CALLS
 BOND ELECTION

Aliceville, May 25.-(Special.) )-The council has just issued notice of an election called for the purpose of de- terminings whether 5000 worth of bonds be ie ,ied by the town, the election Is set for the 22d of June. Delay was caused on account of a sentiment in favor of issuing bonds both for water works and school purposes, and the two propositions seemed certain to be coupled together for long while. A narrow escape from central fire gave rise to the granting of a franchise to private company when the two propo- sitions became separated.
 The water works company has been formed, franchise granted, and mo- tice thereof given and the company is now preparing the necessary papers to its final incorporation, and the fran chise will be published in about two weeks. It Is not possible to state just when the work will begin, but 1t is the intention to start at the earliest possi- ble date. f
 The school building is being pro- noted by the school board and council jointly. There Is also probability that location will be voted on at the same election, as the council has recommend ed that the two most suitable- sites be submitted to the people, There are several sites in view, among them be- ing two on the most prominent hills in the town, which will likely be the two submitted.

PERMENTER FACES
 THE HOME FOLKS

Jackson, Miss, May 25.-Swinton Per menter. the young man sentenced to be hanged for the murder of Miss Janle Sharp in Winston county last July, whose case was recently reversed by the su- preme court. and who was admitted to bail by Chancellor Lyell on habeas cor pus, left Jackson last night, accompanied by his father and brother. stating that he was going back home to see his IT other; that he was innocent of any crime, and was not afraid to meet the people of the community in which he was raised and had lived all his life.
 It is feared here that Permenter is talk ing his life in his own hands, as public opinion is very much divided as to his guilt of the outrage and murder of the girl, and there are those who are de- mandns an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. It was with the geratest diff flculty that the officers of the county pre- vented a lynching when Permenter was first arrested and charged with the hor- rible crime, and nothing but the promise of speedy trial prevented his dealing With by Judge Lynch. However pas sions have mad time to cool. and those who clamored for the life of the young, man year ago may now be satisfied .o let the law take its course.

.BIBB COUNTY HIGH CLOSES

Centreville, May 25.-(Special 1.-The Bibb County High school closed it's most successful session last night in the pres- ence of an audience which filled every seat in its spacious auditorium. An ora torical contest among the boys of the Moren Literary society and the award ing of medals and honors was the occa- sion of this gathering.
 The orators medal offered by W. w. Lavender of Centreville, was won by Ralph Thomas, son of ex-Commissioner w H. Thomas of Randolph. This prize was competed for by seven students and each one of the contenapts deserves spe- cial praise and mention for the excel lence of his performance. The speakers were Jesse J. Wright, Guy Kornegay, H. w. Mitchell. Leonard Harvey, J.. Mayfield Ward, Ralph Thomas and Will liam Hayes Mason.
 Miss Grey Cleveland, daughter of w. H. Cleveland of Centreville, won first honors at the Bibb County High school For her brilliant work she was awarded the scholarship medal, offered by Hon. John T. Ellison of Centreville. Miss Cleveland's record is a most remarkable one and it is hardly probable that it will ever be surpassed. Her record in Latin was perfect and in all her other classes she came close to the 100 mark
 Practically the same faculty will be retained for another year. Dr. R. F. Cooper one of the most capable edu- cators in the south, agreed to serve as principal of the Bibb County High school for another year. though in so doing he had to decline a professorship in the University of Ohio, which had been ten- dered him. Those who will serve with him during the next session are: Miss Harriet B. Brogdon, first assistant to principal Miss Sarah K. Bagby, second assistant to principal, and Miss Lucille Hightower and Miss Katie Hightower will instruct the students in instrumental and vocal music.
 The concrete manual training building, located on the school campus, has just been completed and adds much to the appearance of the grounds. The 5000 in- crease in the High school appropriation, made by the last legislature, largely through the efforts of Representative w. w. Lavender, will be used in employ ing thoroughly trained man to teach science, scientific agriculture and man. ual training. Thus placing the school in close touch with the farmers of the county and teaching the boys to apply their education to the practical affairs of life. Dr. Cooper's purpose being to make education as useful and practical as possible.
 The following students of the Bibb County High school made distinction in their studies for the session just closed: Grey Cleveland, Herman Glider, Hester Lewis, Ralph Thomas. Victor Hunt, Kathleen Thompson, John Percy Kenne- dy, Jr., Herman Lee, Mayfield Ward, Harper Stacey, Kate Cleveland, Homer Gentry, Pearl Carroll and Arlie Belcher.
