A special session of city court was
held at the court house Tuesday after
noon when the cases of The State vs.
Addie Ogles and The State vs. J. N.
Shepard were disposed of.
Shepard was accused of cheating and
swindling, by Mr. R. A. Rushton. It
seemed that Shepard had been trading
with Mr. Rushton for several months
and left for Lindale, owing him some
money. A bailiff was sent after him;
but when the case was "heard, the evi
dence was such that the court ac
quitted Mr. Shepard of the charge
agains^him. He was represented by
Col. M7 B. Eubanks, of Rome.
Addie Ogles was fined $50 and costs,
or, in default, six months in the chain-
gang; but as she seemed eager to go
to Chattanooga, Judge Glenn decided
that it would be a good idea to get
rid of her in that manner, so a collec
tion was taken up and a sufficient
amount to pay her fare to Chattanooga
was secured. As one peron put it, it
seemed a worse punishment to send
her to Chattanooga than to the chain-
gang; so the court readily fell in with
her plans.

The question of rebuilding the col
ored school house was brought up in
council meeting Monday night, and the
city fathers decided to hold off for a
while before beginning the new build
ing. The matter was brought to their
attention by a communication from the
school board.
The school board stated to the coun
cil, by means of a letter, that they had
$800 from the insurance companies for
the burning of the building, and that
with $700 more, a neat, one-story build
ing could be erected that would meet
all the needs of the colored people.
The letter went on to say that the
board had sufficient money on hand
to spend this additional $700 without
crippling the schools.
After the communication was read,
the council discussed it for a time, and
the idea was advanced that it would
do no good to rush the work, as the
building could not be put in shape to
be used any during this term of school;
and that summer would soon be here,
at which time they could look into the
matter and have a building erected.
The matter was finally tabled to be
taken up at some future meeting.

ADDITION VS. SUBTRACTION.
Broadly speaking, there are two
methods of living—the method of ad
dition and the method of subtraction.
The one produces a life strong, virile
and effective; the other generates a
character, weak, inert and inefficient.
The life of addition postulates con
stant improvement, for the conscious
ness of an act well done creates with
in power sufficient for the accomplish
ment of things greater, grander and
nobler. The life of subtraction ne
cessitates deterioration, for know
ledge of negativeness demands de
struction of self-confidence, therefore,
definite decrease of doing.
The life of addition is characterized
by the word “do,” signifying ever in
creasing, concentrated personal ac
tion. Potential energy is transform
ed into kinetic force. Facilities long
dormant now take their place as ac
tive constituents of the personality,
and by this activity grow more skill
ful. Ere the goal is attained, the ho
rizon of ideals broadens, and we
strive on “forgetting the things that
are behind.” Paths are cleared, ob
stacles overcome, doubts dispelled, so
that the increased vitality moves from
achievement to achievement rapidly,
and without hesitation, evolving a life
positive, powerful and propellant.
¥F you’re trying to land the right thing in clothes,
* you’ll have to go where it is; no use casting for trout

clothes; and you can’t get any=
thing better. In the ordinary
clothing store you get the ordi=
nary clothes; we’re different, be=
cause the clothes we sell are
different; nobody else has any=
thing to equal them, and one
comparison will quickly prove it.
All=wool is one point that
makes them different; and good
style, tailoring, fit are other
points.

The life of subtraction finds its ex
pression in “do not.” Introspection
concerns itself almost totally with the
elimination of faults. Intent upon the
banishment of these evils, the con
sciousness becomes unmindful of the
winning of virtues; later it wonders
at its weakness, having overlooked
the fact that diminution of thought
results in decrease of action. The ca
pabilities are crippled, power is pau
perized, and self-confidence, that pow
er without which no man reaches the
summit, finds itself perceptibly dwin
dling toward the diminishing point.
These two methods of living seem
diametrically situated, yet the line of
demarcation is often indistinct, and to
differentiate is frequently close to im
possible. Not only is it conceivable,
but it is true that the same ego profits
by both subtraction and addition. Al
though apparently paradoxical, in a
co-working of the two, the life of sub
traction becomes itself a life of addi
tion. Is not cessation of weakness
strength? Is not eradication of evil
virtue? Is not doing away with self-
righteousness spirituality? It is a
fundamental principle of economics
that to cancel a thousand-dollar debt
makes the cancellor wealthier. All
physioligists knew that the frequent
and proper use of the inhibitory mus
cles is essential to normal life me
chanisms. In accordance with this
same principle, curtailment of life’s lia
bilities is an additional asset of man
hood.
The thought embodied in the sub
traction idea of life has proved detri
mental to correct courses of action,
and a stumbling block in the avenues
of advancement. The dominant con
ceptions in such a life are nega
tive; by the laws of association and
correlation the brain dwells on things
incompatible with true progress. As
illustrations of this, examine the ed
ucational and religious phases of life.
The thought atmospheric conditions
surrounding too many teachers are
prohibitory. Into the minds of the
pupils is forced daily, “don’t do this”
or “don’t do that,” with the result
that the students are fully informed
as to what not to do, but are lacking
in initiative.
Fear, the demon destroyer of tran
quility, is at work and the mind of
the school is deflected from applica
tion to lessons to watching themselves
less they violate some regulation.
What happens when the teacher
leaves the room? Much of the fear
is removed, and sway is given to mis
chievous inclinations. The life of sub
traction is at work.
The picture presented is a picture
of the evil child. Very often, in giving
advice, and in warning, faults, with
which the pupils are not even familiar,
are mentioned. The suggestions take
root and come to fruition in wrong
doing. Again letting a child think the
teacher believes it will transgress,
should be avoided. This is even found
in colleges. A certain professor of
Latin, on the first day of the term,
spoke at length on “Jacks.” Some of
the new students remarked, “Profes
sor believes we are going to use
‘Jacks,’ so we may as well use them.”
The life of subtraction is at work.
Some teachers believe the most of
their duty is not to allow misbehavior,
not to bestow a rise unless it is made.
So the man gets lost in the teacher.
Bad habits are being formed by the
students. He notes it, but does he
use his influence? Oh, no, that is
foreign matter. He sees a pupil is lia
ble to miss his rise. Does he per
sonally ask for better work? Oh, no,
just fails to pass him. The life of
subtraction is at work.
The life of subtraction in the reli
gious world is to do no evil. At once
is brought to mind the passage in
Luke, about the devil’s coming to a
man’s house and finding it swept and
clean, enters in. The last state of
that man was worse than the first.
So to eschew evil doing is not suffi
cient. But positive gains should be
made. To many the concept of Chris
tianity is to commit no sin, thereby
not to spend eternity in hell. Now,
there is much difference between this
and the concept, to do good, thereby
to enter heaven. The continuance of
“to escape hell” in the brain must
bring up thoughts of the different acts
to be avoided. Thoughts of these acts
will lessen strength of character. “As
a man thinketh, so is he.” Hell, de
mons, whoredom, heaven, virtue, pur
ity—which tried counts for most?
Surely the last, although the former
is thought of only as something to
be shunned. Hell finds no resting
place in a heart full of heaven. Paul
teaches emphatically the life of addi
tion in, “Add to your faith virtue; and
to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge
temperance; and to temperance pa
tience; and to patience godliness; and
to godliness brotherly kindness; and
to brotherly kindness charity.”
The positive life is infinitely above
the negative. To think big things is
to do big things. The brain must be
filled with lofty ideals. It may be un
consciously, but high ideals ever bring
nearer and nearer their externaliza-
tion. Dream you are a king, and with
kingly kindness you act; dream you
are a queen, and with queenly quint
essence your personality is tinged.
“Not on the vulgar mass
Called work must sentence pass,
Things done that took the eye and
had the price;
O’er which from level stand,
The low world laid its hand,
Found straightway to its mind, could
value in a trice;
But all the world’s coarse thumb
And finger failed to plumb,
So passed in making up the main ac
count,
All instincts immature,
All purposes unsure,
That weighed not as his work, yet*
swelled the man’s amount;
Thoughts hardly to be packed
Into a narrow act,
Fancies that broke through language
and escaped;
All I could never be,
All, men ignored in me,
This, I was worth to God, whose
wheel the pitcher shaped.”
—H. A. Stallings, in Emory Phoenix.
Was like to that light which comes
from the sky;
And, lo! I had not been a passer-by,
’Twas I had been hunger-spent!
—Wightman Fletcher Melton.
THE STEALING BUSINESS.
I’m not in the stealing business,
But I think I’ll learn the trade,
For it comes in mighty handy
When you’re sitting in the shade
Of some pretty, leafy bower
With your sweetheart sitting by,
And you ask if you may kiss her
And the answer in her eye
Seems to tell you that she’d like it,
But her lips still answer “No,”
If you don’t get down to stealing
Yon won’t ever stand a show.
—C. C. H., ’09.
A MESSENGER.
I heard the wail of a hungry soul,
Deep down in the pit of night;
The fiery gleam of a sunken eye,
And a long, thin hand held up so high,
And a pitiful plea to the passer-by,
All begged, “God, give me light!”
I said: “Poor soul, I’m only a man,”
And hurriedly turned away;
But time, nor space, nor a secret
place
Could make me forget that pitiful
face,
Or yet from my stubborn mind erase
The prayer that I heard that day.
At last I sought for that hungry soul,
Believing myself God-sent,
And found it; the light that shone in
the eye
