 For Governor.
DISCUSSIONS ARE GENERAL

Montgomery, January 29.-.(Special.) )-The visit of the state board for the location of high schools to Clayton Tuesday night resulted in one of the most enthusiastic gatherings for education in the state for some time The regular order of the ses- sions was changed so that Governor Conner spoke first he being at the home of his boyhood, among his neighbors and friends for many years. Superintendent of Education Gunnels and Auditor Brandon followed. The meeting was presided over by Judge Williams, the Judge being his given name and not a title.
 The first meeting of the present trip, however, was held at Midway, Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. There were pres- ent a large number of citizens but not nearly so many as gathered at Clayton, and also without anything like the enthu- slasm that was shown in the Barbour county town. Clayton offers a handsome building, worth at least $l0,0O0, with a guarantee of supplementing the 5000 of the state to make the school a great success. After Clayton the party went to Louisville and Clio.
 Discussions Are General.
 As a general rule the three speakers take advantage of these trips to not only fully post themselves on the sites and ad- vantages of the places visited for the school locations, but talk of the needs and the demands for education as a whole. Superintendent Gunnels usually opens up with an explanation of the law under which the schools are to be To- cated, followed by a general discussion of education and educational progress in the state. General Brandon follows with an education speech pure and simple, leaving out everything but the school talk and the good that will come from educa- tion as whole.
 Governor Conner, as rule, devotes most or practically all of his talks to educa- tion in the state, past and present, the good of it and needs that now confront

PRISONER LEAv $ COURT

Selma, January 29-(Special.) .)-Tomorrow will see the commencement of work for the completion of which Selma has been securing of a government building in this city. With a senator or a member of Con- gress from Dallas county continually in the Congress of the United States, it was singular that this beautiful central city of Alabama has had to wait so long for a public building.
 It was hardly the fault of those who represented this district and the state in Congress. but it seemed decreed by fate that something should come up to make the plans miscarry. Many bills carrying appropriations for the erection of a build ing were passed both by the Senate and the House, but it seemed impossible to get a measure passed by both houses dur ing any one Congress. In the Fifty third Congress the lamented Gaston A. Robbins, then representative from the Fourth district in the House. secured favorable report on his bill but it missed passage only by a few hours, the Chicago postoffice bill being fiibustered over the time for the committee of the whole to rise. The Selma bill was the next on the calendar.
 Congressman Bowie secured an appro- priation for the Selma bill when he went to Congress. the amount being $75,O00. The plans were drawn and the bids advertised for, but in the meantime a plan was on foot to establish a United States court in selma, and the letting of the contract was held up. The next session of Congress appropriated $65,O0O more. and very handsome three-story building with base ment is what work will begin on to- morrow, the occasion being made momen- tous by exercises participated in by the people. The programme will be very interesting, and an effort is being made to have Congressman Bowie make the ad- dress on the occasion. His reply to the hurried invitation had not been received at this writing.

In reading your fditorial comment
of the awful disaster at Coilinwood,
Ohio, in Thursdays paper, note you
cali attention to "a1other horror that
