ings which may in ten years amount to $500,000, will also go into the busi- ness channels of Montgomery.
 The annual expenditures of the 300 students would be at least $100,000 to Montgomery merchants, to which must be added thousands of dollars paid by parents and relatives visiting lthem Every commencement and other spe- cial occasion would add its contribu- tion.
 Families would move Ito Montgomery to educate their daughters and prepare their sons for college in our excellent private schools. increasing the demand for more homes, enuring to the beneft of property owners, while our own people would educate their daughters without the expense of sending them away.
 Direct benefits would constantly flow into the hands of almost every busi- ness man, merchants of every class. builders, bankers and land owners. Those fortuante enough to own tracts of land near the college location would reap a fortune in enhanced values.
 A prominent merchant of Birming- ham is quoted as saying that he would rather have this college for girls than half dozen colleges for boys in lhis city.
 But, great as these commercial bene- fits will Ibe. the educational, ethical, moral and religious influences would outweigh them all Montgomery is pre- eminently a residence city and everything which adds to its attrac- tiveness as such lis of great value
 Cne thing should be remembered. The State has no material resources at all comparable with its citizenship and no hope of perpetuity Iexcept in the integrity and intelligence of it's people"
 Plan of Work for College.
 To formulate plans to raise the $50,- 900 and secure offers of lands, the Commercial Club appointed a commit tee lconsisting of Messrs. Ball, Bald- win, Gaston, Meertief and Cody, whose recommendations were adopted. The main provisions were that CD, no of fers for sites should be invited until the l$50,000 was raised; CD, the public should be clearly advised that the To- cation of the college would be made by the College Commission free from local influence; (3). the lclub should raise $30,000 from the Methodists be- fore asking the general public for the other $20,000; (D, an executive com mittee should lhave charge of solicit ing subscriptions and appointing a publicity committee to arouse public interest in the movement
 Accordingly. under the direction of the executive Icommittee there has been raised among the Methodists the full $3O, 900 and the Commercial Club is pledged to raise from the public the SEQ, 900.
 Ten soliciting committees have been asst gned definite territory with lists of names and amounts to be solicited to secure the necessary lamount. These committees will start each morning

 Growth of other schools.
 The growth of Randolph Macon Col 1ege at Lynchburg. Va, under similar conditions. has been marvellous and may iillustrate the possibilities of this college. In 1898 1t opened with a build ing costing s7o,oo0 and in 1906 1t had increased to over $500,000, and others are in contemplation. This iremarka- ble growth is graphically illustrated by the views on this page.
 Wesleyan Female College at Macon, Ga, has been crowded for years iand its influence throughout the State ef Georgia is beyond all comprehension.
 The College at Tuskegee. in spite of many obstacles. has made its influence felt throughout Alabama. In its his tory of fifty years 1t has educated B. 900 and graduated nearly 1000 girls. Its faculty numbers fifteen and Hts curriculum includes schools of English. history, philosophy. mathematics, sciences, ancient and modern lam guages, music. art and elocution.
 At Athens lis located the other tory is similar to that of Tuskegee. The two will be consolidated at Mont- gomery. .
 What is 1t worths
 The Commercial Club considers 1t the most valuable proposition ever made to Montgomery. Measured in dollars and lcents or by educational moral or religious standards it will be of in- calculable value. All figures must be estimates, but 1t Is certain that all Montgomery gives to 1t will ibe paid at once to It's citizens who furnish the material and labor for the buildings. Not only so, but another $50,o00 Will be brought from other parts of the State and spent here fcr the same pur- pose. The moneys for additional build

CATARRH CAN BE CURED.
Kill the Germs by Breathing Hy-O-meI.
 Gives Quick Relief.

Many people who have suffered with catarrh for years naturally feel that the disease cannot be cured, and be- como discouraged.
 Their failure to get relief is due to the fact that they have not used the right remedy. Catarrh Is an affection of the head, throat and lungs, and can not be cured by stomach dosing.
 The only scientific and natural treat ment for this disease is Hy-o-mei which Is breathed through a neat pocket inhaler. so that its healing medicated air reaches the most remote air cells, kills all catarrh germs, and restores the mucous membrane of the nose, throat and lungs to healthy condition.
 Hy-o-mei Is the only cure for catarrh that has ever been sold with the under standing that 1t was to cost absolutely nothing unless it cured. E C. Fowler sells Hy-o-mei in this way and Is al- ways ready to refund the money if 1t does not relieve and cure catarrh.
 The healing and antiseptic balsams of Hy-o-mei perform their purpose to perfection. and by using this remedy for few times each day, you can soon cure yourself of any catarrhal troubles.
 A complete Hy-o-mei outfit consist ing of a bottle of Hy-o-mei and an in- haler costs but S1.o0.

 A hard rain and thunder storm passed over Marion last night and for awhile the indications pointed to an. other storm. Lightning struck in the power house and nearly half of the town was in darkness several hours Quite a number of lights in business houses and residences were burned out.
 A representative of the American Telephone Company was in Marion Wednesday. and 1t is learned his com pany is prospecting with the view to locating a line to run from Bessener to Blocton, thence to Centreville, Ma rion.

That the American Company will fol- low this route is taken as evidence that this old survey has not been lost sight of by railroad builders and it's construction may still be looked for ward to.

Cure the Indigestion Which Is So Liable
 to Lead to ApOpIexy.
 Rush of business, eating too fast and too much, excesses of any kind, soon result in indigestion. Then when the digestive organs cannot care for the food properly the coats of the blood vessels in the brain get little nourish- ment, become brittle, and finally yield to the fierce blood pressure. One is then said to have a shock" to be par alyzed. or to die from apopiexy.
 People suffering with headache, gid diness. palpitation, sleeplessness. bad taste in the mouth, drowsiness, coated tongue, distress after eating, specks before the eyes. and any other of the many distressing results of a weak ened stomach, should profit by the dis covery of Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
 In recent years the greatest advance in medicine has been In the study of diseases of digestion and nutrition and no other prescription has proven it. self of as much value as Mi-o-na. It is relied upon as a certainty today in relieving the worst troubles of diges- tion and assimilation and making complete cure
 The strongest proof that can be off, fered in standardization of the claims that Mi-o-na will cure the worst forms of stomach trouble, cancer excepted, and give immediate relief in indfges- ton is the guarantee that E. c.

 That College Commission consists of Dr. J. M. Mason. chairman, Eufaula; Dr. A. J. Lamar, Nashville: Rev. J. M. Dannelly, Opelika: Rev. F. P Gull yer. Birmingham: Rev. J. s. Robert son. Decatur; Rev. E. M. Glenn, La fayette; F. M. Jackson, A. w. Smith. J. D. Moore, Birmingham: W. H. Sanford. Troy; W. F. Vandiver and Judge W. H. Thomas, Montgomery.
 As evidence of what may be expec- ted, consider that there are now two Methodist colleges for girls in Ala bama with a total attendance of about 800, others being turned away for lack of room. Consolidated at Mont gomery the College should open in 1908 with 800 to 400 students, which will require the erection of other buildings, for which money will be gathered from all over the State. In O few years several hundred thousand dollars will probably be spent on buildings.
 One million dollars invested in cotton mill would not yield such val uable returns as $5o.ooo in this col iege.

 The offer closes on the 25th-only four days left--$5.000 a day to be raised. or the opportunity will be lost forever.
