 In collision between a Western engine and Central of Georgia engine at opelika at o'clock yesterday morning, the Central of Georgia ma chine was thrown from the track and turned over on its side. Just above the station at Opelika. the Birming- ham branch of the Central crosses the Western tracks. and 1t was at this point that the collision occurred.
 Extra freight train 12s of the Vest , ern was coming to Montgomery, and coming down the tracks of the Central was a loose engine. Before either mad time to stop, the two machines crashed into each other. both crews jumping in time.
 The Central engine was knocked off the track and turned over on its side. while only the pony trucks or the Western engine left the rails
 Both main lines of the two roads were blocked for several hours, but beyond a temporary tie-up of traffic and the damage to the two engines, no damage was done. The wrecker and crew from the Montgomery shops of the Western was hurried to Opelika, and by noon both the Central and Western tracks were clear.

If Charlev Harrison's educated pig can keen seber long enough, he VIII leave this morning with his master and Rollie Coins as drawing cara in advertising tho State Fair, wnicn will be held fn Montgomery the last of this month.
 Mir. Harrison says that "Pigsie" has been on the water wagon fully week and he feels certain that he knows lf he leaves Montgomery temperate ne will return cured of the liquor habit, because of the dry country through which he will pass on the advertising campaign.
 The pet pig. two months old, con tracted a taste for lager beer soon after he was purchased by Mir. Harri- son and in the frequent visits of the animal to bar rooms. the tapsters were too kind to him. Until a week ago "Piggie" was accustomed to get drunk every day, but the attempts of the past few days to administer the Keeley cure to the edueated aIgine., Mr. -Har- rison says, have been successful.
 MT. Harrison, Mir. Coins and the pig leave early this morning for tour down the Coast Line. They expect first to visit Luverne with 'Piggie." The antics of She educated animal. com bined with the comic costume and fantastic makeup of Messrs. Harrison and Coins, together with few stunts to be thought out enroute. serves to give an angle on what the trio intend doing toward the advertisement of the fair.

 OF DISEASE,
Practical Plans Being Arranged For Future worz--Applacants For Med- ]. ical Lieesses To Be Examined
 To-day.

The first joint meeting of the State Committee of Public Health and of the State Board of Medical Examiners was he'd at the Capitol at o'clock last night. a
 The Board is composed of the follow

Cameron, of Eu- taw; Doctors |. l.. Watkins and Glenn Andrews. Of Montgomery. and pr. w. H. Sanders. State Health officer. st Chairman.
 The object of the meeting is two- fold. First, 1t was to consider the en. larged public health work to be un- dertaken, rendered possible by the greatly increased appropriation made to the State Board of Health by the last Legislature. It is understood that the enlarged work will take a practical shape, which will tend to educate the people in the causes and modes of prop agation of many of the most common and important diseases. with the view of securing the laymen's hearty co-op- eration in the prevention or limitation of such diseases.
 In order to carry out this scheme and to equip and conduct bacteriolog- icai and pathological laboratory. be- sides doing much other work contem- plated, a much larger force. 1t Is said will be required in the office of the State Board of Health than heretofore
 The other work to be done hy the Board is to conduct the first examine tions under the new law regulating the practice of medicine. These examina. tions will begin this morning at o'clock in the Senate Chamber at th' Capitol.
 A number of applicants have alreadS arrived, a considerable nercentage oi whom are from other states. Amonp the applicants are said to be several women, most or all of whom are from other states.
 It is expected that the examination will consume several days and will cover ten separate branches of medi' cine. The fact that all candidates fol the privilege of treating disease must undergo such an investigation as u their qualifications Is certainly calculat' ed to produce a comfortable feeling II the minds of those who may be so un' fortunate as to fall victims to disease.

 The cheap rates for the pig snow at vandiver Park will be put on oy tne railroads on october 23, and local pas senger men look for big business. One thing that they say Is materialiy changed from last year is the fact tnas the coupon for admission 10 tne grounds cannot be sold with the raii- road tickets this year.
 TnlS was great CohfchaShSo year. as a person living fifty or sixty miles from Montgomery who had only a limited time to spend here secured his admission ticket to the grounds when he bought his railroal ticket: The last Legislature, however, passed a law prohibiting the selling of ad- mission tickets to the grounds with the railroad tickets.
 Passenger men claim that this VIII hurt the fair people much more than it will the railroads, as unoer last vear's sale of tickets a passenger was sure to go inside the fair. Now a passenger takes advantage of the cheap rates. comes to Montgomery and has the privilege of going out to the fair or spending the day in fall shopipns Tn the city.
 .So you see," said local passen- ger man yesterday, "the Legislature Is hurting, something else besides the railroads, after all.'
