TEMPORARY SELECTION

Anniston, June 3.-(Special)-A commit tee to select the temporary route for the Florida Short Line tourist route be- tween Anniston and Columbus, Ga, will probably be selected at a good roads convention to be held at Albany Ga, Thursday, and several Anniston boosters will make the trip to Albany on that day.
 The Gadsden Highway association will be represented by a number of enthus- lasts from that city.
 An important convention of the whole committee working for a suitable route for the Florida short line through Ala bama will be held on July 15, and while Anniston has already been selected as one of the pivotal points for the pas sage of the tourist route. there is gen eral interest in the selection of the route to be selected between Annston and Columbus.
 Following the meeting to be held at Albany Thursday a run of pathfinders between that city and Lake City. Fla, will be made, but is not likely that any of the Anniston or Gadsden delegates will take part in the south Georgia tour.

 Whereas, the world is just emerging from the great war, fought. in large part for the self-determination and happiness of the small nations, ano, whereas, Poland, dismembered by Ger many Austria and Russia, her na- tionai aspirations stifled, and her peo- ple prostrated by the weight Of the oppressor, is about to be reereated as a nation due in large part to the sym pathy of the world and to the realiza- ton of the injustice done by the strong to the weak, and
 Whereas, mankind has the right to expect that Poland, thus emerging from oppression and injustice. would not deny to any of her people that jus tice and liberty of which she has so long been deprived, but would accord to all of her people, of every class, race or creed, civil and religious lib- erty, and
 Whereas. Poland. while still in the process of formation, dependent upon the good will of the people of the world to achieve her place as na- ton. has suffered her Jewish citizens to be mistreated and boycotted ara massacred, and has permitted these outrages against humanity to con- tinue, therefore by it resolved by the citizens of Bessemer, Ala, in the mass meeting assembled:

 Upon the resignation of Mrs. Ella Leeper as principal of the Clarendon avenue school the school improvement association of the school feels very keenly that she will be missed in as- sisting them in their work Members of the association have compiled a short record of the work she has done in the public schools in appreciation of her cooperation with them in their efforts to help the school
 Mrs. Leeper's career as teacher in the public schools of Bessemer has been most unusual. in that she has never missed a day from sickness nor one time been tardy in the 23 years she has been connected with the schools. In 1896 she was employed by the board of education as teacher and subsequently, was made principal of the Clarendon avenue school. In 1903, when the city was almost bank rupt, and there was a great difficulty In keeping the schools running, she gladly sacrificed part of her scant monthly salary to assist the public fund for the schools.
 Her zeal and interest in the school has never abated, and she has been faithful and sincere in every respect. Her loyalty to her supervisors and to the cause of education has surpassed the usual record.
 The board of education and tho Bes- semer public schools may well be proud of the record made by Mrs. Leeper, and she has set in motion an Influence for citizenship that will be felt in future years
