Haylow. one of the best Known apd most popular young railroad officials, of this city, died yesterday evening at 6:3O o'clock, at the residence of his father-in- la, James Donavan, No. 722 North Seven tenth street, after a lingering illness. The end came peacefully ith those dearest to him at his bedside.
 MT. Haylow came to Birmingham ten years ago and accepted a position with the Louisville and Nashville railroad company. Since that time he won promotion through merit until, at the time of his death, he was chief train dispatcher fo rthe Bir- mingham Mineral division.

spanish at the University of Alabama

As the state press seems interested in this matter, I beg to say through your columns that Spanish may take the place of French in any course in the universty; that two modern languages being required for any degree, Spanish may be elected as one of them, or it may be elected by any special or eclectic student.
 The instructor will be Dr. George G. Brownell, who is represented by one of his endorsers as perhaps knowing more of the Spanish language and literature than any man of his age (20 in America" Having taken in succession the degrees of Bachelor and Master of Arts at Syracuse uhivefsity he spent a year each in Italy and Spain studying their language and literature. Later. he spent three years at the Johns Hopkins university taking there the degree of D., with these (Romance) languages as his leading subjects. The university is fortunate to secure him. Very truly yours,
