 College at 0wenton,
WAS ELECTED YESTERDAY
Rev. E. M. Glenn, of Atlanta, WiIf Fill the Chair of EngIish-ExceIent Reports Made at
 Meeting of the Committee.

 Reports from the agent and the building committee were read and both were emil nently satisfactory. The report of Rev. Brandon, who was appointed to visit all the churches and solicit subscriptions, showed that the congregations of the vari- ous churches are in hearty accord with the project and had responded liberally with money to assist in the good cause
 The contract has been let for the com pletion of the first building at Owenton, and its terms requires that the building be completed by the 18th of August in or der that full work may be entered on by the opening of the next scholastic year. The other buildings will be begun as soon as the necessary money can be raised ana judging from the liberal manner i'll which the churches have answered the first call the money for the erection of the remain ing buildings will be forthcoming.
 After the reading of the reports, the com mIttee entered into the election of a fac ulty for the new college. Rev. z. A Par ker was elected president, and Rev. E. M Glenn, of Attalla was chosen professor of English The rest of the faculty will be elected at a future meeting of the com mittee.
 Revs Parker, Glynn and Robertson were appointed as a committee to formulate g curriculum. Their work will be completed by November
 All the members of the committee who were present were greatly encouragd by the outlook and are confident that the college will open at the appointed time and with a full quota of pupils.
 The selection of Rev. Parker as president is considered a most excellent one and meets with universal satisfaction.

 The jail Is filled to overfiowing, and each day sees moro unfortunates added to the already overcrowded prison. The police and sanitation committee with Mayor Ey- ans and Alderman Altman added, now has the question of the disposition of the con victs under consideration. They will sug- gest remedy and their report will un- doubtedly be adopted by the city council.
 Mayor Evans said yesterday to an Age Herald reporter that his plan for a stockade will merely be offered to tine committee as a suggestion and that he himself had not thought it out in all it's details The scheme appears to be a plausible one, and the com mtttee will no doubt consider the matter with due deliberation Their report will most likely be rendered at the next meeting of the city council
