SURVEY FOR RAILROAD
WORK ON PROPOSED DECATUR
 6 DANVILLE.
Territory Through Which the Line is to Run One of the Richest in the State-Hotel
 Fire.

Birmingham, Jan. n.-(Special )-Work on the survey of the proposed Decatur and .Danville Railroad. which is projected to run between Jasper. in Walker County, and Decatur, in Morgan County, has been commenced on the Jasper end of the line. A number of Cincinnati men who are ln- terested in the proposed railroad are Tn that section now watching the prelimin- ary work being done. The territory through which the projected road IS to operate is one of the richest in the State, and the construction of the railroad Will bring about the development or much lands now lying dormant. The proposed line from Jasper to Decatur is about eighty miles, and it is believed that when completed the road will be extended to Selma via Tuscaloosa from Jasper. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad. 1t Is intimated, is behind the new railroad, which would, if true, give that great system a strong line in an undeveloped section of the State and practically q double line through the State from De- catur to. Flomaton, giving two strong lines in the mineral belt of the State, and making it possible for the main line of that system to be relieved of no little of the traffic now being routed that way. The work on the survey from the De- catur end of the projected line will be started in the near future.

Oats Killed.

The recent cold spell killed all of the fall oats and the farmers are consequent ly blue. A great many oats had been planted throughout the the black belt in the fall on account of the short corn crop and many planters were relying on the oats to supply the shortage in corn next May and June. But the cold snap knocked out the expectations of the farmers and killed the oats completely. The consequence is they will all have to plant over this spring and as seed comes heavy on the farmers to have to -replant. But there is nothing left for them to do but to get seed oats and replant. Nothing so nils out an empty crib in June and July as a good field ot oats and the farmers know this. All of them will get seed and replant between now and the first of February. if the weather continues good. Planters have been playing in hard luck in this sec ton during the past year, but is is a long road that never turns.

Fire in a Hotel.

At 4:45 o'clock this morning fire was discovered bursting out the roof of the Opera House Hotel, the four-story build ing on the corner of First Avenue and Nineteenth Street. A general alarm was turned in and two engines were soon at work. Two streams of water were rushed to the floor, where the fire was located, besides the hose of the chemical appara- tus. In less than an hour the fire was completely under control and the flames got no further than an adjoining room from where it started. The origin of the fire Is a mystery. The room where it first started is a bath room. The build ing and furniture was damaged about $3, GOO. fully covered by insurance. The fire could have resulted disastrously had not the department been so prompt.

Hughes is Not Worried.

Dr. J. w. Hughes, the present post master at Birmingham, who was reap pointed by President Roosevelt on We'd nesday, is not worried in the least over a report sent out from Washington to the effect that his confirmation by the Senate Is being fought and efforts being made to prevent the confirmation. pr. Hughes refuses to discuss the fight which is promised against his confirmation. He was endorsed strongly by the press and business clements of Birmingham for re- appointment and during the past term made an excellent official. The state ment from Washington to the effect that charges would be brought against Dr. Hughes are not supplemented with the information as to what the charges will be. All charges heretofore made against Dr. Hughes have been met and discount ed every time, and his friends do not ap- prehent any serious difficulty in having the nomination confirmed.

colleoe Committee to Meet.

Tuesday next the Committee appointed by the last Synod of Alabama, working to the establishment of ,a Presbyterian College of high grade, will meet in the First Church of Montgomery at 10:SO a. m. Rev. A. A. Little, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this city. Is Chairman of the Committee on the Es- tablishment and location of the umVer- sity and he has taken hold of the mat ter with great vigor and determination. He is an active. aggressive man and ne thinks that there is great held nere for the establishment of school oi learning. conducted on plane tnat t,,ta VIII elevate the morals as well as cultivate the brains of the youth of Alabama ana contiguous territory.
 There seems to be little doubt at this time that such a school will be estab- lished. The Presbyterian Church Of Ala bama is wealthy and if it determines to start this school it will be success rom the very day it's doors are thrown open for the reception of students.
 Where the college will be located Is one of the questions yet to be solved Many towns have put forward claims or bids for the location, but that is ques- ton that the Committee has not yet de- termined, but will do so when the mon stitution of learning on it's feet. Cam den, Anniston, Birmingham. Montgom- cry, Selma and many other towns have been suggested as the proper place to locate the college but nothing has Yet been done along that line. The first thing that the Committee hopes to do is to raise the $150,000 to establish the school and then 1t will think about the location, health. eligibility and the in- ducements offered all being taken into consideration.
 The town that secures this school will capture a paying investment Young men from all over Alabama and adjoin- ing States will be sent there to be edu- cated and there will be from two to three hundred boarding pupils to start with, with the prospect of increasing the number. It will be seen from this that the money that these students will spend in the town will be no small item and it is to the interest of the different towns and cities in Alabama to be on the alert to capture this great school
