 Brown of Harvard" was the play at
 the opera house last night with James
 Young in the leading role, but MT.
 Young did not appear. His part was
 rendered by an understudy who did not know his lines perfectly, having to be
 audibly prompted at intervals. The performance Is highly meritorious, the
 actors far better than the average, but
 James Young's n-appearance was a bit disappointing. Corinne, in Lola from Berlin" appears tomorrow even

 the CarnegieS library today at noon The college has local system of wa
 ter works, but the supply of water was totally inadequate to stop the flames. The city department responded prompt ly but could be of but little assistance because of limited water supply. Some of the crowd assembled who were en- gagged in moving furniture out of the burning building lost their heads com pletely. One negro had to be knock ed down to stop his wild handling of the furniture. One man carried a stove up stairs and threw it from an upper window. Another threw wardrobe on top of the cad of Foot Stone, a locally we'll known negro, and smashed the
 wardrobe into kindling wood, but Foot Stone was not seriously hurt. The loss is said to be covered by insurance. A party of 50 or more visited Bir- mfngham over the Atlanta Birming- l ham and Atlantic railroad from this city yesterday to take in the circus and the Merry Widow" returning at

month the very best possible bid for the location, and if it did he felt sure the college would be located here.
 Dr. Anderson, who has worked enthus- astically for Anniston as the home of the college from the first, made a short speech presenting the advantages of the college to the city. He urged the citi zens to go to the synod with proper bid and encouraged the belief that they would win in the fight. A committee will can vass for subscriptions this week and be in readiness for the meeting of the synod on November 10.
 Soil Survey Work.
 L. A. Hurst of Washington, D. C., who is making a soil survey of this county in connection with P. H. Avery, the special ist who was employed by the state un der the provisions of the $10,000 appropria- tion made by the last Alabama legisla ture, was at the Alabama hotel today, and when asked his work he stated that the Calhoun survey is nearing comple- ton.
 MT. Hurst is under the employ of the government, and is in this city en route to his home in Indiana, where he will enjoy short vacation before joining his co-worker, who is now stationed at Vel lington. They having just finished an analysis of the soil in the neighborhood of Weaver and Jacksonville.
 Workmen Imported.
 Former employees of the Western Steel Car and Foundry company in Anniston have resented the rumors that they had threatened violence as a result of the i'm. portation of non-union labor to operate the plant, pending a settlement of differ ence between the union and the officials scale which was submitted some time ago Headed by Superintendent Pritchard of Bessemer, a number of workmen were imported last night. They were met at the station by Chief of Police Sweets and other officers, but local labor leaders say this was absolutely unnecessary as there has been no authoritative sugges- tion of contemplated violence. P. C.. Jenks. general purchasing agent of the Western and Pressed Steel companies, ar rived in the city last night from Pitts burg and held a lengthy conference with Manager Wrenshall and Purchasing Agent Hudson of the local plant.
 Notes and Personals. Mr. and Mrs. Wade Allen and family will leave on December 1 for Rich mond, Va, where MT. Allen has ac- cepted most lucrative position with MT. Wolfons of the Woodstock company. MT. Allen and his charming family hold a warm place in the hearts of Annistonians and their removal to Virginia causes much regret in a large circle of friends. MT. and Mrs. Thomas E. Kilby enter tained at a handsomely appointed dinner last evening in honor of Benjamin Micou of Washington City, the guest of Captain and Mrs. Pelham Agee. MT.

WATCH YOUR TONGUE,
Ii Furred and Coated il is a Warming of
Trouble to Come.

When it is the morning after the
night before you do not have to look at
your tongue to know that the stomach
is upset, the head is aching with a dull
rhythm, and that all the world looks
dreary.
The real time to watch the tongue is
all of the time. If it is coated with
white fur, or possibly with dark trim
mings, even though the stomach does
not tell you by the acute pains of indi-
gestion that it needs help, yet the coat
ing shows that you are getting into a
bad way and that there is need of
Mi-O-na.
Mi-o-na is so positive, so sure, so re-
liable in its curative action upon the
stomach that Laurens Drug Co., the
local agents, give an absolute guarantee
with every 50-cent box the sell to re-
fund the money unless the remedy gives
absolute and complete satisfaction.

Fire Danger in Schools.

In a recent issue of the Insurance
Press list of 800 or 400 American
cities whose school houses were lacking
in fire protection to degree that the
lives of the pupils are not free from
danger was published. This list in
cluded half dozen or more of the
principal cities and towns in South Car
olina, but in all of the states.
1--WE do not write insurance on school
houses; our companies instruct us not
to, said one of the most prominent
fire insurance officials in the South (not
Charleston man, "The hazard of
of fire is greater than in almost any
other class of buildings"
The same gentleman, and he is an
authority, said: every school building
should be equipped with exterior metal
exits, and the children should be drilled
to use them. Once the interior of a
building is filled with smoke, the fire
drill, no matter how thorough, cannot
prevent panic and the number Of inte-
rior stairways and exits cannot be great
enough to insure safety"
The immediate or early reformation
of all the defective school houses of
more than one story in South Carolina
is not to be hoped for. Progress towards
Improvement must necessarily be slow,
but ought to be steady and sure. The
time should come when the danger of
"Collinwood disaster" will not exist in
South Carolina.
Meantime, new school buildings are
being erected in South c. rolina and of
each proper fire escapes S. uld he feat
ures. At comparatively trivial ex-
pense, external metal starways could
be constructed and they should always
be included in the architects plans and
specifications. The News and Courier.

FROM TALK TO WORK.

The talk about the railroad line from
West Point to Urbanna seems at hast
to be taking shape in real action, a
party of engineers having left Rich
mond s. few days ago to survey the
line between these points, which is
about 20 miles. AS the grade is al
most level there should be, no large
work save that of bridging the Malta
poni. The road will be run with cleo
tricity and will be of ahigh-speed.
Northern capitalists are said to be back
of the enterprise.
LAS soon as the preliminary survey
is finished and approved by those back
ing the movement" says the Richmond
News-Leader: work will be rushed at
once and actual construction begun, as
the engineers are ready for the work. -
That those behind the movement
are DESTROYS of losing no time was as
sured when it became known that the
construction is to be started by or
about, September lst. if possible, and
the road ready for operation by the
new year or as quickly thereafter as
can be.
The plans are said to include connec-
ton with the Southern railway at West
Point for the present, and subsequently,
to run an independent line into Rich
mond from Urbanna.
