 HIGH SCHOOLS
Commission Will Establish Several Throughout the
 State in January

Montgomery, January 7-(SpeciaD The High school commission composed of Gov ernor O'Neal. State Auditor C. B. Smith and Superintendent of Education Henry J. Wilingham, will locate several addi- tional county high schools during the months of January and February in order that the communities receiving these schools may have opportunity of provid- ing necessary buildings and equipment for the opening of next session beginning in September or october.
 The commission has decided not to per- init any high schools to open hereafter the buildings complete. Tn some instances during the past several years communi- ties were allowed to begin in temporary quarters the operation of county hign schools.
 On Thursday, January 9. the comms- sion will visit lIlkmont in Limestone county to determine whether the condi- tions offered by that town (the only town qualifying for a county high schoob meet fully with the usual requirements of q county high. school. The commission will probably leave Athens by private con- veyanoe for Elkmont early on the morning of that date.
 Friday and Saturday, January 2G and 27, will be devoted to inspecting the seN eral points offering in Marshall county. The commission will leave Birmingham on an carly train on Friday the 26th. The details Of the Marshall county itinerary will be worked out fully and notice glv- en to the several places a week or 10 days before the time for making the trip. The points in Marshall county of- fering for the location of the county high school are Arab, Grassy. Cutters vile and Meltonsvile.
 on February the commission will make trip to Henry county visiting Headland and Newville, the only two places which have petitioned the location of the Henry county high school.
 A trip will be made by the commssiua on February 2s to Chambers county for the purpose of determining the location of the Chambers county high school Mill town is so far. the only point offering

POLITICAL OUTLOOK
 IN HOUSTON COUNTY
Houston High School ReOpens-Invi- tatiOns Out to Mir. and Mrs. Camp
 bells Silver Wedding

Columbia, January 7.-(SpeclaD The Houston county politicians seem to be in a class all to themselves. This is best campaigning. There are already in the field several candidates for each office that is to be vacated by the expiration of the present incumbents next year, yet only one candidate has suffered his an- nouncement to reach the public press an avowed candidate for the honor he seeks, and that one J. B. McCarty who seeks to be reelected to the office of treasurer of the county. There are for instance already in the field as many as six candidates for the office of county superintendent of education who are mak ing an aggressive campaign, yet they have not seen fit to announce. It will be re- membered that it was the still hunt meth cd that defeated the licensing of the sale of whisky in Houston county in Oc- tober just past As vet no candidates are in the field for the city positions of Columbia or Dothan.
 During the past week six new pupils have. entered the Houston State High school, one coming from Randolph coun- ty. This puts the enrolment of the Hous- ton county institution above that of any former year, and now that the farmers are about through gathering their cotton other students will enroll to take ad- of the splendid school facilities.
 It will be of great interest to their many friends throughout the south to note the invitation to the silver wedding cele MT and Mrs. George l.. Camp bell to take place at their elegant home on Main street Friday evening, January F. The invitation is as follows:

 BURSTING OF PIPE Lamar's Grocery Store at Selma Badly Damaged MAN STRUCK BY TRAIN Alabama State Express Strikes Un- known Man While Coming Into
 Burneyyille-A Broken Rib
 Penetrates His Lung
MAN STRUCK BY TRAIN

Selma January -(SpeciaL)-The wholesale grocery firm of L. and E. La mar sustained damages amounting to several thousand dollars last night by tine bursting of a water pipe in the office Of the cotton firm of Well Bros. over their store. The water from the bursted pipe flooded the store and badly damaged a large quantity of the choicest groceries carried in stock.
 The bursted pipe was discovered early this morning and the water was turned off as quickly as possible but not before the damage went into the thousands of dollars. When the employees in the cot ton office left last night tire pipe was apparently in good condition. Defective plumbing is attributed as the cause of the loss as the freezing weather caused one of the joints of the nipe to pull loose and flood the store beneath.
 An unknown white man was perhaps fatally injured by the Alabama State Ex- press on the Southern railway from An niston to Meridian. at Burnsville, about o'clock this afternoon. The injured man was brought to Selma on the train
 
 which reached here at 2:1o o'clock this afternoon and carried to an iAfrmary. where the examination revealed that his right shoulder and three ribs had been broken. One of the broken ribs had pen- etrated one of the lungs and little hope is entertained for his recovery.
 If is thought that the injured man is a resident in the country around Burns vile, as he was not dressed like tramp. The train had just rounded a curve and was going into Evansville at fast speed when the man was seen sitting on the track. The engineer blew his whistle but the man paid no attention to it and before the train could be stopped he had been knocked from the track. He was picked up and brought on to Selma.
 It is alleged that the man was in a drunken sleep on the track when he was knocked off by the engine as he smelled strong of whisky when he was carried t1 the infirmary and did not regain con

HALE EXPERIENCES
 COLD WEATHER
Rain Fell Thirteen Days During De- cember-Strcets and Roads AL
 most Impossible

Greensboro, January 7.--(Special)- coldest weather of the season is in fllI blast hero. December was fearful, and January SO far, though not so rainy, has been unusually cold. In December there were 10 clear, three partly cloudy and IS cloudy days, rain falling on IS days
 The streets of Greensboro are muddier than ever known before, and the coun- try roads arc impossible. This state of affairs is deplorable for those living in tho country Good roads are still being dis cussed
 On February the voters of Hale coun- ty will say whether or not they wish the county to issue bonds for building and im- proving public roads. Roads are so bad at present that automoblists are entirely out of business in this section
 Weather conditions have rendered it in- possible for farm work to proceed, lands broken up, etc. Farmers have ample time to sit and groan over the low price of cotton. It is said that tie acreage of cot ton will be considerably reduced in this section. Many are leaning toward the planting of more foodstuffs since they can but observe the remarkable prosper ity in Hale county, despite the poor price of cotton.

WRECK HAS HISTORY.
The Rosecrans Ends Varied Career
When Oil Takes Fire.

San Francisco, Aug. 2S.-The log of
the oil steamer Rosecrans, which burn
ed and sank at Santa Barbara yester-
day, reveals many lurid pages. Built
in Glasgow in 1888, and launched as the
'Methven CASTLE the vessel was later
purchased by the United States govern
n1ent, re-christened the General Rose
Grams, and used as an army transport
in the Spanish-American war.
One of the Phoenix Park murderers,
Carey by name, the informer who gave
up to justice his confederates in the
murder in Dublin of Lord Charles Fred
erick Cavendish. and Thomas F. Burke,
was killed on the Methven Castle near
Capetown within a few years after the
launching of the vessel.
The Rosecrans had been in the SER
vice of the Associated Oil Company for
several years as a tank ship. In
heavy blow last March, she went ashore
off Gaviota, Cal, two of her crew being
lost in the heavy Serf.
