The A, & Is. In Alabama.

A Talledega, Ala, paper says:
The surveyors of the mysterious
Brunswick and Birmingham rail-
road have crossed the line of
Clay county and are now near
ing Talladega, with their camps
stuck near Chinabee Mills. They
are as mum as oysters, but are
surveying. A telegram from Way
cross, Ga, says the B. & B. and
the B. & A. have formed a
com bination, so these lines may
soon fill in the gaps and the
former get to Birmingham, and
the latter get to the coast.
There is also a rumor that
the Frisco system is behind the
whole thing, with the Seaboard
as an ally, and that the Atlantic
and Pacific will be their termi.
nj, with Talladega as the head
and center; and with the furnace
in the hands of the Woodstock
people.
There are all kinds of rumors,
as the knowing oneslook wise and
say nothing. And as they will
not tell them thing or two
until we get few stocks cor
nered; and then we'll see what's
what, and who is who. But the
A. & B. is safe though!

AS To BRYIN.\

The editor Of The Macon Tel
egraph appears to be perfectly
sane until William J. Bryan says
something. And Bryan keeps
talking -Albahy Herald.
Yes, he keeps talking" And
the Democratic party was per-
fectly sane until Bryan began
"talking"-unti1 he filched from
another that profane speech
about the crown of thorns" and
cross of gold " Under his lead
ership the party has. suffered
two terrible defeats. It has lost
practically every senator and
every governor north of Mason
and Dixon's line. 1t has depart
ed from the men and the princi-
pies which brought it success,
and it has degenerated to mere
opposition party. And yet this
Mr.. Bryan, to criticise whom
gives the editor of the Herald so
much and so often pain these
days, keeps talking" and as
Stunning that he is the almighty
IT of the world in general and the
Democratic party in particular.
If The Telegraph shows eviden-
ces occasionally of Impotence
with this Popu1ist, foisted in an
evil hour upon the Democracy, it
is perhaps because The Te1e-
graph has understood him from
the start, and saw in the very
beginning the great error COM
mitted by the party when it
stopped and stopped to pick him
up out of another party, and
place him on the party pedestal
where great men had sat and
wieldedin wisdom the party scep-
ter.
The Telegraph has always
told the truth about Bryan, and it
will continue in the good work to
the end. He is Populist; he is
not a Democrat He is a man
with one idea-an enthusiast, and
not a statesman. He does not
grasp mentally as high as the
thinking men of the country, and
therefore can neither teach nor
lead them.
People who cannot bear to hear
the truth about this smallest
specimen that has yet come to
the front as a leader CT the Dem
ocracy must take to the woods
and stop their ears.-Telegraph.

High School Notes

busy taking written reviews it
has not had any time to mako
news.
The program on Scott Friday
afternoon was very interesting.
The Lyceum program for this
week is as follows:
/. Music.
2. Essay-Pau1 Higgins.
3. Recitation-Fannie Hage-
man.
4. instrumental solo Ma b Ell
Cool.
6. Debate-Resolve d, That
there should be an educational
qualification for suffrage.

Neg. Robert Owen, Jeanie
Rue, Ralph Allen.
6. Vocal so1o-Miss Thomp-
son.
7. Puzz1e-Bertha Andrews.
8. Impromptu Speeches.
9. Music.
The impromptu speec hes,
which are regular feature of
the Friday afternoon programs,
are proving to be a great help to
the pupils.
The Kappa Delta Kappa met
Friday evening at the home of
Mr.. Clifford Plopper. THE
meeting was an unusually inter-
esting one. Instead of debate
there was a lectuM by D. Ed
ward Griffin, which was the most
brilliant feature of the evening.
Mr.. Griffin is last years gradu-
ate and his lecture reflected great
credit on the high school. A
quartet composed of Miss Thomp-
son, Bertha Andrews, Lulu Ry-
man and Florence Miller, rem
dered a selection. Prof. Swat
ford gave the club a puzzle and
offered a book as a reward to the
winner. Miss Bertha Andrews
received the prize. An old fa-
miliar song was sung by all the
the club and if the song was not
perfectly rendered, at least it was
enjoyed by all. After a reading
by Prof. Swafford from "Lazarre"
the club adjourned to meet Fri
day, Oct. 23rd, with Prof. and
Mrs. STAFFORD.
Several members of the tenth
and eleventh grades are going to
enjoy a treat Saturday. Miss
Vesta Jacobs has invited them to
spend the day with her at her
home few miles out of town.
The high school girls expect to
organize basketball team in the
near future.
Miss Thompson has request
ed three of the high school girls
to write school song which may
be sung to some familiar tune.
The boys themselves recesses
by playing shinney.
In writing Of the Kappa Delta
Kappa we neglected to mention
that Miss Lula Ryman entertain
ed the club by relating several
amusing anecdotes. The club
realizes the fact that storytelling
is almost a lost art and hence
forth the telling of stories will be
feature of every meeting.
