poets to be away about two months.
The publication of the call for the

touring club, as published exclusively
yesterday in The Call. was the main
topic OF conversation among the en-
thusiasts yesterday. 1t was received
with many expressions of approval.
One of the Oldest members at the game
said:
going to be done in the runs and tours
proposition. What we want are short
runs that any one can take without
a lot of preparation. Something that
will not take weeks of planning before
starting. Do you know that there are
times when an owner wants some one
to think out trip for him, and then
again there are times when you want
to go where you can meet some of 1le
other 'cranks' and just talk automo-
bling until you have given vent to
all the ideas you have bottled up. You
can't do it around the garages or the
agencies. They are too busy to listen
to you and you don't dare tell 1t to
your wife or family. You have given
them all that they will stand. So a
fellow wants some place to go where
the other fellow is Just as anxious to
get into 'talkfest' as you are You
will come home feeling much better

feeling that you want to go fast? AS

WALKER COMMITTEE
 MAKES ELECTION PLANS
Report of Walker couoty's Financial Affairs Shows Healthy Condition.
 Other News of Jasper.

Jasper, August 17.-(Special)-T sub committee appointed by the chairman of the democratic executive committee of Walker county, met here yesterday and selected clerks and managers for the coming primary election on August 27 The committee was in- session several hours and it was learned that some mem bers of the committee were not very well pleased with the selection. There is certainly hard fight on in the coun- ty between the two factions of the dem ocratic party the indications being that the result will be close The friends of both J. A. Huggin and J. o. Long, lead ing candidates for sheriff are doing everything in their power for their can didates. It is generally agreed that the race lies between these two men, all though there are two other candidates in the race.
 The report of the condition of the treasury of Walker county as shown by pamphlet in the form of a supplement to the Mountain Eagle this week indicates that the condition Is a healthy one. The report was m de by Special Examiners J. M. Cranford and A. s. Preston and comprises term of thirteen months from February 1, 1905 to February 2S 1906. It showed that there was in the treasury on March l, this year, in the various funds nearly $14,0O0. The total outstanding in- debtedness as shown by this report is s50,o0O. This is considered very small when 1t is known that the annual tax valua- tion in the county Is nearly ss,0OO,OOO.
 The county registrars are spending the week in Jasper issuing certificates to all who have not heretofore been regis tered. It Is estimated by the board that by the time the books are closed on Saturday fully 800 new names will be added to the voting list in Walker coun- ty. This will give this county over $500 registered voters
 Prof w E. Turnipseed, principal of the Jasper graded school has just completed an enumeration of all children, black and white, in Jasper, who are within the school age, and finds that there are total of 591 of which 461 are white and 1SO are black. This would indicate that the coming session of the public schools will have a greater attendance than has ever been known. Last year the enroll ment in the Jasper graded school reached 445 and Professor Turnipseed confidently expects that this year the 800 mark will be reached. According to this enumeration the population of Jasper is somewhere near 250O. This is an increase 50 per cent within six years.
 An education rally is being held at Horse Creek tonight for the benefit of the local schools. The attendance is very good. Professor T. J. Lamar, county su- perintendent of education, from Jasper, was present and delivered an address. Su- perintendent McAdory of Jasper county also addressed the meeting and much enthusiasm was manifested.
