The following officials are to be elected

a Judge of the police court and eighteen
members, two from each ward CT the city

favor of placing the names of all of the
candidates for city offices, such as city
clerk, treasurer, tax collector. city engi-

past few years 1t has been customary
for the voters to nominate a chief of
police, and the nominee has been elected
in turn by the police commission.

The above remarkable number and
combination of well-known health restor-
ing properties tells plainly why this water
is such a specific for so many distresses.
We invite comparison as TO number and
combination of minerals with any water
on the market
This water is pumped up from deep
wells, blasted through a thick. solid layer

1t Is therefore safe from the usual con-
tamlnation through assures, well
known and feared I'm all limestone forma-
tion. 1t is not our policy to detract from
the merits of other waters. But we do be-
leve that the public should be frankly
and fully advised as TO whether these
other waters come from surface springs,
situated In marshy bottoms, or are sub
Jeet to overflow and drainage. or IL from
wells as are these wells situated in
limestone formation. The public has the
right to know these things and should
insist upon plain answers.
The many patrons of our hotel at In
gram Wells, near Ohatchle, Ala, will
testify as to the excellence and beneficial
effects of this water and of the great
care taken In keeping 1t free from all
possible surface contamination. We con-
fldently make the assertion that there is
no purer or more healthful water on the
market than Ingram Lithia Water. Try

Political Gossip.

An early municipal primary election in
birmingham is not probable. 1t is under
stood that canvass has been made of
the eighteen members of the city demo-
cratic executive committee and that a
majority are in favor of letting the mat
ter of the primary election go over until
February or March. The city committee
is the sole power in the premises. The
general municipal election takes place In
May.
When the municipal campaign opens
in earnest some interesting times are ex-
pected in political circles. At the last
municipal primary election there were but
two candidates in the field for mayor.
This time already a half dozen have an
nounced for the office with other possible
entries before the list closes.
The Last Primary.
Just a few more than 5000 votes were
cast at the last municipal primary but
1t is expected there will be something
like $500 votes polled this time. There are
nine wards in Birmingham and the Fifth
is the largest.
The following table is of interest, as 1t
shows the vote for mayor by wards at the
last city primary:
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1904-08-25
Street Should BE Repaired.

The city officials should certainly do
something to provide better protection at
the Eighteenth street railroad crossing
1t is a grade crossing and is a death
trap. The street should be repaired, side
walks constructed and a policeman and
other flagman put on duty to care for
the safety of pedestrians and drivers of
vehicles. The travel over Eighteenth
street is much heavier than 1t is at Twen-
tieth street, and yet better protection is
given up there.
My understanding is that Foreman
Bibb of the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road who was killed Monday night at
the crossing lost his life on account OF
the bad condition of the street. | believe
Bibb missed his footing in trying to board
a train and fell under the cars Several
other accidents not quite so serious have
occurred at the crossing recently and
there will be others If better protection
is not given"
Mr.. Leonard said that he had taken up
the matter with the city officials.

The Police Commission.

The terms of j. H. McCary, Sid b. Jones
and T. Henry Johnson, as members of
the police commission, will expire in
April. 1t Is not known whether or not
they will be candidates for reelection.
No names are mentioned as yet in con-
nection with the commission.
1t Is understood that Colonel j. j. Alt
man, who for number Of years has been
a member of the city council, will tender
his resignation as a member of that body
early in November, inasmuch as he Is the
democratic nominee for chancellor. The
voters of the Sixth are said to be In favor
of holding a primary to nominate Sue
cessor to Colonel Altman. Permission
for such action, however, will have to
be first obtained from the city council,
as the city charter provides that all va
cancies ia the city council shall be filled
by the members of that body. In case
the primary Is held in the Sixth ward,
arrangements will probably be made by
which the candidate receiving the highest
number of votes will also be declared the
nominee for the term Of two years COM
mencing on May ] of next year.
After the city council gives permission
for the primary to be held in the ward
the city executive committee will also
have to sanction 1t.

GRADE CROSSING
DANGEROUS PLACE
Better Protection Wanted at
Eighteenth Street
IMPROVEMENTS SUGGESTED
May Be Necessary to Erect viaduct.
Officials Appealed To-. Frank
Leonard Talked of Acct
dents at Crossing.

Better protection for pedestrians and
vehicles over the Eighteenth-street cross
ing is now being agltated, and. in fact,
it may be made one of the issues of the
coming city election. The matter has
been taken up already with the mayor
and with the police department, and it is
expected that some step will be taken
Immediately to improve the existing con-
ditions.
1t is said by many that the crossing at
Eighteenth street is by far the most dan
gerous one in the city. The traffic Is
much heavier there than across the rail-
roads at Twentieth street. although there
are no electric crossings running north
and south along Eighteenth. 1t is con-
tended by many citizens that the only So
luton to the problem is to erect a Via
duct over the tracks.

Nineteen Tracks.

There are nineteen tracks at Eight
zenith street and passenger and freight
trains as well as switch engines are pass
ing backward and forward at all times
of the day and night. A Waterman is
hands are full. The police department
has no officer on duty there to prevent
blockades or accidents. although 1t Is
said that several petitions from business
men in the vicinity of the crossing have
been sent to the department asking for
an officer. At Twentieth street a police
man is always on duty and traffic over
that crossing is seldom interrupted.
The street, too, at the Eighteenth-street
crossing is in bad condition ebert, or
brick or some other class of heavy pave
ment is badly needed In a number OF
places there are large holes in the street
| and the rails of the tracks are several
inches higher In several places than the
level OF the street. There is a sidewalk
constructed of cinders on the east side
of the crossing, but there is no walk at
all on the west side.
In this way pedestrians going in both
directions are compelled TO use the same
sidewalks, and at certain hours of the
day, serious accidents are often narrowly
averted. Near Powell avenue on Eigh-
teenth street there is about fifty feet of
artificial stone pavement. 1t is said that
this sidewalk is often obstructed by build
ing material machinery and other heavy
stuff.
The entire matter OF rendering better
/ protection at the crossing may be taken
up at the next meeting of the city coun-
| Gil. J. Frank Leonard whose place of
| business is at the corner of First avenue
and Eighteenth street said yesterday
