VOICE OF PEOPLE
 HAS SAID BANKHEAD
REPRESENTATIVE SMITH OF FRANKLIN SAYS LEGISLATURE IS MORALLY BOUND BY ACTION OF THE PRIMARY.

Russellville, Jurs 22.-(special. )-When asked for his views as to the election by the legislature of a successor to Sem ator Morgan. Ben II. Smith, Franklin county's representative, said:
 T consider that the duty of representa- tives in the legislature is to execute the wlil of the people they represent. In no case should a representative body use the power conferred on 1t in opposition to the wishes of it's people The body that would do so is not worthy of the confidence reposed in 1t. The people of Alabama have spoken. They spoke for John H Bankhead. and did it deeisively. Were they allowed to speak again they would give him q more overwhelming majority than before. I consider the leg islature morally bound by the action of the primary and believe 1t will give the senatorship to Bankhead with but few dissenting votes."

Advertiser Bureau,

Selma. Aug. F.
 The indications now are that the work upon the construction of the United States building in Selma will be started within the next few months. This is believed to be the program from letter which has been received by Congressman U. B. Craig. from J. K. Taylor, supervising architect of the treasury department, and which is an answer to letter which Congressman Craig sent to the treasury department during the early part of the month.
 The letter from MT Taylor is tc the effect that the bids for thhe construc- ton of the government building in ing the present month. Very probably have been advertised for and have been opened 1t is thought that the ac- tual construction will be soon started
 The actual work upon the govern ment building in this city will be well comed by every resident of Selma. Some months ago the government pur- chased a lot for the building at the corner of Lauderdale and Alabama streets just across from the court house and within block of the busi- ness part of the city.
 The drawing for the building shows a very nice structure. It will be three stories high. The ground floor will be used for the post office, while the two upper stories win be used for the federal court and other purposes. When completed the building will cost the government about $150,000 this amount having been appropriated for its construction.
