The Beat Will Return a Large Major
 ity for Jelks.

Camp Hill. Aug. 9.-(Special) )-Col s. w. John of Birmingham spoke about one hour here last night to an audience num- | bering from 26 to 32-the number varying at different times on account of some leaving during the progress of the speech and others coming in. The crowd was almost wholly composed of Jelks sup claimed to know, could only count five Johnston men, including two who can't take part in the primary because of hav- ing supported Milstead in the last elec- tion for Congress. and one office holding Republican.
 Colonel John failed to arouse any en- thusiasm and this in the great county of Tallapoosa that the eX-Governorb claims will give him a majority of over 1000.
 The speaker made a plea for all white men to take part in the coming primary, and stated that all they would have to do would be to sign the pledge laid down by the Executive Committee. His bid for the vote of the Republicans and disor- ganizers was quite evident. Colonel John but before he was through with his ad- dress plainly showed that he was now sorry for 1t. He also claimed that Gov ernor Jelks opposed the election of the Railroad Commission by the people. when it is well known that he has stated he will sign such law as soon as passed by the Legislature.
 voters registered. and less than dozen Johnston men can be found. There may be perhaps a few others who do not com init themselves. but the beat can be safely counted on to give Jelks and the new Constitution at least 100 majority. It is believed that Tallapoosa will go the same way by few hundred majority.

 There was no advertisement of the fact that the Council wanted to dispose of the waterworks, and no publicity was given 1t, except that 1t was pretty generally known here, for few days before the agreement was entered into, that the Council wanted to make some kindfof disposition of the works. No one. except Campbell. Wright and Conner and the normal school. was invited to make bid for the purchase, or lease, of the works.
 Tuskegee is good location for small iR connection with the waterworks and Campbell, Wright and Conner have stated that they will erect such factory and plant.
