COUNTY SCHOOL
 BOARD MEETING
Will Erect Houses for Schools and
 Teachers

At meeting of the County Board of
 Education yesterday the construction or a four-room tile school at Newcastle was authorized.
 The building will cost approximately
 a9000. The plans submitted by the county architect were accepted. He was instructed to advertise for bids. Con- struction will begin as soon as possible so the building will be ready for occu-
 pancy by the beginning of school in the fall.
 ! Resignations of Miss Marion Walker l and Miss Martha Armstrong, as nome demonstration agents, were accepted with regret. The board will name their suc- cessors at the meeting in June. | Miles Launius was appointed trustee of the Newcastle school. pr. Baker was authorized to advertise for bids on twenty-one transportation contracts to convey pupils to the various county schools during the coming term. Plans were adopted for the erection or cottage on the school grounds at At hliance in district 10-A to be used as home for the members of the faculty. It is sai1 to be practically impossible for the teachers to secure accommodations Tn this neighborhood This step was taken by the board so they could have place to live near the school. This house will be ready by the opening of the next
 school term.
 The petition of a number of citizens of Grants mill that new school pe erected in that vicinity was taken un- Lder advisement Minor repairs were au- thorized on numerous school buildings.

 Along with the other debris that was floating down the stream was long plank. Two newsboys selling their pa pers in the crowd saw an opportunity Wading out into the water, they cap tured the stray plank, and with 1t formed bridge from the sidewalk to the part of the street that was high and dry
 The crowd entered into the spirit Of the thing, particularly as the boys were courteous enough to let the ladies pass and most were. willing to pay a nickel for the privilege of passing the water dry shod. Not all, however
 One rather pompous person started out on the impromptu bridge, ignoring the cap of one of the boys which was held suggestive1y near.
 "It'n cost you a nickel, mister" one of the boys reminded him.
 You can't make me pay anything ne growled The boy had no time to argue. Business was lively and money plentiful. He gave the plank little jar and the pompous person sloshed over In the water, nearly knee-deep.

 IMMENSE CROWDS
Rev. George Tucker Is Preaching Every Night In Grandstand at
 Fairgrounds

The Rev. NJ. E. Wilson, preacher in charge of Fairview Methodist church, IS holdine A revival campaign at the Ala bama state fairgrounds.
 The Rev. George Tucker, former yard master for the Illinois Central railroad at Jackson, Tenn, is the evangelist. lie is entertaining large crowds each even ing at 72O D. m. in the grandstand. MT. Tucker is accompanied by his singer, Charles B. Wyatt, who is graduate at Moody Institute at Chicago.
 Services will be held each evening at t7:3o D. m. and on Sunday at Il o'clock in the morning and special service will be held at D. m. Sunday for the chil- dren.
 The entire western part of the city IS interested and never before in the nls- tory of this section of Birmin gham has such a large revival been held.
 MT. Tucker has been attacking the vices of the city, claiming that the pool rooms are incubators of sin and merely a pre- paratory school for the gambler.
 In opening his sermon last night on "The Twentieth Century Woman" MT. Tucker stated that he was going to kick the lid off hell and expose the modern dance, the shimny, the ticket toe' the bunny hug and the whole rotten crowd.'
 Mir. Tucker said he had had experience in the underworld of Chicago for SIX years, and owing to his eloquence at one moment he has his hearers in tears while the next a wave of laughter sweeps tho audience.
 Having been a railroad switchman and having worked his way up to general yard master, his railroad experiences are very entertaining and amusing.
 Mir Tucker urges the ministers of the city to come out and help in the meeting. He also urges the city commission ts come and hear him.

GEORGIA FARMER DID ! NOT EXPECT TO SEE HIS WIFE WELL AGAIN

all kinds of medicines and treatments without getting any benefit from them and 1 never expected to see her well woman again.
 T had read the statements in the papers about Tanlac and was convinced it would do her good. so I got bottle. When she saw what I had brought her she exclaimed: What. Another bottle of medicine? You are always making me take something or other, and they never do me bit of good.' However. she took it, and when she had finished the first bottle she asked me to get her another.
 .'Well, sir, before she had finished the second bottle she was we'll and strong enough tc do the family washing. as wen as the housework. and before she got through with the third she felt 50 well and energetic that she quit taking any more. That was four years ago. and she hasn't needed doctors or medicine from that day to this, until she had the flu recently. Her asthma left her entirely and she hasn't been troubled with it since; she goes cut in all weathers, but never has these coughing spells now. She eats well and digests her food without difficulty. has gained considerably in weight and has been like a different woman ever since After she had the flu short while ago she felt pretty weak. so she took Tanlac again and it very soon built her up so that she is now as well as ever. It's no wonder that we both think Tanlac is the greatest medi- cine on earth"

REPLACEMENT HAS
 NO PRICE BEARING
Dealers Have CO-Operated and Few Prosecutions
 Necessary
By AssoeIatso Prsss

Montgomery, May 21.-That the
 question of replacements of stocks does not figure in the fixing of fair
 prices and profit margins, was the con ciusion reached here today at a meet
 ing of fair price commissioners of four southeayern states, when the entire
 question of price fixing was thor oughly discussed.
 It was the opinion of commission
 CTS attending that the dealers at large have co-operated with them in
 their efforts to make proper adjust
 ments with but few exceptions and the necessity for prosecutions has been negligible, but vigorous and prompt when required.
 The federal department of justice was represented in the proceedings by James c. Weatherly, the conference being presided over by J. Lee Holio- way of Montgomery. with Lee Brock of Nashville, John A. Manget of At- | lanta and Frank Spain, Birmingham, commissioners In attendance. T. J.

STEEL AND IRON . INTERESTS URGE . READJUSTED RATE
Ask That Roads Be Re quired to Fix Rates At 25 Per Cent Above
 Those of 1918
By FRED H. GORMLEY
 Montgomery Bureau Tho Age Herald 22I.2 Eirst Na4IaaaI R..iIdi,

N@-e '"sA nauVnai bahN pu'us"s Montgomery, May 21.-(SpeciaD.-Steel and iron companies of the Birmingham district filed with the public sersice commission Friday a petition which in- wolves approximately s5,O0O0O0 annually
 to them. which they claim is being col 1ected unjustly by the railroads as ckfSges on transporting products used iE the making of steel and iron.
 |. The companies asked the commission, after hearing the case, to issue an order requiring the railroads to establish rates on coke, coal limestone and ore of 25 per cent more than the rates which ex- isted prior to June 25, 1918. when Direc- tor General McAdoo issued general or der increasing all rates 25 per cent. |. It is charged in the petition that the railroads, instead of increasing the rates
 on the four commodities 25 per cent, a much greater increase was made. The
 petition shows that the rate for a
 twenty -five-mile haul prior to June 25, 1918, was 9 cents on coke and 221a cents on ore, limestone and coal and that the railroads, instead of making 25 per cef1t lHCTedSe, lncTedSeu tHe rate OH ore anu F.coal 122 per cent, on coke 100 per cent and on limestone 7712 per cent.
 The importance of the petition is known when it is realized that 12,0o0, OW tons of the four commodities are moved in the Birmingham district annually, which, if the contention of the steel and iron companies be correct, the railroads are collecting approximately s5,O00,600 a yesx more than they should receive.
 {. It Twas pointed out by the public serv- ice commission Friday that it had never approved an increase of more than 70 per cent in the rates, but that as long as the railroads were under government control it had no authority to make any investigation or issue any orders.
 The case will be considered at the reg ular meeting June :. Steel and iron companies who are parties to the peti- tion are the Alabama Company, Gull States Steel and Iron Company, Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company, Re- public Iron and Steel Company and Shelby Iron Company of Birmingham. Woodstock Operating Corporation of An niston and Sheffield Iron Corporation of Sheffield.
 Railroads made defendants in the case are the Southern, Louisville x Nashville, Nashville, Chattanooga x St. Louis, Sea board Air Line, St. Louis & San Fran cisco, Northern Alabama, Birmingham Belt. Illinois Central, Atlanta, Birming- ham & Atlantic, Central of Georgia
