SPECIAL ELECTION
VOTERS OF WARD WILL SELECT
NEW ALDERMEN TODAY.
Candidates Are j. Lee Holloway, DIR.
8. II. Saul and N. w. l.. ThOmp-
son-Will be Two Polling
Places.

The qualified voters OF Ward Seven,
the new sub division of the city will
today select two aldermen to represent
them in the City Council of Montgom-
cry. For the two places there are
three candidates. J. Lee Holloway and
DR.. S. H. Saul of Cloverdale and N. w.
L. Thompson of Highland Park.
The selection of their aldermen will
be done Indirectly by the voters OF the
new ward After the vote has been
taken and the result ascertained 1t will
be certified to the Central Council
which Is the party machinery for the
CITY and the Central Council will GER
tify the result of the special primary
to the City Council The City Coun-
citl will thereupon formally elect as
members the men named in the pri-
mary.
On account Of the territory covered
by the ward there will be two polling
at Cloverdale. Each polling place will
of course have a set of managers. The
Cloverdale people will vote in a vacant
house on Burton Avenue midway be-
tween Hull Street and the Carter Hill
Road. The managers of this box will
be w. T Sheehan, W. T. Hodges end
Lee Walker.
The Highland Park voters will cast
their ballots in Pearsons store. The
managers there will be c. M. Roemer
], M. Stuckey and L. A. Baarcke.
The Ward Seven campaign has been
brief but lively. The ward has been
most thoroughly canvassed by each of
the three candidates. Not only have
the candidates canvassed the ward, but
they have had several of their friends
interviewing the voters.
Mr.. Thompson. the Highland Park
candidate. is a well known salesman
His candidacy has been endorsed by a
mass meeting of Highland Park voters.
Mr.. Holloway is a prominent attorney.
He resides on Finley Avenue. Bellinger
Heights. DR.. Saul Is a successful
veterinary surgeon. His home is on
South McDonough Street.
The ward was made up of parts of
Beats 8. and II ana 1t was found
impossible to secure from the county
authorities an absolutely correct list OF
the voters of the new ward. The
managers will be furnished with lists
as nearly correct as possible. They
have been instructed by the Central
Council to require that each voter shall
before casting his vote say under oath
that he is a resident of the ward,
qualified voter and has paid his poll
tax before the first of last February.
Considerable interest is being taken
in the election and full vote is ex-
pected.

COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT.
City Fathers Will Have a Few Vexed
Questions Before Them

The City Council sea will be practi.
cally serene at the regular semi month
ly meeting of Montgomerys City
Fathers tonight in the Council cham
Der.
The wiring ordinance. which SO long
perturbed the peace of the Council has
been disposed of but a motion to re-
consider the action of the Council at
Its special meeting or some other
movement to revive the dead matter is
expected.
The principal feature OF interest will
be the election of two Aldermen from
Ward Z, the newly prescribed ward of
the annexed territory. The electors
OF this ward will today nominate their
representatives in a primary election
and the Council will Immediately con-
firm the nominations. There are three
candidates for the Two Offices, J. l..
Holloway, and DR.. S. H. Saul of Glover
dale and N. W. L. Thompson of High
land Park.
Another important matter that may
be reported and acted on at this meet
ing. is the ordinance of Aldermen
Gunter, providing sor the holding OF
an election in November to decide on
the Issuance Of $4,000 bonds for the
purpose Of establishing a system Of
underground wiring
The Committee on judiciary will
probably report on the claims for dam
ages of various property owners of Mort
Court street, who claim there property
was damaged in the transfer of Rail-
road street to the Western Ry. of
Alabama.
A mass of routine matter is expect
ed but little will come before the
Council to provoke an overly stormy
session.

Death Of Miss Busenia walton.

The appended notice of the death OF
Miss Eugenia Walton OF Augusta, Ca.
who has been a frequent visitor TO
MONTGOMERY is taken from The Au-
gusta (Ga.) Herald:
Bowling to the call Of an Allwtse
God and realizing that when the earth
and those around her lost her only that
she might enter that eternal reward
which her beautiful character and
magnetic life had made for her through
all hereafter, the relatives and friends
nevertheless feel deeply and sadly an
unfillable emptiness in their surround
ings, a charm, a sweet. uplifting, beau
tiful character lost to them until the
day OF gathering around that throne OF
thrones in the death of Eugeria Wal
ton. Sparkling and brimming but q
few short days ago with the happiness
Of a bright life, disseminating to those
within the circle around her a lasting
magnetism and feeling that the good
of the world is made better by the gift
God has given II in those such as she
was. the blow has fallen the harder,
because it came most unexpectedly
and so forcefuiiy bears out the words:
TN the midst OF life we stand in the
shadow Of death"
No Young woman In Augusta was
more highly esteemed than she: none
was more worthy Of esteem. Her
bright face. radiant with good nature
was a pleasure to look upon. Bright
of mind, gentle of manner. charitable
OF speech, she was worthy Of all the
love and admiration so lavishly be-
slowed upon her. The famous family
tree from which she sprang put forth
no flower of womanhood in all its
centuries more attractive ana more
charming than that which was snap
ped so suddenly from the parent stem
last night.
Her death called forth a wealth OF
love and sympathy seldom won in a
life as shopt as hers.
In the newspaper once the news
of death comes so frequently that II Is
accepted as are the other happenings
until we hear that so and so is dead
ana we remember that II was only yes
terday or few days ago that we saw
him or her In the full flush of life then
we are stunned.
The death OF Miss walton is espe-
cially sad and The Herald sincerely
sympathizes with the relatives and
friends Of this estImable young woman.
On Monday Miss Walton first de-
veloped her illness. an attack OF APP
pendicitis. Tuesday she was taken to
the city hospital ana on Wednesday
afternoon was subjected to surgical
treatment. She was thought to be
doing nicely and there appeared 70 be
every reason for the belief that she
would soon recover, but even then the
inquiries from large numbers bespoke

TO FILL VACANCY
COUNTY COMMITTEE WILL BE
CALLED TOGETHER SATURDAY.

Man to Take the Place of

The Democratic Executive Committee
Of Montgomery County will be called
to meet next Saturday for the purpose
Of filling the vacancy on the county
ticket caused by the death of Hon. w.
e. McGehee. nominee for county treas
urer. The call will in all probability
be issued today by Chairman A. H.
Arlington of the Committee.
In all probability the Committee will
decide that the new nominee shall be
named in a primary. The Committee
has before 1t two ways in which a
nominee may be selected If 1t so de-
cides the Committee can by a vote of
its members name a nominee, or II 1t
prefers 1t may call a primary. 1t is
believed that the majority of the men,
bers OF the Committee favor a pri-
mary The sentiment Of the Commit
tee 10 said to be in favor Of letting the
voters directly record their choice for
county treasurer as they did in APP
ril.
There is already interesting gossip
as to the campaign for county treas
didates has been compiled from the
gossip of the coming campaign.
a No one has yet authoritatively an
nounced that he was a candidate for
the vacant place on the ticket but Cos
sip has connected the names of the
following well known cltlzens OF
MONTGOMERY County with the vacancy.
Ex-Mayor e. B. Joseph, and w. C.
Holt OF the city. J. T. Cone of Beat Is,
D. Collier. Of Beat IA. G. H. shackle-
ford of Beat 10. Frank Mclean of Beat
10 and Ex-Treasurer J. J. Cochran, Of
Beat II. 1t is hardly probable that all
these gentlemen will be candidates
but II is thought that some of them
will be in the race 70 the end.
In conversation yesterday Chairman
Arlington intimated that he would
probably call the committee together
Saturday. The call will be sent out to
the committeeman today.
1t is believed that the primary will
be ordered for about October 1. The
primary law requires that 80 days not
Ice shall be given of a primary. The
primary can be hald as late as October
is, which would give the time required

be read with unusual interest by the

This address is unlike too many po-

of the slightest tinge OF sophistry. The
speaker appeals solely to the reason

not design to play upon the political
prejudices and other preconceptions Of
the people. There is no circumlocution
