ANNISTON
Many Require Auto Licenses-Crim- inaI Court Convenes Next Week

Anniston. October 7.-(SpeciaO Probate Judge John Crook is being be- sieged by queries from auto owners this year. So far more than 50 owners of machines in this county have sought the probate judge in an effort to get this years licenses, but they have not arrived from Montgomery, and are not expected here for some days to come.
 Only a few more civil cases remain to be tried in the city court, and 1t is thought that these will be disposed or by the last of the week. The criminal docket is set for next week and will probably consume two weeks before the murder cases will be taken up.
 The Calhoun county board of edu- cation met yesterday at Piedmont and made out the annual school budget, after which the routine business was transacted. According to local school authorities it will be very hard this year to get enough money to keep the schools in session for over fiom five to six months. This Is caused by the increase in attendance which has necessitated the employment of more teachers.
 The rural economics course, which is a new course of study being con ducted under the supervision of Prof. Russell S. King, principal of the Cal houn County High school, has been started in this county. The first meet ing was held at the Ohatchie High school. and from the point of att tendance and interest was a great success. Another meeting will be held next week, but the place has not yet been fixed Professor King tests soil and makes milk tests for butter fats. The farmers in the community where the meetings are held bring in their products to be tested and in this way are benefited

JACKSON, MISS.
"White Way" Illuminated Amid Merry Making-Auto Day Will Be Big Oc- casiOn at Fair

Jackson, Miss. October 7.-(Spe- cial. )-That section of the Capitol City known as East Jackson and the east end of Capitol street abutting the old capitol building was illuminated to- night as a continuation of the great white way Jackson is establishing be- tween the union depot and the Old capitol-the lights being. turned on for the first time. Jackson was in happy frame of mind and made merry over the illumination, as it adds greatly to the appearance of the city. Brass bands were adding to the merry mak- ing, fireworks, whistles and the shouts of the populace made noises that put pandemonium in the shade. This makes continuous white way from the old capitol to the depot save two blocks that are occupied by public buildings. churches. etc, but it Is hoped and ex- pected that in course of time arrange ments will be made to bring them in line.
 The Board of Trade and the Young Mems Bus1ress club, acting jointly, re- port that they have secured a first class cigar factory for Jackson, of which R. O. Hoffman, cigar manu- facturer of Florida. with several years experience, will be the manager and moving spirit.
 The Jackson Automobile association proposes to make Wednesday, October 27. the biggest and best day of the fair with 500 or more gorgeously decorated cars in the procession to the fair grounds. Auto owners from all over the state have already signified their intention of participating in the pa geant. which will outdo anything of the kind ever before attempted in Mis- sissippi and we'll worth a visit to the fair to see.
