TWO NOMINATIONS
MADE IN THE FIFTH
CHAIRMAN MALLORY RULES
THAT CANDIDATES MUST AN.
NoUNcE FOR UNExPlRED AND
REGULAR TERMS.

Montgomery, March %. Especial. 1.-The
announcement is authorized by State
Chairman Mallory that two nominations
are to be made in the fifth district for
congressman in the primaries of April
II. In other words nominations for both
the unexpired term OF Congressman
Thompson and the regular term beginning
March 4, 1905. are to be made.
The position is assumed in official cir
eles here that the call of an extra or
special election by the governor is not
necessary prior to a party nominating
convention, as such convention has moth
ing to do with the limitation Of candidates
in such an election.
There is nothing positive in the Fifth
district condition yet. Candidates are
expected to begin certifying their pur-
poses with the state chairman tomorrow,
which by some is considered as the last
day. Others figure that candidates may
be certified up to next Mondy night and
come within the fifteen days prescribed
by the statues.

COMPANIES CONSOLIDATE.
Wylam Firms Will Soon Unite and Ex-
tend Operations.

Wylam. March Especial. 1.-THE Wy
lam Mercantile company and the Tyler
Mercantile company will soon unite their
interests under the firm name of the Con-
solidated Mercantile company. Both firms
are well and favorably known in the Bir-
rningham district and both have for sew
eral years conducted mercantile business
with great success.
The Consolidated Mercantile company
will start business with paid UP capital
stock of $1,000. It's affairs will be man
aged by the officers of the affiliated COM
panies, W. A. Spencer and w. ]. Stacey
of the Wylam Mercantile company, and
w. G. Tyler and j. L. Tyler of the
Tyler Mercantile company. Several infiu
entail men in this district will take stock
in the new company. 1t is the purpose of
the new company to open stores at va
rious points. The members of the new
company who have for several years been
acquainted and often associated in one
way or another, feel confident that they
can serve the public more acceptably than
they did as separate establishments.

PLAN TO CONTINUE
WORK ON RIVERS
CONVENTION CALLED TO MEET
IN TUSCALOOSA TO FURTHER
IMPROVEMENTS ON THE WAR
RloR AND ToMBlGBEE.

Tuscaloosa. March (Special.)-The
following call has been issued for a meet
ing of the rivers and harbors improve
ment convention at Tuscaloosa on April
a. 1904:
A meeting of the rivers and harbors inn
provement convention and all those who
are interested in the improvement of the
Black Warrior and Tombigbee rivers is
hereby called to meet at Tuscaloosa, on
Monday, the 4th day of April, 1904 at
p. m.
The object of this meeting is to urge
the speedy completion of the work of
opening the Black Warrior and Tombig-
bee rivers from Mulberry and Locust
Forks to Mobile, Ala, and to memorial
ize congress to grant sufficient appro-
priations for this purpose in the pending
rivers and harbors bill.
One million two hundred thousand dol
lars is needed to complete the work be-
low Demopolis before the work already
done will be of much value this amount
will open the river from Mobile to the
lower edge of the coal fields above Tus-
caloosa. In addition to this about two
and one half million dollars is needed
to extend the work into the heart of
the coal fields opposite Birmingham
1t Is important to urge upon congress
the necessity of providing in the next
rivers and harbors bill for putting all
of this work under contract at once.
All persons interested in this movement
are cordially invited to attend this con-
vention. and all cities and towns, boards
of trade and commercial and industrial
associations within the territory to be ,af-
fected are requested to send delegates.
