HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, August Especially old Williams school building. a large frame structure in the eastern part of the city, was destroyed by fire early yes- terday, entailing a loss of about S5OO0 partly insured. The building was erected in 1907 by a company composed of Huntsville business men and was estab- lished as training school for boys. The venture did not pay and the school went out of business after the first year. Later the building was rented to the city and was used by the Huntsville High school until kst year. It was the prop erty of Mrs J. L. Ferguson when it burned.

LOANS SECURED ID RUN MISSISSIPPI STATE Much Money Is Needed Un- til Taxes Are Paid
 Next Winter
PROPERTY VALUATION
 WILL BE INCREASED
Commission Named by Legislature Will Soon Have Assessments on More Equitable Basis and
 Revenues Will Go Up

Jackson Miss, August 5.-(Special) Mississippi has been in the money mar ket this week, and got what she went after-S1, ,295, GOO, which is in addition to S4O0O0O borrowed during the month of June.
 The late legislature authorized the gov- ernor to borrow $S0o,0O0 to be used as needed in meeting current expenses-the chairman of the ways and means commit tee of the house having found no way to dodge or get around deficit in that sum staring the state in the face. In June half that sum was borrowed so that the school teachers might be paid. A few days ago the governor contracted for $350,000 more, all of which is to be repaid next winter after taxes have come in. The interest rate was fixed at 40.
 Another loan authorized by the legis- lature was S145,00O, or so much thereof as may be necessary to be used in the purchase of not more than 5000 acres of delta lands to be added to the 15,000-acre convict farm in Sunflower county, was made at 490 The idea of the legislature was to buy a lot of wild lands, clear them and put in thorough state of culti- vation, thus giving the convicts something g with which to keep busy during the win ter months and when 1t is too wet to work the fields.
 But that was not all the money the state got this week. Bonds in the sum of s800,000 were also sold going at A to H. R. Grant & Co.,, of New York, the same firm that made the above loans. The major portion of this sum, or S500,00 was used in redeeming old bonds falling due August 1, and the deal was put through on time, though the new bonds had gone astray, being expressed August 29 from New York to Jackson, Mich., in- stead of Mississippi However, they were received here the morning of August 2, and the credit of the state saved py an eye-lash.
 There were also bonds for $300,000 in the batch, these being issued: S125,00O for the Centennial exposition at Gulfport, $125,00 for an industrial training school for the incorrigible youth of the state. In all this makes $1, ,695, 900 that has been borrowed by the state of Mississippi very recently and all but $500,0OO of which went into the treasury.
 UNHEALTHY CONDITIONS
 While there is nothing surprising or shocking in the fact that a sovereign state should borrow million or two dol lars, it does indicate an unhealthy condi- ton of affairs when it is known that the income is not equal to the expendi-

 For fifteen years,' continued Mrs. Whitmire, T suffered with rheumatism and other troubles. could find nothing to do me any good and had gotten to where I felt like life was hardly worth living. I was disturbed so at night by my kidneys, nervousness and rheumatic pains in my shoulders and limbs I couldn't get any sound sleep at all. I had nervous headaches almost constantly. l had no desire for any kind of food and would simply have to force myself to eat in order to live. had indigestion so bad the gas seemed to get up around my heart and almost cut off my breath at times and the pains in my breast and stomach would be awful.
 T could tell my troubles were leaving me in just few days after I began on Tanlac, and it is astonishing what two bottles of this medicine did for me I haven't the slightest sign of rheumatism now .e<<.the nervous headaches have left me enufcfy. I can eat just anything want now without any suffering after ward. I am no longer nervous and never slept better in my life than l do now. The pains in my chest and short ness of breath don't bother me any more. As I have already said, I have gained twenty pounds and I feel stronger and better than I have in 15 years. Tan lac has simply made a new woman out of me and no one could blame me for praising it.''

Chairman Glynn called the convention

James was escorted to the chair and
introduced. He Immediately launched
into his address. He lauded the presi-

ularly in regard to the controversy
with Germany over the submarine
warfare and our relations with
Mexico. An enthusiastic demonstra-

Wilson, which lasted more than twenty
minutes. At the close of Chairman

President Woodrow Wilson was
ffty-six years two months and four
days old when he took the oath of
office March 4, 1913. He was the eighth
native of Virginia to attain the presi-
dency.
About two years after Woodrow Will
sons birth his father accepted call
to the passionate of the Presbyterian
church of Augusta, Ga. This was at
that time one of the most influential
congregations in the South, and the
elder Wilson remained as it's pastor
throughout the Civil war. He was rec
OgniZed as one of the leading divineS
of the South.
Woodrow was only five years old
when the war broke out, and as Au-
gusta was not the scene of any actual
conflict, the boy knew little about what
was going on. He was also shielded
from the stormy passions and violent
preiudices of the war, and grew up
into manhood unwarped by sectional
hate.
The elder Wilson did not force the
education of his son. He took him on
Journeys about the city, visiting fac
tories and explaining to him how cloth
is made. He also read to him by the
hour. But the boy himself did not
learn to read until long after the aver
age age when children are supposed to
read. This is rather remarkable when
one thinks of the omnivOrous appetite
for books the president has always
had. But when he did learn to read
he more than made up for lost time.
He is, at the present time, one of the
most widely read men in this or any
other country.
The early, years of the presidents
life were spent in the interesting
though inconspicuous pursuit of knowl-
edge. He specialized in the law, in
American history, and in political
economy. With this foundation laid,
he burst upon the political world in
1910 when he was elected governor of
New Jersey on the Democratic ticket.
In the second year of his governor
ship his boom for president was start
ed under the management of William
r. McCOmbs, one Of his former stu
dents at Princeton. During the pre-
convention months no less than half a
dozen other entSnnts for presidential
honors made their appearance.
At the subsequent Democratic ma
tional convention at Baltimore, June
2S-July 2, Mr.. Wilson beat out all en-
tries with a vote that increased at
each roll call till his victory was re-
corded on the forty-sixth ballot. In
the election that followed he was an
easy victor over the Taft and Roose-
Welt tickets, though his entire popular
vote did not reach that accorded Will
liam Jennings Bryan in 1908.
