Hoped That Work on High
School Building May

On Wednesday of next week, the
14th Inst.—a week from today—bids
will he opened by County School Com
missioner I.. E. Welch for the erection
and completion of the high school
building for which an iBsue of $2B,000

to be issued by the county and the oth

been duly validated in the superior
court, and will he offered for sale as
soon as a contract for the election of
the building is awarded.
In response to advertisement, bids
were opened a month ago, but all
proved to be too high, and were re
jected. The plans and specifications
were returned to the architects, Bruce
& Evfrett, of Atlanta, who were re
quested to revise • them. This was
done, and new bidB were asked for.
The revised plans,, while not ma
terially changing the character of the
proposed building, call for less ex
pensive fixtures and materials than
did the original. The building will
still he one of the handsomest in this
part of the state, and will contain all
desirable conveniences. It will be
steam heated throughout, and will
probably meet Albany’s high school re
quirements for a good many years to
come.
In case the bids to he opened on
Wednesday, come within the appropri

work may begin at once.

Pekin, March 7.—The Chinese gov
ernment is greatly perturbed’ by the
reports of arititforeign movements
printed in the Amenipamand European
press, and particularly by the dis
patches announcing America’s prepar
ations for a military expedition in case
of need.
A long edict published in the Official
Gazette today, after referring to the
warlike reports, declares that they are
circulated by traitors, who wish to
separate China from her friends. The
edict reproves the Chinese students
for meddling with politics, and charges
the officials, high and low, to thor
oughly protect the lives and property
of foreigners, specifying the missions,

The Sanborn insurance map places
the population of Albany, exclusive of
East Albany, at 10,000. As there are
1,000 souls In the suburb just across
the river, the total population of the
community, as the insurance people
estimate it, is 11,000.
The Sanborn maps are lSBued for the
use of insurance agtents. There 1b one
in everj( agency in the city, and they
are referred to in writing all policies.
The Sanborn map of Albany just Is
sued is made after a survey made last
year. It shows ln’detail all the streets,
blocks and buildings of the city, with
exposures, etc.
The-Sanborn Map Company, of New
York, states that the population of
Albany is 10,000. It bases this esti
mate on the number Of buildings Its
canvassers found in the city, and util-,
izes other Information it haB for ar
riving at acqurate estimates.
It is probable that If a canvass were
to be made today by census enumer

ment concerning his election: "There

campaign and consent for me to do it
I My election means nothing hut, a fight
all along the line for a Democratic
House of Representatives. ''It bears
no relation to the political fortunes of
any one or the success of any faction.
Let us every one turn in now and
make the best fight in ns until next
November.”
CIVIL SERVICE COUP
FOR ATLANTA POLICE.
Special to The Herald.
Atlanta, Ga., March 7.—It developed
yesterday ,that the declaration of civil
service to be in effect' for the police
fortfe Monday was the climax of a
skillfully and cleverly executed coup
which was engineered by Alderman
James D. Key, the hitter enemy of
factionalism in the police department.
The idea prevails that an attempt may
he made to contest the legality of the
action of the police board in adopting
civil service. This action, if.it comes,
will he in council, or perhaps in the
courts. There are some, however, who
are of the opinion that the matter will,
he allowed to remain as it is.

Berlin, March 7. — Private confer

troversy that the foreign office regards

for policing Morocco, and that Fiance
accepts itnernatlonal control in prin
ciple. The specific forms of the guar,
antees remain to be settled.

FEARFUL AGAIN FOR
TI^E FRUIT CRO>.
But There’s No Excuse for Borrowing
Trouble Before Freeze Appears.^
An Albanian was borrowing trouble
this morning. He said:
"This weather looks bad to, me. The
fruit crop has just escaped destruction
by the Bkln of its teeth, and' -now,
Ct •
speaking from the standpoint of a
tried and true weather prophet, we are
going to have some more of the same
kind. What would a freeze, do flow,
do you suppose? It would simply
make wreck and ruin of the fruit crop
—that’B what. I don’t llkc/lt."
Such a gloomy fellow! There may
be another freeze coming, but • the
chances are all the othe$ way. I It
would take an unusually hard freeze-
now to do any severe damage. This
Is another case wheie it is a good idea
to “never trouble trouble until trouble
troubles you.”
