Will be Thoroughly Investi-
gated by School Board.
UNDER FLOOR SYSTEM
Will Probably by Supplant-
ed by Some Other.
All Likelihood of Repetition of
the Collinwood Disaster will be
Eliminated in Marion.

At the next meeting of the Board
'of Education the ventilation Of the
various school buildings of the city
will be inquired into and 1t is ex-
pected that some startling disclosures
will be made.
AT number of school buildings the
under floor ventilating system is
used. It is claimed that the vents
under the floor are clogged with lint
and other inflammable material ana
that there Is great danger of a fire.
Recently the under floor ventilating
system of the North School building
was removed and another system in
stalled. 1t is said that in the vents
many of the timbers were found
charred and had to be removed.
showing that at some time or other
the building had been on fire under
the floor, unbeknown TO anyone. Ex-
perts on the subject say that with
the under floor system, it is "ery
easy for a fire to spread throughout
a big building, where with what Is
termed the central ventilating plan
the fire is all drawn to one point and
cannot spread as readily.
These conditions have been pointed
out to members of the board of edu-
cation, but have not been made pub
lie for fear of causing unnecessary
excitement. 1t Is understood. from
reliable source that all danger of a
repetition of the Collinwood dis,etor
IN Marion will be eliminated as soon
as 1t Is possible for the work to be
done. The under floor ventilating
system was in use az the Collinwcod
building, and man who helped in
stall the system at that school gives
the ventilating system the credit for
the rapid spread of flames.

MR, TAFT A RECORD CAMPAIGN SPENDER Already Exceeds the Mckinley Hanna S5OO,O0O Campaign STOLEN MILLIONS LOST Startling Figures of Amounts squan- dered In Wall Street Produced
 In the War On Stock
 Speculation.
BY SEWELL HAGGARD.

New York, March H.-(Special. )-If fig Ores gathered by the World are correct the Taft campaign has already cost more than the expensive Mckinley campaign under the direction of Mark Hanna. The man who is digging down into his pocket is Charles P. Taft, owner of the Gin cinnati Times-Star, a brother of the can didate.
 The expense of the Taft campaign reached on December l, last, the limit established by Mark Hanna in 1896, $500, D00 Hanna broke the record when he started in to spend money to nominate and elect Mckinley. According to Han mas own admissions in private, the en- tire amount of his expenditures from the day he started in to boom Mckinley to the date of the Presidents election, was $500,000. In the case of Taft this limit was reached before a single dele gate had been elected outside of Alaska.
 Since that date, three months ago, an additional quarter of a million has been spent The total expenditure to date is s75oOO0. and the monthly expense is in creasng in geometreal ratio. Each month sees not alone the expense of the month before, but new ways of spend ing. The irruption of Frank H. Hitch- cock and his large and expensive staff into the Taft boom, for instance, boosted the expenditure away beyond what it was month before.
 If you listen to the anti-Taft sena-

Hepner Ore, lost 300 lives and damaged millions of dollars worth of property.
 It is rather surprising to note the amount of damage reported in the United States from lightning. The latest report of the weather bureau on the subject shows that there were 5527 strokes or lightning which did damage during that fiscal year. and that the number of build ings injured or destroyed thereby was 6256 valued at $3,016000. From tables TOT other years this seems to be apout fair average. There were 56S people Killed and s2O injured by lightning during the year and nearly 5000 head of live stocK killed
 The Washington monument at Wash ington, D. C.. has lent itself to many sci entifc investigations One of these re- lated to lightning In 1886 during a se- we're storm a man stationed himself In the top of the monument with an electro meter to determine whether lightning flashes tended to lessen the tension of electricity in the air me instrument showed that they did.
 One of the most striking illustrations of the influence of wires over lightning is the case of a telephone line in Vir- ginla Prior to 1896 there was single wire on small poles for a distance of 12 miles, Every electrical storm seemed to carry destruction to many of the poles of that line. When lightning Woulu slrlke at the top of a hill every pole to the base of the next hill was likely to be shivered. Then another company acquired the line, and replaced it with a new one, carrying today ten wires. At every tenth post piece of common galvanized wire was planted in the ground, and stapled to the post without insulation of any kind. It projects about six inches from the top of the post. In the Il years that have elapsed since the new line was built not a post has been struck. Prior to that time not a summer passed without there being anscore or more shivered.
 The weather is full of freaks Just before the vernal equinox of 1885 at Bloomington, H., three-quarters of an inch of snow fell from an absolutely clear sky. In 1886, near Whitehall, H., hail stones, some said to be as big as goose eggs, fell to a depth of from eight to twelve inches. In Iowa, on one oc- casion, hall stones as big as a mans fist fell in such volume as to cover the ground to the depth of from two to three feet.
 With the coming of spring there ap- pears the usual number of weather and near-weather prophets. One of the most widely acclaimed of these says that we arc going to have some hot weather next summer. The weather bureau, jealous of its prerogatives, replies that we are pretty sure to have some rather cold spells next winter. But in spite of them all the weather continues to act independently. and to hide it's real secrets from those who would proclaim them to a waiting world.

THIS DAY IN
 HISTORY OF
 BIRMINGHAM

March 22, 1886:
 The following story is clipped from The Birmingham Age of this date:
 Sunday morning when the 1:05 passen- ger train on the Georgia Pacific road Ieft the depot there were three men on board They were H. F. DeBardele- pen, Augustine T. Smythe of Charleston and an Age reporter.
 A few days ago while talking to the reporter in the office of Alfred Brainerd MT. DeBardeleben said:
 T have a big scheme working that Will be news to the people of Birming- nam, which will develop in a few days"
 The past month MT. Smythe who rep resents party of capitalists of Charles ton, s. C., has been closeted with MT. DeBardeleben examining certain lands and titles. What this meant no one has known until the Age presents the story this morning. When the three men stepped aboard all scattered and were soon apparently sleeping in their respec- tive seats. MT. DeBardeleben' head rested on large mysterious roll wrapped securely in white paper.
 The party stopped at the Kimball house Qn Atlanta.) MT. DeBardeleben was as- signed room No. 446 and MT. Smythe No. 444. After breakfast the three fellow travellers met
 MT. DeBardeleben said to the reporter Hello, what are you doing here?''
 The reply was, What are you doing here?"
 "oh, nothing; only going over to Charleston on a little business.
 Docs 1t mean good to Birmingham?'
 Come up to my room and We will see.'
 MT. Smythe left the two and went to his room. In MT. Debardelebens room was the mysterious roll which he began to unwrap. It was a large map of the min eral district of North Alabama, highly colored and plated off to show the pos sessions of different parties. He said as he pointed to a spot on the map 13 miles below Birmingham around Jonesbore: Here is where we are going to estab- fish a young city, and call it Brook lyn. I am now on my way to Charles ton with Mr Smythe and we are going to organize a company of l3 with capi- tai of s2OO0,000 for the purpose of oper- ating We are going to build up a city there that will contain eight furnaces, within two years. We propose to extend two railroad lines touching at Tusca- loosa and another outlet to be determined on. We are going to build the city solid from the bottom and establish it on rock financial basis.
 No stockholder will be allowed to come in who can't make smoke. It will take $1O0000 to come in and the man who can make the most smoke can have the most stock''
 What is your object in going so far from Birmingham to do all this?''
 My dear sir, 13 miles is not far from Birmingham. In less than 25 years the two cities will have a population of 100000. The story of the place is not yet told. It is only a village. I have bought in the past two weeks s125,00o in real estate centrally located, that I paid high prices for That property is not for sale in Birmingham. I am going north and place it on the market"
 When will you begin operation on your proposed scheme?"

REPAIRS HAVE BEGUN.
People of Girard Want Russell County
 Court House,

Girard, March 21.-(Special)-The Russell county officers have moved from their offices in the court house at Scale, and the contractors, an Atlanta firm, have begun the work of remodel ing the old building.
 Tn the meantime, advocates of the removal of the county seat from Scale to Girard, and building a new court house in this city, are actively at work circulating petition to the governor that he order an election on this sub ject.
 Scale people claim that the advo- cates of removal have waited too long if they intend to undertake to restrain the commissioners from expending money, taking the position that they should have taken action before the building was placed in its present con dition.
 The necessary petitions will go to the governor, however, and those who are behind the movement say that there will be such a number of names on them that the ordering of an cleo ton will be the proper thing.

The country at large will be delighted to know that Newport, the seat Of society summer fashion and fads, is going to re- form. Newport has made it's share Of American history In colonial days 1t was a great slaving port, and when the war of the revolution began it was com mercal power and an intellectual capital. Then the British burned the town, dis aster from which it has never entirely re- covered.
 In the old days society at Newport was grand, slow and courtly, but thoroughly epjoyable;" there were no society cir- cuses, no chimpanzee dinners or other frivolous festivals. Washington and Roehambeau visited the old town in 17S1, pretty Peggy Champlin led the dance with the American commander-in-chief. How startling it is to skip down to the ls9Os when we have Count Boni de Cas- tellane there as an honored guest. But Newport promises to be good. We are told that the "old set'' will once more take charge of the social festivities.

tors you will find this $750OOO estimate laughed at as utterly inadequate. It Is, however, based on admissions made in private by Taft leaders.
 William Randolph Heart four years ago achieved a considerable reputation as a spending candidate. As a matter of fact, Hearst is entitled to rank as a piker in comparison with Taft. There never was a month of Hearst's candidacy which showed an expenditure equal to a single week oftTafts. One man who was on the Hearst payroll in those days deserted him and went over to August Belmont, who was running the financial end of the Parker boom, and when questioned as to the reason, replied: "I found that there was no elasticity to Hearst's leg" No human being has yet found occasion to make that criticism of the leg of Charles P. Taft.
