SIXTH WARD HAS
MANY CANDIDATES
POLITICAL SITUATION Is BEcoM-
ING QUITE INTEREsTlNG-CHAs.
J. MARTIN MAY OPPOSE JUDGE
FEAGlN.

The political situation in the Sixth
ward is becoming quite interesting. 1t is
understood that Col. J. j. Altman, one of
the aldermen from this ward will tender
his resignation early In November. The
voters in the Sixth ward are said to
be in favor of holding primary to nomi-
nfte a successor to Colonel Altman. The
term of office of Colonel Altman as an
alderman expires after the general mu-
nicipal election next May.
Ed L. Martin. Thomas c. Mcdonald,
Capt q. j. McCrossin, Andrew G. Cham
bers and Fred A. Fulgham are mentioned
as candidates for alderman from this
ward. John C. Forney is the other rep
resentative from the Sixth ward. He was
elected last May for term Of four years.
Mr. Forney Is a candidate for mayor, and
should he receive the nomination for this
office at the primary he will tender his
resignation as an alderman. In this case
two aldermen would have to be elected
from the Sixth ward
During the last week of the session of
the county board of registrars in Birm-
ingham a total of 400 voters of Birming
ham were registered. OF this number 100
were negroes 1t is believed that the num-
Der of votes cast at the coming primary
will be something like $780,
The indications are that Judge N. b.
Feagin will have some opposition in the
race for judge of the police court Charles
J. Martin will contest for the nomination.,
1t Is said. Mr.. Martin Is at present clerk
of the inferior court of Birmingham.
He has resided In Birmingham for many
years and Is quite popular He falls to
say positively, however, whether or not
he will make the race. 1t is a well-known
fact, however. that his friends are urg-
Ing upon him to announce.
This will be the first time the legal vot-
ers of Birmingham have chosen judge
of the police court Heretofore he has
been elected by the legislature.

The operators continue in an optimis-
Tic mood and express satisfaction over
me outlook. They say that their force
OF men IS gradually increasing and that
the output of coal is growing daily.
On the other hand the union officials
are equally as sanguine as to the final
result and say that assertions from the
Union ranks have been few and far be-
tween.
President Flynn yesterday said that he
deprecated the lawless acts Of Wednes-
day night and that whether the guilty
person be a member of the union or not
he should be severely dealth with. When
miner commits such an act he vio-
lates one of the laws of the union and
we will not protect him. Upon eonvic-
ton of such a crime a man, whether he
be union miner or not. should be given
the limit of the law in punishment" said
Mr.. Flynn
This morning the miners will hold
mass meeting at Warner, where mines Of
the Republic Iron and Steel company are
located and officials of the union will adj
dress them.
