BRIDGE SITE IS
TED
The County Commissioners
Make Trip to Molino and
Other Points

The board of county commissioners
made an auto trip to Moline Friday
to inspect the site of the bridge that
is to be built there. The purpose of
the trip was to examine the bridge
site and get fully posted on the con-
ditions at Moline before the award
of the contract is made. From Mo
limo, the board went to F1omaton to
look over a bridge that is being con-
structed there by the Southern Con-
struction Co. From there they went
to Brewton, Ala, and saw a concrete
bridge that has lately been built by
this same company. The board was
well pleased with this bridge. The
commissioners are getting all the in
formation they can about concrete
bridges, for they contemplate replac-
ing several wooden bridges in the
county with cement ones in the near
future.
The board did not come to decis-
ion as to the award of the contract
for the Moline bridge and it is not
thought that it will be made at the
special meeting of the board Tues
day. There is some question about
the building of the approaches TO
the bridge. One approach is in Santa
Rosa county and nothing can be done
until the Santa Rosa commissioners
are consulted.
The following commissioners made
the trip: Chairman ]. G. White, L.
w. Hardy, ]. D. McCurdy and II. E.
Candy.

"Shininu Stone.w

Perhaps the most remarkable of all the Constantinople prophecies" re- gently discussed, is connected with the Shining Stone" in the mosque of St.. Sophia. This is q slab of translucent marble, brought from Persia, which has been fixed in the west side of the gallery. It emits rays of dazzling bril- liancy during times of national pros- perity or religious triumphs of Islam but becomes black and opaque, how ever cloudless the skies, when disaster threatens the Ottoman empire or the faith. It so far never has been seen darkened, though the sultan's armies have frequently been defeated, and the power of Islam seemed to suffer eclipse.

"Dixie." :"

The song 'Dxie'' was written in 1853 by D. b. Emmett, and Was first publicly sung by Bryant's mintrels. ill New York. at Mechanics hall. The in- spring air and the words, which were ln the darky dialect, appealed to the South, where the song became popular. t became the battle song of the con- federacy. There were two other "OlXies,' the one northern ballad ana the other a southern ballad of the Civil war; by Albert Pike, which first ap- peared in the Natchez (Miss.) Courier. The origin of the phrase "Dixieland" IS thought to be in the name of MT. Dlxle, slave-holding New York citi. zen, who moved to the South. His large number of slaves, the story runs, Demoaned leaving their old home, which they called DiXies Land. The phrase spread and was appropriated TOT the Southern states, which were substituted for the original DiXieland 1he phonetic connection between the word and Mason and Dixor's line also lias been pointed out. The boundary llne to the negroes was "Mason and Dixie's" land.

Not the Horse They Prayed For.

The nuns of a certain charitable il. stltutiOn in Calcutta had bus horse that had done much useful service. Iii course of time the horse died, much to the grief of the good ladies whom he had served so faithfully and well. The providing of Q successor was the next problem, and, as funds were short, the nuns decided to resort to prayer. They prayed long and earnestly and one morning they discovered horse grazing on the lawn. They were frm- ly convinced that their prayers had been answered.; the horse was taken to the stable and harnessed to the bus. A few days later the institu- tiOn was visited by q prominent citizen, the owner of a number of race horses and a supporter of charity. He claimed the bus horse as one of his racers, in spite of the protest of the nuns that t had been sent to them in response to their earnest prayers. He was good enough, however, to give them q real bus horse to replace the horse that he had claimed.
