ADJUSTMENTS
"Rin Van Winkle''

Thomas Jefferson, who has been ac- cepted as a worthy successor to his la- mented father Joseph Jefferson, as Rip Van Wrinkle, gave his familiar portrayal of that character at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night MT Jefferson presents Rip with all his was trel charms undiminshed, with his sly humor and his kindly heart. There is more comedy than pathos 1T the play, but when it was necessary to lay aside the traits of a jester and be- come serious MT. Jefferson was equal tc all requirements. He gives an excellent performance of one of the most whim- sical characters known to the stage and one that has become classic through the instrumentality of the Jefferson family.
 Although it is difficult sometimes for a son to follow in the footsteps of his father. even before Joseph Jefferson $ death Thomas Jefferson had demonstrated his ability to wear his fathers mantle with becoming honor. Rip Van Winkle'' will survive. on account of it's strongly human qualities and it's appeal will never fail, so long as tears are closely akin to laughter.

AUBURN ELEVEN

 Auburn football team, leaving home to-

Cog | dell the premier tackle of the south. | and one of Auburn's chiefest line hopes, l will remain at Auburn.
 But the greatest loss is that of Coach Donahue. The plucky little Mike will | hardly be out to urge the team again this season as he Is i'll. Reynolds Tiche-
 nor of Atlanta, the most enthusiastic alumnus of Auburn, and the most pa- l trotic college man of the world. has proffered his services as coach until the end of the season.
 The illness of Coach Donahue has brought to Auburn a wonderful profess
 sion of college spirit from many of the | old stars. More than 20 teegrams have come to Manager Tom Bragg from for mer Auburn players, each one attestins
 d readiness to help out. Many of the offers will be taken, when the team re- turns from Texas.

 Cogswell, a fast substitute, a South Carolina boy, will run the team from the quarterback position in Newells ab- sence, although probably Wingo, last years Birmingham High school man, may make the trip and get in the game. Wingo is small, but he is fast and heady. In the absence of Cogdell, Meadows, recruit of this years development prob
 ably will play tackle, unless Captain Bon

 the boy who ruined Teach with Il 105

From the above it may be seen that the counties of Clay, Elmore, Escambia, Franklin, Marshall and Randolph have drawn all funds which are available at this time The counties of Coosa, Gov ington, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Marion, Monroe, St. Clair and Winston have nearly drawn all their funds but have a little balance to their credit. Several counties have large amounts to their credit, as may be seen from the above table, and many of them have very large amounts, having never drawn but small amount out of the state treasury. The county of Mobile has never drawn sin gle cent for the purpose of erecting a rural schoolhouse.
 If a county fails to draw the funds any particular year, such funds remain to the credit of the county and will be available at any time in accordance with the law.
 On April 1, 1912, an additional 5000 will be placed to the credit of each county.
