 pronounces General Lee the handsom- est man he ever saw. He Is tall, broad shouldered. we'll set up, looks every inch a soldier. He. has . most capti- vatfng personelle, fair and open face

SCHOOL FOR WINSTON
HOUSING MEETING HELD AT D0U-
 BILE SPRINGS.
People Ready to Subscribe LdberaiiS for State Institution--speeches by General Brandon and
 yudge Ray.

Double Springs, Sept. 1o.-(SpeciaLl "A majority of the people of the cen trai and eastern portions of Winston County assembled here Saturday to take steps to endeavor to secure the county high school at Double Springs.
 Double Springs is practically in the center of the county. geographically, and 1t is in the center of the county as regards population. These facts prompt majority of the people of the county to want the school located at this point. Moreover. 1t is high, dry, healthy place, and has an abundance of as fine, clear. cool, freestone water as can be found anywhere in the State. Then, too, it is a prohibition town. There has not been drop of whiskey sold here for twenty-two years. and if the same class of citizenship remain tn the majority that are in the major ity now for that long, there will be no whiskey sold here for twenty-two years more.
 For these and other reasons, the ma jority of the people of the county want the school located here. These same reasons prompted the County Board of Education. at its regular meeting held on August 24th. to unan- imously pass a resolution asking the state locating board to locate the
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-09-11

school at Double Springs. On Septem- Der 9th the County Institute unani- mously passed a similar resolution, and also passed a resolution to subscripe $25 to help build the house. Subse- quently several women teachers suo-. scribed S25.
 The call for the meeting had been well advertised. and so anxious were the country people of adjacent neigh borhoods to secure the location of the school here that they commenced pour ing into the town early in the morning. By g o'clock long processions or peo- pia men, women and children, some of them from the most distant parts Of the county, darkened the roads as far in all directions as one could see. At 10 o'clock the people were packed in the spacious court room, and yet the half of those assembled could not get inside the house.
 " The meeting was called to order by J, B. Weaver, Tax Assessor, who, af- ter stating the objects of the meeting, introduced, Hon. J. J. Ray, Judge of the Fourteenth Circuit, who spoke for thirty minutes on the advantages to be derived by the children of the county through the establishment of school within their reach wherein they could fit themselves for business careers. or could prepare themselves for college should professional careers be their objects.
 Judge Ray was followed by Solicitor Sheriff Lacey, of Walker County, who spoke eloquently for about an hour, and made a most telling appeal to all present to subscribe literally to help secure the school.
 Following MT. Lacey's speech a choir of fifty boys and girls, led by Mn rf priate lines, composed for the occasion.
 Gen. w. w. Brandon. State Audi tor, was then introduced. Those of the audience who heard General Bran don make political speeches thought they knew something of his ability. They did not. Today he was in his proper element. When pleading the cause of the boys and girls of the country districts, and he pleaded their cause with a pathetic eloquence that thrilled every heart.
 Later in the afternoon the citizens of Double Springs met and themselves subscribed more than the minimum amount of funds necessary to secure the location of the school. It is thought the people of other parts of the county will largely supplement this. b
 Before the adjournment of the meet llB tOudy JuOSc 4tety CdAACQ tlC dltSh- ton of the people to the fact that he had just discovered that the Legisla- ture a day or so before it adjourned passed a general law fixing the times for Holding court in the several coun- ties in the State which repealed a local law fixing the times for holding court In Walker and Winston counties only fixed and approved a few days before.
 A similar bIunder had occurred in the early part of the session whereby the spring term Of court. held before the mistake was discovered, was void. All preparations had been made to con vene court on the third Monday in this month, and court would have been held then had this blunder not been discovered in time to prevent it. In order to temporarily cure the matter as far as can be done, Judge Ray has called a special session of court to con- vene October IA.

NEGRO LAD MUST ANSWER
 TO FEDERAL GRAND JURY
Johnnie Few's Hearing Concluded And He Is Held In s200 Bond For
 Passing Commercials.

A second hearing was given yes terday morning to the little negro boy Johnnie Few, by United States Com missioner Elmore, on the charge of passing counterfeit money on an Ital- ian fruit dealer named Daniel Russo No new evidence was brought out al this second hearing.
 Commissioner Fillmore bound him over to await the action of the Fed eral grand jury and reduced the bond from $500 to s200. which 1t is said will be made this morning.
 The testimony of all the witnesses in the case is practically the same as was given in yesterday mornings Ad- vertiser.' The little negro seems to be a very clever artist. He has told the police number of stories, not one of which can be confirmed. He has of fered to lead the officers to the place where the counterfeiting machinery is hid, but as yet the police are as much puzzled as ever.
 In default of making bond yesterday Few spent last night at the county jail.

 Hacks.

The convention of the Eighth Pyth- l ian District, which is to be held today in Wetumpka, will probably be the | largest attended meeting yet held by | the district since Its institution. Much interest was yesterday manifested by

 their arrival. The sessions of the con- vention, of which there will be three, will be held in the auditorium of the new $50,000 school building. The first
 session will be public one, and. will
 be held at 10:30 o'clock.
 For the accommodation of the delay ed Pythians who will not be able to make connections with the morning train going to Wetumpka, the We tumpka Lodge, Little Queen No. 125, has made arrangements to have hacks meet the delegates at Pickett Springs shortly after g o'clock, and carry them direct to the convention town.
 Deputy Grand Chancellor W. E. Dow, of this city, has been actively at work making the convention a great success ever since the announcement of the date of session. He. has prepared an interesting and instructive program, so that the public sessions, as we'll as the secret session, will be we'll receiv-' ed by the attendants.
 One of the most interesting events of the day will be the grand barbecue which the Wetumpka members will give to the visiting Knights at Valley Brook The announcement has gone out that this will be one of the most entertaining features of the day, and has no little effect in assuring large attendance.
 Twenty-one lodges will be represent ed at the convention, each of which are entitled to five delegates each. Howver, all Pythians have been given a cordial invitation to attend The last of the sessions will be held to- night, and the delegates and visitors will return to their homes tomorrow.

Onerotors StrJIxe ArnIn

The local office of the Western Union Telegraph Company Is again without operators. The men who went on a strike several weeks ago, only to re- turn after being out for three weeks, again quit their jobs this morning. and as a result the service here Is badly crippled.
 Some of the men secured positions in bucket" shops in Alabama through the union at Atlanta. while others decided that they would not work longer. The manager is the onlv one left in the of flee, but the train dispatchers of the Louisville and Nashville are assisting him during their off-hours and by this means he hopes to handle business un- til the end of the week when he will have new men to take the places of the strikers.
