STUDENTS APPRECIATE
 UNION HIGH SCHOOL
INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE
 FROM ONE OF THE PUPILS.
The Geeting Acquainted With the New Apparatus Was Amusinq.

That the students of the Mesa schools. or at least those who have passed the grades and are so fortunate as to be housed in one of the finest educational buildings in the territory. are appreciative, is putting it mildly. While they have never given any pub lie announcement of the fact that they are delighted with the new surround ings, yet it is evident that they, each and every one, appreciate the efforts put forth not only in their behalf but in the interest of education generally.
 The following correspondence is by one of the high school students:
 The men who planned the new high school building could hardly have thought of a more convenient device than the bell system tO mark the end of one class and the beginning of an other. The rooms are equipped with electric bells controlled by the large electric clock in the principals office The auditorium also contains a clock operated by the large one. At the end of each forty minute period every bell rings and an intermission of two and one-half minutes is given for the pass ing of classes. Under this plan every one has the same time and each class immediately suspends work to prepare for the next recitation. One class can not steal time from another, for auto matic mechanisms seldom lie. Con siderable amusement was caused once by the bells failing to stop. They rang for several minutes until the principal investigated. Two large gongs oper- ated by the same plan have been placed on the outside of each end of the building to summon the stTagglers in the morning and afternoon.
 ITO gain better order in leaving the auditorium for class rooms. the prin- cipal has arranged with several of the young ladies to have march music at the end of each period. This has been tried by a number of schools and has added much to the orler and regularity in the management Of the school
 Next to the bell devices the system which promises to give the most com fort. especially on chilly mornings. is the ventilating and heating apparatus The furnace is in the basement and the warm air rises through the pipes which lead to the several rooms A 'ilillN io'ii HidA be btdteu III d lew minutes and the air checked or allow ed to run as desired by the instructor. On the first morning the oily coating on the heaters came off and filled the rooms with suffocating fumes, but the system works nicely now.
 "On first moving into our building a number of students. and even some of the trustees. were a little surprised to find no drinking cups. and so had to be led to water and shown how to satisfy their thirst from the new foun-

women did not wait for the appearance of the clerks, but gathered up the wares they wanted and took them to the nearest wrapping counter and had them tied up.
 In the opinion of James LeSueur the sale is probably the largest ever pulled off in the store. Incidentally it might be remarked that the advertising has been conducted principally through The Republican, though there has been q few bills distributed and banners hung from the store window.

 That the time for active work on the part of the congress Is now ripe. the letters of inquiry show. 1t Is the de- sire of the executive department to. as soon as possible. get to their per manent headquarters. SO the persons desiring to come to the Southern States. may as soon as possible deal directly with the permanent headquar- ters. The executive committee is in communication with the directors in- ssting, on the necessity of getting placed at once. so the work can be handled by the information depart ments, and the agencies, to be placed in the South can be selected and the great work get under way.
 It is probable that a meeting of the department heads will be held here very shortly to attend to the consuma- tion of the permanent plans. From every branch of the congress. the word is going out that the time is ripe for action.

MOBILE OFFICER HERE
 FOR, A PRISONER

Will Carlisle. the negro arrested here Saturday night by Police Captain Smith. who sent Carlisle to jail as a suspicious character, because he had seen the negro attempting to sell gold bracelet on tl& street, was taken to Mobile Wednesday in the care of Deputy Murphy of the Mobile Sheriffs force.
 Shortly after his arrest here a tele- gram was received from Mobile ask ing the Montgomery police to look out for the negro and a description was given which identified him as the per- son wanted. The charge against him in Mobile was grand larceny and house breaking. Carter voluntarily told the officers here where he had some of his "swag" put away. Just to be on the safe side, Captain Smith questioned him more closely and got from him the information that there was a lot of goods here he had brought with him. He is said to have taken some thing like $500 worth of jewelry from a prominent Mobile society woman.
 Deputy Murphy. from a description list he brought identified enough Of the plunder to bring half a dozen charges of grand larceny against the prisoner. With the handcuffed prison CT in one hand and a grip of the stolen stun in the other. the Mobile officer left with his charge on the noon train.
 The local authorities do not be- lieve that Carlisle is responsible for any of the thefts that have been com mitted lately, as his arrest followed his departure from the coast too soon to have given hiin a chance to operate

immigrants Would Come
 This Way. MANY LETTERS RECEIVED
 FROM EUROPEAN COUNTRIES Inquiries Made as to Climatic Con
 ditionS. szanaging Director Dave is Being 2 swamped With work In His Endeavor to Give Desired s Information.

f immigration, one of the most vital questions of the Southern Commercial Congress. Is already beginning to solve itself. Without being sent for, the prospective citizens are already asking about the advisability of coming.
 ( For years and years, those interested say. immigration of intelligent labor CTS, artisans and independent home seekers to the South. has been consid- cred the magic touch that would awak- sen the South 10 realization of what it really Is and can do. For as long as 1t has existed as an English -speak- ing section of the world, it was thought That all under work was the property of the negro here, and 1t has been the known policy of the immigration in- terests of the larger Eastern cities, to keep the immigrants from the South. not only to try to work out their ex- ploded idea of the negro being de- sfrable citizen, but in order to hold the better working class In the North.
 Information regarding the South was then not given to those asking about 1t as future home. except in dis torted form, and the natural wave of immigration to this fertile section was seemingly checked forever.
 The advent of the Southern Commer- ciaf Congress has knocked this plan of the immigrant noloers out or commls- sion. The lectures at the Congress by the country's most expert scientists on the subject. which lectures went broad cast all over the world, has awakened a storm of inquiry for the real prom ised land' to congested Europe. The letters and their answers mean the real beginning of a new era.
 Due to Publicity.
 As direct result of the publicity given the varied resources of the South, Managing Director c. Grosve- nor Dave. of the Southern Commercial Congress, who is Secretary of the Montgomery Commercial Club, Is in re- ceipt of many letters. not only from every quarter of the United States, re- garding the various resources, but from countries of the old world.
 From the first note of publicity de- veloped in the formation of the South ern Commercial Congress, letters be- gan to arrive asking for information regarding, not only the resources of Alabama, but other States as we'll, In cases where other States were querled about MT. Dave has, in the main, re- ,&erred the letters to department off, eials, of the territory in question, ex- ,cept in instances where he was very Familiar. with the specified resource
