SPRUELL SCHOOL IS
CLOSED TO STAY.

The spruell Military School has
closed it's doors and Prof. Spruell says
they will not be re-opened.
Prof. Spruell says that he decided
early in December to close his school
but that he waited until time for the
Christmas holidays before making his
plans public on account of the posi-
BILE effect such action might have upon
the students. He says that his ideas
of running a school do not seem to be
suited to conditions here and after try
ing for more than two years he would
rather quit than to continue and go
into debt.
Professor Spruell has made no plans
for the future and will not go to Birm-
ingham, as was reported.

ARE YOU A CORN GIRL?
IF NOT, GET IN STYLE.

"Corn girls" as well as "corn boys"
are coming INTO notice as one result of
the formation Of corn clubs in various
parts OF the south. The Brooklyn
Eagle OF SUNDAY riRts an excellent
picture of Miss Hanna PlGwden, OF
Manning, Clarendon county, s. c.,
whom it describes as the champion
girl corn grower OF the world" Little
Miss Plowden, who is fifteen years OF
age, deserves great deal OF credit for
having raised 100 bushels OF corr on
one acre, doing the work herself But
it occurs that Georgia has "corn
girl' who has beaten that by good
margin She is Miss Clara Haynie,
OF Coweta county, and her record is 1873
bushels and z pounds on an acre. She
raised that corn at cost of 1G13 cents
bushel. With both girls and boys
taking deep interest in the corn clubs
and the.production of the greatest pos
sible number OF bushels to the acre,
the clubs must flourish and agricultur-
al affairs must profit.

TWO HUNDRED BALES
BURNED AT ACWORTH
Fire Destroys Warehouse of Mr.
Jesse Lemon Early Sun
day Morning.

Nearly fifteen thousand dollars worth
of property was destroyed by fire
when the warehouse OF Mr.. Jesse
Lemon, OF Acworth, burned on Sun
day morning
There were two hundred bales of cot
ton stored in the building, and this
was all ruined. The Mason's lodge
hall was located in the second story
and contained more than two thousand
dollars worth of furnishings, which
were destroyed. The warehouse was
valued at four thousand dollars.
Most OF the cotton destroyed was in
sured, and the MasOns carried insur-
ance OF twelve hundred dollars on their
furnishings.

HELP IS ASKED FOR
WHITE WAY LIGHTS
PUBLIC AID NECESSARY FOR
SUCCESS OF MOVEMENT
Money Must be Raised by Friday
or Beautiful Lights will
not be Installed.

Every citizen who wants to see the
white way lights placed around the
square is urged to send in some
money to the committee that is trying
to raise funds for that purpose. The
committee has been given until Friday
to decide definitely whether they can
raise the necessary funds, and it is i'm
portant that every one who is interest
ed should get their donations in as
soon as possible.
Every body seems to be highly
pleased with the project and it is just
up to the people to say whether they
will have the lights. The expense
would be pretty heavy for the property
owners around the square to have to
bear alone, and as the lights would be
beneficial to the entire city it is hoped
that the people in general will respond
to the appeal of those who are trying
to carry the movement to success.
The cost of lights will be in the
neighborhood of three thousand dol
lars, and we know of no way in which
this amount could be spent that would
add so much to the attractiveness OF
the city.
Send your money to Mayor Clay,
Colonel Sessions or the Board Of Lights
and Water Works

Plan Army Concentration.

Washington.-The concentration of the army at large stations strategetic- ally situated for military purposes and the abandonment of the small posts is under consideration by the war department The idea, which requires the sanction of congress, is to con- struct in the vicinity of cities or large towns compact barracks, each to hold an entire regiment. Most of the com missioned officers, according to the plans, will find accommodations with in the city, obviating the necessity of building extensive officers quarters on the reservation. It is proposed to locate the greater part of the infantry in the Northern states, and the cal vary and artillery in the South, where forage is cheaper and where horses may be kept out practically the entire year.

Railroad Protests Payment.

State Treasurer Crockett received S4,749 from the Kansas City Southern Railway Company in payment of the franchise tax assessed against that road this year. Accompanying this remittance was a statement by Tax Commissioner Ward of the Kansas City Southern that the payment is made under protest and that the com, pany reserves the right to recover from the state in any subsequent ac- tion, should it be ultimately determin. ed that the franchise law is unconsti
 tutional. The road claims that the tax is unjust and negotiable and that payment is made under duress. The reason for paying the tax at all, it states, is in order to avoid the fines and penalties that might attach in the meantime under the operation of the law. The Cotton Belt is now the only large railroad system that has not paid the franchise tax. Up to date the collections under the new fran chise tax law amount to $97,000, with many corporations yet to hear from. It is possible that the total revenue from this source may reach $120,000.
