All the energy of Superintendent Hill is being devoted at present to the movement for more rural school build ings To help out this single cause q check for $I,000 reached him Monday from the Peabody fund.
 In many parts of the State where the population is not so dense imper- feet accommodations confront the school children who are compelled to study and recite in church buildings. The comprehensive plan of Superinten- dent Hill is to obliterate these condl- tions and make them only history with the best means at hand.
 One of the most effectual weapons the State Superintendent of Education has in fighting the lethargy of the people Is the "local tax" clause of the new Constitution, which gives any County the right to levy a tax of one- tenth of 1 per cent by a three-fifths vote of the people.
 Superintendent Hill returned yester- day morning from Coffee County where he and Acting Governor Cunningham have spoken this week in the campaign for local school tax now waginS there.
 The election on local tax in Coffee County will take place February 20. The indictment weather has interfered with the movement a bit this week. but the chances are reported good for a favorable vote.

MONEY FOR SCHOOLS
PHII4ANTHROPIC CITIZENS HELP
 RURAL PUPILS.
Will Aid in Building of Houses tn LOwndes and BuIlock--Superfn- tendent Hill Feels En-
 e0urnged.

State Superintendent of Education I, {, W. ~Hill feels much gratified on &C., count of yesterday receiving offers of money donations for rural schools in Lowndes and Bullock counties from prominent citizens of Montgomery and Birmingham.
 The offers propose to assist in build ing school houses in the rural districts of the counties mentioned. The gen. tlemen who will give the money in tend to donate half of the cost of the buildings to be erected on condition that the citizens of the community benefited contribute the other half of the cost.
 It is believed that such philanthropy as this Is going to prove the most val uable auxiliary to local taxation in the advancement of country schools that has been manifested.
 Tt may be said that only recently have the majority of our best people awakened to the great need of better and more rural schools" said Superin- tendent Hill yesterday. "A few men have blazed a way in helping this cause and believe 1t means the begin ming of a new era in Alabama for the country schools"
 One of the men who has informed Superintendent Hill of his willingness to make cash contributions to the building of school house in Lowndes County, writes ardently of the motive which impelled him. He says that in the rural school problem there Is the greatest opening for educational work in the entire State system
 The slogan of the country schooT campaign is, "The schools of the city will take care of themselves, the schools of the country need help"

WINTER MEAT EATING.
The Poor stomach's Tale of WOe--Just
 Now AIl-O-na Is Needed.

At this season of the year thousands of people are already showing the III symptoms that are sure to result from the usual winter diet. Indoor life, meat-eating, hearty food, lack of exer- else. overwork. and poor ventilation spell sickness and poor health.
 If the stomach cannot do It's work properly, i'll health is sure to follow. Mi-o-na is the one medicine that as- sures a natural digestion, that strength ems the stomach, that soothes and heals all irritation congestion, and infiamma- tion in the stomach or bowels. It is this that makes 1t a certain and guar anteed cure for all stomach troubles.
 If the digestion is impaired, the blood is impoverished and becomes filled with poisonous impurities. de- ranging the whole system and causing sickness and suffering. Mi-o-na, acting upon the stomach and digestive organs cures sleeplessness, nervous troubles, headaches, backaches, and general weakness and debility.
 If you are weak and ailing the chances are that 1t Is due to diseased stomach, but you can be cured by using Mi-o-na. Ask B. G. Fowler, the reli- able druggist, to show you the strong guarantee under which Mi-o-na is sold. Mi-o-na costs but soc box. If 1t does not help you, the price is absolutely nothI feb 2-9-1s.

CITY OF MOBILE ARRIVES.
Steamboat Touches at Local Wha
 With Light Frefwht.

Steamboat Touches at Local Wharf
 With Light Freight.
 At $:S0 o'clock yesterday morning the river packer City of Mobile reached the Montgomery wharf.
 The manifest was very light, a sig nificant fact being that not a bale of cotton was among the freight list. The planters along the river are hold ing the staple, The manifest consisted of something over two car loads of through freight.
 The river stood at IS feet yesterday morning, . higher stage than has been known in many months, and Cap tain T. H. Moore said yesterday that he fully expected 1t to reach at least 25 feet.
 There is a great volume of water in the territory to the north of Mont gomery and as all that water is sweep ing down the river the stream between Montgomery and Mobile will be swollen accordingly.
 The boatrieft on the down trip at g o'clock yesterday morning with a man ifest. consisting of fifty tons of fer tilizer and some through stuff. The river was rising steadily yesterday and the boat should make a fast run to Mobile.

 He reflects. too. on Blackbelt condi- tions where there are no new towns springing up in a night, where no new towns in their entisety have come into being within quarter of cen tury.

 Effect on Train Schedules.
 Train schedules are almost demoraI- ized. and unless the weather takes a change soon, railroads entering Mont gomery will be crippled.
 Passenger train schedules of those reaching Montgomery have received such jolts in the past few days that they are just about unrecognizable.
 The Louisville and Nashville morning train came in yesterday one hour late, getting here at noon, but it only had the Cincinnati connection, the Chicago and St. Louis connection getting in at :S0 o'clock yesterday afternoon, six hours and thirty minutes late.
 The Western Railway train, due at 10:55 o'clock yesterday morning, was three hours late, the Louisville and Nashville sending the first section of its train to Mobile at 2 p. m., the second section going south on the arrival of the belated Chicago connection yester, day afternoon.
 Last night there was no attempt at a notwithstanding, trains running just as they could get over the road The Louisville and Nashville train, due here at 7:25 p. m., from the north, got in at 1O:30 o'clock.
 The Western Railway was tied up yesterday in a most complete manner. All it's wires are down again and Chief Train Dispatcher Jack Andrews said that they were working their train or- ders by maiL very laborious, slow and uncertain undertaking.
 The terrible storm began the work of devastation Sunday, the wires from Atlanta to Newman going down under the weight of sleet and ice at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon. By hard work the wires were straightened in a measure by Tuesday night but yesterday morn- ing 1t began sleeting again and the wires went out of business. Between Atlanta and Newman 200 poles are down, many of them falling directly across the track and others hanging with a network of wires just over the track at about the height of a pas- senger coach.
 The Southern Railway wires east of Atlanta are also down. and at o'clock this morning nothing had been heard from the Western train due at 9:20 o'clock last night.
 With the exception of the Western and Louisville and Nashville, the roads entering Montgomery are getting along fairly well. the rains causing slight delays. The Union Springs and North ern Is having trouble between Union Springs and Fort Davis.

AND STILL II RAINS City'S Business ISAtStand-
 still. THE RIVERS RAPID RISE Incoming Trains Late and. Schedules Broken. Montgomerx's Telegraph and TeIe- phone Connections Suffer from Constant Downpour and La
 Grippe ana Pneumonia
 are Epidemlcs.

With al. almost constant downfall of fain in Montgomery and vicinity, with practically every train several hours late, with probably 5000 residents suf- fering from la grippe and pneumonia. and with telegraph and telephone wires down, Montgomery's streets yes- terday bore the appearance in vogue during yellow fever epidemics.
 Clerks in downtown business houses paced the floors or 1attened their noses against window panes and watched the cold drizzle' falling. Business was practically Killed.
 Montgomery trainmen reached their homes at any hour. Trains due in the afternoon pulled in at night and all ideas of schedule making went to the winds. Trains ran pretty much as they pleased.
 At the telegraph offices operators folded their hands and yawned. With the exception of a few connections Montgomery was isolated.
 The Hello Girls" at the long dis tance telephone office spent the day in saying We haven't had a connection with that city since Sunday"
 There are few families in Montgom- cry who have not had a visit from their physicians during the past week. The moist atmosphere has made Ia grippe almost universal in Montgom- cry households, while pneumonia is frequently found.
 Many of the nnpaved streets of Montgomery were in such an impassa- ble condition yesterday that cinders were spread over many of them under the direction of City Engineer D. w. Ford.
 The river situation is becoming pre- -4- bama will probably reach a 25-foot stage while more dangerous rises are expected on the Warrior and Tombig- bee,

Section Director ChaaEee Issued Special
 Bulletin on Situation.
 The rains of the last few days, while not being particularly heavy over the drainage area of the Alabama and tributaries, aggregate such an amount as to make the river situation rather precarious.
 The accumulated rainfalls over this district during last four days ranged from two to four inches up to o'clock yesterday afternoon with additional steady rains in prospect over the en- tire district.
 Yesterday morning Section Director Chaffee of the Weather Bureau, issued warning that the river situation might become dangerous.
 He called for special river reports. the result of which is shown below:

JACKSON AND JOHNSON.
CoIored Fighters to Meet in Ring :
Baltimore Next Friday.

Baltimore. Md. Nov. 29-Jack John
son, conceded to be the best coIored
heavyweight of today, and Young
Peter Jackson" of this city, one of the
top-notchers in the middle-weight class
will be the principals in the next bout
before the Eureka Athletic and Social
club, next Friday night at Germania
N1aennerchOr. Johnson, heavyweight
and Jackson, nliddleWeight has resulted
in a handicap condition being made
Johnson was anxious to get on the
match as he has considerable difficulty
in getting men to meet him, and he
agreed to stop Jackson in twelve rounds
or accept the small end of the boxers
purse.
A mighty tough job is the one under
taken by the man who so long tried to
get on a match with Jeffries, but with
out success. Jackson has had scores of
contests, and the majority of them have
come his way. Few there are in which
he has been made to bite tfS dust, and
In these he has never been put to sleep.
In those in which he was returned a
loser, it was simply a case of being out
pointed.
Peter simply laughs at the idea of
Johnson disposing of him in twelve
rounds, and the local dusI1y boxer says
that the big fellow had Better look to
his own Iaurels.

ALITTLE SPOONFUL
Better Than a Piece of Meat Big as
His Hand.

81 can do more hard work on one
little old spoonful of Grape-Nuts than
I can on a slice of meat as big as my
hand.
ct was this remark, made by a
neighbor who is a conductor on the
Santa Fe Railroad that first induced
me to try Grape-Nuts food; and now
that 1 have tried it am quite with
him in his high appreciation of what I
regard as the most perfect food pro-
duction on the market today
The letter comes from Wellington,
Kas.. and the writer continues:
my neighbor said he was worn out
from work nights and eating all kinds
Of stuff at all hours of the day and
night until his condition compelled
him to take a lay off. Then he began
to eat era pe-Nuts, and says that from
that moment his strength rapidly re-
turned to him. He Is now working
eleven hours a day and does not feel it

been suffering for a long time from
stomach trouble which came from food
that was not suited to me. had been
compelled to give up my houseworlS
for time. and that was great hard
ship to me. for I hate TO nave hired
girl around the house.
VERY soon the benefits of the
change in my diet began to manifest
themselves; my stomach was re-
stored-the Grape-Nuts seemed to go
right to work to putting it in order
again, and now I can eat anything.
Ny strength came back to me, and in
little more than month I was able
to let the hired girl go. For more
than three months now have been
doing all my homework, and you will
understand that that is no small mat
