BURNETT REJOICED.
Populists Have Given Him Street to
 Walk Over.

Easonville, Sept. 22.-(Special)-Hon. J. L. Burnett, of Gadsden, nominee for con- gress of this district, spoke here last night to a very enthusiastic crowd The people were favorably impressed with MT. Burnett as he seems to be one among them. He IS very confident of his success, and expresses his thanks to the popusts for giving him a street to walk over en route to Washing ton.
 The business center of our city was con- siderably disturbed yesterday by the an- nouncement that new postmaster had been appointed for this place. George Harderick, the present incumbent has held the office for twelve years, always meeting the approval of the people, and there was no desire on the part of the people of this place to have him removed under any ad- ministration. He will now have to walk out and give the place to one W. H. Miller, a nonresident of the town. Mr. Hard wick is a deserving man on account of his infirmity, not having been able to walk in a number of years.
 Mr. D. M. W ate is in Birmingham on business.
 There has been turned into this market near 200 bales of cotton.

 Devotional exercises were conducted by President Keener. after which he made an impressive address to the new student body. He emphasized the importance of the col lege man appreciating his opportunity. He said:
 Young man, you should grasp this fact the opportunity of your life is between the years of Is and 21. The seed sown dur ing this period you will reap for forty years. It is hard for young man to real ize that fact, but at no period in life will your faculties be brighter and quicker at no other period will the elasticity of your nature be so great. and at no period in life will you have the time that is now at your disposal.
 ''The Southern University was establish- ed to make men. We do not want man to press a button. We not here sim ply to touch one side of the man, but to develop the young man and fit him for the glorious opportunities of life We are here to start the young man out with a recogni- tion and appreciation of his own person. ality, and teach him that man is not machine. And not until the last not until the grand cap stone is placed, can the real strength of the foundation be tested"
 Owing to the inc.emency of the weather the opening exercises were not as largely attended by the citizens as usual; but the chapel was well filled with students. Wi h 120 students at the opening there is good reason to believe that the university will enroll between 175 and 2o0 during the en- suing term.
 By the first of November President Keen- nE 4Hti1 hax- led A1,ra dt. torum it will have seating capacity of nearly twice that of the old chapel and will be quite addition to the college, which has been constantly improving un- der Dr. Keener's administration. Pros- poets are fayora ble for a very prosperous year.
