MILL MEET THE"TEACHERS"

Admission, October 6.-(Special.)-D T
w. Stage, president of the Alabama Pres
byterian college, swooped down on a local
newspaper correspondent Wednesday
morning and gave him a severe 'jacking
up for terming his football players
preachers" in referring to the game be-
tween the college and the Jacksonville
Normal at this place next Saturday.
You may call that Jacksonville crowd
teachers or anything else you please.
but I insist on your calling my boys
'predestinarians,' and particularly so in
reference to that Jacksonville game, as I
have it pretty straight that we are pre-
destined to win.
While we want every boy in Alabama
who is preparing for the ministry to at
tend the Alabama Presbyterian college,
that institution is in no sense a theolog-
ical school, and if any of the opposing
elevens whom we are to play have the
idea that they are going up against a
crowd of preachers they are due to get a
severe disilusionment'
Dr. Stage says that the work at the COL
lege is progressing smoothly. and the i'm
proyements which he mapped out at the
first of the year are still under way. The
laundry room will be fitted up before long,
and he says that he is every day ex-
pecting the new seats for the, chapel,
which will make a notable change in the
building.
President Daugette of the Normal school
is an Auburn M. Sc graduate and he is
equally as enthusiastic over football as
is DR.. Stage. He says that he intends to
bring every student in his school to An
niston Saturday if possible, and for this
purpose he has made arrangements for
many of them to make the trip through
the country, returning after the game.
Mr.. Daugette says that there is a finer
spirit among the Normal students this
year than there has ever been The society
work is enthusiastic the Athletic club is
booming, and as the new students, who
are still coming in, arrive, they are read
lily imbued with the college spirit.
c. P. Poison, manager of the plant of
the Central Foundry company at Vim
cennes, Ind, has been here for several
days on visit to the local plant of that
concern, which has recently been reno
waited and enlarged, and is now holding

plants owned over the country.
A damage suit which began last Monday
was brought to a close in the city court

was formerly employed at the local car
plant and was caught in a shaft of the
machinery and badly injured last year.

machinery and was beat almost to death,
it was alleged, before he could be res
cued.
