used what were called clog almanacn,
which remained I'm usc TN the begin

writer thus describes them:
"This almanac is usually a square
piece OF wood containing three months
on each OF the four edges. The number
of DAYS ia them are expressed by
notches the FIRST day by a notch with
a patulous stroke turned up from IL
and every seventh by a large sized
notch over against many Of the notch
es are placed on the left hand several
marks or symbols denoting the golden
number or cycle of the moon. The fes-

cHnDRERS CHORUS FOR
 BIG MUSICAL FESTIVAL
Already This Feature of the Big Enter taiREnent is Attracting Wide
 Attention.

A rehearsal of the children's chorus which will collaborate with Innes's Band in the production of Americans" Monday and Tuesday nights will be held at the Grand at o'clock this morning. Three hundred children will be present at the rehearsal and the oc- casion will be one of great interest.
 The chorus promises to be a very en- tertaining feature of the band concerts. Special attention has been paid to training the voices which will partici- pate in the singing and results obtain ed indicate that the singing of the chorus will constitute an enjoyable nov city. To Miss Sachs. the efficient direc- tor of the chorus, belongs the credit for the excellence attained by the children m such a snort period of preparation. The rehearsal today will be under her charge.
 A picture of the chorus taken last week was on exhibition yesterday on Dexter Avenue and 1t attracted much attention. About 800 faces were shown In the group. and the likenesses were excellent
 Tn this connection 1t may be stated that the concerts which will be given by the Innes band Monday and Tuesday ? of next week have received broad mo- kice throughout the State, and are the subject of increasing interest A prom inent citizen of GreenvilIe who was In Montgomery yesterday stated that the people of his town musicaIly inclined were discussing little else except the approaching event. It appears proba- ble that large delegations from other cities win come to Montgomery to hear the famous band perform.

MONEY Is BORROWED
crTY,s NOTE FOR sloo,ooo IS ExE-
 CUTED.
Mayor, in Accordance With Act of Council Monday Night, Completes Negotiations With First
 National Bank.

The celebrated money has been bor- rowed and Is now In bank to the city's credit. The amount Is $100,000. the rate of interest Is per cent. and the term of the note will be ended January IS. 1909.
 The execution of the note terminates negotiations in which Mayor Teague has been opposed by the Council in a manner that made news. When he an- nounced, after having been authorized by the Council to borrow money, he had done so and was ready to have It's sanction placed formally upon the agreement made by him and the First National Bank, the other party t6 the transaction. the Council after series of meetings in which the matter was thoroughly discussed gave, so to speak, . Scotch verdict.
 "You have made poor trade" was the sense of the verdict, "but if you feel that you are morally bound and the city Is morally bound to carry it through, go ahead"
 Afterwards, at another meeting, a motion to reconsider was made but the motion was lost.
 Mayor Teague has said little public- ly about the negotiations. He remark ed yesterday that he thought entirely too much had been made of 6 little The city, he said. had borrowed money at one rate and merely for the fact that money afterwards became cheaper sh ouid not abrogate It's agreement.
 The money borrowed Is purposed to pay the current expenses of the city during the term between the present and the end of the year.

NEW PLAN FOR
 INSTITUTES One to Be Held in Each
 District. MR GUNNELS MAKES OFFER Local Aid Will Increase Institutes
 Efficiency Any Town Raising sioo wIl Be Given Faad of slss fer
 I've Weeks an-
 stitute.

To get the best results in the teach CTS institutes to be held this summer in each of the Congressional districts, Hon. Harry c. Gunnels, State Superin- tendent of Education. has announced a new plan of distributing the States appropriation for this purpose. He announced yesterday that he win d. rect the institute to be held in thet place whose citizens pledge $l00 to assist in the work
 The Department of Education will have at its disposal this year a total appropriation of s1.200 for these Con- gressoinal district institutes. This means that each district will be entitled to Sl33.33. This amount has been ayail- able since the new Code went into ef- feet on May 1. Previously the appro- priation was only $500 for holding the institutes, the increase having come at the last session of the Legislature.
 The law provides that the State su- perintendent of Education shall hold or cause to be held in each of the dis tricts teachers institute during the summer months, such institutes to con- tinue for not less than one week. By the device of locating the institute in that city or town which first offers d cash guarantee of s100 to combine with the States gift of s13s33, double the benefits can be obtained.
 It IS nBufed Dy the Department that $23s.33 can easily procure two first class educators for two weeks in the respective districts. and furnish a sur. plus for the expenses over salaries. Such an arrangement would be suc- cessful in bringing the best talent to these institutes as the compensation of $50 week to each lecturer or educator will always draw men worth listening to.
 The belief is that the teachers this summer will attend the institutes of the districts in much larger numbers than sley have ever done before. The occasions give them tho opportunity of exchanging their theur cs and prac- tices of teaching all grades in a more profitable and detailed manner than is offered otherwise.
 The Department now stands ready to receive the offers of those places which want the teachers in their presence this summer for at least two weeks The propositions must be bona hda offers of $i00 cash and no less. The first offer of this amount gets the con- vention of teachers

CHANGES IN
 MAIL ROUTES Suburban System in Montgomery Altered. NO CHANGE DOWN TOWN Outlying District of City Will
 Suffer Most. Proposed Change Has Been Under Con- alteration some Months--Made
 when Two Inspectors Came
 To Tewn.

Two postal inspectors came to town yesterday from somewhere and yester- day evening departed for somewhere else. but in the short time in which they stayed in Montgomery they suc- ceeded in "balling up" the delivery portion of the city. saying that the Montgomery post office receipts did not warrant such fine attention.
 All of he routes of the delivery mail- men have been radically changed and some persons who have been getting their mail for the past fifteen years will have to trust to the Rural Free Delivery carriers for their letters and packages in the future. The downtown section of the city does not suffer in the least, as the postal inspectors left that section of the city severely alone.
 The hours for collection in the in the residential portion of the city have been changed radically. Heretofore all mail has been collected in the after moons at o'clock by the carrier on a special trip. The postal inspectors de- cided that this was too much work for them during the heated months. and the mail will he taken up at the time of the second delivery. All mail placed in boxes after this second de- livery will remain in the box until 6 o'clock the next morning.
 Again the downtown section of the city was undisturbed, the carriers nak- ing their regular three trips after nightfall for business communications.
 It has been rumored for some time past that radical changes would be made. but it was not known until yes- terday that the postal inspectors had come to town. In their recommend ations to the Washington office the change is to change is to take effect at once, and the local post oflce was so advised.
 This morning the mailman will not come to your door with his cherry whistle announcing news from afar-- that is for those persons who live in the outlying portions of the city.
