VOLUME OUT OF
GREAT Interest
Mississippi Historical Society Issues
Seventh Annual-RepIete With
state History.

Jackson, Miss, June 27.-Volume
TX of the publications of the Missis-
sippi Historical Society has been is
sued by Secretary Franklin L. Riley,
of the State University, and is now be-
ing distributed among members of the
society.
The volume contains eighteen new
contributions to Mississippi history,
written by some of the foremost men
of the state, and several of the num-
Der are of exceptional interest. The
most notable feature of the volume
/ is the large number of contributions
dealing with the local history of re-
construction, written in calm and dis
passionate vein by men personally
familiar with the incidents they dis
cuss For several years the Univer-
sity of Mississippi has been encourag-
ing a dispassionate study and re.
search on the subject of reconstruc-
ton, and the articles dealing with this
theme can in some instances be di-
rectly traced to the influence of this
institution. Dr. Riley expresses the
hope that these contributions will en-
courage students in colleges and uni
versities to attempt similar lines oe in
vestigation.
The volume also contains contribu-
tons on two historic state thorough
fares that have exerted much infiu-
ence upon the history of Mississippi,
the Natchez Trace and Gen. Jackson's
Military Road.
Biographical tributes are printed to
several member of the society who
have passed away in recent years,
among them being Associate Justice
S. S. Calhoun, Gen. Stephen D. Lee,
Hon. Murray F. Smith, Capt. Robert
E. Houston and Bishop Charles B.
Galloway, all whom took a prominent
part In founding the society. The
present officers OF the organization

 HAS SUCCESSFUL SEASON

Albertville, December 6.-(Special. .)-The overwhelming victory over the Birming- ham Medical college on Thanksgiving Day brought to close the most sue cessful football season in the history of the Seventh District Agricultural school. The Albertvile boys defeated every team they played and won the un- disputed championship of the state out side of the S. l. A. A. At the first of the season prospects looked little gloomy, as it was rumored that none of the old men would be back, but one by one several of them drifted back, and several promising new men, including Griffith, the Gadsden boy. who starred at fullback, he never seeing a football until he reached Albertvile, but through the skillful coaching on Lonnie Noojin he 5dcveloped into one of the best men that ever played on a prep" team in the south.
 The first victims were the lads from the ! Birmingham college, handing them a l 9 to o defeat. Paul Stevenson then
 brought his Etowah County High school lads to the mountain, and they went home with the sad remembrance of the looser in a 30 to game. Next in order were the University reserves, the locals disposing of them handily by a score of 27 to 6. Paul Stevenson then decided that he wanted another crack at Albert vile, the locals going to Gadsden and showing them under again 40 to 0. Albert vile defeated the Anniston Preds to O. Coach Noojin then took his Tigers to Jacksonville and defeated the Normal college at that place 5 to 0.
 Then Marion rose up, with undefeat- ed team, disputing Albertvilles claim for the championship, and challenging them for game, which was accepted without hesitation, the Sand Mountain Tigers defeating them on their home grounds II to after two days ride. sleeping one night on the bare floor at the Attalla depot, being unable to get hotel accommodations The Thanksgiving offering was the Doctors from the Blr- miugham Medical college, who were treated to a 59 to defeat, making AL

BUELL. PREPARES ELABORATE REPORT Cullman Club Accomplishes
 Much Past Year TO ELECT OFFICERS Attractive Booklet Setting Forth Gull mans Advantages Sent Widespread
 Over United States-Fight
 Against Phone Rate
TO ELECT OFFICERS

Cullman, December 6.-(Special.) .)-With night will close the first years work of the Cullman Commercial club. One year ago this organization of the busi- ness men was perfected for the promo tion of business interest of the town and county, and Secretary Buell. of that organization has prepared an elaborate report which will be submitted to the officers of the organization next Monday night.
 The following are some of the things mentioned in the report:
 During the past year, among other things, a publicity booklet has been got ten out descriptive of the city and county at a cost of $414 for 5000 copies, and these have been mailed into every section of the United States, resulting in bringing the city of Cullman and it's enormous possibilities to the attention of the out side world, which could not have been done in any other manner. Results have been accomplished through this.
 Another important matter that has been accomplished through the efforts Of the commercial organization is the hSht put iOiln Dy lllS cluD against lnC proposed raise of telephone rates. Ii this matter is not fully settled, it has at least been retarded for a time, and the work of the club will ultimately result in the organization of Home Telephone company in case this organi- zation is not successful in staying the rates proposed by the Southern Bell telephone people.
 Possibly, one of the most important matters that has been taken up during the year IS the equalization of the freight rates for our city. It is a well known fact that Cullman is greatly discrimi- mated against in the matter of freight rates, because of no competing railroad. This discrimination amounts to many thousands of dollars during the year and is borne by the consumers of the town and county. This matter has been taken up by this body, and although the com mittee which was sent to appear before the interstate commerce commission al Birmingham December l, was not able to present the case in proper form owing to the short time In which to prepare the same, yet, we have assurance that in the near future our efforts along this line will be crowned with success"
