COMMITTEE VI3I75 HIGH SCHOOL. Members of Woman's Club, Accom-
 panied By Prominent Men, Inspect.

A committee of three members of the Womans club, attended by three prom inent citizens went to the high school building yesterday and were shown through It by Prof Cunningham. The ladies were Mrs. A. B. Loveman, Mrs. Samuel Rich and Mrs. Emil Levy. The citizens were R. N, Rhodes, M. V. Joseph and J. B. Gibson, secretary of the Com mercial club.
 After the visit much surprise was ex- pressed by those who went to inspect it at the conditions they found. They were surprised that Birmingham had such poor building for its children who have advanced to the higher grades.
 The children were assembled in the hall on the third floor. The visit of the three men was in no way official. and they went on the invitation of the three ladies'

POLICE BREAKING
 UP CRAP SHOOTING
pARAPHERNALIA OF FIVE GAM BLING PLACES PACKED AND STORED AWAY-No POSSIBLE lTY OF THEIR ASSUMING.

Every piece of paraphernalia in five of the gambling houses of the city has been packed up. and stored away. In those places there is no chance for gambling to be continued under any circumstances.
 During the past few days Chief wier has had Policemen Murphy and Burke and to warn the proprietors that gamb- ling had to stop, and especially the crap shooting, which ruins the young men who indulge. He told the proprietors that un- der no circumstances would he permit crap table to be operated in the city and that every gambler would be run out of the city if there was any further attempt to operate crap tables
 Some weeks ago Chief wier closed up all the crap joints, but several times since then the proprietors have attempted to operate on the quiet. Chief Wier had them warned but they would not heed, and so finally he sent them the last mes sage, which was followed by the frequent visits Of the two policemen.
 Several white men have been arrested on charges of vagrancy, and a score or more have been forced to leave the city. Yesterday Judge Feagin fined H. M. Nose and John Perry, Jr., $15 each on a charge of vagrancy. 1T. J. Mckinley was later be tried today.

COW ELECT COBB.
II look upon the plurality by which the
repu biicaDs have carried Maine as I'M
expectedlv large and as a strong endorse

Inc plurality may not prove to be quite
80 900 but II IL still handsome and far In

expected.

The Crop Outlook.

Notwithstanding favorable re-
ports coming from other sources.
the government continues 10 take a
rather gloomy view Of the crop out
look IN Mississippi, and the weekly
report just issued is of a very pes
smistlc nature. The report states
that cotton i, shedding badly in the
northern part OF the State, boil
worms are getting in destructive
work in Kinds and Rankin counties
The government admits, however,
that the prospect is about as good as
1t was last year, although much be
low what 1t was a month ago. The
latter statement is doubtless correct
but there are good reasons to dispute
the reliability of the former asscr-
ton, and if an average price of from
8 to 8 cents is received for the crop
the farmers will make a large profit
on the season. The corn crop is
generally excellent throughout the
State, and the farmers who are COM
poIIcd to buy this product for their
stock before the next crop is gath
cred will be exceedingly few in
number.
