APPOINT TRUSTEES . FOR TRADE SCHOOL Wat Brown Heads Board for New State Institu-
 ton At Ragland

Ashville, July 12-(special.)-w. T. Brown of Ragland, Jones G. Moore of Birmingham, R. B. Kyle of Gadsden,. w. W. Screws of Montgomery and McLane Triton of Pel City have been appointed as trustees of the School of Trades and Industry, which Is to be located at Rag land. St. Clair county. The bill Senator Brown succeeded in getting through the last legislature carries an appropriation to maintain the school. This newly ere "a School of Trades and Industry Is rev in southern educational lines, but is meeting with approval all over the state. The bill passed both houses of the legsa- ture by large majorities. The south for the past years has had to depend on the north for their skilled labor, but the School of Trades and Industry will stop a great deal of this.
 Senator Brown has donated 100 acres of land to the school near Ragland. Sev- eral companies have agreed to install ma chinery in the school that would help to develop skilled labor that could be used in their various plants. The trustees of the school want all the gifts that different companies will give to the school.
 The bill Senator Brown passed in the last legislature is to provide more skilled labor in the state and enable the students of the school to acquire an education and training by means of employing all or portion of their time and labor while in the school to pay all or part of their lodging and tuition.
 The trustees are to meet in Ragland on July 12. A full board is ex- pected to be present.

growers. is less than one-half of per cent of the 90000,000 and odd Amerleans. Here Is Brantley with his fine mind-ln- oculatei with the virus of protection, un- fortunately-who calls every man with a sheen on his farm a "wool grower There is not a farmer in the United States who would not be advantaged by at least one sheep to every five acres, though the sheep yielded no more fleece than a pig. Go into Barren county, Ken lucky. There is William Martin Wilson, who grows 40 acres of tobacco and has 1d0 sheep on his place to war on weeds and add fertility to the soil. Brantley calls him word grower. He might as we'll call him a banker for lending his neighbor, Cy Hutchinson, $20 to finish paying for a threshing machine, or doc tor for giving vermifuge to his child for worms. Not one farmer In 5000 or even 10 GOO, who has sheep on his farm is a wool grower" That is a mere incident his ownership of a dozen or 12 dozen sheep. Brantley would save for him at the spigot and waste for him at the bung. farmer with a flock of 40 sheep on his rlace will lose because of the tariff on wool, more in the purchase of pair of blankets than he will make by the tariff on wool I wish I could give 2000 words in this letter to the elaboration of that truth.
 Jay down this proposition. and I chal- lenge Mr. Brantley or MT. Joe Bailey himself to dispute it: A tariff duty on foreign wool opeartes precisely as would an export tax on the domestic woolen fa- bric. It is an embargo laid on American trade. As long as there is tariff duty on raw wool the American wool manu- facturer is going to spin and weave for our own people only. Give him free wool, free plant, free machinery, and he will spin and weave for tens of millions under other flags in other climes. But tax his raw wool, and England, France, Germany and other countries, civilized enough, human enough, to provide free wool, will do the spinning and weaving we ought to do and will do when we get demo- cratic tariff chock full of free raw ma terals like the Mills tariff of 1888.
 And besides I can nearly prove by Daniel Webster and absolutely prove by Frank Hurd, that the tariff duty on wool in reality is a disadvantage to the sure enough fiockmaster himself, who has 100000 sheep. And I'll do it some of these days.

The better way is to apply pure mercolized waX-the same as you would cold cream-put- ting it on at night. removing it in the morning with warm water and soap, following with. a dash ot cold water.

BIG FISH EATS
 INDIAN DUCKS

Cuba. July 12.-(Special)-One of the most remarkable fish stories ever known in this section has just come to light. Dr. Beavers has a fine fish pond well stocked with trout, and in the pond has a little island where his Indian Runner ducks are matched out. For the past few days he has noticed that the little ducks have been disappearing, and has been at a loss to understand it. On yesterday he noticed a big fish jump up in the water and take little duck down with him, and it is his opinion that this big trout IS feasting on his young ducks. While the doctor likes fish, he also likes ducks, and he is setting about to capture the trout.
