Anniston June S.-(Specal)--'rhe sil- yer men had a rally in the Noble Street theater here.this afternoon, and were ad- dressed by Percy Clark of Selma and Hon. J. H. Bankhead of Fayette. The audience numbered between 150 and POO people. and comprised not only both sill yer and gold standard democrats. but many populists and republicans. In view of the fact that the meeting had been advertised and talked of for week, the attendance was not even as large as Incorporation expected it to be. MT. Clark spoke for half an hour, and was followed by MT. Bankhead in two hours speech, advocating the independ- ent, free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1. After the addresses the I3i- metallic Club of Calhoun county was formed, with Capt. James Crook of Jack sonville as president and Archibald Hen derson of this city as secretary and treasurer. A membership of seventy was secured. A committee was appoint ed to select delegates to the Memphis free silver convention
 Several changes have occurred in Southern railway circles here. R. E. Smith, who has been track supervisor over about 103 miles of the old Georgia Pacific, has been promoted to the posi- tion of supervisor of bridges and build ings on the old East Tennessee, Vir- ginia and Georgia, between Rome and Meridian and branches, total distance of 405 miles, with offices and headquar- ters here instead of in Selma. B. B. Atwood, roadmaster over the same ter ritory, has moved his headquarters and family from Selma to Anniston. J. w. Smith, Supervisor R. E. Smiths clerk, has also moved his family from Selma to this city J. l.. Hunnicutt of Talla- poosa succeeds R. E. Smith as track supervisor, and will move his family from that city to Anniston in a few days. By these changes an Anniston man gets merited promotion and Anniston gains three good families.
