AN old Cu,tom Revired.

At the first diplomatic dinner given by
the new president of the French repub-
lie NJ. Felix Faurc created quite a SEN
sation by inaugurating new custom,
or rather by reviving an old one which
had. long fallen into disuse. All the
ambassadors and ministers present, TO.
gether with their attaches, both civil
and military, had been requested be-
forchand, through the medium of the
"Chcf du Protocole, otherwise tie mas
ter of the ceremonies, to don their gala
uniforms instead of the customary
swallow-tail and white tic. According
~, everybody who was entitled to wear
one was, attired in gold or silver
braided coat-even French officials
and as the ladies had seized the oppor-
tunity to put on their gayest dresses
and their most sparkling diamonds, the
general effect was quite magnificent.

THE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.

AS there seems to be disposition
i'll some quarters TO find fault with
the County Commissioners for not
converting the county hospital into a
high school, instead Of erecting q new
building, we publish the section of
the law governing the Board in this
matter. 1t is as follows:
SECTION 3. II the majority of all
the votes cast on the propos' ton to
establish high school are in the af-
tirmative, it shall be the duty of the
Board of County Commissioners with
i'll thirty days after cavassing said
vote, to locate the school in some
suitable and convenient place in said
county. Tho County Board of Com,
missioners, together with the County
Board of Examiners, who shall be
known as the County Board of Edu
cation, shall mt the same time esti
. mate the cost of purchasing suitable
grounds, erecting building and fur
nlshing the same for the accommoda
ton of the school, together with the
cost OF conducting school for the next
twelve months; provided, that the
County Board of Education may rent
suitable rooms for the accommodate
ton of the school. If rooms can be
obtained in the public school build
1ngs in the place in which the said
school shall be located, such rooms
shall be given the preference"
1t will be seen from a careful read
ing of this section of the law that the
County Commissioners have no dis
erection in the matter, but are directed
to purchase suitable grounds, erect
and furnish building for the accom-
mediation of the school. The law
was published in both papers at the
seat, and if the voters did not read it,
it is nobody's fault but their own.
Besides the publication Of the law,
numerous estimates on the probable
cost of the high school were pub
hshed III both papers, all of which
were based upon the cost of build
ing and the expense of running the
school for one year. These articles
were scattered broadcast over the
county and it is now too late for any
one to condemn the Commissioners
for carrying ont the provisions of the
law.
The INDEPENDENT believes that the
Commissioners simply did their duty
i'll the matter. They did not make
the law, and, not having any power to
change it, they merely carried out it's
plain provisions. For this they should
not be censured.

HISTORICAL FACES,

BEAcoNsF1ELD's face was puzzle
even to his intimates. It was impossi-
BILE, by watching it, to gain any insight
into his feelings or emotions.
Poe had long, thin face, with a small,
almost invisible, mustachc. His fea-
lures gave little indication of the habits
of dissipation that blighted his life.
.- MARY, QUEEN OF ScoTs, had red hair
and n cross eye, and, in spite of the en-
'comiums of her contemporaries, is be-
1ieved not to have been handsome
woman.
BURNS gave little indication Of his
genius in his features, which were
those Of the typical Scottish peasant.
The only good point in his face was his
eve.

Possible Extension of the B. & o.

Baltimore. Md. Aug. 26.-Thomas H. King, vice-president of the Baltimore ant Ohio railroad will start today on an in spection trip oyer the Roanoke and Southern, and Cape Fear and Jadkin Valley railroad lines.
 Mir. King will be accompanied by Gen. John Gill, receiver of the last named road, and Col. John A. Thompkins, expert ac- ,countant. It is said MT. Kings object In making the trip to examine these rail roads is for the purpose of determining the practicability of bringing them into close alliance with the Baltimore and Ohio thus giving that road access to a large section of the south and putting 1t in position to make further connections and extensions in that section. The Val ley railroad of Virginia, which is part of the Baltimore and Ohio system, ex- tends southward through the Shenandoah valley from Harpers Ferry, w. Va, to Lexington, Va. Any project for extend- ing the business of the Baltimore and Ohio southward over the Roanoke and Southern would require the construction of a railroad between Lexington and Roanoke.

This Is Worth Reading.

You'll find that very few people make a second purchase at store where they were once persuaded to take diff ferent article from what they intended to purchase Now this same rule should be- adopted by every person who enters store to purchase Simmons Liver Regulator This medicine has become so popular that many limitations are being offered under different names because the dealers are interruptions. They chuckle at their smartness, while the customer finds no relief from his miseres. Beware of these smart deal ers Simmons Liver Regulator is the best household medicine. and millions of people have found new life and health in taking the real article. Many call it "The ~Old Friend,' and Better than Pills" You will know it by the Red z on the package. Some people call 1t The great southern remedy" because it has a larger sale in the south than all other liver medicines combined. You can pin. your faith to it, it never dis appoints. sf

It daes not seem that there should be any necessity of my urging any business men ias such a business city as Birmingham, ofbusiness men throughout the south to JIn in an effort for better transportation rstes and facilities. It seems as though se{f-interest would in any case cause t9tm to join most heartily in such a nl2vement.
 I would not haze your club think that the purpose of this association is simply tQ. fight the railroads" It's objects are nalch broader. Every man who has had occasion to study the freight rates of the cMlntry must know that the rates on all pEpducts are much higher per ton per nsAe in the south than in the north and west; they also know that. the competi- tIqn which in other sections of the coun- trS have given shippers every possible facility. are being prevented in the south by the association of all transportation lines in one bcdy for the very purpose of Keeping up rates and preventing compe- tiron They also know that the rates for ttansportatiOn between different points lILathe south have been arbitrary, so as to@give some sections great advantages over others, and that even the rates be-
