Many Inquiries About the New
 County High School Measure


 The State Educational Depsrtment Is daily receiving a number of inquiries in reference to the high school law passed by the Legislature and recently approved by the Governor
 The object of the law is to promote higher education in every county in Alabama. Its purpose is that in no community shall the educational ad- vantages be limited to the old graded schools but that every boy and girl in Alabama shall have the opportunity. if they have developed an ambition for learning, at least to take high school course. which 1t is believed. in addi- tion to it's own valuable teachings, in many cases will engender a desire to pursue knowledge through the college and university.
 The law provides for the location of q high school in every county. save those counties where are located now an agricultural school, a normal school

for white people. the Polytechnic In- stitute. the University of Alabama. the Industrial School for White Girls or a high school free to all the children of the county.
 The law provides that each county shall purchase a site of not less than five acres and erect thereon a high school building to cost not less than $5.0oo fully equipped. The State will then donate s2,o00 annually for the payment of salaries for teachers for these institutions. Each teacher must have a first grade certificate and each student must pass a high school ex- animation before entering.
 The time the law goes into effect is left with the Governor. who shall decide when the State treasury can stand the expense. The Governor up to the present time has not indicated when, if ever, the law will be put in force.

ed the governor could see his way clear

needs Of the schools, and heartily in

INSPECTION OF STATE MINES

The respective chairmen of the senate
and the house penitentiary committees
and one member of the Tennessee rail
road commission are engaged in max
ing a special inspection at the branch
prison and coal mines of the state at
Brushy Mountain. This inspection is
not on the regular legislative program,
and was consequently unannounced.
Senator j. ID. Senter of Gibson coun-

Gen. FL. H. Hannah, member of the

planned by themselves. Their purpose
upon leaving Nashville was to go direct
to the state mines and branch prison in
East Tennessee, there to remain
until tomorrow evening, when they
will return to Nashville, reaching this
city Monday morning in time for the
meeting of the general assembly on
that day.

An Excellent Selection.

Gov. Patterson's message was mag
nifcent state paper, built on the lines
of high regard for the welfare of the
whole people and he has followed it up
by an excellent appointment for state
superintendent of public instruction
Prof. r. L. Jones, of this county, SUI
perintendent Of the Hamilton county
schools for two years. In selecting
Prof. Jones the governor has steered
out of the way of political or factional
considerations and has found man
who will attend to his official duties
first and all the time, leaving politics
and political activity to those engaged
in that business. AS the governor had
made up his mind to change superin-
tendents he could have found no bet
ter man for the place anywhere in the
state. Prof. Jones is practical
school man; he knows the needs of the
rural communities and he is thorough
ly equipped for carrying out the pro-
gressive ideas announced by the gov
ernor in his message and with which
he is in hearty accord having from
time to time publicly announced the
very things the governor recommends,
Under Prof. Jones there will be no
recession from the forward movement
inaugurated by Superintendent Myn-
ders, and what is of equal if not great
err Importance, his selection is an as
surance that the educational interests
of the state are to be kept free of polit-
ical faint. Chattanooga Times.

even or not This question is being
asked by several of the leading repub-
licans of this city in regard to Mr..
Brownlow's attitude regarding the
adjustment of the Knoxville pension
agency. He has voted for it in com
mittee and favors the moving of it to
Washington. Of course in removing
it the Brownlow men who are clerks
can be transferred. But during the
last campaign there was an uprising in
Knoxville against the big boss. The
pension agent at Knoxville, who is also
editor of the republican daily paper of
East Tennessee, did not give Brownlow
support either in the editorial columns
or the news columns, and the Hon. AL
fred Taylor had free access to the news
columns. Now it is the big boss time.
The Office is not in his district. The
most of the opposition to Brownlow's
coming to congress from the First dis
trict was in Knoxville aud the Second
district, as was shown by the vote.
Now, Brownlow knows that he can get
more for the soldiers home, which is
located in his district, if the pension
agency is removed from Knoxville.
At the same time he Furnishes Nathan
