reap much benefit from the articles which
the Alabama editors, recently in ses-

their papers about the advantages of the

have already begun to appear in papers
over the state, and they are all COM
mandatory. Such wholesale advertising
cannot but result in much good for An
niston.

If they changed the original song that

The Mobile Register Is much wrought
up over the lack of water pressure in the
mains of that city and the consequent
danger from fire. 1t seems that the in
equality of pressure is due to the heavy
draft of water for running elevators in
the business district of town. The rem
edy suggested by the chief of the Mobile
fire department is the installation of two
steam engines for pumping. No protec-
ton is more appreciated by the citizens
of a town than that from fire.

The Bessemer Weekly is hot after the
municipal authorities of that hustling
town for not taking steps to secure an
abundant supply of pure water for the
people. 1t seems that as a result of the
discussion among the citizens there are
two factions. One is in favor of making
a, long contract with the water company
and trusting to luck. as it were. for the
purity of the water, while the other side
thinks that the city should own the water
works. Anyway the water is muddy and
the supply is insufficient, so the Bessemer
people want a change.

The Vernon Courier thinks the prospect
good for Alabama school houses to be
built by taxation in the near future.
Until this is done the system of pub
lie instruction will fall far below what il
ought to be. There should be at least
three good school buildings in every town
ship in the state, and they should be
built by taxes If the school system is
supported by, taxation"
There are several ways of looking at
the question, but there are many districts
in Alabama sadly In need of suitable
school buildings, and every one will agree
that something should be done for their
relief.

BOY FINDS REAL GOLD
BRICK IN WALL STREET

NEW YORK, Jan. l0.-The wise
ones in Wall street, who think they
know gold brick when they see 1t,
and who took passing kicks at a shin
ing bar of metal in lower Broadway,
may choke when they learn that 1t
was the real thing. The brick OF 90
karat gold, worth hundreds OF dollars
was kicked about the financial dis
trict by messenger boys, and gay old
boys and others for hours, when stu
pid youngster who had never read
about bunco games came along and
picked 1t up. He didn't know what 1t
was and he was just foolish enough
in the opinion of the know-italls who
watched him and laughed at him, to
cart 1t away to the office of his en-
ployer at 100 Broadway.
The boy. whose name Is Alfred
Aortles. showed 1t to his employer and
asked him what he thought 1t was.
The employer examined it, and know
ing a thing or two himself. concluded
that 1t was gold. He kept 1t until to-
day, when he saw an advertisement In
| one of the newspapers telltpsa difity o
| loss by l.. Il NJ. Woo1siein, ks..,
of 16 John street, of a gold brick.
and Offering n reward for Its return

as theirs and paid the boy hand
