Battle Royal in SchooIrOom.

The unusual scene of three sisters.
all pretty and attractive, oattacking
their teacher. bride OF only a few
weeks, was witnessed in the school,
room at Midway, in Hancock county,
recently. The schOUl girls were the
daughters of Trustee A. j. Aldridge.
and the schoolmarm was Mrs. James
Hall.
When the girls entered the school,
room thev declined to give the usual
salutation to their teacher and she de-
manded that they be more polite. The
eldest girl replied in way that caus-
ed Mrs. Hall to SLAP her in the face.
Then the fight was on.
The girls come from fighting Ken
tucky stock and the teacher was soon
on the floor. One sister had secured a
half Nelson hold" and with the free
arm was pummeling the screaming
teacher in all parts of the body. An
other was sitting on the Frustrated
form, and third was administering
the most eXtraordinaryhair dressing
the schOOlmarm ever received.
Finally the teacher freed herself and
school was quickly dismissed, as the
teacher started on the search of an
official to swear out a warrant.
The origin of the trouble dates back
few days, when the father of the
belligerent school giils. who is trustee.
filed charges with the shOcol board
against Mrs. Hall. alleging that she
was kissed in the schoOlroom by her
young husband.
The friends of the young woman re.
sented the charge and said it is no
harm for man to kiss his wife, even
if she happens to be a pretty young
schoolteacher. The charges were dis
m Used.

NEWSPAPERS SCORED
 FOR CRIMINAL NEWS

New Orleans, April 24.-Newspapers were scored for devoting too much space to crime and the details of "stories" of vice by Charles l. Denechaud, president of the Federation of Catholic societies of Louisiana in his annual address to the del egates attending the convention of the federation here today.
 "A growing custom among some jour nals of the day. he said, lis the unfor- tupnate disregard for the effect upon the people of the country of the calibre of news they disseminate.
 Tt is not within the province of your board nor does it attempt to arrogate to itself either the regulation or censorship of the press, but 1t has steadily held to the conviction that it is nnanifestly improper for newspapers after gaining access to the home to confront the reader with the min ute details of the repulsive testimony ad- duced at criminal trials. Nor do we ap- prove, and have so registered our criti- c'sm in this connection as we'll of the piinting of pictures of fallen girls, aban- dcned women and depraved men,

by the o'Neal following in the city and it looks as though an election to decide the question would in all probability be called The sentiment was practically unanimous in favor of a commission when the matter was voted Oh a year ago, but the fact that the governor is to be all lowed to appoint the commission for the first year has put damper on the en- thusiasm of many and there is little chance that an election held right now would carry.

 Hospital

Gadsden, April 24.-(Special) )-Repre- sentatives of the state department have been spending several days in the city and surrounding country looking over the possible sites for the location of the state tuberculosis hospital.

ASHVILLE HEARS
 TAG LINE RUMORS
Citizens Fear That Louisville and Nashville Will Get Control
 of Proposed Road

Ashville, April 24.-Special )-Rumors of all kinds are afloat in Gadsden con- cerning the Tag line Some are that the Tag line will be absorbed by the Louisville and Nashville, and others to the effect that the Illinois Central may get control of it. The citizens of Ash vile and this valley are in hopes that the Illinois Central will get control of the Tag line, for then it will mean much for Ashville. The Central of Georgia has a spur track from it's main line up to Margaret, where, if the H. linois Central gets control, it will in tersect the Central of Georgia.
 If the Louisville and Nashville gets control of the Tag line 1t would not benefit the people here any for the Tag line trains would run over the Louis vile and Nashville tracks into Birming- ham. Should the Illinois Central get control of the Tag line they could build a direct line of railroad almost parallel with the Alabama Great Southern via Ashville and through Margaret over tho Central of Georgia tracks into Bir- mingham a few miles shorter than the Alabama Great Southern.
 In St. Clair county no vote will be taken on the whisky question for somc time The liquor people have not started out any petitions. Should the petitions be carried around it would be very hard to get 45 per cent of the voters of the county to sign. If an election is called this county will vote dry by big majority. This county will remain in the dry column for some time yet. Sentiment is very strong against open saloons and also the dis pensaries are very much opposed
 J. T. Newborn of Pell City has closed out contract with the Ragland peo- pie whereby they will build bottling works plant at Ragland. The site was purchased on Railroad avenue from pr. Jones. Work will be started at once and the building will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible.
 The past week has been full of val uable real estate deals. Mccain Bros. have bought the lot and building which they now occupy. The deal was closed out between Hodges & Sons and Me Cain Bros. for a fancy price. The lot Is 2oN10O feet and has a two-story structure and a warehouse on it. It is one of the most desirable building lots In the city. The building has been cc- cupicd by the firm for several years.
 Mrs. Laura Montgomery has sold nine acres of valuable farming land three quarters of mile north of Ashville 10 Hodges x Sons for $75 an acre.
 E. T. Schuler has bought several thousand ceres of valuable minera, lands near here It Is thought thnt Mir Schulcr is connected with the Tag line. so the people count this a very good sign that the Tag line expects to build It's line of road.
