HIGDON WILL RUN
COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
 FINISHES WORK.
Declared Twenty Votes Were Illegal, Nineteen of Which Were Cast in Favor of Colonel
 HigdOn.

Birmingham, Oct. 6.-(Special)- The Jefferson County Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee completed its work today by declaring twenty votes cast in the last primary held to nominate candidate for Sheriff of the county illegally cast, nineteen of which were marked for Col. E l.. Higdon, and then adopted resolutions declaring Judge J. P. Stiles the nominee of the party for Sheriff of the county. A com mittee was appointed to name a cam paign committee.
 great howl has been raised and in- teresting times in political circles are looked for. The Democratic Commit tee which canvassed the votes of the primary declared Colonel Higdon the nominee by three majority two weeks ago. Judge Stiles entered contest claiming that a number of votes were illegal and he set forth to name a num- Der of men who had voted and did not have the right to. It is now un- derstood that Colonel Higdon will make the race anyway, claiming to be the nominee of the party. The contest of Judge Stiles was first answered with a motion to dismiss on the grounds that the committee which just held a meeting had no Jurisdiction. Strong attorneys, however, argued the matter and the committee decided
 
 Higdon's official representatives before the committee withdrew and with the exception of few members of the committee who were partial to his candidacy there was but little objection | to the proceedings. Tine office of Sher- if of Jefferson County is the most lu- crative in the State. the fees from the same amounting to between $25.000 and $40.000 per annum. It is believed that serious trouble Is likely to follow the action of the committee today.
 Judge J. F. Stiles. the nominee. is one of the best known men in Jeffer- son County He was for six years Pro- bate Judge of the county and prior to that time was clerk In the Probate Office Col. E. l.. Hgdon Is also very prominent. He is secretary of the Travellers Protective Association in Alabama, and was for some time Col onel of the 3rd Regiment. Alabama Ma tional Guard.

CRITICISE PAVING.
Mir. Hausman Calls Attention To MOnt-
 EOmery Street Work.

DeJalma s Hausman has written to the diffeent Aldermen calling their at tention to phase of the proposed work of paving Montgomery street.
 It is proposed to pave that thorough fare as far up as tSate street. which Is only q block from Goldthwaite street and MT. Hausnan. who states in his communication that he is acting on be- half of some objectors to the pavement calls attention to the fact that the street, If paved at all. should be paved to the top of the hill, at Five Points where Gnldthwaits street intersects it.
 The hill on Montgomery street is quite steep. Mir. Hausman points out, and should the work of improvement be stopped on the hillside much of the loose soil would be washed down upon the pavement during every rain storm practically nullifying the value of the work Indeed he expresses a doubt If the contractors are able to give a guar antee with a pavement extended to a point on the Hillside and not to the top of the hill at Five Points, as is required by tn" city ordinances.

New Yard. of M. nnd O.


 The work of tearing down the houses on the triangular block bought soma years ago by the late Capt. E.. A. Gra- ham for the Mobile and Ohio has been going on so rapidly that 1t is almost completed.
 This property embraces everything beginning from the triangle at the in tersection of Coosa, Jefferson and Tal- lapoosa Streets and the block between Tallapoosa and Jefferson Streets, and includes the block bounded by Court. Jefferson and Columbus Streets. It is one of the most valuable pieces of property in Montgomery and for a long time 1t was not known what disposi- tion the owners would make of it. As soon as the houses are all down, ma terlal out of the way and the ground graded, the Mobile and Ohio will build four bulk tracks through the property beginning a the triangle at Jefferson and Tallapoosa Streets and extendIng to the corner of South Perry and lief ferson Streets
 The four tracks will be some distance apart. two on each side of the prop erty, and in between them will be punt a paved roadway for the use of drays. At present the Roman Cotton Company occupies the old Alabama Warehouse on the corner of Jefferson and south Perry Streets. and as its lease holds for about one year the bulk tracks will for the present be terminated on the edge of the ware house property.
 Major k. F.. Steiner. local counsel or the Mobile and Ohio. saId yestcr- day that the property on either side of the proposed tracks will be leased to local industries.
 This work will be rushed as rapidly as possible and when the tracks ar, completed will greatly relieve the pres tht yards of the Mobile and Ohio on Inc corner of Moulton and TallApoosa streets. At present the yard is some times almost blocked and lots of th4 cars can then be unloaded and loa led on the new tracks al Jefferson and Y3l- lapoosa Streets.

l.. & N. Improvements.

But for the recent storm on the gulf coast and consequent damage to the tracks and roadbed of the Louis vile and Nashville, between F'1omaton and New Orleans. the Improvements in the South and North yards in North Montgomery would have been very nearly completed
 The appropriation of the Louisville and Nashville for the Montgomery
 yards was $50.0Oo and fourteen addi- tional tracks were to be put in. These tracks were to be started at a point
 near the cooperage factory and ex- | tend to the southern limits of the yard
 Additional yard room for a year or so past has been a matter of vital importance to the local Louisville
 and Nashville officials as frequently of late tho yards have been so ,on- gested and blocked with freight cars
 that the problem has developed into a serious question. Work had al | ready started on building the new tracks when the storm came and sev- | eral hundred men at work there were sent to the swamps near Mobile where they have ben hard at work ever since Now everything Is at work on the New Orleans division and 1t will be possibly two weeks before work can be resumed on the new tracks in the Montgomery yards. | Master Mechanic Clifford of the South and North shops said that about | 2 o'clock yesterday morning work | train with a steam shovel and outfit | left the yards here for the New Or leans division. Later in tho day, at 9 o'clock. another work train with a
 steam shovel and outfit left for the South and about noon another one
 went out. followed by another yes- terday afternoon. This made four big steam Shovcls to be sent to the New Orleans division yesterday and as for the past few days between fifty and sixty cars of slag and other road ma tcrial have been sent. there is no lack
 of material with which % repair the New Orleans division.
 Just as soon as all the work on the
 road between Mobile and New Orleans
 is completed work will be resumed on
 the South and North tracks in Mont
 gom"ry and when it Is completed the
 Louisville and Nashville will have ad-
 cquate yard room fin Montgomery.
