It was the occasion Of the laying of the cornerstone for the magnificent school building which has been in course of construction for the past four months. Messrs Fleming and Payne have the contract to do the work and Benjamin B. Smith Of Montgomery is the architect. They have had consid- erable trouble in securing the neces- sary materials, especially brick; but they are fortunate in now having about two thirds of the brick work complet- ed and materials in sight to rush the work to completion at an early date. The building is to be q ten-room struc- ture with all the modern ifaprovnRnen and will be beautifully finishedsSithin and without.

 By number of illustrations. he showed that it is necessary for men and women in every department of ac- tivity to have knowledge of the laws governing their respective vacations. He said that the farmer must know the law of soil production; besides. he showed that to accomplish the best re- suits, the teacher must be 6 thorough student of mental philosophy, and fully understand the growth, development and peculiar makeup of the ehild's mind.

Selma< Aug. v.
 The year-old son of MT. and Mrs. Arthur May Fesperfnsn of Atlanta suf- located at the boarding house of Mrs. 4. M. Turner, corner Selma and Green Streets: Mrs. Fesperman is a niece of Mrs Turner and came from Atlanta some days ago on visit
 Last night. as usual, the mother put her son to bed and later retired herself. The little boy was sleeping soundiy when his mother retired. and during the night did not awake. This morning about o'clock Mrs. Turner went in the room of her niece, to look at the boy, as it has been her custom since Mrs. Fssperman has been here. She found the little fellow enmeshed in mosauito bar and with a big feather pillow COW ering his face and slowly smothering to death.
 Mrs Turner quickly awoke the sleep ing mother and several members of the household. The nearest physician was quickly summoned, but soon after his arrival, the little fellow breathed his last. The father of the child was in Atlanta. He was immediately tele- phoned of the death of his son and reached here tonight. The funeral services over the remains of the in- fant will take place from Mrs. Turner's home tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock.
 At the head of the bed upon which the child was sleeping was large feather pillow. Pinned or tucked to this pillow, the mother arranged q mosquito bar after her son was asleep. It is supposed that during the night the infant grew restless and without awak- ening his mother became entangled in this mosquito bar. The pulling of the bar Is supposed to have caused the large pillow to fall over the child.

SYDNEY, April 14-(Special Cablegram
to The Bee 1.-THE greatest Indignation is
expressed here over the report that Fan
ming Island one of the most important
landing stations of the "All-British,' Pa
cifc cable. together with Washington
island is to be offered for sale by public
auction on April L. 1t is regarded here as
nothing less than national scandal that
the imperial government should run the
risk OF such an important strategic center
as Tanning Island falling into the hands
of a foreign power The "All- British" Pa
cihc cable, as it is well known, links up
Vancouver, British Columbia, with New
Zealand. In this route of nearly 5000 miles
1t touches first at Tanning island 3,2S7
miles from Vancouver, then at the Fiji
islands, another 1886 miles. and afterward
at Norfolk island, whence branches run to
New Zealand and Queensland
From these facts it can easily be i'm
agined how vitality important it is that
Tanning island should remain British. A
hostile power in possession Of the island
in times Of war would have the cable at
it's mercy.

Tanning and Washington islands We're
