersed the Siberian expanse without
baggage and without plan Of cam
paign, with no orders save their own
impulse, with no responsibilities save
their own purpose; their exploit will
go down into history with full as much
picturesqueness as that Of GengHz
Kahn's followers and with far more
honor

VISITED MINISTER,

While there we had the pleasure Of
talk with Rev. K. c. Pile, minister
of the Church of Christ and Christian
Union, where Sergt. York is a lead
ing member. Rev. Pile informed as
that his church is more nearly in har-
mony with the Nazarene church than
any other, although they do not be-
lieve entirely as the Nazerines, but do
adhere closely to the idea of santifi-
cation. They require very strict ad-
herence to the belief of the church and
do not hesitate to discipline or sus-
pend any member who departs from
their faith. They Impress one as be-
ing very devoutspeople and of the
class who do not count worldly gain at
anything wh en- it conflicts with their
religion.
This is very strongly evidenced by
the action of Sergt. York, who was
offered $50, 200 TO 80 nights If he would
appear in a vaudevill with 35 young
ladies wearing tights. He was also
offered $50, 900 for 80 weeks of vaud-
eville entertainment and he declined
BOTH
When the matter was called to the
attention of Rev. Pile, his minister,
his reply was: "Of course, he could
not afford to loose his soul for any
amount of money; l knew Alvin
would never do that. he is to straight
a man and true a Christian.
The kindness and courtesy shown US
was characteristic of the mountain
people and could not help making any
one feel that the welcome extend
vas hearty nd genuine. We passed
the night a. the home of Mr.. Raines,
a merchant, and were treated with all
the real NJ Iuntain hospitality that is
so simple, !senersous and kind that one
one at once feels he has indeed fallen
among true friends.
There has been some discussion as
to just how Pail Mall is pronounced. |
If you wish to pronounce it as the |
people do who live there you will give
the "a" the same sound as il has in
the word chat" but If you prefur the |
English pronunciation you will give the
"a the sound it has in the word" all. "
The Cha hattanooga Rotary clup has
elected Sergt. York an honorary men,
Der and he Is to so as a delegate
TO Salt Lake, Utah, about the tenth
Of this month. When he was in Chat
tanooga the Rotary club gave him
a present of $1,000. 1t is easy to see
hat the Chattanooga Rotary Club will
be very much in the public eye at Salt
Lake because of the presence of Segt.
York.
APPOINTED CAPTAIN.
A resolution was introduced in con-
yress Monday authorizing the Presi-
lent to appoint Sergt. ALVIN C. York
! captain and place him on the retired
ist. The resolution will certainly pass.
