BAPTIST CHURCH
WILL Be IMPROVED
EPISCOPAL PEOPLE OF EUFAULA

THE ERECTION OF A NEW
CHURCH BUILDING.

Eufaula, January 29.-(Special.)-The
members of the First Baptist church
here have decided to make some beau
tiful and elaborate improvements in their
already handsome edihce. The exterior
will undergo an important change in
the way of a new coat of paint on the
steeple and other wood work, and will
be embellished with marble steps to the
main entrance. The interior will be newly
frescoed and several handsome memorial
windows will be placed at proper inter-
walls on each side. The expenditure tyill
reach several thousand dollars and the
building when completed will be one of
the handsomest in this section of the
state.
The Rev. Bertram Brown, rector of St.
James Episcopal church here, also has
on foot plans for the erection of new
brick edifice that will be in keeping with
the spirit of progress that is character
izing tno city, and is meeting with every
encoura cement. The Rev. Mr.. Brown has
only had charge of the church for a
year and during that time he has Sc
cured a cash accumulation towards the
fund that will approximate close to 500.
with several thousand subscribed as soon
as dirt is broken. As soon as $1,000 in
cash can be secured it is his intention
to begin the work of construction.

MAY BARGE COAL
DOWN THE WARRIOR
j. H. HOADLEY BEHIND A MOVE
MENT TO FORM COMPANY FOR
THIS PuRPosE-DIscUssEs THE
MATTER WITH w. r. VANDlvER.

Montgomery. January 29.-(Special.) y
Whether or not a transportation COM
pany will be organized to barge coal
from a point near Tuscaloosa to Mont
gomery and Mobile. via the Warrior
and Alabama rivers, will be definitely
decided upon In the course of the next
few weeks when ]. II. Hoadley, the
multi-millionaire of New York and a
large owner of several Alabama interests,
has given his decision on the matter.
The proposition to manipulate such an
enterprise was suggested to w. f. Van
diver of this city, on his visit to Biz
mingham on the 18th of January. At that
time the Montgomerian stated that he
was too busy to look after interests of
such an organization in the proper man
ner and suggested that the proposition
be made to Mr.. Hoadley
"On the 22d of this month";" Mr.. Van
diver stated this morning. II was again
in Birmingham, and found Mr.. Hoadley
in conference with the Birmingham mine
owner who suggested the matter to me.
The results OF this conference l have
not heard. but think it will be favorably
acted upon.
1.-The people of Alabama are beginning
now to realize never before the i'm
portance or waterway Improvement. II
proper attention is given to the Alabama
river, to the Tennessee river, to the ait
tie Warrior and the Black Warrior. the
development OF these would do more
than any other one factor | know of
in reducing freight rates and In increas-
ing the commerce of the state; more
good than all the interstate commissions
and intrastate commerce commissions
there are in existence.
'If sufficient expenditure is put on
these rivers the tonnage rate will nee
essarily be made lower. I feel confident
that system OF rowboats and barges
on the Warrior river from the mining
regions to Montgomery and Mobile could
and would reduce the freight rates to at
least 40 cents per ton or even 371z cents"

Only One Candidate,

Huntsville, January 2s.-(special.) 1.-The
municipal election will be held in this
city in April and so far there is only
one outspoken candidate for mayor. Four
aldermen will be elected. The indications
are that the same old fight between the
saloon and anti-saloon interests will be
fought over again with added bitterness.
Having lost their fight in the county and
the establishment of a dispensary sys-
tenn being imminent, the anti-dispensary
crowd will make a strong fight to retain
an administration In the city that is an
tagonistic to the dispensing institution.

SITE IS SELECTED
FOR POSTOFFICE
New Building at GadSden VIII
Stand on Kyle Property
A LARGE ENHANCEMENT
Property Costing $4,000 a Year Ago Is
Sold for $1s,ooo-June Rogers
Appointed Joint
Agent.

Gadsden, January 29.--(SpeeiaL)-A tele-
gram received this afternoon from Con-
gresham John L. Burnett stated that
the site selected for the new postoffice
building for this city is the lot at the
southeast corner of Broad and Sixth
streets, known as the R. B. Kyle proper
ty.
There was quite spirited rivalry for
the location among the business men,
and while some are disappointed, the site
selected is considered by many to be one
of the best in the entire city. While It
is a little out of the way for many bust
ness houses. the city is growing rapidly
in that direction and it will be only a
question of "a few years until 1t will be
the business center of the city.
At the last session of congress $1,000
was appropriated for the purchase of II
location for the building and $4,000 for
the building proper.
The lot is 135xi5O feet and is well To-
Gated. Owing to the greatly crowded
condition of the present postoffice, it
is thought construction will be urged as
much as possible on the new build
ing.
Inspects Property.
CORTLAND Van Camp, of indianapolis,
a director of the Southern Steel company,
was in Gadsden today visiting the local
plants of that company. Mr.. VanCamp
became interested in the Southern Steel

merged.
o. R. Goldman and associates yesterday
sold a piece of acreage property west of
the Southern Steel company's local plant,
to a party of Selma capitalists, the con-
sderation being $4,000. This is one of
the most remarkable increases In value Of
the many handsome sales recently made
here, as the property sold cost Mr.. Gold
man and his associates only 5000 little
over a year ago. Thousands of dollars
are being invested in Gadsden property
by South Alabamians and many substan-
tial improvements are already under way
and several families have removed here
and many more are to follow.
