 IS PRESENTED
By CHARLES B. CARTER.

Marion, May 4.-(Special.) Jon Satur- day evening members of the Violian Athletic association of Judson college presented the four-act comedy drama, 'Esmeralda" to a large audience
 Considering the fact this play has been given at Judson on other occasions there were present many who were eager to witness the interpretation given by the athletic pupils.
 The play was under the direction of Miss Viola Albaugh, the talented young teacher of the physical training classes.
 The masculine parts were personated by Misses Neal, McGlathery, Woolley, Sanders, James and Terry, while tn e other parts were given by Misses Ray, Hudmon, Albaugh, Meadows and Scarborough.
 Miss Neal as Rogers" the North Carolina farmer, gave a most intelligent interpretation of the native from the rural districts of the "Old North State.'
 Miss McGlathery. the lover of Els maralda," was played with much feel ing and received several well merited encores.
 mond," the American artist, was very clever, and sustained the caste at criti- cal moments with much ease.
 The climax was in the closing scenes of the third act, with "Esmeralda" in the arms of Rogers" pleading to be carried back to the North Carolina home and her lover, the violin being played softly, the curtain down, the lights turned on-and persons were seen weeping throughout the audience.
 Miss Ora Barnes, the gifted young pianiste, rendered several excellent se- lections between the acts.

INFANT LEFT AT DOOR

Anniston, May 4.@(Special,) ,)-The Union Foundry company on yesterday cele- brated it's second anniversary by sending the one thousandth car of it's product on its journey to the consumer.
 During the two years the company has sent out 10000 tons annually of the finest product as compared with 4000 tons under the old regime.
 The annual output is now 1900 tons, and the plant gives employment to S25 men, The monthly pay roll is between $14,Oo0 and $15OO0.
 During the past two years only six working days have been lost by the plant. Four of these days work was suspended In order to refine the furnaces, and the two others the plant was closed on ac- count of funerals.
 During the second period of depression the plant ran steadily on and was God send,, almost, to many people of the city. The plant has been enlarged and It's scope of usefulness greatly increased dur ing the two years.
 The success of the plant has been due to the able management of Mr. Gerard
 
 attention to the business. He is a man who does things, makes no great four ishes, but the results speak for his wis dom. More plants like the Union Foun- dry company, with men like Schumacher at the helm, are needed in Anniston
 Baby Is Outcast.
 Another baby, bright, chubby bounc- ing, blue-eyed boy, is an outcast, for saken by unnatural and inhuman parents, and begs admission to the home of some one who will care for it and bring 1t up. It was left on the front porch of the home of Bishop Beckwith, Sixth and Quintard, last night about S:30 O clock. It was wrapped in few cheap clothes and reclined in a small basket.
 Bishop and Mrs. Beckwith are away from home, and the servant had retired for the night. A negro woman passing heard the infant cry, rang the bell and woke the servant. They then took charge of the youngster and notified the police Chief Jirels, Patrolman Hawkins and Councilman Edmondson went to the Beckwith home and arranged for the care of the infant until today. Dora Range kindly agreed to care for the baby during the night. The child was poorly clad and gave evidence of coming from pov- erty-stricken parents.

ETOWAH COUNTY
 MUST HAVE JAIL

Gadsden, May 4-(Special.)-The county commissioners have been in session for question of providing new county jail. The matter has been deferred until the eleventh hour and must now be taken care of without any further delay. The board seems unanimous in it's decision that a new, jail must be provided and is only considering the way of raising the necessary funds. As it is desirable to have a new prison at the earliest pos sible moment and also that the calling of an election to authorize a bond issue for the purpose would take time and cost considerable sum it Is not unlikely that warrants may be issued to cover the cost of a new structure.
