FLORENCE.
The Progressive Spirit of the Town
 Continues Unabated

Florence. August 3O-(Special.) )-The pro- gressive spirit of Florence continues un- abated, much to the delight of its growing population. The present upbuilding of the town is not a boom, but only a remark ably steady, substantial growth.
 The statement is given out that contracts for the machinery and material for build ing the Ashcraft cotton mills have been closed, and the work of construction will commence at once. The mills will be of 5000 spindles and 100 looms.
 It is safe to say that there are not three vacant residences inside the corporate limits of Florence.

 The work of tearing down Lauderdale's s temple of justice Is progressing rapidly. and 1t will probably be removed within the next week.

FIGHT AMONG
 THE REPUBLICANS Vaughan Said to Have Deserted the Youngblood Forces. THE PARTY BADLY DIVIDED Ad Wimbs, the Greensboro Negro. is Making aGreat Effort to Become
 Chairman of the State Ex-
 ecutive Committee.
THE PARTY BADLY DIVIDED

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Montgomery, August 30.-CSpecial.) .)-The fight for supremacy within the republican ranks in Alabama goes merrily on. It seems that all factions are to be united on the question of busting Youngblood. Youngblood and Vaughan have been Gork- ing harmoniously together until within the last few months. The fight against the bosses seems to have become so strong that State Chairman Vaughan, for fear of being busted, has joined the anti-Young- blood forces. This combination is formed to prevent Ad. Wimbs, of Greensboro, the colored leader, from ascending to the office of state chairman.
 There Is no doubt but that a breach in the Vaughan Youngblood ranks has oc- cured. Vaughan has joined in with Cousin Allison" and Colonel Youngblood missed the. long-coveted prize of succeed ing Captain Nat Trimble as clerk of the northern district.
 Colonel Youngblood dies qhard in his attempt to replace Captain J. w. Dimmick as clerk of tine court for the middle dis trict. Hon. Robert Barbour has received a letter from MT. YoungIblood in which the statement is made that Major A. A. MaD- son, of Montgomery, is slated to succeed Captain Dimmiek as clerk of the court. But in the same letter MT. Young gb4ood says that he does not believe that Nab son has any show to receive the appoint ment. This confirms the story that Vaughan, Dimmick, Allison and Shelby have formed a combination to control the state so far as national appointments acc concerned.
 Major Mabson stated to a friend this morning that he had been offered Dim mick's place, but that he would not ac- cept it. It seems from Barbours letter that he has good reasons for declining.
 The fight for republican supremacy in Alabama grows more interesting every day.
