safe TO say that the problem OF lighting
has been one that has received the
most attention In the past, Many mu-

OF operating their own plants, with
more or less success, while others have
granted franchises 10 local companies,
which operate them IN the joint inter-

STETSON COLLEGE
HAS BIG ATTENDANCE.

DeLand, Fla, Oct. 2.-The opening of
the Stetson University Wednesday was
encouraging to the friends of the school
in the highest degree. Those who have
been on the ground and watched the
trend of events are surprised at the
admirabl showing after the bitter fight
made against the school. The resigna-
ton of DR.. Forbes came so late that it
was thought that it could make but lit
tie difference, but the situation is now
very encouraging for very large at
tendance this year. .-. ..+.t
The enrolment up to Wednesday
night was only a few less than last
year and insures it's reaching over 400
before the end of the school year. Only
a few of the Northern students who
have made reservations are here yet.
The enrollments in the Tech" School
are so large as to make it necessary
to separate the regular students in this
branch from the academic students who
take manual training as part of their
work.
The machine shop is now fully equip
ped, and will be in operation as soon
as the students can get to work. This
shop was. not in operation last year,
and is valuable addition to the equip
ment. The Business College starts with
a very large number and with many
additions and improvements.

ATHENS OLDEST BUILDING
shows Signs of Dissolution aud
Must Be Removed.

Must Be Removed.
Athens, Ga, Oct. 2.-The oldest
house in the city of Athens will in
all probability have to be pulled down
within a short time. That house is
the old dormitory on the campus of
the University of Georgia, known to
the alumni of that institution as the
"Summey' house and as the "Yahoo
Hall" This old building marked the
beginning of the University of Geor-
gla and was the first building erect
ed in the city of Athens. 1t was built
IN 1901 on the spot selected by Gov.
Milledge, who owned the land and gave
1t to the University of Georgia
A few days ago Prof, Charles NJ.
Strahan noticed small crack in the
eastern wall of the building. He paid
particular attention to it, as the old
building was badly Jared up by the
earthquake of 1886 and had to be braced
then with iron girders. The crack
was, larger the next day and the stu
dents rooming in that end of the dor
mitory were notified to move out, which
they have done. Iron girders will be
run through the walls and clamped
on the outside, as to make the build
ing safe sat leastNuntil the meeting of
the trustees in Tune.
At that time the question of a new
dormitory will be up to that body,
as it is believed that the life of the
venerable old building has about come
to a close, OF course the sentiment
that clings around the old building
as the starting point of the University
of Georgia and the city of Athens will
protect it from destruction so long as
there is any chance to preserve it, but
its days of usefulness are over

ANCIENT DISEASE.
Smallpox First Described by Arabs
in Sixth Century.
From American Medicine

From American Medicine.
o The literary as we'll as the patho-
logic history of smallpox presents many
items of very special interest. All
readers of the cIouded annals of the
Middle Ages are acquainted with the
fact that Arabian writer's were for
many centuries the recognized apostles
of philosophy and physical science-in-
GLIDING the sundry departments of med
icine and surgery---to the various ma
tions of Western Europe. And it is to
one of these, Abu Becker Mahommed
ben Zechariah "a. D. S50-932), the earli-
est and most original of all the great
/ Moslem physicians, that medical sci
ence and medical literature are indebt-
ed for the first recognition of smallpox
as a distinct disease, and it's first de-
Scription in written language. This
venerable authority is generally known
|. TO posterityt as Rhazes, a name which
he derived from Raj, the place of his
birth.
His original description of this for
midabe disease has been made familiar
Ito English sir9nuirers through the me-
tdfum of DIR. Green hits translation. In
addition to his observations on disease
proper, the powers of observation Of
Rhazes in physioghoiny are demon
strated bv such items of Information
as; "A man with large ears is stupid,
but long lived!" and in rational thera-
peutics, by his recommendation of the
practice of the game of chess as cure
for meIanchOlia. The antiquity of
smallpox is, as might we'll be expect
ed. lost in the mist of ages; but the
definite statement has been made by
Aram historians that it first appeared
in the Abyssinian army of Abraha at
the siege of Mecca in the course of the
sn-called elephant War" of A. d. 500

PEABODY LIBRARY

Athens, Ga, Oct. 2.-Mr. GEORGE
Foster Peabody has authorized the au-
thorities of the University of Georgia
to add contracts for the steam heat

is giving to the university.
This new gift Of Mr.. Peabody runs
the cost of the new library building to
the $4,000 mark. The original propo-

university a library building to cost
from 100000 to $4,000.
The work on the new library build

are now busy with the work of laying

Carrier Pigeon Flies Into His Of

my Darling Henry"
Washington, Sept. 29.-Postnaster
General Payne was standing at the
open window of his private office late
yesterday afternoon talking to friend
when, something round and soft and
feathery darted out of the sky, brush
ed Mr.. Paynes cheek and fell in a
heap or the floor. The Postmaster
General, after a moment of startled
surprise, stopped and picked up a
painting and very tired carrier pigeon.
Around one of the birds legs was a
tiny silver band engraved with the
initials IF. ]. t. and d number. 4219."
The other leg carried a tiny metal
cylinder. t-
Curious it should come in here" re-
marked the Postma ster General.
Perhaps it's message from Miss
Todd, said the friend with a glance
at the initials on the silver band
Mr.. Payne didn't think it worth while
to reply to this, but after giving the
pigeon a drink from the engraved sill
yer tankard reserved for Congressional
and other visitors of prominence, ne
undid the clasp of the little cylinder,
thinking that he might he able to re-
turn the bird to it's owner. The cylin-
der contained tightly rolled sheet of
thin paper, which the Postmaster Gen
eral spread on his knee, feeling, as he
afterward expressed lit, as if he had
robbed the aerial mall
MI Payne nearly fell out of his
chair when he read his own Christian
name at the head of the sheet of pa
per, coupled with an adjective not in
general use in official correspondence
The note was dated Atlanta, Ca, Fri
day. Sept. 25." and was not addressed
or signed sufficiently: for. purposes of
Identification. 1t read in part as fol-
lows: ~

have shipped the crate of birds as
promised, for this is the very last one
of the dozen. l don't want to write
to you by the ordinary mail 1t would
seem so~Sprosaic and modern, and I
care, as YOU know, to think that our
love is not 9of the twentieth century
but a. stolen bit from the romantic
days of long ago. love you, dear. but
if can't just whisper it to you, and
send it through the air on what I
choose to think are the very wings of
love, then I'll keep the secret to my
self
When Mr.. Payne had finished the
note he decided that it wasn't. meant
for him, and put it back in the cylin-
der and fastened it once more to the
carrier pigeons leg. There was some
thing else in the note, but Mr.. Payne
said that was nobodys business but
that of Darling Henry
