KILLING GREAT BIG
FISH WITH CLUBS

Scottsboro, June 10.-(Special Ike
ports from Section are to the effect
that thousands of fish have been caught
in the back water" of the Tennes-
see river. 1t appears that the Tennes-
see river rose rapidly after the rains
few days ago. The fish went up
in the shallow places and when the
water went down they were caught
In some places the fish were so thick
that they could be killed with clubs.
Drum and buffalo fish were in the great
majority and some were so large that
when they would run in the shallow
water near the shore their upper fms
would be above the surface of the
water. While fish have been caught
in this manner heretofore they were
more numerous on the occasion just
past than ever before recorded.

Auburn, June 1O.-(Special.) -Among the
recommendations of President C. C. Thach
for the extension of the Alabama Poly
technic institute is an item for the bet
ter equipment of a textile college. The
recommendation was approved by the
board of trustees.
A textile department was established in
the school some time ago, but the neces-
sary equipment has never been secured
on account of a lack of funds. The man
agement Of the school has long appre-
ciated the value of this branch of tech
meal training, and it is hoped that the
school may soon be prepared to add this
to the advanced branches of technical
study.
One of the most ardent advocates of
this department is H. l. Martin of Ozark,
one of the most active trustees of the
school.
IA practical textile education Is one of
the most valuable that can be secured by
the young men of the SOUTH" said Mr.
Martin.
I'VE should have young men In the
south who are experts In the business of
manufacturing cotton into the finished
product We are suffering greatly for a
lack of skilled labor in the textile indus
tries. The south has a monopoly of tho
world in the production of raw cotton, but
we lose the greater part of that advan-
tage by allowing other sections Of the
country and the world to reap the profits
of the rniddleman and the manufacturer.
I'VE people Of the south, the cotton
growing belt, will never receive our just
share OF this great world monopoly until
we are able to manufacture the finished
product in the cotton fields of the south.
To do this we must have the skilled labor
to begin with.
1.-The annual cotton crop in its raw state
Is worth almost 81. 000, 900, 900 to the south
In times of panic or money stress the
cotton crop of the south is called upon to
relieve the situation and bring gold from
Europe. The entire country is dependent
to a large degree on this native crop OF
the south. Think what power the south
would have If it would but control the
manufacture and handling of that crop.
1.-The textile industry offers greater OPP

Montgomery, June 10.-(Special. )-Un-
der the laws of the state those towns
promising aid and buildings an in
ducement for the location of county high
schools must pay what they have agreed
to pay. In an opinion for the state su.
perintendent. of education, Attorney Gen.
eral CARRIER has ruled: by section of
this act Especial acts 1909, page 300 all
such conveyances and appropriations
which were made before its passage were
ratified and confirmed. If the town of
Reform has made an appropriation for
this purpose 1 am of the opin' n that
proceeding to enforce the payment there
of should be instituted in the name OF
Alabama" Also: THAT a suit may be
Instituted by the state of Alabama against
the citizens of Reform. to require them
to comply with their contract Win the
high school commission
It would appear from the word of w.
H Storey county superintendent of
Pickens county that Reform had failed
to meet its word in the promises made
In securing the county high school. AS
a result State Superintendent IL. Z.
Gunnels asked the attorney general these
questions: HAS the county board of edu-
cation the authority to compel by law
the payment of the supplement prom.
ised by the town of Reform for the sup
port of the high school?' Also: rs the
county board of education authorized by
law to compel the people of Reform to
comply with their contract with the high
school commission to erect building
to cost not less than $4,000, with water
works and sewerage SYSTEM"
Inasmuch as under the law cities and
towns are authorized by law to convey
real or personal property. to make APP
preparations of city and town funds and
to issue bonds to aid In the location and
construction of the school buildings, the
outlook is that the town Of Reform Will
have to put up or be made to do So
The idea now seems to be to have the
state proceed at once to bring about the
compliance with the contract on the part
of the people who made the promises.

To students and all persons interested
in scientific research, particularly in the
field of anthropology, the publication OF
its 1910 handbook by the Alabama An
thropoligical society will be welcome
announcement The handbook, in well
printed pamphlet of 81 pages, is now
being distributed. The society is being
congratulated upon its enterprise.
The volume contains details concern
ing the organization, work and aspira-
tons of the society; lists OF honorary,
associate and active members with bio
graphical sketches of the latter; detailed
descriptions of all collections in and out
of Alabama. containing Alabama speci-
mems; and a practically complete ans
full catalog of all mounds and prehistoric
works in Alabama, arranged by counties
Thirty collections of more or less i'm
portance are noted, q of which are In
Alabama. Six of the active members OF
the society have collections, namely:
Euckner Beasley, j. Y. Brame, Jr, P.
A Brannon, s. M. Hnglehardt, DR.. Thorn
as M. owen and John E. Scott Collec-
lions in the hands of Carr Mccormack,
Allen M McNeel, the Rev. Francis Tap
pey and DR.. H. NJ. Whelpley. associate
members, are noted. The largest collec-
ton entered is that of the University
of Alabama, lists of which were pre-
pared by Mr.. Herbert H Smith, the
curator of the museum.
Tt is of interest to find that the effort
to make up lists of local antiquities
has been so successful. Practically every
county in the state is represented In the
catalog and photography of mounds anil
prehistoric works. The compiler states
that the list is printed as basis for
further engagements, additions and cor
rections, and also in aid of current ex-
p]oration work, Future editions of the
handbook will contain new items as thev
are brought to- the attention of the So
ciety.
It will be recalled that the Alabama
Archaeological society was organized in
Montgomery on May 10. 1909, It's objects
being the promotion Of anthropological
study and research. DR.. Thomas M.
Owen. president Of the society, who Is
also the compiler of the handbook be-
lieves that this branch of science should
go hand in hand In its development with
general historical work in the state.
Copies of the handbook may be had on
personal application to P. A. Brannon,
secretary, who will be found at Spann' 8
Drug Store, Montgomery, and who will
be glad to respond to any and all re-
quests for information concerning activ-
tiles of the society. Requests by mail
should be accompanied by cents In
