A GOOD AFTER-DINNER CIGAR
Geo. w. Stansfield Says the ChIcos

The time to enjoy real good cigar
is after a good dinner. There is no

right after a hearty meal,'' Geo. W.
Stansfield says. It just fills the bill for

It is clear. long Havana filler of supe-
rior quality, and the size is exactly
right.
Stanfield says that he has sold more
Chicos since he introduced this brand in
Topeka than he ever sold before of any
brand in four times as long. This shows
how well it pleases the smoker who en-
joys a good cigar.
Considering its superior quality the
price at which it sells, five cents
straight, is surprise.

 The recent heavy loss in the fire which totally destroyed the handsome five-story building of the Moore & Handley Hard ware company has provoked and revived a great deal of discussion in regard to the local fire fighting facilities.
 The Insurance Field intimates that the radicals have even suggested putting the city on a third-class basis rather than on a second class but this view is con- sidered entirely too strong. The large insurees of Birmingham are working hard to improve the department. and the in- surance periodicals think that 1t is an injustice to impose a high rate.
 It was reported in fire insurance circles that certain insurance companies had withdrawn their business from Birming ham, but 1t was denied by the agents of these companies. Investigations are be- ing made and the prospects are that ev- erything possible will be done to secure first-class basis for Birmingham
 One of the largest life insurance com panies of the United States, which does an immense business in Alabama and es- pecially in the Birmingham district, in its total of APO death claims paid in the five weeks ending September 30 shows that the total amount of the claims paid by the company was s1.616, 16674. while the insured had paid only $713,615.S3 in pre- | miums. In other words, the insured re- ceived a total of 1902 550.91 over the cost of insurance. The total original insur- ance was $1,504.4 42S less than the amount paid by the company.

SCHOOL IS ASSURED.
New Institution at Florence Will Be
 Non-Sectarian.


 Florence, November 1S.-(Specal.) )-All doubt as to Florence securing a university to occupy the Baptist University building which has been unoccupied for the past eight years, has been removed by letter received by N. c. Biting from J. Wesley McCallum of Philadelphia, who has been promoting the deal. The only condition precedent to bringing the institution to Florence was the raising of $2500 by the citizens and this has already been com piled with. Repairs on the building will be begun at once and by September. 1906. the furnishings will be complete and the building ready for occupancy. Speak ing of the curriculum MT. McCallum says:
 Tt is purposed to have thoroughly Christian, but non-sectarian university that shall teach and graduate according to the best educational standards, suoh as the classical, philosophical or scien- tiic course for B. A, English and literary courses, the domestic sciences including cooking, dressmaking, etc.. a commercial course. a business department course of two or three years, languages higher mathematics and all branches of art" Such an institution as will be established will bring to Florence from $20,OO0 to $G0,- GOO in yearly returns besides the increase in population and real estate values.
