NEW STUDENTS AT AUBURN
Young Mems Christian Association at
Alabama Polytechnic Institute

New students usually find the first few
days away from home and in the new sur
roundings of college life rather blue and
uninteresting, but not altogether unevent-
full. The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton at Auburn wishes to make things
pleasant for the homesick student and help
him to get started right; for, as is the be-
ginning, so will be the whole college life.
And as is the life in college, SO will it be
when the affairs of life become more real.
To accomplish the purpose just stated,
we are planning to meet the new students
at the trains; help them in whatever way
we can by showing them around and giving
them such information about the college,
and SO on, as old student can give; and,
assisted by the Ladies' Auxiliary, we will
give reception to the students on Friday
night, after the opening Wednesday.

CITY INTERESTS TO
COME FORWARD
At Meeting of the Commercial
Club This Afternoon.
WATER, MUSEUM, RAIL RATES
And Several Other Questions Will be
Brought Up for Clubs Cunsidera-
tion-Fare for Children Com
ing to the City Schools

The Commercial Club will hold its regu-
uar monthly meeting this afternoon at
o'clock.
Several important matters will come up
for consideration, among them being re-
Judge ]. J. Banks is chairman, which
Judge j. J. Hanks is chairman, which
appointed some time ago to investi-
gate the rates charged for water by the
Birmingham Water Works Company and
to ascertain if an agreement could be eff
fected by which reduction could be Sc
cured. This committee, it is understood,
will be ready to submit its report this af
ternoon.
Another question that has engaged the
clubs consideration in the past is that of
indorsing the bill pending in Congress pro-
viding for an appropriation OF 100000 to
the Philadelphia Commercial Museum.
This bill was Endorsed by the club several
months ago, but this action was recon-
sidered at a subsequent meeting and then
referred to committee.
The question of reduced rates on the rail-
roads for pupils coming to Birmingham to
attend school will be discussed at the
meeting this afternoon. The question was
referred to the committee on education
and schools at the last meeting of the
club.
At the last meeting a resolution was in
PRODUCED requesting the wholesale mer-
chants to grant their employees a half-hol-
day on Saturdays and this was referred
to the committee on wholesale trade
Several other questions that have been
before the club for long time will likely
come up for consideration today.
The special committee to which was re-
ferred the question of revision of the
water rates met at the Commercial Club
rooms yesterday morning for the purpose
of preparing its report. Present at the
meeting were Judge j. ]. Banks, chair
man; Mayor W. NJ. Drennen, Captain T..
S. White, w. f. Dickinson, M. f. Wood
and Superintendent George Reyer, of the
Birmingham Water Works Company
The present rates charged by the COM
pany were discussed, and the merits of
the system of charging by meter measure
and otherwise were compared. The COM
mittee will probably have its report ready
to submit to the club this afternoon.

TOLLS OF TRAVEL
By Jacob Pepperman in Visiting Odd
Fellows Lodges

Jacob Pepperman, grand master of the
independent Order of Odd Fellows, arrived
in the city yesterday from an extended
visit to lodges throughout North Alabama.
Mr. Pepperman says he visited places in
Alabama the like of which he never before
knew were in existence. On one visit to
a lodge he says he had to travel sixty miles
by private conveyance, changing teams
three times during the day, and on another
trip he had to drive thirty miles into Ten
nessee before he could reach an Alabama
lodge. The building, he said, was on the
top of high hill, which had to be climbed
afoot.
Mr.. Pepperman says he met some Of the
best people in the world ON his recent trip,
and he feels that his experience resulted
in much good for both himself and the
various lodges.

all of the towns along the line have IN
