POLITICIANS FAIL
In THEIR PLANS
EFFORTS TO START MUNICIPAL
CAMPAIGN At PRATT CITY BE-
FORE HOLIDAYS ABANDONED.
PERSONAL AND GENERAL.

Pratt City, December 7.-(special1-The
efforts in some quarters to start the
municipal ball to rolling during the
present year seems to be a failure and
it is now almost certain that the city
democratic executive committee will not
meet until after Christmas to fix the
date of the municipal primary.
The probabilities are that the committee
will be called together early in jan
uary to provide for the primary which
will probably not be hello until early in
March
For the past several weeks the political
clans have been attempting to build the
fire under the political pot in order that
they might start the pot to boiling but
all efforts along this line seem to have
been given up. Consequently the renewal
of political activities Is not looked for
until next year.

EnsIex Rails superlor.

That the Ensley steel plant turns out
the best quality of rails in the country
Is being demonstrated every day. An
official of one of the leading railroads
in the south recently said "A few months
ago our road started to using the Ems
Icy rails. We have tried the rails on
the sharpest curves and found that they
stand the test better than any other.
All the departments of the steel plant
are operating on full time and the indi-
cations are that the records established
in October and November will be broken
In December In October the output was
the largest in the history of the plant
previous to that month. The output last
month was over 1000 tons in excess of
October.
