Awaiting the Announcement.

It was announced this morning that the Board of Arbitration which has the dif- ferences between operators and miners under consideration, were working hard and would likely have the award ready for the public by tomorrow noon, if not sooner. The five members are giving the matter much attention and have been holding steady and lengthy sessions right along since the taking of testimony was completed. Judge Gray of Delaware, and Recorder Neill. of Washington, do not expect to leave here until Monday or Tuesday morning next. The stenograph- CTS work covered 7S6 pages and the most of these have been read over by the members of the Board and thoroughly discussed pro and con. Recorder Neill refused today to make any statements which would be an intimation as to what the award will contain. Arrange ments were made for a stenographer at any time, day or night, so that when the Board has about completed the dis cussions among themselves they can be- gin the preparation of the award. It is believed that the decision will be lengthy but comprehensive. The district is still anxiously awaiting the announcement of the award Both operators and miners are still confident that they are going to get the best of the award.

 Opelika, Aug. H.-(Special) )-The pro- posed road law for Lee County is creat-- ing considerable discussion. It does in- crease the number of office holders and taxation. but how it is expected to work the roads without overseers and without expense is not known. The opposition to it seems to blame w. NJ. Bass, the new Tax Collector for the movement when, as matter of fact, he has nothing to do with it, except he was made chairman of small subcommittee to advertise the bill which was prepared by a meeting called by Judge Renfro.
 Tax Assessor J. B. Butler, who assessed the Opelika Sewer Company at $75 GOO af- ter they failed to make returns, has ap- pealed from the decision of the Commits sioners' Court of this county, which put the reduced amount to Sl0,0O0 The matter will be fought out in the Circuit Court and will then go higher, it is said. The sewer company has a modern, first-class sewerage system, covering practically all of Opelika.
 It is estimated that not less than $75,00O of improvements have been in progress here at any time within the last four years. Workmen can hardly be had to supply the great demand and there are not enough residences here for the peo- pie.

Fish Elected by Volcanoes.

The stories of dead fish thrown out
by volcanoes have been revived by the
recent West Indian catastrophes. In
particular, great quantities of them
are reported tot have been cast into
the sea from the Island of st. Vincent.
1t is pointed out by French expert,
M. Girardin, that these fish are sim.
ply the denizens of the lakes formed
in the craters during their long peri
DDS of inactivity. A crater first be-
comes clogged. then fills with water,
and the water is in time peopled with
fish that find access to it through sub
terranean channels. When volcanic
activity is resumed the first thing that
occurs is an explosion that blows the
lake--water, fish and all-into the air,
and distributes it ever the neighbour
ing land and water surface.-Success.

New Berlin, H.. March 16th.--Mr.
Frank Newton of this place speaks
very earnestly and emphaticaIly when
asked by any of his many friends the
reason for the very noticeable i'm
provement in his health.
For long time-oyer two years--he
has been suffering a great deal with
pains in his back and an all-over feel
ing of illness and weakness. His APP
petite failed him and he grew gradu-
ally weaker and weaker till he was
very much run down.
A friend recommended Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and Mr.. Newton began TO
take two at a dose three times day.
In very short time he noticed an i'm
provement; the pains left his back
and he could eat better. He kept on
improving and now he says:
yes, indeed! | am different man
and Dodd's Kidney Pills did it all. /
cannot tell you no wmuch better feel.
I am new man and Dodd's Kidney
Pills deserve all the credit"
