The college and Mt. Pleasant Normals

The game opened at three o'clock in

inning it seemed that Alma had it all
her own way as she run III five scores to
the Normals' one. After this an excit-
ing and interesting game went on until
the eighth inning, Mt. Pleasant gaining
one score in the third and Alma two in
the sixth From the beginning Of the
eighth hard hitting was done, and the
Normals ran in six scores, leaving the
score eight to seven in their favor; but

SARAH RERNHARDT,

Washington Cor. Chicago Record.
 During her present American tour Sarah Bernhardt will receive the largest compen- sation ever given to theatrical perform er-S100O each and every time she appears, with a certain number of appearances guaranteed. During her previous tour F. the United States she received the same amount, but furnished her own company. This time she payes her own personal ex- penses, which are considerable for she travels with retinue. She has businecs manager to look after her interests, phy sician to care for her health, masseure nurse a maid and man servant. Bern hardt has probably received more money than any actress ever upon the stage, but has not kept cent of it She is always in debt Her diamonds are always in pawn and she does not know what becomes of the enormous sums that have been paid her.
 Coquelin, the comedian who supports her, receives $500 for every performance.

Coal from Pittsburu,

There has really been a coal famine in this district ever since the opening of the year 1899. This famine, now nearly two years old still prevails, although the years coal product of the State will probably ex- ceed S5OOOOO tons. It should be carried to necessary delay. More mines and more miners are needed. A score of new open il gs should be made, for the demand is widening every day.
 It is a reflection upon this district that coal is still brought from Pittsburg, 200o miles away, to the Lower Mississippi. Tn all," says one account, '112 coal boats and 9i barges left this port today. This, &C., cording to an official of the River Coal Company, will bring the aggregate shipped since the first of the rise appeared close to 11OOO,OOO bushels, and twice as much more is loaded and ready for shipment. During the past sixty hours the Ohio river has fallen about feet, but excellent coal boat water still remains in the stream, and indications are it will last for some time Nearly every boat owned by the River Coal Company has been pressed into service, and probably today the last steamer until others return will leave for the South with tow"
 As soon as the Warrior is opened and the Lake Borgne canal is completed this bus- ness must be pressed back to up-the-river points, for Alltdma coal can then be laid down in New Orleans at prices that Pitts burg cannot compete with. It will be the survival of the fittest in the Lower Missis. sippi, and when Alabama coal has as good water facilities as the government lorg ago gave to Monongahela coal, 1t will drive out the latter from territory that is properly out of its range. Pittsburg coal appears today in New Orleans by means of govern ment favor, and Alabama coal seeks nc lnore-not so much, in fact-from the gov ernment than Pittsburg readily secured.

New Orleans Industrial Convention.

Today at New Orleans will be assembled Q convention fully one thousand strong, gathered from nearly every state in the Union. About three thousand delegates have been named by governors, mayors and industrial organizations, and it is be- lieyed one thousand of them will attend the convention. Thus an affair that was mot promising in the beginning bids fair to be imposing at the ending.
 This convention will be so large and representative that its endorsement of the Nicaragua canal and of the Warrior river improvement becomes desirable and influ- entiai. These two waterways are parts of one whole. The Birmingham district can- not send its heavy products to the Pacific dn large quantities unless the Nicaragua canal be built, and the Nicaragua cannot take tolls from such products unless they can first be barged to the sea. The two natu-ally go together, and when the con- vention endorses one it should endorse the other.
 This district will stand solidly on its feet, ready to enrich all the South, if the War r.or can be speedily opened to slackwater navigation Birmingham is not demanding a Ship canal as Pittsburg does; it wants

WicKERsHAM's INSPECTION.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 President c. A. Wickersham of the At lanta and West Point made a somes;i,.s... unique inspection trip over his road recent ly. Ordinarily when the president goes inspecting he travels in a private car and puts on a good deal of style. But ---ere are no frlls about MT. Wickersham as an i'm spector When he inspects he means to in- spect. So when he left Atlanta recently he went out on the big engine that pulls the No. 37 passenger train. MT. Wicker sham didn't exactly take the fireman's job, but he took the seat and kept 1t until ope- lika was reached It ssrumored that the president also got holdFof the throttle for a while and that he opened out and carried No. 37 along at a record-brealxing gait. The next day MT. Wickersham returned from Opelika on a freight. He left the Alabama town in the caboose, but he could not see well enough there and soon got on top of the train, so that no detail might escape him. The Atlanta and West Poin! people say that MT Wickersham now knows every curve grade, bridge and cul- vert between here and Opelil1a.

but six-foot year-round channel in the Warrior-a channel for towing boats and barges.
 And New Orleans is deeply interested in this improvement, because it will virtually be an extension of its Lake Borgne canal to the iron, steel and coal district of Ala bama. Such an extension would give the port of New Orleans access to heavy freight only three hundred miles away. It would then have a base of such exports and sup plies in Birmingham instead of in Pitts burg, a saving in distance and time that New Orleans cannot afford to disregard. It would vastly strengthen New Orleans importance as a port, while it would of course aid the mineral district of Alabama. The Alabama delegation to the convention should act with the New Orleans in this matter and both should be able to secure an endorsement of the Lake Borgne and Warrior river waterways that Congress will be apt to heed.

Health of Governor Sanford.

The protracted and severe illness of Gov ernor Sanford plainly calls for a long spell of recuperation, and nothing would better conduce to complete recovery than every possible relief from care and anxiety An early adjournment of the Legislature to seme day weeks, if not months, in the fu- ture would be helpful, because it would lieye Governor Sanford of hundred anxie- ties
 But the best and most thorough relief N. be found in the temporary service of President of the Senate Jelks as Governor. There many executive duties that private secretary cannot perform, and GOV ernor Sanford will not now be disturbed by these duties while he is fighting his way back to health and strength. The consttu- tion of the State contemplates the service of the President of the Senate in an emer- gency like the present, and it is subject of reorganization that Governor Sanford has, as his own best help, and therefore for the good of the State, called the President Of the Senate to his relief while he is re- covering his strength. The chances are that this is the true way in which he can re- cover his health.
 The President of the Senate may have to serve as Governor during the Legislative recess, which will doubtless be long enough to cover the period of Governor Samfords convaescence. As the Governor and the President of the Senate are wholly in ae- cord personally as well as politically and as the President of the Senate has no axe to grind or machine to build, it is altogether best that President of the Senate Jelks should be called for the time being to ex- ecutiye duties in an emergency well covered by the constitution, chiefly because Gov ernor Samford's recovery to health should be the first consideration.

EDWIN MARKHAM's LATEST POEM

Edwin Markham contributes to the Christmas number of Success a new work entitled '"The Mighty Hundred Years" In Mr. Markham's poem the Muses stand be- fore the Norns, the gods of mythology, that gave all men birth, and tell the his tory of the world. The following are a few stanzas from this great piece, illus trating the growth of the world from the death of the dark ages:
 THE MIGHTY HUNDRED YEARS. "One mighty gleam, and old horizons broke! All the vast gimmering outline of the
 whole
 Swan on the vision, shifting, at one stroke The ancient gravitation of the soul. "All things came circling in one cosmlc
 dance,
 One motion older than the ages are; Swung by one law, one purpose, one ad-
 vance,
 Serene and steadfast as the morning star "Men trace the spacious orbits of the law, And find it is their shelter and their
 friend;
 For there, behind its mystery and awe, Gods sure hand presses to blessed end. And so man pushes toward the secret
 vast
 Up through the storm of stars, skies
 upon skies; And down through circling atoms, nearing fast
 The brink of things, beyond which chaos
 lies.
 "Yea, in the shaping of a grain of sand, He sees the law that made the spheres
 to be-
 Sees atom-worlds spun by the hidden hand To whirl about their small aclyone. "With spell of wizard science on his eyes And augment on his arm, he probes
 through space; Or pushes back the low, unfriendly skies, To feel the wind of Saturn on his face. "He walks abroad upon the zodiac, To weigh the world in balances; to fuse Suns in his crucible, and carry back The spheral music and the cesmic news"

THE MORRISON CASE.
OIin Castle Was on the Witness Stand
 Five Hours.

Eldorado, Kan, December 3.-Olin Cas- tie was on the witness stand for five hours today, during which time he detailed his relations with Jessie Morrison before the latter's fatal quarrel with Mrs. Castle. It was not disclosed that his relations with Miss Morrison had been any but those of a friend. It was shown that he had taken Miss Morrison riding, had accepted ties from her and received letters from her, the latter after he had become engaged to Miss Wiley, who afterwards became Mrs. Cas- tie Castle admitted showing some of the letters to Miss Wiley, and that they made her angry with Miss Morrison; he also ad- mitted that Miss Morrison had never threatened his f1ance, but instead, had made friendly overtures to her It was made plain that jealousy existed between the two women. Just before Castle was dismissed the attorney for the defense, looking the witness squarely in the face and speaking slowly, asked
 You have told all that there was in your relations with Jessie Morrison?'
 The witness did not finch when he re- plied Yes sir"
 There was nothing more intimate than what you have told?"
 No sir
 Later in the week Miss Morrison will take the stand in her own defense.

SUBSIDY BILL.Z
Will DispIace spooner Philippine slIl
 on the Calander.

Washington, December 3.-The Republi- can Senatorial committee on order of bus mess this afternoon decided that the ship ping bill should displace the Spooner Phil ippine bill as the unfinished business. It also decided that tine Hay-Pauncefote treaty should receive alternate attention with the shipping bill The arrangements provides that the shipping bill shall have preference but that when no one is pre- pared to make a speech on it. the Senate shall go into executive session for the con- sideration of the treaty and will be put in force tomorrow.
 The arrangement further provides that if the army bill reaches the Senate prior to the disposal of the shipping bill or the treaty either or both of these may be dis placed temporarily in order to permit the prompt consideration of that measure. The same understanding prevails regarding the appropriation bills. Senator Morgan's Me araguan canal bill will probably wait upon the Senate's action on the treaty.
