RAGLAND PEOPLE
 MEET COMMITTEE
Escort of Honor Meet Men Who
 Worked to Secure Great h. -- dustrial School

Ragland, August 3o4(SpeciaD- Early this morning. when the news reached here that the great industrial college to be located in the southern states had been located here, the town was astir with interest Ragland has succeeded in landing a number of industrial plants, making of the old mining camp a new modern little city. When the education- al advantages are added to these Rag land should grow as never before.
 During the last session of the leg islature it will be recalled that State Senator Watt T. Brown succeeded in securing the passage of bill carrying an appropriation of $50,0OO for the es- tabshing of school of technology for boys. This work has stimulated him for more active work along the educa- tional lines and when pr. Powell was placed in the field to find suitable place for the Southern Industrial col lege to be located in one of the south ern states, Senator Brown got busy and has exerted his energies. towards seeur- ing this the greatest endowed southern school yet established.
 When the good news reached here from Nashville of the board decision to locate the school here. the citizens went
  ator W. T. Brown and Jack Laws of the St. Clair County News. A committee was appointed to arrange for the re- ception, composed ofN~the following: Drs. J. c. Wilkinson, J. T. Brown, J. P. Hawkins Messrs. M. Bandas, c. c. Davis, J. c. Swafford. H. c. Records, II. R. Blackman, C. Holloway and Prof. S. J. Mccall.
 A float was prepared with decorations to carry the committee to the depot to meet Nessrs. Brown and Laws. Speeches Were made after which the pro- cession made it's way through the main streets of the town to Senator Browns residence.
 In addition to the 5G00 acres of land offered the college MT. Brown pledged POO town lots for the school. The Rag land water power was offered. This water power will come from Lock 1 on the Coosa river where the govern ment has built one of their locks to aid in the navigation of this river

CAPT. kOLb NOT ID CHANGE NEE TING At Last Hour Georgia Com missioner Prefers
 Memphis

Montgomery. August 30.--(Special.)-- Claiming that greater harmony could be secured with the Farmers union by changing the Southern Cotton Growers convention from Montgomery to Memphis, Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hud- son of Georgia has written to capt. Reuben F. kolb, commissioner of agri- culture and industries of Alabama, urg- ing that the convention be held in Mem phis The call has been issued for this convention in Montgomery on September 12, and it is believed by officials of the state agricultural department that it would be unwise at this late date to at tempt to change the place of the con vention.
 This is the declaration of Commissioner Kolb, who believes it would be out of the question to change the place of the convention. Arrangements have been practically completed for the holding of the convention in this city. The call has been issued for Montgomery, and 1t is believed that the cotton growers of the south are looking to this city for the holding of the big meeting. The pro- gramme has been nearly completed, and many distinguished speakers have been secured for the occasion. The attempt to divert the convention from Montgomery at this late day Captain Kolb thinks, might seriously impair the purposes for which the convention has been called.
 Officials of the Alabama department were startled when telegram was re- ceiVed Tuesday afternoon from Commis- sioner Hudson, asking for an alteration of the plans which have been approved by the leading men of the southern states. The telegram was followed by a letter re- ceived Wednesday morning from the Georgia commissioner in which he told at length that he thought 1t would be more expeditions to have the convention in Memphis as that point would be more favorable to the farmers union and the convention needed the support and CO., operation of that organization.
 It So happeend that before this Mont gomery convention was called. Capt. John C. Cheney of the state department of agriculture, made a special trip to Att ianta. The Georgia commissioner was out of the city, but Captain Cheney had a lengthy talk with Commissioner Hudson s assistant who favored the calling of the convention in Montgomery Thereupon the Alabama commissioner acted without delay.
 The request of,the Georgia commssion- er according to Commissioner Kolb. will net be needed, as it Is an impossibility now to change the place of meeting and attain the wished wor success.

 Charleston, s. S.. August 3o.--With street cars running, except on the line 10 the navy yard, electric power available for commercial purposes and telephone serv- ice resumed, Charleston is getting back to the normal. Hundreds of men are labor ing to clear away the wreckage of the disastrous hurricane of Sunday night and their passage was splendid.
 Revised estimate of the damage here are more than s1,00o,Oo0. Fifteen persons are known to have pershed and 1t is feared that report from the exposed sea islands will swell to death lists and the property loss, crops being certainly ruined. The telegraph companies are receiving and sending messages, though their cables have not been wholly remedied. The dam age is so general in the city that it will be some time before all the repair neces- sary can be made. Additional policemen are continuously patrolling the streets with orders to summarily punish any per son caught footing the exposed places. Firemen are stationed in St. Michaels steeple and on top of the orphan house,
