NOLEN ADDRESSES
 STUDENT SOCIETIES

Ashland. February .-(Special.j- Pupils of today who neglect oppor- tunities to improve themselves men tally and physically are going to subject the pupils of tomorrow to the same handicaps which they are work ing under" stated W. B. Nolen, presi- dent of the Farmers State bank of Ashland, in an address delivered to the student body of Clay County High school at joint meeting of the literary societies last Friday.
 MT. Nolen pointed out that the present lack of educational facili- ties. small teaching forces, cramped quarters and poor equipment could be traced back to the neglect of op- portunities of students of yesterday, and that the present student bodies of Alabama. by doing the same thing done by their fathers, were going to subject the ones to follow to the same hardships.
 The program was in honor of George Washington. Stories of his life and accomplishments were told by Hardy Rowland. Another feature of the program was a talk on the life and accomplishments of General Gorgas by Robert Rowland.

SCHOOL OFFICIALS
 MEET IN M0UlT0N

Moufton, February 26.-(Special.)- The regular meeting of the Lawrence county board of education on Friday was one of unsual importance to the welfare of the county schools. Evi- dence of the increased interest in the education of the rural sections was manifest in the large attendance of trustees and patrons from various parts of the county in the interest of their schools. especially in the build ing program proposed by the board. The board agreed to make a modest beginning In giving assistance to those communities that would erect three or more room buildings and for that purpose agreed to use $1.000 of the county bonus fund, an ap- rropriation to the county from the state to those counties having the 3-mill school tax.
 1t was also learned on that day that the state department of educa ton had apportioned to Lawrence county S4,S00 for extension of terms of the rural schools-an eight-day extension-and $500 in support of the salary of the elementary school SUI foervisor, a total of $500. Through this aid the county will be able to nun the schools full five months and al the same time give the teachers alvantage of a supervisor. Many of Fine schools will run six to nine
 months by means of local taxes and contributions. Those schools running fiveefnonths will close March 24.

Mobile, February 26.-tSpecial.)- The oldest landmark on the Alabama gulf coast soon will be only a mem ory, for the Indian shell mound at the mouth of Bayou Coden is being excavated and ground into chick feed for the northern market. A shell crusher and screen has been erected beside the pile of oyster shells that accumulated during centuries of In dian occupation and great gaps al- ready have been made In the mound which originally covered ten acres and stood 30 feet above the water at the highest point.
 The men yielding pick. shovel and barrow are paying little atten- tion to such material as might prove interesting to the anthropologist. though a few specimens have been preserved from the jaws of the crusher Deep in the mound piece of stone resembling marble, carved in the image of a pear was un- earthed: the mould of ancient burials was found and at one place the work men dug up human bones of much more recent origin; probably not more than 90 years.

 He was assured that Andalusia wanted the plant to reopen and that they would aid to this end but that 1t was their business and it was the hope of all hero that they would find it profitable to open the An dalusia plant at an early date.

 Pretty soon, they drew up with a jerk a t the pavement's edge, and both got out. Glyn paid the Kaffir boy, who drove off merrily, pleased with his tip.
 Camille stared up the long, straigh !. street that melted off into the high green hills that had great purple splatches on them.
 Our main thoroughfare." said Glyn, laughing. How does 1t com pare with Bond street and the Rue du Rivoli, eh?"
 Its fascinating" said Camille en- enthusiastically. starting to walk at a brisk pace. Then, suddenly turn ing round: "Oh! Do look at the pier with the stone balustrades. And the shimmering blue bayi How exquisite.
 They walked up Adderlye street and stopped at the flower market where Zulu and half-cast Kaffir women thrust great fragrant nose- gays in Camille's face, crying:
 "Vilets. one penny, missus, please! Lilies-a ticcy. missusr'
 "A 'ticcy is threepence." Glyn ex- plained.
 Camille's eyes widened. . But these are arum lilies, the sort one sees at fashionable weddings They're worth five shllings each, in London. D'you mean to say shell give me whole big bunch of them for threepence?
 Glyn smiled.
 You can gather hundreds of them for nothing,- all along the roadsides They're as plentiful here as clover is in England!"
 "And-and look at that" A tooth- less negress with a sharp eye to the main chance had added a great trail of maiden-hair fern to her bunch and brandished it as a snare for Camille
 "Ticcy, missusl All for ticcy!"

Indian She'll Mound At
 Coden Being Evacuated

one strange thing that a cross sec tion of the mound discloses, is a stratum of clay of kind not found on the coast levels. 1t is believed to have been brought from the, interior by the Indians and used by them in the making of pots which they used for steaming the oysters. Many frag- ments of pottery apparently of the same red clay, are found in the mound and places are observed throughout the entire mass , where successive fires burned the spell at descending intervals.
 Hunters and fishermen. members or the Coden Hunting and Fishing Club have been watching with interest the excavation of the mound and have rescued from destruction most of the relics of aboriginal occupation that have been saved With the crestion of this club another Coden landmark passed away; for the Rolstonl Hotel. famed for half century, has been turned over to the hunting and fish ing club, composed of sportsmen of Atlanta, Birmingham.

FLUCTUATIONS IN

New Crop Accounts ConSid- cred Satisfactory on the
 Whole
Bv Associated Press

New Orleans, February 26.-FHuc- tuations were unusually narrow in the cotton market this last week, the extreme range of prices being over only 50 to SS points. March traded as high as 17S7c at tis best and from that level fell to 16.60c, high prices being made on Thursday ana low prices on Friday. At the hign- est the trading months were 1S points under to 45 points over the close or the preceding week while at the low est they were B to 63 points under' Last prices were 19 points net higher to 2s points net lower old crops clos ing at net gains and new crops at net losses. March closed at 17.12c a pound. Tn the spot department middling gained 3s points closing at 17.13c a pound, which compared with 11.50c as the closing price this week a year ago.
 The strength of Liverpool and ths larger spot trading in that market, the bulges in wheat and stocks ana continued cheap money were the main influences for the weeks work ing for higher prices although on the closing session much was made of estimates of 250. .00o pieces of print cloth as the weeks sale in Fail River. Larger tenders against March contracts than expected, 11,5oo bales on first notice day in this market were the cause of temporary recess sions but a little later in the week the smaller March tenders than ex- pected in New York had the opposite e effnct. First notices in New York called for tho tender of only l,1VO bales. whereas expectations were Tor anywhere from 20, GOO to 5o,0eo bales Rumors that the March position Tn New York had been settled were a favorable influence late in the week.
