 Clanton, July 29.--(Special.)-lt is reported that the Mayor and Council will soon order an election to deter mine whether the town shall isspa bonds to pay an indebtedness on the school building constructed recently.
 Much interest is being taken in poll tics. The Republican, -Populist primary takes place August 6. In this primary there are about one-half dozen eandt- dates for Sheriff.
 The Democrats are harmonious and solidified. A vigorous campaign to wrest the County from Republican Populism has been inaugurated and will be steadily advanced up to the November election.
 The Republican-Populis organiza- tion is purely local organization. In the event a candidate before the ensu- ing Republican, Populist primary, Au- gust 6, should have a grievance spring ing from unfair treatment, he would have no party court to which to appeal for protection of his political interests.
 Many voters in the Ropublican-Pop- ulist ranks see this situation--ring rule In their own party-and as result will not participate in the primary Of August 6, but in all probability will support Hon. F. A. Gulledge, the Dem without opposition before the Demo- cratic primary to be held August 27 He is conducting his campaign along clean. conservative lines. Before the Democratic primary there will be three candidates for Sheriff. J. M. Morgan the present incumbent by appointment. who has made an active, efficient offi- cer; w. L.

 Out of Penitentiary.

Chicago Cnroulcle.
 nus to obtain the release from Joliet of w. H. Hunt. former president of the defunct Pan-American bank, was Tiled in the superior court yesterday. Hunt is serving q sentence for embezslement of money deposited in the bank. The petition will be heard before Judge Gray this morning.
 Mrs. Mamie H. Sims. sister of Mr. Hunt, filed the petition. Hunt was in- dicted and convicted last September of accepting money for deposit In the bank after 1t was known to him that the institution was insolvent. W. s, Rector, cashier in the bank. was also named with Hunt. The specific charge against the two was that they had ac- cepted $149 from Victor A. c. Murrell. Hunt was sentenced to pay a fine of $29S and serve an tndeterminate sem tence in the penitentiary at Joliet. It is declared that the statute under which Hunts conviction was secured is invalid.

Get Heavy senteneen.

August Pinkston and Lazarus Will Hams, the two negroes who were re- gently convicted in the Criminal Court for assault with intent to murder. op- posing an officer and assisting in the escape of a prisoner. we're sentenced yesterday by Judge Beggs to serve fif- teen years each in the State peniten- tiary, one of the heaviest sentences ey- CT imposed in this County on fhis charge. The two negroes attacked B F. Whidden. track supervisor, and Foreman Bush of the L. & N. about a mile north of the city, and the two white men we're beaten almost into in- sensibiIity. There were half a dozen negroes in the crowd. but the above two were the only ones who have SO far been arrested. The negroes made the attack upon the white men because Mr. Whidden, acting as special dep uty sheriff. had arrested and had in their custody a negro who had been caught riding on a switch engine and whom they intended bringing to the city.

Suits aggregating $z.4V0 nave been brought by County Attorney Reese against four members of the old Board of County Commissioners of this Coun- ty to collect moneys which the State Auditor declares to have been illegally collected by them. The former mem bers of the Board against whom the suits are directed and the amounts they are due the County are as follows: w. A. Shelby. $500; Frank Johnson. $500; John G. Welsh. $400; J. W. Brewton. $500. Some mouths since the State Au- ditor in examining the books of the County discovered that four members of the old board had drafvn moneys exceeding the amount allowed by law for attending meetings and loaolking after road work. He also found that four members of the prasent boardshad exceeded the limit by about s2.400. and they were so notified. and settled their indebtedness. The old board members were notified to settle but failed to do so; so suit has beeh instituted.

The Chief Executive of Fiorida and Hon. John s. Beard to Discuss Draining of Everglades
 Later. <.

Pensacola, Fla. July 2s.--(special }-- Governor Napoleon B. Broward. Of Florida, who has accepted an invitation to meet Hon. John S Beard in this city in joint debate on the proposition of draining the Florida everglades, has notified Mayor Charles H. Bliss. who arranged the meeting. that he cannot deliver his address here during the lat ter portion of July or early part of Aa- gust as he anticipated, and that he will not be at liberty to come to West Flor ida until after August IT.
 As this date is agreeable to other parties Mayor Bliss has written the Governor setting the date as August 20. He has also notified Mir. Beard who is in Tennessee. Governor Brow ard will advocate the drainage of the everglades, and Mir. Beard is much op- posed to the proposition, as he does not believe the plan a feasible one and the returns too small for the large amount of money that 1t will require to even attempt to drain this Immense area The debate is looked forward to in West Florida with much interest, as the people of this section of the State have as yet had no opportunity of hearing discussion of the matter.

and the same seems to have been the
case in San Francisco. In some in
stances the blaze from neigh boring
buildings in San Francisco seems to
have been strong enough to cause part
of the iron in the office buildings TO
buckle causing a partial collapse.
This has only occurred. however. in
those rare cases where the iron was
unprotected by concrete or terra Gotta.
According to all accounts, the tall
buildings IN San Francisco, in addition

An earthquake is as simple as the

Il believe that the seat of the dis

seven miles below the surface of the

ally one block of the crust slips up

THE Sierra Madre Mountains are

ARCHITECTS SEE VALUE
OF MODERN BUILDINGS.
Architects and builders of this city
says the Philadelphia North American
of April p, are very much interested in
the account of the manner in which the
ten office buildings of san Francisco
withstood the earthquake shock OF
Wednesday morning. Preliminary re-
ports received from the stricken city
indicate that buildings having an iron
framework were affected comparatively
little by the shock, though their casing
was in many cases stripped, and some
of them viii have to undergo a thor
ough overhauling.
More accurate and detailed accounts
of the condition of the buildings is
awaited, however, before it can be
possible to form any definite opinion
as to the resisting capacity of such
structures in the case of earthquakes
What is known already but bears out
the views of builders on the question
of modern buildings of steel construc-
ton. They are admittedly very much
stronger than buildings of the old type
and much better prepared from the ma
tuIe of their construction to survive an
earthquake shock. The strength of the
iron frame is said to be able to resist
any force short OF one powerful enough
TO rend the foundations on which the
building rests.
The Baltimore fire of two years ago
proved conclusively that a properly
fireproof office building is
really fireproof. None of the really
freproof buildings was much damaged,

of the earth, and sometimes the weight
above becomes so great that the rocks
settle, squeezing up closer. That makes
an earthquake.
The formation of the Pacific coast is
peculiar The coast line has been ris-
ing for thousands of years. Old
beaches where the sea evidently at one
time washed are now found high upon
cliffs. Holes palpably bored by the
date-fish which burrows in the beaches,
are now seen in the cliffs many feet
above the sea level, showing that the
coast has risen out of the water.
Along the coast of California, at
comparatively short distance from the
shore, the shoal water changes from
depth of few fathoms and becomes so
deep that no accurate soundings have
ever been made. This indicates a great
sea-cliff, and it runs the entire length
of the continent and even around to
the coast of China and Japan.

INJECTION WHATEVER
WITH VESUVIUS ERUPTION

I'm my opinion, there can be no con-
nection whatever between the San
Francisco earthquake and the Vesuvius
eruptions. The first and conclusive
reason is that Vesuvius is not on the
same fissure of the earth as California.
Then, too the shakes caused by Vesu-
vius could affect only a local area.
The violent eruption would undoubt-
edly affect the surrounding neighbor-
hood, but from a geological standpoint
the forma ton of the earth in the two
regions is Of such a distinctly different
character, and the distance of six thou
sand miles or more is so great that the
trenor would not be carried so far.
1T would not be surprising if we
heard of severe shakes along the ifs
sure extending from California to
South America, which 1 have describ-
ed, and possibly we will hear reports
of a disturbance in Chile similar to
that in San Francisco, but it would be
due to the same change in elevation.
would like to add that l do not think
there is any danger of a recurrence OF
severe earthquake of this kind in
California for a very long period OF
time"

ON GREAT EARTHQUAKE
LINE OF THE EARTH

"This line is characterized by a deep
adjoining abyss,' says DR.. G. f.
Becker, chief of the division of physi-
cal research of the Geological Survey.
''That line is the great volcanic line
and the great earthquake line of the
world. 1t passes through the volcanic
regions of Japan, through the Aleutian
Islands, along the coast of Alaska and
to Mount Shasta, which, though not an
active volcano Is representative of the
type, then extending to South America
with characteristic volcanic develop
ments.
''All along the South American coast
there have been deep uplifts on this
plane. 1t Is a peculiar assure of the
earth
''Now there have been changes in the
elevation along the line of this assure,
due to changes IN the elevation and
changed conditions inside of the earth,
and it is owing to these changes OF
faults that the ground is shaken in
California while the earth s rocks are
readjusting themselves.
The process is going on all the
time, but generally it is SO gradual that
it is not accompanied with any great
tremor in the localities affected
" Furthermore, if these disturbances
attending the uplift occur at numerous
periods, then it is likely that they will
be only mild in character. If they
should be postponed for a long period,
then, when the accumulated uplift does
come, the shake will be relatively
severe.
81 am not prepared to say this par
ticular earthquake was accompanied
with a measurable uplift; that viii
have to be determined by scientific in
vestigation; but, following out the gen
eral rule on the Pacific coast, it is to |
be expected.

About Furnishing.

The woman of moderate means will
do well to insist upon simplicity in
her furnishings, particularly IL her
house is very small or IL she must &C
commodate herself to a few rooms.
Let all that she buys be the best of its
kind. even II very simple. and let her
avoid much carved wood work, par
ticularly II she must do her own dust
ing.
This Is one of the greatest charms
about the so-called mission" furni-
ture. 1t presents a good appearance
and does not require much painful and
intricate brushing and chamoising.
1t is much better to have a room
fairly bare of furniture for while
than to crowd It with lot Of odd
pieces which do not suit 1t, and re-
quire much care at housekeeping
times.

does not necessarily mean a crowded
look has made a great stride In In

Back Stairs.

A woman who found her steep back
stairs as little ornamental as they
were useful has had them converted
into two closets, one opening out of
her dining room, the other on the
second floor. The steps were removed
bodily and a glass door opened into
the dining room from where they had
been. The space inside she had pan
eled and rows of shelves were built
in, well up to the ceiling. The lower
ones we're used for china and the up
per ones for preserves. A small win
dow cut into the side yard admitted
light into what was really small
shelf-lined room. The whole cost lit
tie. Upstairs a capacious linen closet
filled in the vacant space.
Another woman who did not wish to
have the stairs actually taken out had
the upper landing converted into
closet, but left the stairs underneath.
