 FULLY EXPLINED Authorities of University Make Statement About the Trouble INJUSTICE TO THE SCHOOL No One Was Alarmed at the Anony. nous Letter, and There Was No

 As 1t Was Vacation.
INJUSTICE TO THE SCHOOL

Nashville February 16-The story re- gently sent over the country to the eff feet that Chancellor Wiggins and some other members of the faculty of the Uni Versity of the South had left Sewanee be- cause of anonymous notes from supposed mountaineers warning them to leave on pain of death, has drawn from the uni- versity authorities the following state ment
 "The widespread publications of cer- tain conditions alleged to be existing at the University of the South has done much injustice to the university and has given a most unfair and erroneous state ment of the character of the people sur rounding it. The university is not a part of the system of life of a city or large town but is built on plateau of the Cumberland mountains on it's own do- main of ten thousand acres at Sewanee in Franklin County, Tennessee.
 Good Feeling Exists.
 "The native population of the Cumber- land plateau and in the valleys and coves and near the university are on terms of amity and good feeling with the university and the country people are it's. friends. The university has always been benefactor to these people, edu- eating those so desiring free of cost and furnishing profitable employment and ready market.
 The single anonymous letter picked up on the street alarmed no one and it was of no consequence and in no way rep resented any state of public feeling. There has not been the slightest degree of apprehension of danger on the part of any university official, nor any fear of property loss to the university.
 Students Had Gone Home.
 "The despatches also state that there were six hundred students in residence and that they were terrorized, whereas all the students had left for their homes at the beginning of the long vacation, December 1901 expecting to return at the beginning of the Lent term, March 20. Furthermore most of the professors and officers of the institution had also gone away for a rest or vacation as they do every winter: and the vice chancellor went to Charleston for a similar purpose. but not until several weeks after the anonymous letter was found. He return ed to Sewanee for few days in conse- quence of the sensation created by the despatches.
 Tt is proper to state that the newspa- per in which the sensational article first appeared has in response to request by the university given the source of their information, and it appears that it came from parties who do not live in Sewanee and who were simply perpetrating hoax or joke, not expecting any publication to result

Why did YOU quit Coffee?

which must be replaced day by day, or the brain and other parts of the body will not act properly.
 Coffee is a hidden but powerful enemy to ones progress in life. It's subtle. nar- cotic poison weakens the heart. interferes with digestion and has definite and de- structive effect on the nervous system. People who are content to load them selves with impediments to progress, who refuse to supply body with food and drink of the kind needed to make up for the daily disintegration of nerve and tissue, must stand aside in the race for pre- eminence.

TUSCALOOSA

Tuscaloosa, February 16.-(SpeciaL)- The board of mayor and aldermen held a special session yesterday afternoon at which time a right of way through the city was granted the Mobile and West Alabama Railroad. One block was sold to be used as a railway station. Judge Austil, president of the railroad was present and made very satisfactory talk, he said that the prospect was that work would begin in twelve months. The bonds will be placed in Chicago and the road will be made a trunk line from Mo bile to Chicago. When the road reaches Florence it will be connected with the Florence and Phosphite Railroad, which runs only a short distance from Nash vile. From Nashville it will connect with a short line that runs to Henderson, Ky. At this point it will be connected with ether short lines and will make one solid trunk line from the gulf to the Great Lakes. This road will be boon to Chi agos wholesale merchants, who for so many years have been laboring to do business in the south without freight facilities and rates.

Dadeville, February 1G.-(SpeciaD-1n Alabama the residents of each little city talk of some special feature when try Ing to secure the location of investors or home-seekers. Not a few ascribe to coal fields the powers for attracting desirable additions. Some others talk of Iron ore, cotton. marble, gold and sundry other properties None are but have some one or two things to talk about. Here have been told of history, of cotton of farms and of riches.
 Dadeville proper Is on the Central of Georgia railroad. in the center of TaIla- poosa county, and surrounded by farm lands rich in the producton-ehtehy or cotton. but also corn and other products of the sweat of the brow possible for cultivation in the state. It has popula- ton mum bering something like 15oO, nearly all of whom were born and bred within its precincts. It is the county seat of Tallapoosa. But these facts are not what I was told. They are written for the ben eft of the few who have not heard some thing of the place in the past.
 One of the first points mentioned in my conversation with a prominent citizen about the city was the fact that it was the home of Simon Suggs.' Of course you know that this is a character made famous the world over by Harper's book of that name
 It was the home of the widely known and brave Gen. M. J. Bulger whose death occurred several months ago, and who had friends in every portion of the South who revereneed him for his fight ing. This old general was 100 years old at the tim of his demise. He was strong and active until few days before the

Money in Vaults.

There are few cities in Alabama pos sessed of more riches than this little place. All has been made here, too. The people are industrious and economical They know how to spend what is sufti- cient and to place the other part in banks and bags. They have known this for years and now they are not without that which is necessary for the passage of life in modern times
 An amount of cotton varying from 1000 to 10000 bales is handled here every year. It comes from the farms surrounding the city and is brought to the market by means of wagons. The prices paid by the buyers equal those offered almost any where and attract to the town. The merchants also do a paying business in fertilizers. In fact in the city is situated fertilizer factory, run in connection with an oil mill which gives employment to a large number of laborers.
 An illustration of the ability of the people of the city to make and save money is given in a peculiarly forceful manner by a review of the business life of the two Sturdivant boys-B. B. and '1omas S. They are now proprietors of the Sturdivant Bank, the latter being cashier and the former president of the institution In 1881 they began mercantile business with $1O50 in cash. They con- timed in that work until few years ago. when they entered the banking husi- ness. Today they are worth as much as S1Oo. 900. Many others have had an equal success The names of these two are given merely because they come to mind first I could give other names equally as quick.

Home of Politicians.


 The town was also the home of the great former Congressman David Culber- son. It was the birth place of the old mans son, the present Senator culberson of Texas, who is rapidly forging his way to a front equally as much on the bril- liant line as that reached by the elder.
 Many other prominent and unique char acters known throughout the country reg istered from Dadeville when visiting
 Near the little city is the Horse Shoe Bend about which General Jackson had his last fight with Indians. In this bat tie he completely annihiliated Chief With erbys forces. The old breastworks which tended protection to the fighting men are still to be seen. It Is now in evidence as picnic ground and is favorite place for love-making on May-days while sun rays puncture tree limbs.
 An idea of the historical importance of Tallapoosa County may be gained from the fact that it's creeks still are called names of Indian percentage. Some of them are: Chattasfka, Oakfuskee Kowa- liza, Sorgahatchee Hatchet, Buck Big Sandy and Tallapoosa river.
 If you have time to listen many of the older inhabitants of the country about the town can tell you of many fights, and other incidents worthy of being placed on record and interesting enough to re- peat. All these old men are good takers and make you forget that new times call for tales of the Philippines or of times when San Juan hills were climbed by such men as the President of the nation. The deeds of valor are equal to any of 4l l.a them told by these elders. I dare not write them.
