state of affairs continued that it would
probably result in bloodshed, and it
behooved the good citizens, the Chris
tian conservative people to get together,
consult, and ascertain the most availa-

Branch of the Southern.

W. B. Reynolds of Montevallo Is in the city today in conference with Superin- tendent W. N. Foreacre of the Southern, relative to a branch line the Southern proposes to build to valuable tract of coal land owned by MT. Reynolds and his father, Captain H. c. Reynolds. It is learned that they have recently ac- quired large block of the famous Mon- tevalla coal lands which is considered the finest domestic coal in the South. He said that there had never been but one company that mined on this seam and that was at Aldrich. They intend organizing a company at once and be ready for next seasons business. The Reynolds last year leased a large body of coal lands in BibD County and sold a portion of their lease. clearing something like $40.OO0 on the deal The two mines they opened will soon have an out put of a thousand tons a day.
 MT. Reynolds says the mineral branch of the Southern from MontevaIlo to Bloc ton will eventually be one of the best paying railroad properties on the system as new mines are being opened up and projected on this line. Montevallo coal, which Mir. Reynolds proposes to mine, brings 8 per ton at the mines and costs about half that amount to mine 1t, which shows where ex-Congressman Aldrich made his fortune The seam is very limited in extent and MT. Reynolds claims to own the only property aside from the Aldrich mines on which 1t can be operated.

There are already two Y, M. c. As in this city, the uptown one on Broad Street, opposite the Hotel Albert. which owns a handsome three-story structure, and the Railroad Y. M. C. A. which is located in East Selma, and which is doing a great work among the railroad boys. It Is now proposed to, spread out and have new Y. M C. A. at the Csw- thon Cotton Mills, designed especially for employees of the cotton factory and those living in that immediate neighborhood. The proposition will be submitted to the Board of directors of the Y. M. c. A. at the annual meeting in January. A build ing has already been offered for the pur- pose and it is more than likely that Selma will soon have q new Y. M. c. A. Few cities in the South the size of Selma can claim more than one Y. M. c. A. and the record will be broken when another is established. This will be pioneer work among employees of cotton mills.

CAMPAIGN FOR EDUCATION.
R. E. Pettus Suggests Establishing
 Com mitfeA

Huntsville, Dec. 30.-(Special )-Mr. R. E. Pettus, President of the Chamber of Commerce of this city, believes that the State of Alabama should name a cam paign committee to push the cause of education into the remote precincts of every county in the State. MT. Pettus said that 1t is time Alabama was doing higher on the list of education among the States There is no cause for Ala bamas being near the bottom except the lack of interest among the residents, of remote sections. These people do not care whether their children are educated or not and allowed them to grow up in the grossest ignorance.
 Mir. Pettus says that the development of Alabama's resources awaits the edu- cation of the poor white people. lie says that money spent in their education will be the best investment the State has ever made. The Chamber of Commerce will probably recommend the establish ment of a State Committee as suggested by President Pettus.
