Now the RoIIinu Mill.

Since it has been learned that the steel plant has started up again in Ensley it is believed it will only be a question of few days before the rolling mill in this city is opened up. When the steel plant is working on full time it means that some work has to be done at the rolling mill and it is the general impression that the time is not far distant when the mill will be in full blast.
 This is a long looked for move and it will mean great deal to the many men who formerly worked there. With the rolling mill the furnaces around Bessemer and the mines running along on full time everything in this city will take on new life and it will look Ike the Bessemer of old.

advance of his day in educational r ters. Many of the plans which ha been only lately adopted by the colleg' and universities of the United St; are simply the carrying out of Je sons ideals. For instance, the gre. change from the old Proeusteah cd cational bed on which all students We necessarily reduced to the same mea ure of acquirement, to the modern ele tive system was first planned by Je ferson.
 Jefferson wished to invite every nomination in the state to establish college in connection with ths l,r versity. He wish ed their students receive their classical, scientihe nc ma tn ematical instruction from the In denomination to have adjacent to tR' university a home for it's students where special instruction sh ould b. given. This plan. if it had been car ried out during the last hundred yea 2. would have spared to the United States the great waste of the energy a"o means expended by hundreds of stai'V. ing colleges.
 Some of the western states are ju now adopting Jeffersons plan to tb great advantage of their students. the least important result of such plan is the broadening of mind heart which result from the interconrs of the students with men of vanis forms of belief, yet all deserving ofH spect and confidence. t 5aq
