T|DEWATER WILL
 USE OWN LIGHTS Will Install System on Ac- count of Alleged High
 Price

In an effort to escape the alleged high price for electric lights charged by the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company, the Tidewater line will install on it's right of way 100 lights, according to an announcement last night. The lights will be used to take the place of lights now furnished by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, and for which the Tidewater pays. It is stated that the lighting system of the Tfdewater will receive it's current from the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, the same source from which operating current is obtained. The com pany may later on offer to furnish the city with are lights at lower price than the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. However. no suggestion has been made to the city in this connec- ton yet. The Tidewater officials are of the opinion that the lighting system for the right of way will be ready for serv- ice during the next 30 days.

on the fourth floor of the same build ing.
 Why should people be interested in fashions for their back and not for the inside of their heads?" asked Mr. Milan.
 The big stores of this city draw GUS toners by showing in widow displays what can be found on the inside of the store. That's what MT. Milan is doing with the public library. He believes that the popularity, growth and hence the service of the public library of any com munity is in direct ratio to the number of people in that community who know there is such a thing as a library and what a library is.
 In his window display he has rows of books under different divisions; books for boys and girls; books for the home; books for the office; books for the fac tory; books for entertainment: books on social service. In that window he has three or four shelves of books. It's a revelation to look at them and see the marvellous range of topics covered. book there to interest every person in this city. And in the library on the top floor of the city hall building are thousands of such books for whoever will go and ask 
 Incidentally, people who have not been up to the library in the last few days will see a marvellous change. It has been entirely rearranged, the desk moved and racks rearranged. Since Miss Miller has been placed in charge of the reference and reading room, another entrance to the library to the left of the elevator has been opened. People now going into the reference and reading room need not en- ter the other part of the library.
 MT. Milan stated yesterday that the city commissioners had authorized a new floor to be put in above the city hail armory, filling up the opening of what heretofore has been the armory gallery. This will furnish much additional space for the library, practically doubling it's shelf capacity and giving room for much more growth. Workmen already are em- ployed putting in this new floor
 Since the new library board was ap- pointed some months ago by Commits sioner Weatherly, and MT. Milan en- ployed to have charge of the library sys- tenn, a great change has been made in just the general appearance of the cen tral library at the city hall. All of the rooms were we'll filled with people yes terday, potted plants have been set about. giving a comfortable, pleasing atmosphere to the place. and everywhere the touch of trained and expert hand has made itself manifest.

the average attendance is 100 for the term ending January.
 Five months is all that Alabama seem to give her children that till the soil for a school year. The pitiable fact is due to mo funds The salaries of the teachers are so low, so meager, so utterly made quate it is almost a shame to mention them in connection with the account of the splendid service given. The teachers of Cullman receive from sS5 to s60 per month, certainly many more $35 than s60.
 What labor they expend, what sacrifices they make, what long years in prepara- tion, what comfortless homes and what thankless results are written in the hearts of these lives, and some day a reckoning will be called for from the official family of Alabama.
