WOODROW WILSON

Woodrow Wilson was born II
= Staunton, Virginia In 1855. Hi
father was a distinguished Pres.
byterian preacher, and the sor
was educated In schools ir
Stanton, Augusta. Georgia, and
Columbia, South Carolina where
the father held pastorates. He
entered Davidson College in 1873
and in 1875 went to Princeton.
In 1879 he took law at the Uni
versity of Virginia.
MI. Wilson made his mark both
at Princeton and Virginia, taking
the writer's and the orators
prizes at the latter institution.
He began to practice law in At
lanta, but abandoned it for post
graduate work, and took his Doc
tor of Philosophy's degree at
Johns Hopkins. His thesis for
that degree was Congressional
Government. and was immedi-
ately reconized as an authorita-
tive treatise on the subject.
Abandoning law and politics
Mr.. Wilson devoted himself to
teaching. He was professor of
history and political science at
Bryn Mawr College from 1885
to 1888 and at Wesleyan Univer-
sity from 1888 to 1890, when
Princeton University called him
to the chair of Jurisprudence and
politics. In 1902 he was made
president of Princeton which
put him in the very fore front of
educators. All during
this time Mr.. Wilson occasional
y delivered addresses on govern F..
nent and public questions which
aroused profound attention for
heir c~learness of perception and !

SNSA AS1e 4ss~
delegation Of the citizens from
the county for and against the
measure, were evenly divided.
And as the act was to be left to
a vote of the people of that part
of the county to be affected, this
rule was doubly called into play.
Second, the manner in which
the senator from Coving-
ton county fought the measure in
the House caused the chairman
of the House committee to think
it particularly right and proper
to force him to make his fight
openly in the Senate where he
should make it.
Senator Mounger was from
Collins, the present countryside.
Out Of several hundred votes IN
that precinct he received a bare
majority. At Seminary, the can
didate for the location Of the new
court house, he received an al
most unanimous vote. It was al.
legedlwith offers of written proof,
but by him openly denied. that'the
explanation of the vote in both
precints was his promise to aid
in establishing a court house at
Seminary. The question of his pre-
election attitude, however, was
not allowed discussion before the
committee. The majority of the
House committee very properly
decided that the evidence before
them was that the people of Cow
lngton county were entitled to
another courthouse provided the
people voted it in an election
such as the law provides to de-
eide such things.
Third. While geographically
the case of the supporters of the
bill was extremely weak there
were other considerations. The
Seminary crowd prayed hard for
a divorce from Collins. Things
more or less unpleasant in their
nature and hardly to be argued
publicly against their fellow
countymen were argued in favor
of the bill. Seminary bound it,
self to pay all expenses including
the building of a courthouse and
transcribing the records. Some
justification of Seminary's wish
for a separation has developed in
the last few days. Before the
expected arrival of the account

Weather Conditions

Birmingham. December 7.-G P. M)- Rain or snow prevails throughout the lake region attending the eastward march of low" which was this morning west of Lake Superior, but on tonights map appears northeast of Lake Michigan. As an accompaniment of this How" a rapid rise in the temperatures took place. which was followed by a corresponding rapid fall in the readings in the upper valley states. Huron, S. D.. reported 24 hour rise of 40 degrees to a. m. Saturday morning, and a fall of 34 degrees for the 2i hours to D. m. Saturday night. In western Minnesota and eastern Dakotas, where the readings were considerably atove the freezing point Saturday morn irg, conditions below the zero point were recorded early Saturday night.
 Brisk winds also followed the storm center, and the main body of the high pressure area which was Saturday morn ing centered in the Pacific northwest, seems to be directed towards the lake region. Should this take place. probably no very cold change will be experienced in Alabama at this time, only a moder- ate cold change overspreading the state Sunday to be followed by nearly sta- tIonary condition of the temperature Sum day night and Monday.
 Some rainfall was reported along the southeastern and southern coasts during the past 2i hours, but it was clearing throughout nearly all southern sections at p. m. Saturday. Fair weather is indicated for Alabama Sunday and prob ably Monday.

GENERAL CONSTRUCTION
 ALONG MODERN LINES

tConstruction-This hotel will be con structvd in the most modern and scientific manner. The steel superstructue fur nished by the American Bridge company, will be supported on concrete footings carried down to solid bed rock. On ac- count of the formation of the soil in this district for a building of this character spread footings could not be used.
 Al floors will be constructed of hollow tile arches with concrete covering; this construction being considered the best fireproof construction known in engineer
 ing circles All floors, where practicable, will be tile. marble or cement, insuring absolute cleanliness and proof against
 vermin.
 The steel work is designed in accord ance with the most rigid specifications for this class of work and will be fabricated according to the most modern and sci- entihc shop practice. and Is designed to carry an additional future wing. Another important feature is the com plete housing in of all piping. stacks and vents from ground to roof. which, when exposed to view invariably spoil the ex- terior and interior appearance of an otherwise pleasing structure.
 .Exterior-As this hotel Is so situated
 the rear and alley elevations are exposed to the view of the downtown office build- ings and also to the Highlands, for this
 reason great care and expense will be taken to use first class face brick with pleasing coloring and workmanship of the highest order. Belt courses have also
 been specified and designed with the idea of making as pleasing as possible the view of this building, which would otherwise, be an eyesore.
 Another feature which will make the appearance of this building more pleas ing, especially from the upper stories of the downtown office buildings, Is the com pete housing in of all tanks, vents and other roof necessities These roof houses will have the same brick treat. ! ment as the balance of the building, thereby nssfhie them less conspicuous. hes hat 0lso been designed to har-
