CALHOUN HAS BIG
 HIGH SCHOOL 1 FIGHT

Montgomery, March 19.--(Special. .)-Su- perintendent of Education Henry J. Viii lingham has been in conference with a ence to the establishment of high school in that county. as provided for by the bill of Representative Joe Arnold. It is un- derstood that two locations have been suggested for the new institution, one at Oxford and the other at Piedmont. The delegation that called on Superintendent Wiliingham want the school established at Oxford, maintaining that that was the better place of the two. The Oxford del- egation was headed by w. H. Cooper of that place. who was member of the house of representatives of the state four years ago.
 Under the present law the state is not allowed to contribute maintenance fund for county high schools in those counties in which other state institutions of learn ing are located. In Calhoun county there is a normal school, located at Jackson. vile.
 Some weeks ago MT. Arnold, representa-; tive from Calhoun, succeeded, after ho( debate, in having the house pass bi allowing the establishment of high school in his county, notwithstanding the fact that that county already has a nor nal school at Jacksonville.
 It Is now reported that there is much difference of opinion in regard to the To- cation of the new high school, one fac ton wanting the institution at Piedmont and the other wanting 1t located at OK ford How the matter will be decided is not known. though citizens of the county will very likely agree upon a location within the next few days.

CULLMAN BOY
 HAS AER0PLANE Fred Schauffler Plans to Build Machines-COurt
 Delay Is Explained

Cglman. March 20.-(Speclal.)-
 Sohauffler, young man who was reared in Cullman and has always been a me- chanlcal genius, has recently become
 prominent as prospective man-bird. Mr. Schauffler has been in Illinois for the past several months, during which time he has been engaged in perfecting plans for the construction of what promises to
 be very successful aeroplane, and now
 that the plans have all been completed MT. Schauffler is In Cullman making prep aration to begin work fin constructing his machine, providing he can secure a field suitable for a workshop and testing ground He expects to begin work at as early date as possible and hopes to have the machine finished and tested in time
 to enter the contest for the S50.O00 prize offered by William Randolph Hearst for a cross-country flight from New York to San Francisco.
 The regular term of the circuit court will not be held in Cullman county. at this time. The dates for the beginning of the spring term of the circuit court In this county have always been the third Monday In March, but the court will not be held at this time letter from Judge
 
 post ponement of the terms sets forth the reasons for not holding the court fol- lows:
 "On the 11th inst. the governor approved an act of the legislature changing tho time of holding the circuit court in Gull man county, and which repealed the law as it stood before, fixing the term of court in that county for the third Mon day in March. Under the new law the court for that county begins the first Monday ip March and Continues in session for four weeks. On the date of approval of the last-named act by the governor, namely, the 11th of this month the time for the convenfng of the court has passed oy nearly week under the new act, and this new act is now the law under which the courts of Cullman county can and must be held, it follows under author ity of Walker vs. the state, reported in 139 Ala, 56. that no regular term of the circuit. court for Cullman county can be held this spring. D. w. SPEAkE." Judge Speake proposes to call special term of court to dispense with the busi- ness In this county if necessity demands such action, and it is very probable that this will be done.
