lowing the awarding of the contract to
J. H. Duke & Son of this city for the
erection of a ten-room, two-story $4,000
schoolhouse on Quintard avenue and Sew
enteenth street, 1t has been decided not
to rebuilt on Leighton avenue. The new
school building will take the place OF
the Leighton avenue building which was
DESTROYED by fire last winter. 1t will be
more accessible and more modern in its
advantages than the old building and
the old site will not be utilized by the
school board at an early date.
Since the destruction of the leighton
building, a double shift has been worked
on the Wilmer avenue building, some OF
the grades attending in the morning and
some in the afternoon. 1t was at one
time intended to erect the new puiiolng
there. but the Fairgrounds movement has
gained considerable strength among An
historians and 1t was demanded that the
board make allowance for the children
to enjoy the advantages of fresh air
which would have been largely precluded
under the original plan. Work Will be-
gin on the new structure at once, and
1t will be completed before the school
term begins, thus preventing the neces-
sity for continuing the double shift at the
Wilmer avenue building

in Cuba, Manila and nearly all over the

the string of plants of the Central
Foundry company over the United
States, with headquarters in New Y rk,
has been in the city for week The
Admission plant Is making money I'M
der the receivership and plans are on
foot for an enlargement at an early
date, according to Mr.. Cooper.
Who Cut Al Hortons
Who cut Albert Horton Is about as
much of a question in Admission Just
now as who cut Billie Patterson"
Horton received a serious stab in the
side Saturday afternoon during an at
fray with Seab Eason, a former patrol
man and deputy sheriff He said that
Eason did the cutting, but this Is de-
MED by Eason. The wound is not re-
garded as being especially dangerous,
however, and 1t is likely that the ques-
ton will be answered to the satisfac-
tion of the court this week. The con-
dition of Jim Richardson, who was
also given a severe beating with the
butt end of a buggy whip by Eason
is said to be improved and he will like
wise testify against the former An
niston officer

tinued to allow him to study the laws
