Lipscomb were elected directors
and there are five additional
directors to be elected, one from
each supervisors distric I
throughout the county. These
five men are to be selected by
the directors already elected, and
have not as yet been named.
Mr.. Banks was not present at
the meeting Thursday night, and
when notified of his election Fri
day morning stated that on ac-
count of pressure of private
business it would be impossible
for him to serve. The directors
held another meeting Friday
night. and elected Mr.. S. B.
Johnston president.
1t will be incumbent upon the
new directors to elect a secretary
to succeed Mr.. j. G. Weatherly,
who recently rendered his resign
alton to accept a more lucrative
position as secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce in Bruins
wick, Ga. A number of applica-
tions have already been received,
and the position will doubtless be
filled within the next few days.
The meeting was presided over
by Mr.. Irwin Kaufman. who has
so efficiently served the organiza-
ton as president during the past
year, and much enthusiasm pre-
vailed. The report of Treasurer
Blake was read, and showed the
finances of the organization to be
in a fairly good condition. Mr..
Weatherly, the retiring secretary,
submitted verbal report, in
which he reviewed briefly the
work accomplished by the league
since he became secretary of the
organization about eighteen
months ago. He called attention
to the fact that during the above
mentioned period the league had
secured for Columbus the land
and industrial office of the South
ern Railway and the Mobile and
Ohio Railway, the plant of the
Cookville Veneer Company, the
annual encampment of the State
National Guard, a boat for the
Tombigbee river, wi ich means a
reduction of fifty cents per bale
in the freight on cotton and many
other things conducive to the
welfare of the city and surround
ing country.

Every Respect

The beds for the new hospital at
the state hospital for nervous diseases
have been received. The new hospi-
tai, which was converted from an old
wooden building, is now completed
and said to be one of the most mod

the inmates will have opportunity to
sleep in the open air pOrches, and the
new building will accommodate 80
patients.
The new hospital was erected a.
comparatively small cost at the sug-
gestion of DIR. J. l., Greene, the new
superintendent, who has made ar
rangements, since he arrived to take
charge of the institution to care for
all the patients in the state.

&s:s- Z hard fisht. The bill authorizes

TIE DIXIE Power Company expects

power will he used in the development

GOVERNOR EXPLAINS SCARE
Falling Walls of State Capitol Only
Layer of Tile and Plaster.

Little Rock.-GoYernor Donagney
came over from Hot Springs to be
present at the laying of the corner
stone of the Argenta school, and while
here stated that there is no founda-
ton to the report that the south wall
of the treasurer's office in the state
capitol almost caved in day or two
ago. The governor explained that a
thin layer of thing was jurred loose
by workmen chiseling off plaster, and
this thing wall was what threatened
to fall.
The report that had it not been
for quick action by the workmen, the
south wall of the treasurer's office in
the capitol would have fallen in and
further that a sound as of falling
brick was heard, and several of the
employees made a break for the win
dows and the door, might be taken
seriously by the public generally .
said the governor.
Here is the exact situation: The
south wall of the state treasurer's of.
flee thus referred to was built by
Caldwell & Drake, and from a defen-
Sive position need not be referred 10
by me except to state that, in this
particular instance, it is entirely safe.
But as to the trouble mentioned, this
is about what did occur: The plas.
tering on the interior of the treasur-
er's office had not been finished. Be
fore the walls were plastered thin
layer of tiling was fastened to them
upon which the plaster was stuck. In
finishing the treasurer's office, Ger.
tain parts of the walls are being lined
with marble Where the marble is
placed the plaster had to be taken off
In hammering this plaster off the
workmen have Jared the thin tile
loose from the walls, and that is the
only trouble that could have been en-
countered in the work that is being
done there now. Such an incident
was due only to lack of the necessary
precaution by the workmen in charge,
but at most it could amount only to a
mere trifle in the process of construc'
ton"
