 but whether the appointee will serve out MT. Glovers unexpired term or merely serve until the next general election. Commissioner Wellborn said this after noon that he understands that the ap- pointment will be to fill the unexpired term.
 A decided impetus has been given to the cause of the Lanier and Morgan Literary societies at the Alabama Presbyterian college by an edict issued by Dr. Stagg from the chapel rostrum to the effect that every student in the college who Is not a member of one of the societies will Hereafter be compelled to deliver an oration in the chapel once month.

 The fight between the secured and unse- cured creditors of W. F. Van Arsdel for

 It Is not thought that the wounds of
 the 7-year-old daughter of MT and Mrs Walker Fezell, who fell victim to the
 open grate Saturday afternoon, will prove to be fatal, though the child was serious ly burned from head to foot by having her
 dress catch in the flames while she was warming in front of a fireplace. Mrs.
 Fezell and Levi Roberts. a neighbor, had
 their hands badly burned in the effort to save the childs life.

 Greensboro for next Thursday, at which
 time he proposes to meet the team from that college on the floor. By way of giv- ing the llibosh to the charge of "cold feet that eminated from the Birmingham team with whom they recently cancelled game, the Anniston five will make an effort to fill that date on their return trip. Mir. Allen stated today that in addition to the other excuses given one reason for cancelling the Birmingham date was the
 small guarantee made by the Magic City manager.
