BOOKER T. WILL
NOT GIVE ADVICE
NEGRO EDUCATOR RETiREs AS
PRESIDENTS MENTOR.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 1.-THE
story is told in this city that Booker
T. Washington, the head of the Tus-
kegee Negro Normal School at Tus.
kegee, will not have any more part, If
he ever has had, in advising the Pres
ident about Southern appointments.
This comes out as contribution to
the talk resulting from the split in
the ranks of the Republican party in
the State.
Tt is reported that Washington has
let the President know that he does
not care to have anything to do with
politics in any form or fashion and that
the cause of negro education for
which he stands will be hurt in the
South If 1t be known that he takes
any hand in advising the President
about appointments.
1t is an open secret that Washington
did what he could to secure the APP
pointment of Joseph Thompson, as
Collector of Internal Revenue at Birm-
Ingham, and it is also thought that he
has helped Chas Scott, of Montgom-
cry. all he could. The story of the day
Is that while Washington Is going to
keep hands off he will ask that Scott
and Thompson be favored all possible.

SMOKE FROM
THE FIRE

Owners of property burned in
Thursday nights fire are waiting for
the losses to be adjusted before maxi
ing arrangements for rebuilding, but
all will of course rebuild as soon as
possible after the insurance is adj
justed. AS for. the occupants of the
burned buildings, most of them are
simply making temporary arrangea
ments and will go back into
business at their old stands
as soon as possible. Some ques-
tion has arisen as to whether any
of the saloon men would resume bust
ness In view of the fact that legisla-
tion would probably be had at the next
Legislature which would Danish the
saloons to Columbia. The saloon men,
who were burned cut have not ex-
pressed themselves definitely on this
matter, but from remarks made by
some of them it Is evident that they
wish to resume business as soon as
possible. The Wise Liquor Co. lost
nearly all of their stock, but both Joe
Newman and Boyd Andrews have
some salvage which they are taking
care of in accordance with the instruc-
tons of the insurance agencies.
The suggestion made in Fridays |
Herald that property owners on the
Square purchase some property back
OF their present lots and construct bet
ter and larger houses and build up
that side of the Square from an
and business standpoint,
net with approval, hut Inquiries made
by some Of the property owners re-
Vealed the fact that they could not
secure property at prices they would
ike to pay.
The firemen have been at the scene
II the confiagration putting out the last
lying sparks, and the street force has
,een busy clearing the street and side
walks. The Cumberland Telephone
20. also has gang of men at work
epairing wires and cables and trying
0 resume service in that part of town.
tut SO far have not completed their
york.

TORREY-ALEX-
AMBER REVIVAL
Opened Sunday at the Ryman Audi
torium, Nashville.

What bids fair to be the greatest
religious revival Nashville ever has
known was inaugurated under such
suspicious circumstances at the Aud
itorium Sunday night that DIR. R. A.
Torrey expressed himself after the
meeting as thoroughly pleased.
Long before even the song service
began at 7:30 o'clock the crowd had
begun to gather and some people were
waiting for an hour even before the
doors opened. As 1t was every seat
was taken and hundreds were forced
to stand 1t is estimated that there
We're fully 5000 people in the building.
Perhaps one of the most remarkable
incidents connected with the great
crowd was the fact that scarcely one
of the audience left the building I'M
til DR.. Torrey had pronounced the ben
ediction
OF course, the great chorus was one
of the special attractions. 1t proved
to have been wonderfully trained and
the singing reflected great credit ON
the conductor. DR.. Torrey himself
1t highly, and said that
while he did not care to have the re-
port reach Atlanta, the singing of the
Nashville chorus was much superior |
to that of the Georgia city chorus. /
There were about 600 In the chorus
Sunday Enthusiastically American.

WIT E ASSERTS
HE'S HAD ENOUGH
"NEvER, NEVER WILL | RETURN
TO POWER"

PARIS, Oct. 12.-Count Witte, when
questioned today by the Associated
Press in the matter of the st. Peters
burg representatives of movement In
Russia to induce him to resume the
direction of Russian finances. said:
Never, never will | return to pow
err. do not desire to speak Ill of the
Emperor, who is still my imperial mas
ter and to whom owe everything, nor
of the Government, nor of my country,
but have had enough. You cannot
make that statement too emphatic"
Count Witte declared that the
Bourse rumors attaching significance
to his. interview with Baron Roths-
child were baseless. This interview
had nothing to do with financial nego-
tiations. Witte is an old friend of the
Baron and freely gave his opinion on
the financial situation.
1t is an open secret that Count Witte
would have greater confidence in Rus
sian finances II the Ministry were
in stronger hands. He declined to ex-
press his opinion of M. Kokovsoff, the
present Minister of Finance, but smil-
ed significantly when the correspon-
dent of the Associated Press remind
ed him OF conversation held several
months ago In which he characterized
Kokovsoff as great man for small
affairs
Count Witte said he had no present |
intention of visiting the United States. |
He is still under medical treatment |
md his future plans have not been

CADETS AND NOR
GAN IN TIE CAME
SCORE OF TO 6 IN EXCITING
CONTEST ON ACADEMY FIELD
sATuRDAY-HoME BOYS
oUTPLAY VISITORS.

In one of the NOSE exciting games
of football ever seen on the local
grounds, the Columbia Military Acad-
envy team held down the heavy team
of the Morgan school of Fayetteville
to a tie score of to 6. The home boys
We're outweighed ten pounds to the
man, and went into the game simply
hoping to hold down the scores of the
visitors to a respectable figure, and
perhaps to score themselves, but the
superiority of the home boys in speed,
team work and coaching was soon evil
dent, and had it not been for an acct
dent Morgan would never have scored
at all. Under the new rules neither
side could often make the necessary
ten yards gain in three downs and
were frequently forced to kick on the
third down. The Columbia boys,
though lighter in weight, guarded their
line well and were quick and active
in tackling. 1t was during the first
half, when G. M. A. attempted punt
on the third down, that one of the
Morgan men broke through the line
and blocked the kick and then carried
the ball for a touch down. Morgan
kicked goal and the score was to 0. |
After that the cadets carried the ball
Town the field for repeated gains and |
lad the ball on Morgan's ten yard line
when time was called and would doubt
ess have scored in another minute.
Columbia continued in excellent
orm in the second half and while
Morgan got the ball in Columbia's ter
'itory on several occasions, it was
Ilways on punt and not by bucking
he line. Neil and Carruthers both
made runs around end for 20 and rs
ards, and were really the stars of the
anne Finally Morgan kicked the ball
0 Columbia's ten yard line. Neil was
iven the ball and in one of the most
sensational runs ever seen on the To-
al ground, went through Morgan's
ne for sixty yard sprint and touch
own. Neil kicked and the score
'as 6 to 6. Neither side could score
fter that and the game ended with
his tie.

Alcorn's Roup Cure for Turkeys and
Chickens.
How to Get Bid of vermln.


To thoroughly rid your fowls of ver-
min and keep them free during the
winter months, take a vessel that will
hold 21b or 3 gallons of water (have
the water about 80 degrees F.) and
add two tablespoonsfuls of Chlorom-
naptholeum to each gallon of water
place the bird in the vessel and hold
it there until the feathers become
thoroughly saturated, but be careful
not to let the head get under, as it is
liable to injure the eyes. After the
bird has been dipped, thoroughly
grease the head and throat to kill all
mites and any vermin that might have
run up. Keep adding to the dip as 1t
gets too low Do this when the sun
shines and the wind is not blowing
and after the birds become practically
dry, give a heavy feed of grain. After
this has been accomplished, turn your
attention to the hen house and roosts.
White wash the house, inside and out;
add plenty Of salt 70 the white wash,
and about one tablespoonful of KNAPP
tholeum to each gallon of the wash and
apply as hot as possible and see that
you get it thoroughly into the cracks
and corners. Kerosene the roosts
well and remove all droppings from
the house and cover the floor with lime
and you will not be bothered further.
