SUMMER SESSION
is PROFITABLE
County Training School Saves
Large Sum to Local
Teachers

The summer session of the RuSk
| county training school closes today
1t has been an interesting and profit
aisle session to the young teachers and
the older teachers in attendance, the
NeWS-Budget is led to believe 1t has
been a profitable session in more ways
than one. While the teachers have
knowledge and training most Of them
have been enabled to save considerable
money by having such a school in their
home county, instead of having to go
away to some state normal school. The
saving to Rusk county students is es-
timated to be in excess of $500
This was the first summer session of
this school. The results attained and
the attendance have justified the hopes
and predictions which its promoters
entertained and made
A feature Of the work, which may
possibly be q little surprising to some,
is the manual training undertaken by
the girls. During the short course of
six weeks they did some very credit
able execution. Among other articles
they made window lifts. foOtstools, bull

stools. nail boxes, etc.

DIANNUNZIO, THE SUPERMAN

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 WN THILE 'idling in Italy" Joseph
 AvNW Collins has taken time to think
 over conditions and men identi- fed with the literary estate of the coun- try. In particular has he been able to secure a full costunied and convincing close up of the egocentric poet, Gabrielle d dAnnunzio. Anyone who has been at all fannilitr with events in the past few years cannot fail to identify the picture:
 From the beginning of his literary ca reer, dRnnunzio was at no pains to con- ceal that he was the model from which he painted his heroes. The reader who identifies him with Tullio Hermit is the perspicacious reader, in the eyes of the author; the reader who considers the con- duct of Tullio, infracting as it does the canons of law, of morality and of de- cency, as the conduct of superman, IS, ir the judgment of the author, the sap tent reader. He who sees in Tuiiio and his conduct a beast abnormaiiy freighted with lubricity, lacking in in hibtory qualities of a man unguided ana uninfluenced by any obligation to God or man, and knowing no other obligation than the pursuit of his own pleasures and desires, is 8 fool, a weakling, an mani mate mass of protoplasm moulded in the

Judge Thomas w. Coleman
 Dies at a Ripe Age

N MAN of pronounced views and A endowed with the fighting quality to stand stoutly by them, the late Judge Thomas W. Coleman of Eutaw, was a distinguished figure in the affairs of Alabama for more than 50 years. His death at the age of 87 years removes almost the last of the forceful men of the old school.
 He was a member of the constitu- tional convention of 1867, and that of 1901. He came of revolutionary North Carolina stock, his grandfather mov- ing to Alabama the year before it at tained statehood. Judge Coleman was vigorously opposed to secession, hav- ing the judgment to forecast its con- sequences, but when the south did secede he went with his people, raised a regiment of soldiers and served gall lantly. He was twice captured and once shot through the body.
 He served his people well after the war. He was chancellor of the south western division and for several years an incumbent of the supreme court bench. He was active in all, the af- fairs of public moment until at an ad- vanced age and even then his pen was power in the discussion of important questions.
 He was typical of the old south. He loved the ownership of broad acres and died possessed of very exten- sive landed estate A man of sturdy convictions, he always took sides and fought valliantly for that in which he believed. He was known and hon. ored far and wide in Alabama.

 Take look at woman when she is doing her housework early in the morn ing and then take a look at her after she is dolled up to go out in the evening and you'll have to admit that she is two-faced.
 We know a lot of men who get plenty of exercise by batting themselves on the back.
 The fellow who would rather lose a friend than lose an argument during the recent campaign now discovers that he lost both.
