MEETING FOR MONDAY NIGHT
Large Number of Aspirants for the Office of Mayor-This Has Been a Record Breaking Week With
 the Industrial Plants.

Ensley, December S.-A political meeting will be held In the Laboratory building on next Monday evening by the citizens of the town who do not belong to the Working Mems Municipal Club for the purpose of harmoniously cooperating with a commit tee which was appointed at the regular meeting of the Municipal Club on last Thursday evening to canvass the town with the view of getting the citizens to agree with them on several matters of Importance in connection with the coming election.
 The leading question that will likely be settled at this meeting will be whether or not the people desire that a primary cleo tion be held. It is thought that the result will be that white primary will be held before the coming election. There is, how ever, some opposition to this move, and 1t is a matter of speculation as to what decis- ion will be reached.
 A noticeable fact in connection with the coming election is that.-there are a large number of applicants for the office of May or and very few who are actively seeking places on the ticket for aldermen.
 While there are as yet only one or two candidates who have announced themselves for Mayor there are more than six who are being urged to enter the race. The names of R. J. Powell and c. J. Severin are al- ready before the people and among the names that are being frequently mentioned as probable candidates for Mayor are J. M. Perkins, ex-Mayor N. w. Scott, J. Cannady, E. Mackey and R. w. McRea. The an- nouncement of any of these gentlemen will not be a surplus.
 Work on the new by-product plant of the Semet-Solvay Company has progressed fha emil of the fact that the material Is coming in slowly. This company, like nearly all oth- CTS who have undertaken to construct new works of this magnitude is experiencing some difficulty in getting their supply of construction material as fast as Is required Particularly is this true in reference to their obtaining brick, more than one con tract having already been cancelled on ac- count of the failure on the part of the con- tractors to deliver the brick within the time specified.
 This week has been a record-breaker with nearly every of the plants here. Not only has the output been much heavier than at any time snce operations were be- gun, but shipments have been increasing wonderfully The railroads have been pushed all week to keep up with the de- mand for cars for loading purposes.
