Florence, August pa Special)-In obed-
government Postmaster E. G.. Negley has
had a survey made of the grounds pur-
chased for the government building here,
the surveyor turning in the papers last
night and they will be forwarded to
Washington today The order was for an
immediate survey of the grounds and the
supposition is that the plans for the build
ing VIII be commenced as soon as the
papers reach Washington. The appropria-
ton for the SIC was made at the Fifty
seventh session of Congress and soon after
the old Snodical college, within two blocks
of the heart of the city was purchased.
There was much opposition to the sale
of the college as the building, which Is
one of the old land marks of Florence,
will have to be torn down to make place

broad collonade, with the roof supported
by immense pillars, 1t occupies an entire
block and is nestled amidst tall oaks,
older than the state of Alabama. The
building was constructed when the town
was in it's infancy and many of the older
citizens were educated there. The ma
teral in the building has been sold by
THE government and the purchaser will
be given ninety days notice in which to
remove it, so that three months must
elapse before the $50, 900 government build
ing will be commenced.

Jackson, Miss, August 24.-(Special)-
The railroad commission has about COM
pleted the task of fixing the assessments
on the several railroads in the state of
Mississippi, and shows an increase in
valuations of something more than s10,-
100000 This is a reduction of about $780,
600 from the sum first fixed a month ago,
and is in response to the very vigorous
protests filed by the railroad companies,
several of which We're represented before
the commission by high OFFICIALS.
The total assessment of railroads last
year amounted to $780, BIG, SOO-thls year it
will amount to s44,0O0.OO0 or Whereabouts.
On this valuation the state Will collect
about $264,0O0 In the way of taxes, which
is $4,000 more than last year.
The more notable assessments are as
follows:
Illinois Central, main line, increased
from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile, with 5000
for second track where it is doubled.
The Mobile and Ohio, main line, was in.
creased from $4,000 to $4,000.
