No, i trunk cable of the Southern Bell Telephone company was completely burned out at an early hour this morning by coming in contact with what is known as wire No. 13,000 of the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company on Twen- ty-first street. This wire carries 13,000 volts, and is the most powerful one in the city. It is the one that supplies all of the current for the arc lights in the city. and besides a great deal of the cur rent is used for other purposes. When the two became mixed up it was all off with the cable, and it is now complete wreck. The phone service to Birming- ham was put out of business for some time, but by good work the phones were gotten in working order again about noon.

Columbus, Ga, January 12.-(Speelai)- The modern idea of popular educatlon' to train the hand as well as the head. mas again been rather strikingly illustrated in this community.
 Negro Baptists of Columbus have filed in court a formal application for charter for a college, to be located near the city limits on land donated by a white friend, and the petition states that prominent III the curriculum of the institution will be industrial training. It was just few years ago that Greek and Latin were considered by the negro race the crown ing glory of the education of their chii- dren, and the academic courses were em- phasized by colored institutions of learn ing to the almost total exclusion of more practical education. It is, therefore, sig nifcant of the changed ideas on this sub feet when a charter is applied for for a negro college which proposes to teaeh such prosaic but exceedingly useful and practical things as cooking, sewing, lann- dering. carpentering, forging, etc. The college will of course have it's academic features but training the pupils for the things they are to do after they leave

clmens in the world that can properly
be called blue diamonds. Black and
rose colorcd diamonds are also rare; .
while the green varieties are not 50
uncommon. The grass green is scarce,
and when it does occur, ii is more
brilliant than tho finest emerald.
There are several varieties of green
