HOWARD COLLEGE
FREED FROM DEBT
Educational institution is Now
Independent.
MONEY PAID YESTERDAY
The Bonded Indebtedness of 100000
Was Liquidated Along With the
$4,000 Floating Debt, Be-
sides Smaller Claims.

Yesterday the entire debt of Howard COL
lege at East Lake was paid, and the college
is now in position to carry on its great
work of education freed from an overhang-
cided at that hour to pay at once the $1,000
which the newly completed church at
Greensboro has cost.
The following gentlemen, representing
the board of trustees of Howard college,
and the Baptist church of the state, met
yesterday in the banking house of Steiner
Bros. and transacted the above important
business: Dir. B. D. Gray, president of the
board of trustees of the college and chair
man of its executive committee; DR.. w. B.
Crumpton secretary of the state board stf
missions; DR.. A. C. Davidson, of the South
side Baptist church; DR.. W. A. Hobson, of
the East Lake Baptist church; Dr. G. C.
Jones. of East Lake; D. L. Lewis. of Syca-
more, and Robert Jemison, president of the
East Lake Land company, were all
present.
The Bonded Debt
The debts that were paid off through
Steiner Bros. consisted of $4,000 of 5 per
cent. bonds, issued to the college by the
Union Trust company of Philadelphia, on
July 7, 1890, when Captain w. C. Ward was
president of the board of trustees, and DR..
B. F. Riley, was president of the college.
The floating debt of the college, amount
Ing to $4,000 was also paid.
Also the debts of the Alabama State Bap-
list convention on account of state mis-
sions amounting to $780, and on account
of ministerial education, amounting to
$1,000.
The above items make a grand total of
$S7,OO0 all of which was paid off yester-
day.
After all of this money was paid over it
was decided that the $1,000 debt on the new
house of worship which has just been erect
ed at Greensboro, as provided for by the
state convention held at Opeliza last fall,
should be paid at once. The convention
provided for paying this debt by October,
but after conference with some of the lay
men, it was decided to pay off the debt at
once.
Untiring Work
the removal of the debt from Howard COL
lege-means everything for the future of
the institution, and the Baptist church of
the state is to be congratulated for the
manner in which they have done the work.
But no mention of this important event
would be complete without words of COM
menda ton for Dr. B. D. Gray, president of
the board of trustees, and DR.. A. G. David
son, a member of the board, who have la
bored so faithfully in removing this debt.
They have been working night and day,
many times, and devoting all their energies
toward wiping out the debt by the time of
the college commencement the middle of
last month, but they were not quite able to
make it at that time. Yesterday, however
saw the successful completion of their
work, and the great college at East Lake
will always be a memorial of the splendid
work they have done.

EXCITING ELECTION
In MILITARY CIRCLES
Contest for Higher Offices Of the
Third Regiment.
MAJ. SMITH TO BE COLONEL
And Maj. osceola Kyle Lieutenant-Col-
onel-For the Majorities There is
Sharp Competition Among
Numerous Applicants

The officers of the Third Alabama Ma
very exciting political campaign over the
election of its commanding officers, al
though excitment has been worked up so
quietly that the public in general has heard
but very little about it.
AS will be remembered. the national
guard was practically broken up in May,
1898, when the two United States volunteer
regiments were formed, although all Of the
officers continued holding their commissions
in the national guard. Last winter, how
ever, when the legislature passed the bill
for recognizing the national guard it pro-
vided tht all of the officers above the cap
tains should be declared vacant and new
officers elected in their stead. ALI of the
captains and lieutenants were to hold their
commissions, provided the adjutsnt gen.
eral did not think IL best to do away with
the companies in certain towns and cities
and remove them elsewhere. The election
in the first regiment was fixed for next
Monday, July II.
HCol. Tom D. Smith"
For the Office of colonel there is only
one candidate, Major Tom o. Smith, of
this city, who commanded the Birmlng
ham battalion in the old national guard
and also during the war. Colonel e. L.
Hisdon, the old commander of the regi-
ment, is not a candidate for reelection.
Major Smith is very popular in military
circles, and will receive the unanimous
vote of all the officers.
The only candidate for lieutenant colonel
SC lot rbA tba
Third battalion of the First Alabama dur
ing the war. There was talk at one time
of putting out another candidate to oppose
Major Kyle, but this was never done.
For the Majorities
The lack of competition for the two high
est offices of the regiment makes them
lose interest compared with the competi-
ton that is going on for the three MAORI
ties of the regiment. At first Adjutant
General Brandon ordered election for
the colonel, lieutenant colonel and one ma
jority, but few days later another order
came providing for the election next Mon
day of two majors, making three in all.
For several months, it seems, even be-
fore the order for the election was issued,
a quiet canvass has been going On among

The following is the list of candidates up
to date, and 1t is not probable that there
will be any others:
Captain Ledbetter, of the Birmingham
Rifles.
Captain Huey. of the Bessemer Rifles
Captain Parkes, of the Woodlawn Light
Infantry.
Captain Mcconnell, of the Admission
Rifles.
Captain Harrison, of the Oxford COM
pany.
Lieutenant Brown of the Florence COM
pany.
Four of these candidates have been out
for some time but Captain Ledbetters and
Captain McConnells names have been
mentioned only during the past few days.

strength and are regarded by their friends
as sure winners.

Beautiful Brooklyn Girl the Wife of
Pasha In Morocco,

For two years past lovely Brooklyn
girl has been the fayorite wife of rich
Moor living at Tangier. She claims to
be perfectly happy, and declares that
not on any account would she leave her
present home. Some facts regarding
this remarkable young woman have
just been brought to this country by
Mrs. Haider member of the law class
of New York University. She and her
husband have returned from an extend
ed wedding tour in the course of which
they visited Tangler. While there Mr..
Haider secured, for his wife permission
to visit the harem of an enormously
wealthy pasha living in that quaint old
place. In one splendid apartment OF the
palace Mrs. Haider found the most
lovely woman she had ever seen. A
guide in whisper informed the visitor
that this was the relgning favorite. The
beautiful creature did not look like an
Oriental, and Mrs. Haider asked her a
question in French. The favorite smil-
ingly replied in English, saying that
was her native tongue. The accent sug-
gested American education, and Mrs.
Haider hinted MS much. Thereupon the

This Is the chart which the nation
offers in its race with the sun. Starting
with the eastern limits of Porto Rico
in longitude 65 degrees 30 minutes
west, with the time fixed at a. m,
the territorial limits, longitude and
time Of day follow this schedule:
New York, longitude ,76 degrees west,
time 4:15 a. M.
Chicago, longitude SO degrees west, time
3:15 a. m.
San Francisco, longitude 122 degrees

In the majority of these cases the
longitude is taken from government
charts. The others are approximated,
but so nearly that exact measurements
will not show substantial variation. 1t
will be seen, therefore, with the exact
west longitude of-Porto Rico set down
against an equally exact east longi-
tude, counting both from Greenwich
for Manila, the total distance in de
grees, etc, and hours Is fixed. The In
termediate points outside of the CONT
mental limits are estimated from theil
location on the charts and may vary
as much as couple Of degrees. This
however, would not make messs'thail
eight minutes in time variation.
