West End Council Meeting Promis
To Be Warm, But More Time
Was Given.

West Ends "red-het" council meeting
last night resulted in a jollifcation. The
crowd was there with the intention of
making things rise to a point of excess
sive heat, but it was found not neces-
sary.
The delegation was composed of resi-
dents of the eastern end of the town,
known as Princeton. Their visit was for
the express purpose of demanding an
explanation of the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen as to what they had done with
the city's finances during the past year,
there being rumblings of discomfort as
to the manner in which the city had
been run.
The demand of the citizens was granted
by the council, who asked until the next
meeting, two weeks hence, in which to
prepare a statement of the towns condl-
ton. This satisfied the crowd of "heat
producers" who stated that they would
be on hand at that time to hear reading
Of it.

The pig iron market, which has been
uncommonly active for two weeks or more,

Considerable sums of money had been
distributed in these fields of destitution
before the relief committee took charge
of the situation, and after going over
the entire territory with sufficient care
to secure every name and the amount OF
loss sustained by each individual, the
committee feels called upon to commend
the generous hearted people who so liber-
ally contributed to the needs of their
unfortunate fellows, and IT affords us
great qualification to state that distress
has been relieved and people heartened
again for lifes battle who, without this
manifestation of kindness. would have
been in hopelessness and without pos
siblity of providing for their daily bread.
The committee has been in communiea-
ton with the United States government
and such necessities as bedding, tents.

lasses and necessary utensils for house,

Alumni Association of Birmingham Col
lege held short meeting for the pur-
pose of eecting officers for the ensuing
year. The following men were elected:
President, Charles E. Rice: vice presi-
dent, w. H. Spenser; secretary and
treasurer, Hugh Locke The minutes Of
the last meeting, which occurred last
June were read and adopted. President
Rice suggested that the college should
issue a magazine during the next SEES
sion. This met the approval of the
alumni and all agreed to see that this
was done. Another subject that was
brought up was the plan of having class
reunions at the future commandments
After giving a rising vote of thanks 20
the officers for the work that they had
done during the past year, the meeting
| adjourned until this morning at $3.50
o'clock.
Speaking of the growth and prospects
of Birmingham College, Mr.. Rice said:
Il believe today marked an epoch IN
the history of our college. Never before
have | seen such enthusiasm as WAS
exhibited in the alumni banquet. The
cay of the old Owenton College has
passed and in it's stead we will soon see
a magnificent university arise from its
ruins. The people of North Alabama
are now beginning to see the need of
great school situated in Birmingham and
are willing to work in order that their
wishes may develop into something
tangible. Altogether I think that this
cay has been not only an enjoyable one
but also a profitable one, both to our
selves and to Birmingham College"
The Rev. Culver Last Niuht.
Last night at O'Clock the Rev. Frank
f. Culver of Birmingham delivered the
annual address before the Alumni of
birmingham College. The hall at Owen
ton was packed to its fullest capacity
when DIR. Culver rose to speak. His sub
ject was 1.-THE Influence of Methodism
on the Educational Institutions of This
State''
He began his address by tracing the
history of the establishment of denomi-
national schools and colleges in this
state and brought his subject up to the
present time. He contended that the
Methodists were pioneers in the establish
ment of such institutions in Alabama
and that they were still at the front.
In his speech he made the interesting
statement that this year is the GEN.
tennial of Methodism in Alabama, and
these exercises were peculiarly appro-
pirate on that account.
Today Will Mark Close.
Today will mark the closing of the
college. This morning the diplomas aud
medals will be presented by President
j. H. Mccoy and on that account an ex-
ceedingly large crowd is expected to be
on hand when the final exercises be-
gin. At 10 o'clock the graduating class
will hold their oratorical contest and at
II o'clock, Sidney j. Bowie of this city
will make the address, after which the
diplomas will be presented.

cial mention be made of the music

Featherstone for Governor

It0as announced last night by the
friends of Mr.. G. G. Featherstone, Of
Laurens, that he would be candidate
for governor. Mr.. Featherstone's
friends have for several days been in
conference on the political situation
and after looking over the field de-
cided to authorize the use of his name.
Mr.. Featherstone has been a life
long prohibitionist, and in 1898 made
the campaign for governor against
Gov. Ellerbe on that platform. With
1900 more votes he would have been
elected, despite the prestige given
Gov. Ellerbe by the fact that the lat
ter had served one term as chief ez1-
ecutive, and during that time had had
the organization of two regiments OF
militia and an independent battalion
for the Spanish-Ame erican war.
Mr.. Featherstone's entrance into
the race will add to the interesting
situation already developed, and
doubtless will cause other announce
ments for or against entrance within
the next few days from those who
have been spoken of by their friends.
