The sen timent of the convention. however, as shown by an informal rising vote, was so strongly for Senator Vahey that MT, Brown, who was 0 delegate, asked that the nomination of his opponent be made unanimous.

Facuity of Alabama Brenau College Give a RecifaI

Give . Recital.
 Euiauia. Oct. 1.--(Special.) )-The faculty of the Alabama Brenau gave a recital in the Chautauqua Theatre nere tonight which was largely at- tended and greatly enjoyed. The pro- gram was made up of piano. violin ana clarionette selections, which were contribut uted by Miss Matta Powell, pr. Ii. C. Wulf, Mrs. H. J. Pearce and Prof. s. V. DeTrinnis and some ex- ceiient selections in oratory by Miss charlotte DeVine of that department, all of which were of high and un- usual order ana quite faultlessly ren- dered. The occasion was largely at tended and has been pronounced a most excellent one in every detail.
 The End Regiment Band of the city are rehearsing nightly for a sacred concert which they will give at the theatre at an early date.
 Rev. W. A. Talliaferro, of Opelika, reached the city yesterday morning and delivered a sermon to large gath ering at the new Baptist Church last night. While has not yet given out his decision as to accepting the call here 1t is earnestly hoped that he will do so. MT. Talliaferro made a good impression not only as a most able and eloquent pulpit orator but one whose pleasant demeanor will fast win hosts of warm friends in any locality.
 George Vaughn exhibited a Japanese persimmon here yesterday which he plucked from a tree that was grown by Col. E. 1T. Graves at Conner. While the specimen was not matured it weighed three quarters of pound and was beauty to behold. Mir. Vaughn stated that the tree contained fully two bushels of the fruit which when fully ripe would weigh from one to one and half pounds and were of excellent flavor and sweetness.
 Mir. and Mrs. D. l.. Russell have returned from Philadelphia, where they went about ten days ago to &C., company the remains of their mother, Mrs. Smith, who died in this city.
 New pupils continue to come in and the Brenau management has been forced to secure rooms adjoining the college building to accommodate them. The institution is enjoying a patron age of which the citizens justly feel proud.
 The old steamer formerly used for fire purposes has been thoroughly over hauled and put in condition for ser- vice. It has been tested and will be placed on college hill where the ele- vation interferes with the water works and will be used for the protection of citizens there.

 St. Louis. Oct. l.--The hearing which tho interstate commerce commission Is con- ducting here to protest against increased
 freight rates to and from the southwes, l will be completed in Austin. Texas, ant
 Washington. D. C., according to announce ment made today.
 The sessions at Austin will be held late
 in November and the Washington hearings l will follow 1t at time not yet determin- | ed The proceeding in St. Louis will prob- | ably terminate tomorrow.
 This change in program was decided upon at the request of the officers of the Texas Railroad Commission according to Commits | sioner Lane. The compiainants said that many of their witnesses were unable to reach St. Louis for two weeks and counsel for the railroads agreed to the postpons- ment of this testimony. R. A.. Thompson. engineer of the Texas commission took the stand today. He dis cussed the construction. costs and present valuations of various railroads and also the relative value of supplies and materials as between 1903 and 1906.
 Columbus Hale, vice president of the Missouri. Kansas and Texas Railway asserted on the. witness stand that not to be able to con CT with other railroad officials regarding rate. increases and ascertain that similar action would be taken in the event that ruling rates were confiscatory, would mean bank ruptcy for the lines.
 The statement was adduced to re- flute an apparent attempt of Attorney Cowan to show that rates would be raised over the country as a result of a conference in Chicago.
 Mir. Hale said he had been present at the conference with Mir. Stubbs, trafic manager of the Hartman lines. who is accredited with calling the meeting of the Southwestern Tariff Commission which put the increases into effect.
 The witness testified that no fixed percentage of increase was determin- ed upon although he had decided to instruct his subordinates to increase approximately ten per cent.

"osernment's Suit To Dissolve The
 Standard OH Company.

c0ht Dl0NOIvG The
 Standard Oil Company.
 Chicago. Oct. 1.-Henry E. Felton president of the Union Tank Line Com. pany, and formerly general frefkbt agent for the Chicago and Easfern Illinois Railroad Company, occupied the witness stand all day today when inc government suit to dissolve the Stand ara oil Company was resumed.
 Prior to the enactment of. the in. terstate commerce law in 1887 Mir. Feiton said that the railroads made few tariffs. They underbid each other ruthIessly by means of reba tes. to SC. cure large shipments or to retain as customers important shippers already on their lists. From time to time "gentlemen's agreements" were entered into to maintain rates but there was al ways some road which tempted, by a heavy shipment would violate 1t and presently all the roads would be rebat- ing again.
 Witness said that of the petroleum shipped in 1904 SS 1-2 per cent was the property of the Standard oil Com pany, but in 1908 he said the proportion was only 51 per cent. indicating, he said. the growth of independent con- cerns.

 mand.
 For several months rrior to the late financial stringency. the demand for subsidiary coins was so ..s.ive as to necessitate the operation of the hints to their full capacity, but the demand fell off until there was an ac- emulation In the treasury in April last, of about 27,000,000 in standard dollars and 26.000,o00 in subsidiary coins.
 Early in the summer the call for silver dollars became more active and soon the supply was practically ex- hausted. Attention was then directed to the halves and other subsidiary coins with the result that there Is now 21,000, 900 available. notwithstand- ing the fact that in September $634,- 900 in silver subsidiary was coined and added to the stock on hand.

Is a single narrow room with one tiny,

The furniture consists of one big
