An observing gentleman says that the
many accidents now being reported in
the logging camps and sawmills are the
result of so many unskilled men being
employed. Owing to the great demand
for labor in the numerous camps and
sawmills running it is impossible to se-
cure enough men who are familiar
with the work, and green hands easily
fall victims to their or others inexperi-
ence.

NOT MoNTEvALLo LANDS.

They Were Not Included in Deal
 Made by Pittsburg Man.
 The announcement by a Birmingham newspaper yesterday that a big land deal had been consummated by a Pitts burg. millionaire becomes the posses or of 21 ,O00 acres of land was from it's word ing taken to mean that a large portion of the school lands of the Montevallo Girls Industrial School had been dis posed of.
 The account of the record-breaking land deal contained the statement that that part of the lands sold belonged to the MontevaIlo School. The inference that any portion of the lands of the Montevallo School had been sold in the past few weeks would be erroneous. There have been bv the Governor and Board of Trus- tees of the school several sales of small parcels, some of the sales being over eighteen months ago.
 In all. perhaps, 1.5OO acres of the land of the Montevallo School were sold. The land was sold at a good price. The land bought by the Pittsburg millionaire. no doubt. embraced some of the Montevallo lands previously sold to other parties
 The I 900 acres sold lies in Jefferson and walker Counties. The purchase price is said to be between $35OOOO and $4OO, GOO. The sale was engineered by C. F. Rob- bins of Birmingham and W. B. Reynolds of Montevallo. It is said to be the larg- est land deal ever consummated in Ala bama.

We have all long ago agreed literally
that what is one mans meat is an

much in the French system-partic.

that it needs no advocacy. To abol- |
