ONE WORKING DAY
 REMAINS ID FIGHT State and County Election Comes Next Tuesday FIGHT HAS BEEN BITTER shrievaIty Race in Jefferson County Has Been One of the Most
 Sensational in countys
 History.

One more working day remains in, per haps, the most bitterly fought political campaign in the history of Jefferson county. The general election will be held next Tuesday. and everybody feels glad
 that the contest is nearing the close
 The people have well-nigh lost sight of
 everything in Jefferson county outside of the race for sheriff, which has been
 long and bitter. Of course. that is the
 only real contest before the people in
 the election, but business mas been for
 gotten and neglected in the excitement
 attending the contest.
 Men in all lines of business complain of
 lack of even normal activity and some
 lines have actually suffered from neglect
 Real estate and the building trades have especially felt the bad effects of the po- litical disturbance and all classes rejoice that the matter is soon to be decided and
 the opportunity given for the resumption of business.
 Judge J. P. Stiles and Col. D. L. Hig- don, the opposing candidates for sheriff of Jefferson county, have waged a warm campaign, and have been ably supported
 by some of the best campaigners in the county Many meetings have been held in almost every community in the county and some of the leading politicians of the state have gone before the people to discuss the issues of the campaign Interest Is Great. Interest has been great for several
 weeks, and 1t is claimed by friends of ! both candidates that the vote next Tues day will be the largest ever cast in the county
 While the republicans and the socialists | have tickets in the field for state officers, the democrats have no fear whatever of , the result. In several counties, and in one or two senatorial districts the repub- licans are making a strong fight for local offices, and claim chance of winning some of them, but the democrats have not been asleep and feel confident that
 not one place will be lost The repub-
 licans are split into two factions. one
 headed by Chairman J. o. Thompson of
 the republican state executive committee also claims the position of state chair
 man by virtue of his election at a mass convention of members of the party held in Birmingham some weeks ago. The ss-convention nominated a state ticket. | This ticket is the only one in the field,
 but is being ignored by the Thompson faction.

Lanaston,s Statement.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 I wish to say that the affidavit pub lished in last Sundays Age-Herald with my name attached. is not true copy Of the affidavit signed by himself, Jones and Hogg, and that the affidavit, as published, does a grave injustice to Mir Robert N. Bell and Judge Stiles. I will further add that Mir. Peevey paid Frank Jones $10 and Ben Hogg $1O in my presence, and paid me $15. MT. Peevey further gave us his word of honor that the affidavit we really made would not be used without our consent, and he kept his word, for the affidavit that appeared in Flynn S artcle-ars ,,-t at Flynn never saw was not the aln,-stt signed by Jones, Hogg and myself.

The Queen and Crescent has just re- ceived two new cafe cars to be operated on it's fast trains Nos. l, g. and l. One of these cars has been named "Birming- ham, and it will serve as an additional advertisement for this city.
 They are considered the most elaborate and up to date cars of this class that have ever been turned out. They are a combination of dining, parlor and observa- ton cars with an observation platform.
 These cars are 80 feet in length and 9 feet 10 inches wide and about 15 feet high in the center. The interior Is of richly inlaid with mahogany. The interior ob- servaton has three large plate glass win dows with ventilators of handsome orna- mental glass. This end of the car con- tains ten cane chairs with green Rus sian leather seats and backs, and a hand some couch. The dining section of these cars will have a seating capacity of 24 The kitchen is of the latest design for quick and convenient service. The car is laid throughout with green Brussels car pet lighted with electricity and contains three ceiling fues In addition to all this. there is a mems smoking room fitted out in Russian leather seats and also the necessary toilets and other conveniences.
 All the machinists who went a strike in the Southern railway shops last month. will return to work tomorrow according to the agreement entered into between the president of the union and Samuel Spen- cer president of the Southern railway.
 There are between so and 90 of the strk- ing machinists in Birmingham. and the head of the local union has received word from the president of the national organ ization in regard to the settlement. The Southern railway officials are expecting official notification of the result at any time.
 It is probable that the Southern will take care of all the machinists who were imported to take the places of the strikers. As many men as can be had are needed in the various shops of the South ern, and it is therefore possible for the road to care for the men who were im- ported recently.

 ham for the Frisco
 Railroad.
OTHER RAILROAD NEWS

A. B. Freeman has rendered his resigna- ton as travelling passenger agent of the Queen and Crescent route in Birmingham. Hugh r. Latimer travelling passenger agent at Knoxville, will probably sue ceed him and Van Ostrand, city pas senger agent in Birmingham, will prob ably succeed Mr. Latimer at Knoxville. It is not known yet who will succeed MT Van Ostrand.
 Mir. Freeman will go into the eoea-cola bottling business in New Orleans, having purchased an interest in the plant in that city. He will be associated with d mum Der of Chattanooga men.
 The Queen and Crescent changes are eff fective November b, and at that time MT. Latimer will probably take charge of the local office. He is well known In Brming- here. He was formerly city passenger agent in the local Queen and Crescent office, and there was no more popular pas senger man in the city. Over year ago he was appointed travelling passenger agent at Knoxville, and has made an enviable reputation for himself there.
 Mir Freeman has been with the Queen and Crescent in Birmingham for several years. He was formerly connected with the Southern railway at Rome, which is his home. Since he has been in Brming- ham he has shown a steady increase in business every month in the passenger de- pertinent, and the business now is nearly five times what it was when he came here. He is considered one of the most energetic and competent young passenger men in the south He has any number of friends among the railroad men.
 Mir Van Ostrand has been in Brming- ham since MT. Latimer was promoted. He came here from Chattanooga, where he was in the office of J. C. Conn., division passenger agent

Hand Crushed.

Maurice J. Plasse met with terri
BILE accident at the Zeila mine last
Tuesday. He is employed to attend
to supplying the fuel oil tor the fur
mace, at the hoist. The machinery
was not in motion at the time, as the
hosting frame is undergoing repairs.
Plasse was working around the engine
however, and went to start it in
motion for some purpose. In doing
so, his foot slipped, and his right
hand was caught in the machinery.
1t was terribly crushed. Had the
machinery been going at it's usual
speed, 1T would have taken his hand
off, and probably killed him instant
ly. AS 1t was he was whirled round
once. The hand was attended to by
DR.. Endicott. Whether the mem ber
can be saved is yet undetermined.
Mr.. Plasse is a married man, living
near Butte City. He was taken to his
brother in-law's, Mr.. Mello, in jack
son after the injury was dressed, to
remain that night in case of develop
ments requiring immediate surgical
attention. The patient is getting
along as we'll as could be expected.

At the |. and E. Depot.

A representative of the Ledger
visited the depot of the lone and
Eastern railroad at Martell's the fore
part of the week. A force of about
twenty section hands we're at work
balIasting the track with material
brought from the nejghborhood of
lone. In the first place some of the
dirt from near the track was used,
but this has proved very unsatisfact-
ory, and is being replaced with fine
gravel from the valley which packs
hard, preserves the track timbers, and
sheds the water nicely. The quantity
of mud around the depot, considering
the small amount of rainfall is some
thing amazing. Drain pipes are being
placed in position to carry off the
surface water, but mud is every
where, and the heavy teams are cutt-
ing up the roads terribly. With
anything like hard winter, it will be
almost impossible to get in or out
with heavy load. Of course, all
this will be remedied in time, with
the expenditure of money is suitable
material and drainage. The public
road is already in deplorabIe state,
caused by poor road material being
used-rock from the mines that with
a little moisture is converted into
mud. 1t is surprising that such a
spot was selected as railroad ter
minus, even temporarily. That local
ity was always bad roadway.
