ga They commenced to make McElree 8

vass of the sales Of standard proprietary
medicines in leading Southern cities which
was made by one of our great newspapers.

BIG IMPROVEMENT IN
UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL

In announcements already made 1t
has been stated that in the courses
of instruction offered at the Uni
versity High School due attention
would be paid to physical culture,
though mental training would be treated
as of first Importance. We are pleased to
announce that we have just ordered
through Professor Miles an ample equip
ment for the new gymnasium at the High
School; in fact, he has been instructed to
secure for the gymnasium the best and
most "up-to-date'' equipment regardless of
expense. In addition to the equipment for
the gymnasium, we have arranged with
Professor Miles to give instructions In gym
. nastics at the gymnasium In securing the
services of Professor Miles we feel that we
have more than fulfilled our pledge to offer
every advantage for the physical as well
as the mental culture of the students of the
University High School. Professor Miles
~ too well known in Birmingham to re-
Quire an Introduction to our patrons; suf-
flee 1t to say that we count ourselves for
tInate to secure his services and to have
him officially connected with the school.

ALABAMA DEFENDED

From the Springfield Republican.
Isn't the Boston Record rather injudicial
in describing Alabama as the most back
ward, most uncivilized and most barbarous
community under our flag, perhaps not
even excluding some of our new posses
sions"? Birmingham, the center of great
coal and iron industry, is i9 Alabama. Tus-
kegee the seat of Booker T. Washingtons
institute for negroes, is in Alabama. Bir-
mingham represents Industrial progress
and Tuskegee Is only another name for CIV
ilization.
