TRACHONA WILL
 BE ATTACKED
Campaign Is Planned by County Health Physi- elan Miner to Be
 gin at Once
DISEASE IS PREVALENT

County Physician Miner and City Physician Hunt will begin an active and comprehensive roundup of the traohoma cases m the schools of this district this week. County Physician Miner was advised by Superior Judge .>utter yesterday that his duties be- gan with his appointment and that the formality of taking the oath of office could be attended 10 at any time The disease exists in the schools of the district to such an extent that it may be called an epidemic, as it is highly courageous and the health or ficers viii deal with it collectively as well as individually. In one school room, the pupils Of which are Mex jeans. all but eight out of fifty-four were suffering from trachoma
 The disease has already been dis covered in other schools of the dis trict. In nearly every case the sufferers are Mexican children the number oi American children affected being very small. Apparently the dis ease does not spread very rapidly. for if this had been true trachoma
 
 IS. Physicians believe that the dis ease has existed in the schools for several years without being discover ed
 Cooperation IS Planned.
 Dr. Hunt and Dr. Miner will cooper ate in the inspection of the schools and the isolation Of the cases. This week a thorough examination of all the school children of the district, beginning with Don Luis, will be made. Some of the school rooms where Mexican children are taught haye already been examined by pr. Hunt. city health officer. All sus- picious and developed cases Of tra- choma were sent to pr. Downs, an eye specialist and of those sent 10 Dr. Downs by Dr. Hunt 23 out of 25 cases of trachOma were confirmed by the specialist
 The state health officers are cogni- zant Of the local situation through re. ports of the local officers. The dis ease is not confined to Bisbee but is preyaient in PhOeHx, Tucson and other cities of the state, so the matter comes within the jurisdiction of the state health officers to a certain eX- tent
 1t is probable that all Of the child ren suffering from this disease will be isolated from the other children by being taught in another room as is done in Phoenix. In this way, 1t is believed that the sufferers Of the disease may be given more careful attention than If they were sus- pended from school Children whose parents are financially unable to af- ford expert treatment for the dis ease, will be taken care of by either the clty or county, or perhaps both.
 The disease is very courageous and unless properly treated often causes tne loss of the eyes. Owing to ig- or prejudice, the parents of one Mexican child refuses to allow competent specialist to remove one affected eye 10 save the other un- affected eye, and the result will pro bably be the loss of both eyes

1.-THE HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA

"Tompkin's Hired Man, is the title
of drama in five acts, to be given by
the Morristown High school on Thurs
day evening, May 10th. This is strong
play of the "Old Homestead" type.
There is no finer character than Dixie,
the hired man. He compels alternate
laughter and tears, and possesses so
much of human kindness and quaint
ways, as to make him a favorite with
any audience. The other male charac-
tiers make good contrasts-Tomkins,
the prosperous, straightforward farm
! er; Jerry, the country pumpkin; Jno.
Remington, the manly young fellow;
Mr.. Rayburn, owner of Birds Island;
DIR. Fountaina, Rayburn's physician,
and the amusing Scotchman, Larry
McKillop. Mrs. Asa Tompkins is a
strong part, woman with secret
that emhitters her; Julia the spoiled
daughter; Louise, the leading juvenile;
Ruth, the romping soubrette, and Bob
binette, the Scotch maid, all are good
parts. This is fine play of American
life, and no one should fail to see 1t.

RED BAY SECURES
 STATE DONATION
Model Highway Will Be Built From Town in Direction of
 Russellyille

Red Bay February 16.-(Special. )-After long and stubborn contest Red Bay won the sS000 state donation to be used by the state highway commission in con structing a model public road in Franklin county.
 The last legislature passed a law donat- ing $S000 to every county in Alabama tha [ would duplicate the same sum. The board of county revenue took advantage of the donation and passed an order giving the money to that section of the county that would raise the largest subscription as a supplement to this sum. There were three contending sections in this county. Two were from Russellvlle and this sec tion. There was $4100 subscribed by the people of this and adjoining territory
 The construction of the road will begin al the corporation boundary of this town and extend east toward Russelville across Big Bear creek. The work is supposed to begin at an early date This means much for this section of the county, owing to the fact that the road across Bear creek becomes almost, impossible during the winter season
 There is a road being built from Tupelo, Miss, to Fulton. Miss. and the board of Supervisors of Itawamba county. Missis- sipp, has ordered the construction of a if all these roads intersect the develop ment will he great for east 1tawamba county and west Franklin county

COAST LINE FINED
 FIVE THOUSAND
Failed to Comply With Ala bama Laws, Designating
 an Authorized Agent

Montgomery. February 16.--tSpeclal.) As a result of their failure to comply with the laws of Alabama with refer ence to filing with the secretary of state papers designating an authorized agent in the state and principal place of business the Atlantic Coast Line Railway company has paid into the state treasury 5000 in cash. The Coast Line railway has also agreed to comply with the laws of the state with reference to designating place of business and naming an agent
 The payment of the large fine Is the result of the fight which Governor O'Neal has been making against foreign corporations that have not compiled with the laws of the state. Some days ago it was brought to light that the Coast Line railway ehad failed to file with the secretary of state papers desi gnating its principal place of busi- ness and it's authorized agent and the matter was immediately brought to the attention of the governor by Daniel w. Troy special connsel.
 The settlement was made by the Coast Line with the state board of ar bitration, which is composed of the governor, Auditor C. Brooks Smith and | Attorney General Robert c. Brickell.

TOEND FRAUDS IN INTERSTATE TRADE Shippers Appeal to Inter- state Commerce
 Committee

Washington, February 16-ro end alleged wholesale frauds in interstate commerce shippers, eonsignees and bankers today appealed to the Senate interstate com merce committee to recommend legislation to make railroads absolutely responsible for all shipments in bills of lading The movement has for it's purpose legislation to upset a decision of the supreme court of the United States in 1888 to the effect that an interstate railroad was not liable on bill of lading signed by station agent, unless the goods actually had been received by the railroad
 Professor Williston of Harvard univer- sity as spokesman, introduced number of dealers on commodities who spoke. Sol Wexer, a New Orleans banker; Phelan Beale, representing German cotton deal CTS, and Francis E. James of Cincinnati also addressed the committee.
 MT. Wex1er told the senators that bills of lading were the most important instru- ments of credit in the United States, and that 1t was necessary to insure their ready negotiability to have them thoroughly safe, Otherwise, he argued, bankers would not extend credit upon them.
 So wholesale had been the custom of agents of railroads issuing bills of lad Ing without receiving the goods and bank CTS having to stand the loss, MT. WeXer declared. that either bankers soon would stop advancing money on bills or would be required to charge large discounts for the risk. Exportation of goods to foreign countries. he said. was suffering because foreign bankers were afraid of American bills. He mentioned the cotton trade as suffering particularly.
 The hearing will be continued tomorrow, when opponents of the proposed legisla- tion will be heard.
