That Double Daily Service Is Assured-Suc
 s~ cessful Missionaries


 Demopolis, Aug. 10.-(Special Corre- spondence. .)-All speculation concerning the double daily service from this place to Atlanta is at an end. We will get it. Furthermore, the schedule will be put on immediately, that is, about the 1st of the month. The new train will run from De- mopolis to Birmingham and then to At lanta. This information is authentic, having come from one in authority. It is said that this new service is put on for the convenience of the exposition travel, and that if it pays it will be continued ln- definitely. Superintendent Eoss has ap- pointed MT. Jim Coleman, recently the Southerns agent at Union,o#n, to the Meridian office, and Mr. E. L. Nonncn- macher of Faunsdale has been promoted to the Uniontown office. Both of these appointments are excellent. They could not have fallen upon worthicr men.
 Messrs. H. w. Hayden and J. w. Mar shah. the committee recently appointed bysthe Commercial and Industrial aeso- citation to interview Superintendent Fow- ler' of the Postal Telegraph service in reference to the running of their line into Demopols, returned last night from Bir- mingham very much elated over the suc- cess of their trip. MT. Fowler assured them he would strongly indorse the movement and he thought he would have the line in operation in about thirty-five days.
 Ex-Councilman w. H. Williams of Sel- ma an old Demopolis lad, spent few days with us this week. He came oyer looking for an investment for some of hissitife money. He did not give his plan to the public, but it is supposed that he is figuring on something big, for he has lots of capital and he docs not like for it to lie idle. He has offered the town through the Commercial association, a handsome town clock The association will meet next Tuesday to make proper arrangements for its reception. Billy never goes back on his old town and is always anxious to do something for its advancement.

CAME BACK WEDNESDAY.
Two Boys Find Themselves Behind
the Bars

Monday afternoon at 4 As o'clock, a
seventeen year old boy named Eugene
Dolson secured horse and buggy at
B. d. Pay & Sons livery barn, saying
that he wanted to drive to Hodapp's
mill and would be back by eight
o'clock. He did not return, and the
Messrs.a Pay have been on the look
out, and ..otficers have been notified.
Only the stable man was in the barn
when the boy secured the rig, and
knowing the boy, required no security
from him.
The rig was seen at 600 p. NJ. Mon
day, on the Mapleton road, with Dol
son and Chas. Chilson in the buggy
Hearing that the rig had been
stolen, warrant was gotten out for
the boys today, charging them with
grand larceny in the second degree.
Monday then boys drove 4 into
the barn and explained that they had
been out beyond St. Clair at a far,
mer's, but gave no satisfactory reason
for not returning before. They had
no money to pay the livery bill, and
were locked up in one of the cages at
the city hall until they could arrange
to raise the amount of the livery bill
and the costs that the sheriff haC
been to. This they are doing this af
ternoon with good prospects of sue
cess, and when the money is paiC
over the action against them will be
dropped.

!" LET THERE BE LIGHT. ;"
The Voters Declare in Favor of
municipal Control in
Every Ward.
The Water Bonds Have najori-
ty, but Fail of the Necessary
Two-ThirdS.
Majority of 245 for Lighting
Bonds in Total Vote
of 1927.
The Electric Light Bonds Carry
by Large rlajority.

AscWas stated Monday afternoon, a
light vote was polled in the city on
the two bond propositions, one to
issue $4,000 bonds to install a city
electric light plant, and the other to
issue $4,000 bonds to extend the water
mains. The total vote cast on the
electric light proposition was 1,O27,
and on water bonds go, showing the
greater interest in the lighting ques-
tiOn.
The returns were all counted by 1880
o'clock, the Fifth being the last ward
to report.
The result of the election is good
sized victory for the advocates of
municipal control of the city lighting
plant, the vote being more than three
to two in favor of the bonds, which
received majority of 245 votes.
The water bonds received a ma
jority of siXty-siX, but needed ma
jority of 324 in order to receive the
necessary two-thirds vote.
No work was done to secure the de.
feat of the lighting proposition, else
the majority might have been smaller
At it is, the will of the people has
been directly expressed in manner
unmistakable, and the council having
received such an endorsement will be
in a position to install an electric
lighting plant. That it will act
wisely and in business-like manner
all will now hope. .-
