THAT CONVICTS WILL
STAY ON THE ROADS
Member of the Board of Revenue Asserts That
County Is in the Best of Financial Condition.
Says Work on Taylor's Ferry Road Will Begin
Within a Birmingham Wants to Be
On the Warrior

bridge work is permanent, as concrete
was used.
Today every convict crew is busily
at work repairing the damage caused
by the storms and floods of few
weeks ago. These storms set us back,
but we are coming on and the gen.
eral public would be surprised to know
the extent of the work accomplished
by 500 convicts in a day.
And under the circumstances while
delayed by floods and rains, 1 can
promise that within one month from
today there will be crew of con-
victs at work grading the Warrior
highway to Taylor's Ferry. Then as
other crews complete their work in
other parts of the county they will be
transferred to this work. II this pol
lev Is continued by our successors the
Warrior highway to Taylor's Ferry
will be completed within the next
year.
This convict road work will not
even be checked by the board of rev.
enue awarding the contract to con-
struct the Warrior highway to Nichols
Fishtrap on September IL. The finances
of the county are in such shape that
the convict road system can be not
only maintained but enlarged to the
greater needs of the county as well
as constructing other public works by
contract

College Building Will Follow Gen
erai Outline of Church.

THE new Penn College building
will be constructed along the general
design Of the Quaker Meeting House"
said architect A. T. Simmons this
morning. While il would be impos.
sible to follow out in detail the colon,
ial style of the church, the new struc.
turs will have a general appearance
identical with the meeting house. The
fact that there is no plan upon which
a large three story tower may be
drawn, Incorporating colonial design
makes this impossible. The building
will be erected with the same mater,
ial, having the same pressed brick
and tile roof, Such a catastrophe as
occurred this spring, will never occur
again, for the new Penn will be fire
proof throughout"

To the trustees, President Edwards,

citizens:
Dear Friends: Permit me to ex-
press my establishment and highest
appropriations of the unprecedented
success of a three months Tor less)
campaign in securing subscriptions
amounting to 100000 for Penn Col
lege.
Your great loss was your greater
gain. But for the destruction of your
building by fire, which aroused such
general sympathy and enthusiasm,
probably not half the amount would
have been secured.
Four years ago Earlham entered up
on a campaign TO raise 100000 in
two years and 1t secured only about
one third of the amount and had its
chief building burned. do not think
Richmond with $4,000 people would
have subscribed what Oskaioosa did
with only 10000 or $4,000 people.
My mind and spirit join you in
Thanksgiving and praise to our heaven.
ly Father for this amazing grace and
living kindness.
Your sincere friend.

Announcement that Lord WimbOrne
