The origin of the fire has not yet been determined. but the prevail ing opinion now is that it caught in the basen ent as those who reached the scene. out from the basement and running up the walls of the west side of the buid- ing, this doing away with the theory that it was caused from defective electric wir- ing. President Miller stated this morning that only 8 short while ago a represen- tative of the Southeastern Underwriters | association inspected the wiring and pro- nounced it safe in every respect. This morning at o'clock at the Bap- tst church the citizens of the town and pupils of the school met and had most enthusiastic meeting, and the loyalty of both pupils and citizens was most com mendable. President Miller called the school roll and only a few pupils were absent. Talks were made by each mem- Der of the faculty.

Hill and A. B. Hooper of Albert vile, who is also a trustee of the school he will leave tonight for Montgomery, where tomorrow they will confer with the governor and other state officials in re- gard to the erection of the new building, and they feel confident that in the near future Albertville will have one of the handsomest school buildings in the state
 Another loss in the burning that was nor reported is the football and baseball suits and other equipment in the athletic room. Nothing was saved Every citizen
 in Albertville has expressed himself as anxious to do something for MT. Miller, and the fact that the school will not lose but one days session is considered remarkable, and the harmony and energy that prevails among Albertvlle's citfzen- ship is winning commendation throughout the entire state

SPITZER, BLOCKADE RUNNER,
DIES ABOARD FOOFiNG SUEY

1.-The news come out that an abscure
forecastle hand who died at sea was
the daredevil Splitter The Foohng
Suey arrived about October 6, having
sailed from Mahukona on May IL and
the story of Spitzer's death has just
reached those here and those who knew
him.
Splitter died at sea after trying
bravely to hide his identity, and doing
the hard work of a forecastle hand
under the racking pains of consump-
tive almost worn to skin and bones.
Splitter was the hero of the oriental
waters for a decade or more. With
has brother, Dick, he revived in reality
the most adventurous days of the free
lances of the seven seas. AS pearler,
blockade runner, gun runner, Louis
Spitzer had hair breadth escapes
which would fill many volumes. Again
and again he laughed at great fleets of
the world powers, at the splitting guns
Of heavily manned forts, the gold lace
of angry admirals and even the stone
walls of oriental jails. His brother
shared most of his later adventures.
Throughout the Russo-Japanese war
