ADVANCED STEP BY BOARD

Anniston, October I-(Speeial.) )-The County Board of Education adjourned here Wednesday afternoon after having adopted rules for the governing of the county superintendent. the trustees teach CTS and pupils of the county schools, the feature of these rules being q strict ban on the use of tobacco during school hours, and the total exclusion of smokers of cigarettes.
 The rules prohibit the use of tobacco in any form by either teachers or pupils on the grounds of the schools, and pupils or teachers who are addicted to the use of cigarettes will not be admitted to the schools at all. Another interesting fea- ture of the rules is that which requires the county superintendent to visit every school in his district at least once a year. Superintendent Persons says that on these visits he will give his personal attention to the anti-tobacco edict and enforce it to the letter. notwithstanding the state ment of well known attorney that this will be impossible.
 At the meeting Wednesday a commit tee, consisting of T. H. Watson Chat chic; o. B. Myrick, Weaver; w. J. Young Eulation; S. J. Mccall, Piedmont, and w. L. Holdridge, Coldwater, was appointed to draft graded course of study for the county schools.
 There are now 13,959 children of school age in Calhoun county and under the increased per capita appropriation of g. 49 this county will receive $S4, ,657.91 as it's pro rata of the state school fund
 Woman Is Injured.
 Having been thrown from a carriage which she was driving and the vehicle running over her body, Mrs w. D. Ross well, about 60 years old, was seriously and maybe fatally injured on East Tenth street near Noble Wednesday afternoon about o'clock. Mrs. Roswell was holding the horses while they drank at public fountain. They became frolicsome and lurching to one side threw Mrs. Roswell to the ground. This frightened the ami mals and they ran, two wheels of the carriage passing over Mrs. Roswells body just above the hips. Unless she suffered internal injuries it is believed that she will recover, though her advanced age makes her injuries very serious
