His Record.

The following items relating
to the career E. Woodward, who
is seeking republican nomination
for the office OF county Judge,
bear witness to the confidence
which the people repose in him:
He was elected president of
the council of the City of Cor
wallis June 8, 1896, and was elect
ed mayor of the city by the coun-
Gil February s, 1897, on the
death of Col. John Kelsay. In
May following he was reelected
mayor by the people, which
position he had until June Il,
1898, when, having been elected
county judge, he thought it
necessary for him to resign bis
mayoralty as questions might
arise between the city and county
that would embarrass his freedom
to act on behalf of the county.
During his administration the
city Indebtedness was reduced
nearly one-tourth. He is now
before the people and will un-
doubtedly receive a satisfactory
number of votes.

The Man for Commissioner.

George w. Smith, through the stror g
solicitation of his friends in Corvallis
and the country, has become a candi-
dste for county commissioner. No better
man can be found in our county. Sue
cessful in business, having the utmost
confidence of his friends. fearless OF
action, and with every interest of our
county at heart, especially makes him
an ideal candidate.
If Mr.. Smith is nominated no one will
ever have to apologize for his official
acts. He stands on his own good judg,
ment, He seeks the nomination on his
merits as man, not on the dement's of
any opponent.
Ge1rge Smith is known by every citi-
zen of our county as a man who can be
trusted. He is opposed to any act which
will in any way be against the best in :.
terests of all citizens.

CHURCHES ABOUT TO SUE

a nuisance for a long time. When our
building at tae corner of Sixth avenue
and Twenty-second street, the Idlewild
car passed Oh the Sixth avenue side of
the church. The Idlewild car was a light
one. and did not disturb the services.
Furthermore, the church had a large por-
ton of its congregation in Norwood and
other places reached by the Idlewld line
This was decided advantage. But no
sooner than our church was completed,
the Birmingham Railway Light and
Power company went to the expense. for
no apparent reason, to change the Idle
nue. and the Gate City line to pass along
Sixth avenue. The heavy cars of the SUI
burban line were seen at once to be
a disadvantage and efforts were made to
have the lines changed to their former
routes.
1.-The First Baptist church has practi-
oally no members on the Gate City line.
The Idlewild line was not a nuisance
When we had the new church building
completed. the railway company so
changed the routes of its cars as to de-
crease the value of our property and sub
ject us to a nuisance. Besides the suit
for damages, we will bring u suit for
abatement"

HEAVY EXPLOSION
KILLED ONE MAN
TWO ALSO INJURED BY BLOWING
UP OF POWDER MAGAZINE AT
NORTH BIRMINGHAM LIME
STONE QUARRY.

One man killed and two badly injured,
is the result of the blowing up Of the
powder magazine of the Sloss-Sheffield
Steel and Iron company at their limestone
quarry in North Birmingham yesterday
afternoon at 5:15 o'clock.
Wesley Campbell a negro laborer, was
killed and another negro. named Good
low, was seriously injured about the head
and perhaps internally.
j. w Goodwin, the bookkeeper of the
company at the quarry, was severely
bruised about the head 1t is thought that
both of the injured men will recover.
The cause of the explosion will probably
never be known as the magazine was alb
solutely demolished and the office. building
about twenty-five feet away. was reduced
to kindling wood A ragged hole about
fifteen feet deep marks the site of the
magazine, and all the windows in the
power house across the quarry are SILVER
ed A months supply of explosives, con-
sisting of thirty cases of dynamite and
several kegs of black powder had just
been laid in yesterday and this accounts
for the magnitude of the force of the
explosion.
At the time of the accident, the negro
killed was either in or beside the maya
zine and the other negro was sitting on
the porch in front of the office. Mr.. God
win was inside the office. and was stoop-
ing down at the safe. He believes that
his escape from death was owing to his
low position and the protection afforded
by the iron safe.
The detonaton and reverberation
startled many people, and with the menu
DRY of the earthquake fresh in their minds
they rushed from their homes and places
of business to discover the cause of the
explosion. Windows were shattered in the
city hall and in numerous stores and
dwellings, while chimneys were shaken
down in several places number of es-
Establishments were compelled to set guards
and weary proprietors and clerks kept
vigis through the long night over stocks.
A peculiar Incident IS related IN con-
nection with the occurrence. 1t Is said that
within an hour OF being hurt. Mr. Goodwin
had taken ont an accident policy in one
of the large insurance companies.
