Fsoren s.9pecial)-Ihe cause
OF publl edacation was given severe
setback yesterday in Lauderdale county
when the proposition to levy special tax
OF 10 cents on the hundred dollars of tax
able property was defeated at the polls.
The vote in the city of Florence was al
most five to one for. the tax, but incom-
plete returns from the county leave the
friends of the measure no room for hope.
At some of the country boxes the oppo-
sition to the measure was almost unani-

GIRLS SCHOOL AT
BREWTON ASSURED
SITE HAS BEEN PURCHASED AND
INCLUDES HISTORIC OLD FORT
CRAWFORD, MADE FAMOUS BY
ANDREW JACKSON.

Brewton, June 1S.-(Special)-Se
months ago the Rev. ]. NJ. Shofner, pas
tor of the Brewton Methodist church.
conceived the idea of establishing an in
dustrlal school for girls at Brewton.
where deserving girls of limited means
could secure an education. Circulars were
sent out setting forth the plan and aims
of the institution, and soon sufficient
funds were on hand to purchase a suit
able site. Alec and East Brewton were
very anxious to secure the location, and
every effort was put forth ON their part
to secure 1t.
Finally the Jordan farm of eighty-five
acres In East Brewton was decided upon,
trade consummated and the property
paid for In cash. It is a high, healthy
location and includes old Fort Crawford,
where Andrew jackson and his men en-
countered the Indians in 1878, some old
relics of which still remain to keep aglow
the warm devotion of eivilzing life,
patriotism and American chivalry. This
is an ideal location, a high hill over
looking and having a birds eye view of
Brewton as it stretches away cross the
valley, while East Brewton and the rich
scenery of the river greets the vision to
the south. No prettier place in this
whole section could have been selected.
In the old log dwelling that still re-
mains are to be seen the port holes
though which Jackson and his men held
the Indians at bay More land will be
added to the farm as it becomes neces-
sary.
A truck farm has been decided upon
as a plan to meet the urgent need. Vari-
Gus trucks are to be raised, from the sale
of which part of the expenses of the
board, clothes and tuition of the girls are
to be met. In addition to this there is to
be established some Industrial depart
ments in which the girls can work and
reduce their expenses-Such as a canning
factory, Grating and packing berries and
fruits, etc. There is to be a dormitory
under the supervision of competent
matron, which will be a home for the
girls.
Owing to the continued bad health of
Mr. Shofner during the past spring, he
has not been able to give the scheme
the desired attention but the farm is in
cultivation, and good crops of corn, cab
bage melons, etc, are growing thereon,
the proceeds from which are now thought
will exceed expectations.
As the school cannot be gotten under
way this year 1t is Mr. Shofner.s inten-
ton to place ten or twelve girls in Brew
ton Institute this fall, and he expects in
the near future to have sufficient funds
on hand with which to erect a $500 build
ing on the farm to be used as home
for the girls, which will is" lscare OF
