FOR CoNGREs S.

LaF3yette Sun.
 As will be seen from another column of the Sun, Mayor J. Thomas Hefiin of this place is announced as a candidate for con. gress from the Fifth district.
 MT. Heflln is a true blue democrat-one who has ever been loyal 10 his party. He took an active part in the campaign just closed, proclaiming true democratic doc urine from the hiiltops and valleys of Chambers county. He is 0 young, aggres- slve democrat, possessing an indomitable will and knows no such word as fail. He has twice been elected mayor of Lafayette and also holds the position of register in chancery. Both of these positions he has filled to the satisfaction of the public, and he is held in the highe st esteem by the peo- pie of this county. Mir. Hefiin is son of Dr. W. L. Hefin of Randolph and nephew of the late Hon. John T. Heflin, who won a state wide reputation as an eminent ju- rist. Mir. Hefiin is a native of Randolph county, and received his education at the Southern university and the Agricultural and Mechanical college. He is close student of history, and while at college he carried off many honors as a debater. He has, by persevering industry, forged to the front, and is recognized as representative young man in both church and state.
 Should Mir. He fin receive the nomina- ton and be elected we feel sure that he would ever be walchful of the interests of his constituents and reflect credit upon himself and the people whom he repre- sents. He will enter at once upon an active canvass of the district for the nomination.

THE PUBLIC SCH OoLS.
TO the Age-Herald: A

TO the ARe-hefalu:
 see by the published proceedings of the board of education that 1t is proposed to place a small tuition fee upon admissions to the public schools of the city. I think this is not only a mistaken policy, but am Of the opinion that the board is laboring under an erroneous impression of its powers.
 The act creating the board of education of Birmingham, approved February 16, 1855, know contained a clause or section, viz eight, that did confer such power. This was amended or, in effect, repealed by a later act, which in substance reads as fol- lows:
 'srhe board of education shall have power to charge in the high schools such incl dentals or other fees as may be deemed necessary for the proper conduct Of said high school, but no fee or charge of any description must be made in any of the schools of lower grade than the high school.n This seems to clearly settle that point.
 fees, it is the wrong policy to place burdens where the people are less able to bear them. In the present financial dilemma into which the city has been plunged by what might be termed cruel and regardless ex. travagance (that is putting itmildly) l think it would be a better policy to con- mence at the head to skin the carcass.
 I am of the opinion that s6000 can be saved by cut in the salary of superinten d. ent, principals, who do not teach, ana ln- structors of trAining classes and attaches about the high school.
 am of the opinion that the people would sacrifice, for time at least, the high school and training class, etc., etc., in order that the public schools of the city might be kept open. l do not think that the interests of the people, who are less able to pay for an education, should be sacrificed for the bent fit of training classes, high schools, physical culture and public shows, setc., etc.
 In conclusion 1 will say that am as good a friend of the public schools as can be found in Birmingham, but am for the schools for the masses first and the classes secondly.
 cut must be made, and made so the public schools can be open the regular school term. It can be done. Figures will be given if demanded, but will allow the board opportunity to honorably recede from its present position.

SOME CHANCES
In the. Officials of the Tennessee Com pany-Miners Resume Work at
 Blocton-Hopeful Outlook.

Several changes have been made by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com' pany since the settlement of the strike. MT. Jonas Moore, who has been superin- tendent at Pratt mines, has been promoted, and goes to Blocton, where he will here- after be in charge. MT. Moore will also be in charge of the Blue Creek mines at Adger, Johns and Sumter. His headquarters will be at Blocton. The Blocton and Blue Creek mines have heretofore been separate, there being superintendent for each prior to August 1, when Superintendent Thomas left Blocton, and was succeeded by Super intendent l.. w. Johns of the Blue Creek division.
 Mir. Erskine Ramsey succeeds MT. Moore as superintendent at Pratt mines. MT. Ramsey has for long time been engineer at Pratt's, and by his strict attention to duty and bis efficient service has won the confidence and esteem of the Tennessee of- fcials.
 HAVE GONE TO WORK.
 The miners at Blocton returned to work Thursday, and the old time activity is again noticeable there. The merchants who have let their stocks run very low since the inauguration of the strike, four months ago, have bought heavily the past few days, and all are feeling cheerful and confident over the outlook.
 The miners at Pratt mines have not yet returned to work 10 any great extent, but they are getting ready and will be at work within few days.
