HELM GETS High School.
The Cleburne county high school has
been located at Hehin. The other place
applying was Rantburn. Buildings worth
5000 at least are to be erected. Helm
is on tine Southern railway between Bir-
ming ham and Atlanta.
Several rail lines have made answer to
the petition of the Alabama railroad COM
mission to the interstate commerce COM
mission for an adjustment of the COM
pressed rate on cotton. However, the only
ones in so far are the participating lines,
none of the initial carriers being heard
from.
After a good Christmas at home Gov
ernor Conner is at his desk again. He
will not talk of the action he will take
in case there is a fight made on the pro-

bills that are now on the statute books.

THIRD THE CHARM.

q y : IL j
Fairmont Is to be most heartily
sympathized with in the loss. for a
second time, Of the partly-completed
bridge that is to span the Mononga
hela from Fatrmont proper to the old
town of Palantinez--a structure that is
badly needed at this time. The bridge
company, we understand. however
has lost but about sixteen thousand
dollars ull told in the sweeping away
of false work and iron work upon two
occasions, and not anything like the
amount q, fittyf oaatxtys thogsa ptl dol;
lars. as stated by some newspapers.

E There seems danger that the Re.
publican executive committee will
have to play too important a part In
the State convention ut the meeting
ut Charleston In July. When con.
tests arise they. have to be settled.
but 1t. is unfortunate that the, State
committee will have to pass on the
seating of so many delegates. When
such is the case the committee in
n measure makes the nomination for
Governor and those who lose are moro
likely to get sore over the result.
What a pity we do not have an effec-
tive State primary election law. The
matter Of who shall be the candidates
could then be settled by the people
themselves all at one time and there
would be no chance for contested della
cations. Other candidates besides
those for Governor could get some rec.
ignition also under such conditions.

1t is hard to keep a Democrat from
from showing his yellow streak. When
everybody else seems to be sorry
for. the men who are building the
bridge here on account Of the second
accident to their work. the Democratic
morning paper falls to abusing thu,
contractors and members of the coun.
ty court. trying. of course. as It al
ways does, to find something out Of
which. to make political capital. 1. But
we think Its attack on the county
court and the, bridge men will not
do! even the Democratic party any
good. The contract with the firm
building the bridge was drawn by
the Democratic Prosecuting Attorney.
Mr.. Scott C. Lowe. in his official CO.
pacity as attorney for the county
court, and it was approved by two
other men formerly active in Demo.
cratic councils, Ex-Governor A. B.
Fleming and Mr.. Charles Powell, who
represented the Fairmont and Clarks.
burg Traction Company. We. be-
lieve the people will frown upon thu
unjust attack OF the Times on the men
who are doing the best they can to
build the new bridge in Fairmont.

Whisky in Demand.

Kentucky whisky is in such strong
demand now that all the distilleries in
and around Frankfort are away behind
with their orders and are all running
now at full blast. The demand for Ken
lucky whiksy, which will be bottled in
bond, is larger.tan it has been in years.
All the distilleries say that the demand
is almost unprec 4dented and they are
having their hands full getting out The
orders. The Christmas season is in
part responsible for the demand, but
the distillers say that the bottled-in-
bond act is behind the demand for the
pure goods. The business. has
been growing steadily for more than a
year and each month sees gain in the
business.

Albany, N.
