WORK WILL BEGIN THIS YEAR
Construction of State Normal
 Buildings
Expected to Commence Before Close of the Year-Board to Examine Plans
 November I4

The actual work of construction on the building of the new state normal school is expected to be commenced before the close of the present year, and the purpose of the board is to have one of the build ings in readiness for the opening of the session in September, 1908.
 During the past few weeks Arch itect Charles l.. Thompson, who was chosen by the board to furnish the plans and supervise the con- struction of the normal buildings, has been visiting several similar ln- stitutions in other states in order to secure the most approved ideas in planning the buildings. He will submit preliminary plans at the next meeting of the board, which will be held November II, and if these are approved the full plans and specifications will be rapidly completed. When this is done the contract for the erection of the building will be let.
 It is the present plan of the board to use the bonus donated by Con- way, S51,753, in the erection of large building, which will be sltu- ated on the north side of the cam pus, fronting east Room will be left in the center of the grounds for the main building, f1anked on eith- CT side by dormitories, and on the south side for a library build ing, all of which will be construct ed as appropriations are made by the state authorizing same. When the main building is erected, the first building will be converted into a science hall. The idea of the board, in short, is to so plan the buildings with reference to the grounds that when all are com pleted, though 1t may be years in the future, the whole will present a harmonious appearance.
 Another important action to be taken by the board at its meeting on November II IS the election Ot a president of the new institution. This was decided upon at the meet ing held October 1 and public an nouncement of the fact was made at the time. While no member of the board has given out any state ment to that effect, 1t is believed by those in a position to know that Superintendent of Public Instruc- ton ]. J. Doyne will be elected to this important position. MT. Doyne has not made application for the presidency, and has served less than one year of his first term as superintendent of public instruc- tion with an unopposed election to second term as practical cer- tainty. His friends say, however, that so great is his interest in the normal school, the establishment of which he has been laboring for as a public educator for many years, that he would resign his present office to accept the presidency of the new institution The prestige which this action would give the normal, added to the fact that no one better qualified for the position could be secured in the state, makes MT. Doyne, in the opinion of those interested in the success of the in stitution, the logical man for the

ISCONVERTED To
CHECK HABIT
HEREAFTER CHARLES II. BROWN
WILL EscHEW "coIN OF
THE REALM"
Carpet Man Relieved Of SOS BY
Pick-Pocket Thief at
Nashville.

Probably no man in Columbia recog
nizes more forcibly the wisdom Of the
new rule requiring the transmission
of money by check and the elimina'
ton as far as possible of currency
from the business world, than Chas.
II. Brown, manager of the carpet de-
aartment of McKennon, Anderson 3
Foster. Unfortunately for Mr.. Brown
It required actual experience to bring
him to this way of thinking. But here
after he will doubtless deposit his
funds in the Maury county banks and
when he takes money to his family at
Nashville, he will do so by means OF
checks on the aforesaid Maury county
financial institutions.
The story Of Mr.. Browns conversion
to the check method" is briefly this:
He left here Saturday for visit to
his family at Nashville, taking with
him sos in gold and silver coin and
areenbacks, theie being mary a
cneck' in the bunch While on the
street car going from, one portion OF
the capital CITY to another, some slick
artist relieved him Of the entire sum.
While Mr.. Brown has given out no
statement for publication, it is safe to
assume that hereafter he will encour-
age the transfer of funds by means
OF clearing house certificates, checks
or exchange.
Evidently there is gang OF pick
pocket thieves following in the wake
of all big crowds. Mr.. Brown was not
the only one caught ats Nashville on
Saturday, nor was he the heaviest
loser, another being taken In for an
even 5000,

TO GREAT Crowd ON
THE SQUARE.

Mrs. Armor. State President OF the
Georgia W. G. r. u, delivered an adj
dress at the west entrance to the
Court House Monday by request,
and the power and eloquence OF the
sneaker was soon manifested by the
eager manner In which the hundreds
of people gathered close about and
stood with deepest interest during the
half hour in which Mrs. Armor spoke.
The speaker handled the licensed sa-
loon without gloves, drew vivid PIC
ture OF the ills that follow ntemper-
ance. and told something OF the sun
shine which had banished the clouds
in Georgia and was rapidly flooding
the entire land of Dixie. During ner
talk Mrs. Armor paid tribute to SEN
ator Carmack, who happened to be a
rather embarrassed, member OF the
audience. and spoke in highest praise
Of his fearless stand for temperance
and morality in private life and pub

SITUATION is
MUCH IMPROVED
GEORGE e. MckENNoN SAYS BUS
MESS OF NEW YORK HAS
NOT SUFFERED.
Confidence is Returning, Collections
Are Fine and Outlook
Bright.

Confidence is rapidly returning and
the business and financial situation In
New York is improving very fast.
This statement was made Monday by
George E. McKennon, of McKennon,
Anderson & Foster, who returned Sun
day from New York, where he has
been for some time buying for his
firm. Mr.. McKennon takes very
optimistic view of the situation, a
view that is shared by the leading
jobbers and business men of the great
financial center of the country.
Mr.. McKennon stated that several
of the leading wholesale merchants of
New York told him that collections
had been better during the past month
that they were during the same month
Il last year and likewise the orders
for next springs goods had shown
decided Increase. Some of the firms
have sold more spring goods than ever
before in their history.
Mr.. McKennon called attention to
the fact that the number Of notices of
Withdrawals of savings accounts from
the banks were becoming less and less
every day and during the past week
had almost ceased, while hundreds of
depositors who during the early part
of the week gave notice Of withdraw
ell had cancelled them. He stated that
locally he found business conditions
that the business of Nc
Kennon, Anderson & Foster during
the past month was better than during
any October in the history Of the firm.

Other sections of the country, she

LARGE CROWD
HEARS MRS. ARMOR
GEORGIA PRESIDENT TELLS HOW
THAT STATE WENT DRY.
by FAITH.

One Of the largest audiences evel
gathered in the First Methodist church
heard Mrs. Armor, President of the
Georgia w. G. T. u. tell how Georgia
went dry. Not only was every seat in
the large auditorium taken, but hun
dred or more chairs were placed lin
the aisles and In the rear OF the
church. The address was pronounced
by all who heard it one OF the best
ever delivered in this church and the
best ever delivered by a woman in
Columbia.
Mrs. Armor has proven one of the
greatest powers for temperance in the
south, and when one comes to feel her
earnestness, faith in the will and just
ness Of God and the righteousness Of
the cause she has championed all these
years, and the fact that she Is only
one of great band of women. It can
easily be understood How Georgia
Went Dry.
Mrs Armor took as the subject of
her address, by faith the Walls of
Jerico fell down" Taking this text
as starting point and showing the
miracles accomplished in biblical
times through faith with works, she
came on down to the fight In Georgia
and the almost miraculous victory won
by faith with work in Georgia. She
told of the obstacles overcome and
how from small beginning years ago
the temperance spirit had been gen.
Grated and nurtured until at the end
It had swept along with irresistible
iorce and cleansed the saloons from
he great state she claimed as her own.
She did not claim all the credit for

SENATOR RECEIVES AN OVATION
Welcome Night Proves One Of the
Most Enjoyable Of the
Meeting.

Welcome Night" which was
observed by tine womans Chris
tan Temperance Union on Sat
urday evening, proved to be
one OF the most enthusiastic and
enjoyable sessions OF the convention.
The feature of the session was the
splendid ovation which Senator Car
mack received. The Senator was not
on the program, but was present
in the hall. and being called upon
for an address spoke briefly arousing
the greatest enthusiasm. He received
a genuine ovation and his remarks
completely captivated the audience
He was introduced by the President,
Mrs. Holman, as the next Governor
of Tennessee" a sentiment that met
the hearty approval of the entire con-
vention
Senator Carmack complimented the
organization on the splendid work
which it had done for temperance. and
declared that too much honor could
not be done the noble women who had
been banded together for so long to
fight the liquor traffic. He made an
eloquent plea for the cause and ad-
monished his hearers to be active and
diligent that there should be no back
ward step, but urged them to press
forward to the day when there would
not be an open saloon in the land.
Congressman l.. p. Padgett deliv-
cred an earnest and eloquent address
of welcome on behalf of the city.
Rev. A. e. Clement for the churches
of Columbia welcomed the convention
in few well chosen words. Miss
Caroline Williams for the local union
expressed the pleasure OF that organ
ization at having the state convention
as its guest. These several address
es were most appropriately responded
to by Mrs. Hirsch, of Jackson. Miss
Lee Logan OF Nashville responded ON
behalf of the "Y's."
The most interesting feature OF the
meeting was the contest for the grand

tants, ave young ladies and one young

man contestant. The Judges were H.

TAKE CHECKS
FOR THE MULES
BUT PRICES RANGE LOWER AND
THE QUALITY IS BELOW
AVERAGE.

While there were many mules in
town today the class was far below
the average and this doubtless had its
effect on the number of sales There
were several southern buyers on hand
and they bought the pick of the offer
.ngs. Prices ranged low. due to both
the tight money market and the fall
in the price of cotton, which has
amounted to cent pound during
the past week. No one refused to
take check for his mules and all
sold went via the check route, so this
feature Of the money market did not
eject the price u mules.
