the plan of employing superintendents to manage the plantations and keep them
 intact.
 This is a good plan and the only safe thing that can be done under the new conditions that confront the farmers of Alabama, especially after the arrival of 1 the boil weevil.
 Even though the boil weevil should | be conquered or exterminated by some l unseen power the intelligent, educated su- | perintendent would be a paying invest | ment. He can double, treble. even quad ruple the present production per acre in all crops. and at the same time increase the marketable value of the land, whereas the present system of tenantage secures a minimum of return and the lands are be- Ing literally worn out.
 Doctor of agriculture is a degree that any boy may feel proud of. It gives him opportunities for fortune and inde- pendence that is guaranteed by no other degree.
 Aside from the opportunities of actual exercise of the art on the farm there Is always a demand for the young man who has mastered some specially of ag- rculture in the government departments. Here there is rapid and high promotion

Stevenson, June S.-(Special. )-Since the ,oo0 fire on the 14th of May in the business section of Stevenson there has been and still is a brisk trading in real estate. This is not confined to the burned district. John Allison has bought for s2750 the residence belonging to Dr. J. W. Boggess, known as the Reid house; Dr. Gentry of Milan, Ala, has purchased the pretty home of Richard Merritt; Dr. George L. Austin has bought several lots from Maj. l. P.

In the burned district C. D. Timberlake sold to Gonce Bros. a six foot alley a little more than a hundred feet deep for $500 early in the week. This joins the McMahan lot, which Gonce Bros. have purchased and on which they will build modern brick building for their mercantile business. Other lots which have changed hands since the fire in the burned district are: The P C. Puckett lot, sold to G. H. McMahan, the

 One conservative business man predict. that in ten years the fire will be wortf more than S100,000 to Stevenson, despite the individual losses which cannot be re placed. The town records, which were 1T the custody of Mayor J. K. Shofner, were burned. but a strong sentiment has de veIoped among the business men against allowing any but brick or cement build ings on Main street, where the burned business section is being rebuilt. small fire occurred here yesterday afternoon when the pump house belonging to the Southern railroad at Crow creek bridge was burned,

UNIVERSITY ADDS HIGHWAY COURSE To Meet Demand for Train
 ed Men in Science of Road Building

University June S.-(Special )-The University of Alabama has establish ed a regular four years course leading to the degree of bachelor of science in high way engineering. The purpose of the course is to meet the demands of the times for specially trained men in the science of road loca tion, construc- lion and maintenance. When Conner hall, the finest engineering building in the south, was planned a roads ma terials laboratory was provided and splendidly equipped in order to afford facilities for testing road materials as part of the work of the official state testing laboratory, located at the uni versity and for instruction purposes in the course in civil engineering and in road engineering. Besides the roads ma terials laboratory, Conner hall contains well equipped physical and cement lab oratories. The magnificent state geo. logical survey collections and equip ment housed in Smith hall will also be constantly utilized for instruction purposes in the new course.
 As is known, the recent legislature created a state highway commission, but the establishment or the course In highway engineering at the university does not come direct result of this Legislation. It is part of the gen. eral plan of development of the en- gineering school of the University of Alabama. The new course promises to be very popular Already a number of students have signified their inten- tion of taking the course when 1t Is offered for the first time next Septem- Der, and it, is believed that students not only from Alabama but from all the south will be attracted to the uni persity to prepare themselves to be- come experts in the art oi building mod ern highways and to assist in the pop ular good roads movement

 On Wednesday morning workmen were put to work preparing to lay a cement sidewalk around the Bank of Ragland.
 The mayor and board of aldermen of Ragland had big shift-up al their last meeting. Mayor Davis got right in be- hind the council and told them they had to clean up the town for he was tired of being called down by the health officer.
 The city council of Ashville has agreed to spend $500 on the lake in the east end of town in beautifying cleaning it out and enlarging It. Work Is to start immediately. Mayor Inzer has already cleaned out part of the spring.
 As Odenvile is the only town in the county that has yet made any prepar- ations for the Fourth of July, it is ex- peeted that a large crowd will be there. This being the first convention the Confederate veterans have had, 1t will be largely attended.
 The postmaster at the Pell City office has had his salary raised from 5000 to s12O0. This was the only office that was raised in the county.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS
 IN PERRY COUNTY

Marion, June s.-(Special )-The result of the past weeks work has brought about the brightest crop prospects seen in Perry county at this season of the year in a number of seasons. The crops are thoroughly clean, the past everal days of sunshine has caused the cotton plant to forge to the front, and while in some instances corn has needed rain, still no material damage has been done to the crop.
 The farmer and merchant are optimls- tic and should present conditions hold out the coming fall season will find the black belt thea most favored portion Of the state.
 The boil weevl Is getting nearer to this section, but our best planters will meet 1t, and the general belief Is that this portion of the belt will immediate- lv adjust itself to the changed condi- ton and thereby bring about a favorable condition of affairs under the new sys- tenn of plantation management.
