MANY OPPOSE USE
 OF COMMON BRICK
PROTEST MAY BE ENTERED TO USE OF COMMON BRICK IN CON- SEDUCTION OF NEW BIRMING. HAM HIGH SCHOOL.

Citizens of Birmingham may appear be- fore the Board of Education shortly with reference to the class of material to be used in constructing the new Blrming- ham High school It will be recalled that the board recently decided, for economi- cal reasons, to erect the new High school of common red brick, instead of pressed brick or stone. This action was taken 1t was stated at the time. in order that the site for the school the building ano the furniture and fixtures might be SC. cured within the original appropriation of $15000O.
 Many citizens are agltating the matter and are said to be anxious for the School Board to hear them. One of theii points is the fact that the board has $50,0OO left with which to build two gram mar schools. They say that a few thousand dollars of this amount could be transferred to the High school fund and that the building could in this way be built of pressed brick or be veneered with Indiana limestone.

STATISTICS SHOW
 GREAT INCREASE
INTERESTING AND CHEERING FACTS ABOUT ALABAMA'S DE- ALLOTMENT IN OUTPUT OF COAL AND IRON.

The great activity in the development of the coal and iron interests of the south and the full demonstration of the success of steel making in Alabama Is the subject of an interesting comparison in last weeks Manufacturers Record of Pennsylvania's accomplishments on that line and Alabama's possibilities. It says:
 'It is an interesting fact that Alabama, with population of about 100000 is making nearly one-half as much pig iron as the United States made with it's 50, 100000 population as late as 1s79 or twen- , ty-five years ago, and is now mining one fourth as much bituminous coal as the whole country then mined.
 Tn 1879 Pennsylvania made nearly 16OO,- GOO tons of pig iron, or just a little more than Alabama is now making. and In the next twenty-five years the progress of Alabama in iron and steel making ought to far exceed what Pennsylvania has done in the last twenty-five years. As Pennsylvania in 1903 made more than S,2OO,0O0 tons of pig iron, the vast possi- bilitiees ahead of the Alabama field can be appreciated.
 Based on it's coal and iron, Pennsyl- venia has created a development which, according to the census of 1900. Is repre- sented by about GOO of invested capital or $30O,000,Uy1 more than the ag- gregate capital of all the manufacturing interests of the southern states. and yet Alabama alone is 6OJ0 square miles larger than Pennsylvania, has more iron ore by far than Pennsylvania ever had and has more coking coal than Pennsylvania. Moreover, instead of hauling it's iron ore thousand miles, as Pennsylvania must du for the LalAe Superior ore. which it laroa1N- Alabama ha tc and it's coal and its limestone in such close proximity as to enable 1t to set the price of pig ironyfor this country and at times for the world"

HUBBARD IN JACKSONVILLE.
Large Crowd Hears Fra Ebertus at
 the Auditorium.

Jacksonville, January 15-(Special.)- The lecture of Ebert Hubbard at this place Friday evening on "Roycroft Ideals" was rare intellectual treat, and the people of the town turned out to hear him en masse. The large auditorium was completely filled and standing room was at a premium.
 Some one has pronounced Fra Elbertus an egotist, but if we may judge from his visit to this place he is a decided altruist. He is a, thinker and an educator in the true sense of the word, believing in the sound mind in the sound body. and ad- vancing the idea that the only true edu- cation is that wlfich qualities man to be "a speaker of words and a, doer of deeds" Expression and impression must balance," and the man that is all inn pression and no expression, or vice versa, is a "hobo" in high life. ''The highest educated man is the most useful man."
