AS Hammond is filled with inventors
and the manufacture fthe articles
of their invention would help the city
industrially the inventors council is
likely to be a great success.
John E. Fitzgerald made a valuable
suggestion when he stated that manu-
facturers who are looking for loca-
ton should be taken around to the
various manufacturers of the region
who could tell them just why they
came to Hammond and why after locat-
ing here they found 1t so much better
a location than any other.
Fitzgerald Has the Dope.
Mr. Fitzgerald said he could tell them
that he was saving $40 a day drayage
on coal and sS5 a day carriage on grain.
He said he could show them how he is
saving s12 a day on water and can not
only make deliveries in Chicago just
as quickly as his Chicago competitors
but his deliveries to the east could be
made IL to "a hours sooner than the
Chicago manufacturers could make
them.
E. C. Minas said that he was great
believer in advertising. He stated that
he thought the city should put up sign
boards near the depots showing just
wi at are the advantages of the city
industrially. In Mr.. Minas' opinion
$4,000 ought to be raised for this pur-
pose and he offered to give $50.
I. E. Dickinson gave a talk on the
industrial situation from the stand
point of the railroads and was followed
by Mr.. Ortt of the Ortt and Towlt
Shoe company who stated that he
knew of a shoe concern which coult
be induced to locate providing proper
site could be secured

ROGERSVILLE HAS
 GOOD HIGH SCHOOL

Florence, July 14.-(Special. )-At Rogers vile, the metropolis of East Lauder dale, ground was broken this week for high school building, which when com pleted will cost, including the five-acre lot, s5OOO The good people of the com- munity have already raised a subscrip tion of $500 and by September 1 a modern building, 60x6O, two sories, with chapel on the second floor, will be dedicated to the education of the youth of that To- cality.
 The old school building will be divided into small rooms and remodeled for a boys dormitory and the girl students as heretofore will board in private families.
 The curriculum of the school is the same as that of the state high schools and graduates are prepara1 for first grade state teachers certificates. Prof. W. S.. Dill, one of the best educators in the county, has been reelected principal and his three assistants will be elected later.
 The school Is admirably located for building up an important institution of learning. For a distance of from 12 to 30 miles on the four sides of 1t there is not another high school and the town itself Is an ideal location Tor the school Though second in importance in the coun- ty to Florence, it has never been incor porated and the residents feel no need for a city government. The citizenry is of a high type, well-to-do and peaceable, a "spotless town" where the policeman and his billy are unknown.
 Rogersvlle is off the railroad, but an excellent road connects 1t with Athens, Limestone county, across the Elk river, where large part of Its trading Is done In the immediate town there are about 300 habitants, four churches, bank, IA business houses and many attractive res- idences. The farms of this district are among the best in Lauderdale county, and perhaps these people are justified for the pride sand satisfaction they feel in their town and their perfect contentment
 The little town is not only alive to edu- cational advancement, but improvement Is seen in many lines, including farming methods In the surrounding country.

SENTENCE COMMITTED.
Jim Parrish Goes to Penitentiary for
 Life.

Decatur, July 14.-(Spe )-Jim Parrish, the negro who was to have hanged last Friday for the murder of Lem Lane, another negro. but who was given respite by Governor Conner un- til next Friday, has been given life in the state penitentiary instead. Par rish's lawyers, C. l.. Price and Maj w. H. Long, received word from Governor Conner this morning saying he had com muted Parrishs sentence to imprison- ment for life.
 Three members of tlje jury which tried and convicted Parrish were, from the start, in favor of giving him life sentence, but 1t seems that after they entered the jury room for deliberation some member of the jury stated before them that at one time Parrish had been suspected of being complicated in the murder of Miss Belle Bloodworth in New Decatur few years ago, and that on the strength of this statement the entire jury consented to a verdict of death by hanging. Judge D. W. Speake. before who Parrish was tried and convicted, recommended to Governor Conner that Parrish's sentence be com- muted.
