NEW CHARTER AOVOCAT TES
An Argument by A. S. Hallidie
in Favor of Its
Adoption.
A Resolution Designed to Secure
the Support of School.
teachers.

a meeting of the Citizens Charter Asso-
citation was held in Academy of Science
Hall last evening. The main feature of
the occasion was an address on the su ubject
of the charter by A. s. HalIldie. The
speaker reminded his hearers that the con-
solidation act under which the City was
once we'll governed had been divested of
its strength and potency by frequent
amendment. The tendency of amend
ment was to deprive the people of the
right OF local government and to place
power in the hands of spoilsmen. The
only way he could see for the taxpayers to
recover the right to govern themselves and
prevent the reign of spoilsmen was to
adopt the charter.
James D. Phelan, who had been presid-
ing, asked another to take the chair in
order to Introduce the following resoIu-
tions:
WHEREAS, Our law committee has given its
opinion that that article OF the proposed char
ter is unconstitutional and ineffective because
the general laws govern the schools and the
charter has no power to change said laws i;
therefore be it
Resolued, That we the Citizens Charter Asso-
citation do hereby gladly accept the opinion of
our law committee a true statement of law
and are convinced of its soundness; and be it
further
Resolued, That in case the courts do not up-
hold these views of the law and declare the
article in question unconstitutional we pledge
ourselves to preserve our organization and to
forthwith propose and work for an amend
ment TO the charter which will remedy beyond
doubt the objections complained of.
The resolutions were adopted.
A committee report was received giving
the Names of seventy-two dele2ates, rep
resentIng thirty-six organizations who
had lined up to support the charter.
The com mittee on press and publications
reported the distribution of q vast auan-
tity of charter literature and the eager de-
sire of the popuiace for more of the same
kind.

ANOTHER WEALTH PRODUCER
Incorporation of the Birming-
 ham Cotton Oil Co.
CAPITAL STOCK S1O0,000
Work on the Construction of the Plant to Man. ufacture All Cotton Seed Products to
 Begin Within Ten Days.

Another cotton seed oil mill for Bir- mingham, a big concern, well backed, that will be in operation with the begin ming of the cotton season.
 It is the Birmingham Cotton Oil com pany, incorporation articles for which were filed yesterday in the probate court.
 The ineorporators are Robert N. King, president of the Stillwel-Bierce and Smith-Vaille company, Dayton, O.; John W. Taylor, Atlanta; John R. O'Brien, Montgomery; w. N. Malone.
 The company will manufacture all cot ton seed oil products including refining oil, soap, compound lards, mineral oil, axle and car grease, fertilizer, etc. The capital stock is $100 0o0, in shares of $1000. Besides the incorporators, the stockhold- CTS include wealthy citizens of Cincin- nati, Dayton and Birmingham.
 The enterprise is not mere project on paper. Within ten days ground will be broken for the foundation of the plant. Today three members of the company chinery, and meanwhile plans are being drawn for the buildings. In fact every thing possible is being done to- expedite the early construction of what will be one or the most complete cotton seed oil mills in the south. The location of the plant will likely be settled today and might be announced in this issue but for the fact that several bids were under consideration yesterday evening without a decision having been reached

Circuit Court Adjourned St. Clair Will
 Come Up All Right in August.
 Ashville, April 27-(Special)-T spring term of circuit court closed here on Saturday, the 25th A great deal of business, both civil and criminal, was disposed of during the term.
 Everything is for Joe Johnston up this way. MT. Clarke had a strong following in St. Clair, especially in Ashvlle, many of our most influential democrats being his supporters, but the democracy of St. Clair will give their solid support to the "red-headed rooster'' from Jefferson.
 Misses Lila May Cobb and Otis Greene have just returned from Birmingham, where they had been for several days visiting friends.
 Hons. George F. Brewer and John w. 1nzer left this morning for Oneonta, where they go to attend the spring term of circuit court for Blount. Judge Brew CT will preside in the absence of Judge Bilbro.
 Our people are busily engaged pre- pairing for the May picnic at St. Clair Springs on Saturday next. For more than twenty years the people of St. Clair and adjoining counties have met at this place on the first Saturday in May The occasion each year grows in interest, and the approaching one promises to sur pass anything that we have had for many years past.
