SERIOUS ILLNESS
 AT GIRLS' SCHOOL Considerable Alarm Felt At Athens Female College MANY STUDENTS AT HOME Malady Which Is Pronounced Ptomaine Poisoning Is Said To Have Pug
 zled Specialists in Charge
 of the Cases.
MANY STUDENTS AT HOME

Information has reached Birmingham that serious illness has been prevalent for several days at the Athens Female college at Athens, Ala. A number of students of the school passed through Birmingham yesterday en route to their homes and many of them were quite Ill.
 While the situation at the school has been somewhat shrouded in mystery be- cause 1t was feared that permanent harm would be done to the institution by alarm ing reports, 1t is understood that about 100 of the young lady students have left for their homes and that but 30 or 40 remain at the institution and many of them are seriously ill
 The president of the school, Miss Mary N Moore, was thrown from her horse at Athens several days ago and sustained a broken rib She is at the home of her sister, Mrs. F. w. Brandon at Bessemer, and the situation at the school has been a terrible shock to her. The Rev. F. w. Brandon, presiding elder of the Bessemer district is in Athens in charge of the college.
 From the best information obtainable the malady with which the young ladies are afflicted has puzzled the physicians in charge It is stated that the symptoms are a serious cramping of the lower limbs followed by excessive vomiting. The eff fects, however, pass off in a couple of days and that 1t Is not really serious Is shown by the fact that there have been no fatalities. A Nashville specialist is said to have pronounced the malady, which was at first thought to be fever, as ptomaine poisoning. but advices from Athens state that 1t Is considered an epidemic of grip.
 The college has been declared suspended for ten days.
 The Athens Female college is conducted by the Alabama conferences of the Meth odist Episcopal church, south.

Few divisions of the county courts were in session after the noon hour yesterday and the volume of business disposed of was small.

Benners left yester- day morning for Tuscaloosa, where he fs holding court today. He will return to resume his duties here tomorrow The only order entered on the chancery dock ct yesterday was a postponement of the registers sale in the case of Mary J. Prescott vs. Louella Prescott There were no bidders when the property was of fered for sale yesterday and the matter was postponed for two weeks

A DOCTORS SLEEP Found He Had to Leave Of Coffee.

Many persons do not realize that a bad stomach will cause insomnia. Coffee drinking, being such an ancient and respectable form of dissipation. few realize that the g-caffeine-contained in the coffee and tea. is one of the prin- cipal causes of dyspepsia and nervous troubles
 Without their usual portion of coffee irritable and fretful. That's the way with a whiskey drinker. He has got to have his dram ito settle his nerves''-habit-
 To leave off coffee Is an easy matter if you want to try 1t because Postum-well boiled according to directions-gives a gentle but natural support to the nerves and does not contain any drug-nothing but food.
 Physicians know this to be true. as one from Ga. writes:
 q have cured myself of a long-standing case of Nervous Dyspepsia by leaving off coffee and using Postum." says the doc tor.
 T also enjoy refreshing sleep, to which I had been an utter stranger for 20 years.

LEE LONG CALLS
 STATE COM MITTEE
CHAIRMAN EXPRESSES GREAT
 EST CONFIDENCE AND SAYS
 AMENDERS CANNOT NAME A COUNTY THEY WILL CARRY.

J. Lee Long, chairman of the state ment, issued a call yesterday for meet ing of the campaign committee to be held in Birmingham at noon Friday of this week.
 "we have followed the programme out lined by the committee at its meetings two weeks ago. and things look exceeding ly fine" said MT. Long.
 q do not concede single county to the amenders.
 'T hereby state that the people of Ala bama will defeat this scheme more em- phatica1ly than they have ever before de- feated any measure or any candidate.
 "They cannot name a county which they will carry. There are some in which the vote will be close. But In none of them is 1t certain that they will win.
 "The amenders see defeat staring them in the face. In their extremity they are resorting to every tactic known to the politician. They have grown personal and have roundly abused us individually and collectively. But when a man be- comes intolerant, 1t is a sure sign that
  means that the day of oppression has gone forever in Alabama. There will never again be a period of reconstruction in this state"
 According to MT. Long. the committee will further look over the situation and outline other plans.
 The following is the committee:
 Chairman, J. Lee Long of Butler.
 First district, D. R. Burgess of Mobile Second district, Charles L. Henderson of Troy.
 Third district G. P. Bowling of Ozark. Fourth district. John T. Farley of An niston.
 Fifth district, c. F. Striplin of Ashland Sixth district, A. s. Vandergraff of Tus- caloosa.
