 June First

His formal resignation has been handed In by pr. Charles B. Williams, president of Howard college.
 His severance of hls connection with tho Baptist institution is effective June 1, 1921, and is worded as follows.
 Whereas, it seems impossible, in the faco of the terrific financial depres- sion, to raise in the near future the necessary $500000 for the moving of Howard college to Woodlawn Heights according to resolutions adopted by the board of trustees;
 Whereas, 1t is my conviction that my high ideal of the greater Howard for the education of thousands of youths and for the glory of God could scarce ly, If at all, be realized at East LakeI
 Whereas, I am convinced that, under the circumstances I could not serve God best, or help humanity most, or dc my full duty to my family;
 Therefore, 1 do hereby tender 10 the board of trustees my resignation as President of Howard college to take effect June 1, 1921.
 l came two years ago under the lead Ing of the Divine Spirit. I believe. go under the same impulse, trust l want to thank the pastors, churches and business men, who last year St beautifully and nobly stood by us in our $250,000 campaign to pay off the $3o0,000 to the endowment. including the receipt of s1O0,o00 from the New York board.
 l feel n a m nf the greater Howard has utterly failed it has been only temporarily suspended by financial depression, which has made possible the untoward circum- stances, The providence of God may raise up another to realize my ideal if not as I conceived 1t, in some other form.
 As a true sport. l take off my hat to the winners In the game-the Easl Lake minority.
 l want to congratulate the college on being member of the Southern as sociation. and of it's consequent rank az a standard Al college; on having nearly $400,000 In productive fund. yielding in interest some $2900O this year; on the fine increase of 40 pc, cent in the student body this year, anc the growing interest of the Baptis der omination and of numerous other friends in the college.
 l want also to express my soulful appreciation of the fine cooperation of my colleagues, especially of all the old regulars whom I found struggling and sacrificing for the college; yea of the fine spirit displayed by all mem, bers of the faculty, with one or two exceptions.
 l want to thank the board of trus- tees for their hearty, splendid support during my stay, and for ratifying my suggested programme for next year as to the faculty, their salary, the bud get. etc. CHARLES B. WILLIAMS.

I was engaged with him in the active management of great business enterprises. was his compaion in adventurous roamings through trackless wilderness inhabited by ferocious beasts and hostile saw ages. I have been with him in camp where lions roared close at hand, to be kept off only by wall of fire and the firing of guns and not prevented even by such means from snatching our donkeys or occasionally a negro boy.
 Thus l may fairly claim to have known Rhodes well. I can testify that he was far from being the selfish and ruthless man his enemies declared. His character was exactly the opposite. Fairness and justice were guiding prin- ciples from which he never swerved. More than once I have heard him say: Always put yourself in the other fell lows place. Any trade that Is not sat- isfactory to the other fellow is not satisfactory to me-" And again: T have never in my life met anybody with whom 1t wasn't just as easy to deal as to fight"
 Ambitious, yes. but on a grand and noble scale. He cared nothing for money except for the power its pos session gave. T do like power" he said to me. He liked to control great affairs and would say that he loved the game"
 This man, who was called the em- pire- builder, who thought in conti- nents,' had started in life with almost every possible handicap The son of a poor English clergyman, and one of the youngest of nine children, he was moneyless and sickly. In the hope that his health might be benefited. he was shipped off at seventeen years of age to an elder brothers farm in Ma tai. A year after his arrival in South Africa there arose a great excitement over the discovery of diamonds at Kim berly, There was a rush of wealth seekers to the scene, and the boy. eager for chance to gain sudden fortune, has tened thither. making the journey of several hundred miles in an ox-cart, and carrying with no other equipment than a spade, bucket, and few we'll thumbed volumes of Latin and Greek classics

FAMOUS HUMANE
 LECTURER COMING
Richard C. Craven to Present Picture Story of Animals In
 Peace and In War

The American Humane association is sending to Birmingham it's lecturer. or ganizer and revivalist. Richard c.
 Mems Christian association auditorium, Wednesday, May 25, at o'clock D. m.
 Mir Craven has travelled through the United States and canada in the inter- ests of humane work and is thoroughly
 familiar with animal conditions in Flu rope and America. He will deliver here his nationally known picture lecture, entitled. Animals in Peace and War"
 and will illustrate his discourse with a
 unique collection of 100 slides
 The pictures show the operations of
 animal protection societies all over the country. the treatment of the injured
 and suffering, the collection and dis posal of stray, unwanted and undesir-
 able dogs the lives of food animals on
 the great stock ranges, the work of the
 worlds greatest animal hospitals, ani-
 mal incidents in the great war and
 many other features.
 All over the country there is a marked revival of interest in the hu- mane cause of kindness to animals. i" said Mrs. Charles Whelan of the local organization, and why not? It is one of the best legacies of the World war. where horse, mule. camel, dog, pigeon, canary and goldfish did their bit in service to man. Never in the worlds history has the humane spirit toward animals been shown as III the great war.
 More than 16.000.000 horses and mules were pressed Into war service. All that could be done for them was to give the sQuarest deal that human be- ings are capable of. And this was done for the grievously wounded animals were not left to die lingering deaths, but were humanely destroyed. For those that could be cured there was tho most perfect animals hospital system the world has ever seen. and the fact that so per cent hospital cases were cured Is a high tribute to the men who staffed those hospitals. These animals gave service that only animals could give. They kept the guns moving, they hauled supplies. food and munitions to the trenches, they faced shell and bayo- net with their riders. They were a fac- tor in the final victory. g
 Moreover Mir. Cfaven deals with the growth of the humane movement in the United States, showing the opera tions impractical working of the hu- mane societies; how humane officers do their daily tasks; the problems of the injured horse and unwanted dogs and cats; what became of the derelict ani- mals of large cities; how they are de- stroyed and so on.
 MT. Craven is an alert. live-wfre talker, full to bursting with his sub ject. and bores right off the reel into the hearts and minds of his hearers All his addresses and lectures arc free to. the public; no admission fee and no

FAIRFIELD JOINS ENSLEY IN FIGHT
 ID CURB J|TNEYS
Prominent Citizen Declares Fairfield Vitally Interested Because Must Depend on
 Street Cars Only

Added interest is expected to be given the jitney situation following the mass meeting. of citizens of Ensley and vicinity which will be held Monday morning at 10 o'clock at the Ensley inferior court room.
 s That other suburbs in addition to fEnsley are keenly interested in the con- troversy and want the city commission to take some action which will prevent the possibility of either reducing the service or increasing the car fare was indicated yesterday when Fairfield citi- zens accepted the invitation of Ensley to attend the meeting.
 C. J. Donald one of the largest property owners and leading business men of Fair field notified the Ensley Civic club or ficers that a considerable delegation qf Fairfield business men and others would attend the meeting He declared thai while Fairfield was outside the city lmits,' it had an interest in this matter and did not propose to be taxed to help maintain duplicate transportation facili- ties for the convenience of people living on South Highlands and other close in sections.
 DEPEND ON STREET CARS
 ''The people of Fairfield and Ensley nave no JlIn6y SSTNlCo duu Seh hSFSA have any at a fare the people can af- ford to- pay" said MT. Donald. we must rely upon street cars and dae to the long distance from Birmingham, we must have efficient service to enable us to visit the city.
 Tt Is very evident that under the pres ent situation the people of Fairfield and Ensley, as well as Pratt City, Vivian Gate City, Inglenook, Boyles, East Lake and other suburbs are being taxed to maintain duplicate service on South Highlands and other short hauls where the street cars are losing S1,000 day due to the jitneys. If those people want the jitneys we have nq objection, but we know that eventually we must pay fol that duplicate service.
 We know that as long as the com pany loses money, we can't hope for a lower car fare and may even be calico on for a raise. We think 1t is up to the proper authorities to prevent this econo' mic waste caused by furnishing two services when one is ample, and we rec that we have a right to be heard pe' cause we may be made the goat III this proposition.
 SUBURBS MUST TAKE ACTION
 "The working people and those whe live in the suburbs some distance from the city have to rely upon street cars and they should get busy and see that they are not taxed to supply two services to South Highlands and other sections where most of the people can get along without street cars, because they own automobiles"
 Mrs. Conrad Boterweg, president or the Ensley Civic club. will preside over the meeting anu Tn addition to citizens ol Ensley, Wylam, Pratt City and Fairfield two speakers have been invited to out line the situation now confronting the citizens of Birmingham and the suburbs
