GENTRY BRoS.' SHOW.
Some Unique Friendships Shown
 Among Animals of This Show.

Different animals when thrown together often find peculiar affnities It is hard to conceive of d more remarkable attach ment than that which exists between an elephant and a pig with the Gentry Brothers shows.
 The pig is one of the common razor back variety from remote section of Arkansas. The elephant is a native of Delhi province in India. Despite the vast distance between their birth places, these two creatures have been thrown together in the menagerie of the Gentry Brothers shows.
 When Asia, the elephant. arrived at New York he knew not one word of English. He learned but little in his journey to the Gentry Brothers winter quarters. When Asia arrived at his new home Casey, the pig, looked upon him as he did upon all other animals To Asia the grunt of the pig was as ineligible as anything else.
 While bemoaning his fate in exile Asia one day took a nap. He was awakened by most welcome sensation The pig had strolled his way and was busily en- gagged in scratching the pachyderm's back That was the beginning of the pig elephant attachment. and now the two animals are well-nigh inseparable
 These two creatures are but a slight part of the many unusual things to be found with the Gentry Brothers shows. To enumerate what is unusual and the amusing would take too long. The child has pictured these things in it's mind, and when the Gentry Brothers shows are in Birmingham Saturday he will get his fill of anticipated wonders.

SEWANEE DEFEATS
 CASTLE HEIGHTS

sewanee, Tenn, October 12.-(Special)- J. Sewanee downed Castle Heights today by a score of 35 to ?. The teams were about evenly matched as to weight and at first it looked as though the score would be very close. Castle Heights un- corked several unique forward passes at the beginning which brought them close to Sewanee's goal. Then being forced to kick, the ball was booted squarely be- tween Sewanee's goal Browne received the put, but was thrown back of the goal line and a safety was scored for Castle Heights. Sewanees big tackle, Faulkenberry, and Evans played splen- did ball throughout, plugging through the line for gains and holding the aggre- sive Castle Heights line. Captain Mark ley played brilliantly at full, always gaining when a gain was essential. He made three of the six touchdowns and Evans kicked five out of six goals.

Themas walked filling the bases. Cobb scored on Coughlin's out to Sheckard. Mullin hit safely to Chance, scoring Ross man. This ended Detroits scoring but they had all they needed and more.
 The story of Chicagos scoring is not a long one, although it looked in that fourth inning as if the worlds champions were going to repeat their successes of Saturday and Sunday.
 After striking out Sheckard, Evers got a base on balls and the little second base man was caught off first by Mulin, raced to second and was safe on Rossman's high heave. Schulte fouled out but Chance singlng scoring Evers Chance stole second and came hame when Cough lin made bad throw of Steinfeldts grounder. Stenfeldt scored Chicago's third and last run when Hoffman tripled on a line over Coughlin's head.

THE COUNTY HIGH
 SCHOOL SITUATION
Nineteen Are Going or Ready
 to Begin
TOWNS ARE IN TROUBLE
Small Municipalities Failed To Elect Boards of Education at the Proper Time-National Building Co.
 of Birmingham Reported.

Montgomery, October 12.-(Special.)- Nineteen county high schools are either going or ready to go, of the AS that are entitled to schools of this kind under the new law. Five more are fixing to qualify, making in all 24 to meet the re- quirements of the state Eight have been located, but have not met the require ments, and no locations have been made in 16 Thus is summed up the situation with regard to the new county high schools. There is some doubt of the eligi- bility of Mobile for a high school, which, if proven good, will reduce the places yet to locate to 15.
 Locations have been made in Cherokee, Coffee, Colbert, Dale, DeKalb, Escambia, Etowah, Franklin, Geneva, Houston, Jackson, Lowndes, Macon, Madison, Ma rengo, Morgan, St. Clair, Wilcox, Win ston, all of which are qualified, with the following others as certainties for the location: Choctaw, Lamar, Lawrence, Tallapoosa, Pickens, Locations have been made but qualifications have not been re- ceived in these: Autauga Barbour, Chambers, Chiffon, Clay, Covington, Cren- shaw, Fayette. No locations have been made in these: Bullock, Butler Gle burne, Colbert, Coosa, Greene, Jefferson, Mobile, Monroe, Montgomery, Perry, Ran dolph, Russell. Walker. Washington.
 Schools Doing Well.
 The schools which have started are, as a rule making a fine showing, the white counties for the most part making the best showing of attendance. H. T.. Wallace, principal, at Fort Payne, reports fine start with 42 pupils L. M. Steven son is getting along well at Centre, and w. E. Turnipseed has gotten well under way with excellent prospects at Attalla. A thing that is expected to increase the attendance is the fact that any child can attend any schools. Pupils are not restrict ed to the county of location but may enter any school they see fit to go to.
 Those schools which have not qualified by October 15 will be regarded as de- faulted and new lociations will be made by the commission. It is thought that Cham bers will make a change, as Lafayette does not seem willing to come up to the original proposition. Autauga is expect ed to come along in a few days.

Small Towns In Trouble.

Small Towns In Trouble.
 Towns of less than 1000 people have no boards of education, except in the few cases where they were elected on Septem- Der 21 and there is no way by which they may be chosen so far as the depart ment of education is informed Under the new law they should have been elected by the people on the date mentioned, but as few knew of this hardly any were voted on. There is no way to fill the vacancies so far as known.
 In towns of over 1000 to 5000 boards are elected by the councils, but no way is provided to fill vacancies. However, it seems that the creating body may fill the vacancies. In towns of over 5000 the boards are chosen by the councils and vacancies filled by the same bodies. It has just been discovered that the smaller towns have been bereft, but as school money can be paid by the county boards to the town treasuries the schools will be able to run along.
 William F. Feagin, chief clerk to the superintendent of education, and Attorney General Garber have been looking into the law to find way out for the careless towns but have so far failed to discover it. However, it is thought things will work out all right in the end.
