 The proprietors of the American house, whom he owes board bill, and several Anniston merchants, to whom he gave information as to the location of one, R. l.. Patrick, who came here recently and secured a five years lease on a building as the alleged representative of Louis vile firm, whom he said wanted to es- tablish a. hardware store in the city.

 Safety of Schools.
 Since the Collinwood O., fire there has been much anxiety in Anniston in re- gard to the possibility of a duplication of the disaster in this city Superintend- ent D. R. Murphy and Messrs, Ullman and Weatherly of the board of education have taken the matter in hand and are making a rigid investigation of all the schools of the city to safeguard then against possible fires
 However, there never has been very great danger of fire horrors in the An niston schools because most of the build ings have more than one exit, and being of only one and two stories high, it would not be difficult to rescue the chill dren before the flames made much head way. The fire drill was adopted at the Anniston schools last year, and it is now working like charm.
 The Pine Avenue and the seventeenth Street negro) schools are the only ones in Anniston that have doors opening in- ward, and this defect will be immediate ly remedied, as will every other defect which is calculated to jeopardize the lives of the little students.

 law. ,.
