TO REMODEL WINDSOR
EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS IN
 A HOTEL.
9. P. West Who Gives Up Exchange Hotel Next October Will Add Forty Rooms to His
 Property.

David P. West, owner of the Windsor Hotel announced yesterday morning that within three or four months work would begin remodelling that hotel ana making an addition of fifty rooms.
 ''The people of Montgomery" said Mir. West, ''have clamored long for hotel im- provements. There have been vague re- ports of a new house but as yet nothing has materialized. am announcing today that I am going to remodel and add to the Windsor. What say I mean. As soon as the architects have drawn their plans work will begin on making it a modern hotel in every respect
 "There are already seventy-six rooms in the Windsor and with the fifty new ones there will be 126 rooms.
 The Windsor now runs along what is known as Depot Street from the corner of Gilmer Street to Commerce Street The hotel then runs south on Commerce Street 200 feet. The fifty room addition will front on Gilmer Street and will be 200 feet in length and two stories high.
 MT. Vests first step was to secure the permission of the tenants occupying the property on Gilmer Street. This hlvinn been secured he will at once advertise in hotel journals for bids by architects and contractors for the work which he intends to have in progress inside of three months
 MT. West could not approximate the cost of the improvements.
 You understand" said he, ''the plans have not been drawn and until that time I can't tell what it's going to cost. I know, though. that the Windsor Is going to be put in first class shape The office is going to be made modern as we'll as the old rooms. The same will be true of the cafe and bar.
 These improvements on the Windsor may he of material betterment to the ho- tel situation in Montgomery. When I start my Improvements or when the news gets out" he continued, smiling, "I ex- pect 1t will make these other fellows get busy and the result will he that we will have people stopping in Montgomery and spending their money mere. who never thought of doing so before."
 MT. West IS also manager of the Ex- change Hotel on which sometime ago. it was said that Improvements would be made. His lease of the Exchange Hotel property will expire October l. Announce ment has been made that the lease would not be renewed.

nous university Is most valuable prize and very high honor. The letter of award says that 1t is bestowed in con sideratipn of "the excellently prepared men" who have entered the University from the Institute.
 The University of Virginia has awarded as many academical degrees, within six recent years, to graduates from the In- stitute as 1t has to those from any other college in the country, and acadcmical and professional degrees to more gradu- ates from the Marion Military Institute than to those from any other college or university outside of the State of Viz ginia. This is indeed a high honor for an Alabama institution. and this schoi- arship should serve as an additional in- centive to ambitious students of the In- stitute.
