 Buys Grocery Store
 It will be news to many Alabamians to know that coal mine located a mile and half west of Jasper, which caught fire about 20 years ago, is still burn ing. For a number of years clouds of smoke could be seen arising day and night on a high hill near the Jasper and McCollum mine road, but J. A. Buchanan, local coal operator, says that the smoke from the burning mines is arising quite distance from the road. This is the most costly fire that has ever occurred in Alabama. Mir. Buchanan estimates that half million tons of coal have been destroyed by the fire. The coal is said to belong to the Brilliant Coal company. All efforts to extinguish the fire were abandoned 20 years ago.

RIGGS OF CLEMSON
 CALLED BY DEATH
Famous College President. AnA'
 Educator Auburn Alunnus

Report of the death in washinxtun. D. C., Tuesday night of President ". NJ. Riggs of Clemson College, S c, was received with sadness by many Auburn alumni in Birmingham
 Dr. Riggs was a graduate of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and was often spoken of by the later Dr. Charles c. Thach of Auburn as the greatest product of the Alabama Poly technic institute.
 The growth of Clemson, many of its older graduates say, can be traced to the appointment of Dr. Rigxs as the institutions president Dr. Riggs had, after coming to Clemson from Auburn, held the chair of electrical engineering. Despite the arduous duties of his de- partment he made time to identify him self with the student body and won enthusiastic allegiance. He put Clem- son on the map in football with ser- eral good teams and after this nucleus was formed drew John Heisman from Auburn as football coach and soon thereafter Clemson began making foot ball history.
 Dr. Riggs organized the Clemson Glee club and did much to develop the social activity of the institution
 Within three years after Dr. Riggs took charge of the department of elcc- trical engineering at Clemson ths school began to and it hard to graduate the men taking this course because of the demand for them from great commercial and manufacturing electric companies.
 It was often said of Dr. Riggs at Clemson that he was far morn q mem Der of the student body than a member of the faculty, though he presided for years over that body.
 During the late world war peri0d the United States government called on Dr. Riggs, utilizing his great ability as a leader and organizer in war work and sending him to France to corre- late education work toward the close of hostilities.
 At Auburn as a student Bally" Riggs had played with distinction on the football team, had taken an active part in student activities and had be come a member of the Auburn faculty before going to Clemson.
 He was a prime mover in the or ganization of the Southern Intercolle- giate Athletic association and was in the forefront of the small group that stamped out the practice of hiring pro fessional players when many great teams were wrecked through the ugld athletic laws applied in 1907.
