POLITICS WARM
 AT THE STEEL CITY Opposition to Mayor Suggs
 Issues Pamphlet NO OTHER ANNOUNCEMENT Expected That Two Other Candidates Will Come out-Mrs. HoIIings- worth Presented With Hand
 some Lodge Pin-Notes.
NO OTHER ANNOUNCEMENT

Ensley, July 19.-(special)-T first campaign literature in the municipal con- test appeared late Saturday night. The literature was in the shape of a pam phlet got up by the Equal Rights club and is taken to be the beginning of op- position to the present administration. Mayor Sugg has made public announce ment of his candidacy for reelection and the names of nine candidates for alder men have also been made public. So far the opposition to the administration has kept It's fight under cover and no candi- dates have announced and no one seems to know who they will be. The election will take place September 21, and the campaign will no doubt wax warmer from day to day. It Is taken for granted that three candidates will be in the contest, Mayor Sugg, another democrat and a re- publican.
 The news that the pamphlets marking the beginning of the campaign by the anti-administration faction spread like wild fire and caused no little excitement This afternoon politics seemed to be the topic of conversation and the miners strike was lost sight of. Here and there on the streets could be seen groups of men who were discussing politics. A stranger in the city wouIu think 1t was the eve of an election.

Increases Army.


 Honduras, however began prepara- tions and increas sed It's army by 10000 men, placing a strong guard along the frontiers. A revolutionary movement was then ordered by those who were endeavoring to bring about change in the Honduran government. the revo- lutionists invading that country from the Guatemalan and Salvadoran from tiers. President Zelaya was taken by surprise at the movement and caught unprepared, but he immediately saw the peril to his government Undoubt- edly to help as much as possible the Honduran government, Zelaya in- creased the Nicaraguan army and placed arms in the hand of Salvador can refugees among whom were number of prominent and popular lead CTS. and quietly awaited develop ments.
 President Figueroa, among whose qualities courage is not believed to be part, knowing that a spark would start a powerful revolutionary fire in his dominions, was alarmed at the de- termined action of Honduras and Mica : ragua and refused further to aid the revolutionists in Honduras.
 Charges Are Piled.
 In the meantime, the heads of both Honduras and Nicaragua remembered the Central American court of justice recently inaugurated at Carriage, Costl Rica, and promptly filed charges against Salvador and Guatemala, not only with the idea of gaining time, but for the purpose of bringing more prom inently to the attention of these publlcs the possibility of American in tervention.
 Shortly after the presentation of these charges, the United States cruiser Albany left for Amalapa, with forea of marines and other warships were announced as being under orders to proceed to the scene of trouble if nee essary and as a result of the atti- tude of the United States the belliger- ent sentiments of the various Central American presidents cooled considera bly. for although bearing no love for each other and standing in constant fear of an attack from some undeter- mined quarter, they prefer anything to having the United States interfere in Central American affairs. As tho matter now stands, each one Is accus- ing the other and all are making claims to having been neutral.

If A new department of State is to be created, Herr Dietrich wants word in the business. He is the gem ial gardener of the Capitol grounds. His industry is very noticeable. You c-n see 1t either in his daily work itself or In the happy results wnicn welcome the eye to the beautiful vista of the grounds.
 Now Herr Dietrich is not hankering for more pay. He never sulks In the paths of duty. But there are two things which rub the epidermis Of the landscape scientist the wrong way. One Is qouting English poetry and the other Is trodding the grass and flower beds. And he insists that there are some minimizing persons in the Capi- tol who do both these things.
 So if the State really wants another executive department, Herr Dietrich wants to be the first applicant He that 1t will cost the State not an extra cent. All he wants issthe power to do certain things and the im- munity of the courts after those things are done.
 And if you would fit name to the good gardeners idea. you would call the new department something like. "Department of Grass. Flowers and Poetry"

 But, sir, did not know that we had men right here in the Capitol who would be guilty of such an im- propriety. and if he did, maybe he struck you on an elegant little poem and told you he was getting flowers for the girls" suggested an omcer.
 Dot vas oil right, but yust give me zie power and tink I will broke up zie verse gag und gle flowers. Glve me zie authority und I wager ye a lager will also put crime in tres passin' on zie grass"

 If you want. therefore. to get on the gardeners toes step on his grass. As for the flowers.-well, ask about the State house.

"Bud'' Nailed up the License
 But 1t Was in the EnUelope

Bud" produced witness after witness who swore that the license was nailed over the door of the Chiffon county cabin in which Bud" climbed as his home. There was no doubt about 1t. Every witness remembered distinctly to have seen the license nailed up over Buds" door with four tacks. Nobody could enter the house without seeing it.
 A little further questioning, how ever. developed the fact that the li- ccnse was nailed up in the envelope. just as 1t came from the Internal Revenue collectors office. "Bud"' had opened the envelope and after one of his friends had read 1t to him and told him what it was Bud" took his hammer and his tacks and nailed the envelope with the license neatly fold ed inside over his cabin door.
 Judge Fillmore gave him the benefit of the doubt. Bud" walked forth a free and a happy man. But the com missioner told Bud" to take his li- cense out of the envelope, spread it open and tack 1t up, and not to keep 1t inside the envelope.

MORE FUNDS
 FOR SCHOOLS Montgomery Census
 Shows Fewer. CITY ENUMERATION IS s,2s7 This is 523 Less Than Census Two
 Years Ago.
CITY ENUMERATION IS 9,297
Fer Capita Is Increased, However, and the City Should Get From the
 state More Than s22,OOO.

Probably never before has the num- Der of white and black children of school age in Montgomery been so nearly equally divided as is shown by the report of Superintendent Q! Fduca- ton Geo. W. Covington on the Mont gonaery county census as submitted yesterday to the State Department of Education. The report had been oe- leyed several days on account of the new census for the city of Montgomery which was authorized by State Super intendent H. c. Gunnels.
 The final enumeration of the school children in the corporate limits of Montgomery was turned over to Super intendent Covington yesterday by the city board and showed a total of D. 2s7. This makes gain of but FPS i over the results which were secured { in the first enumeration in July. The figures for the city were 9,059. However. the city of Montgomery falls in the category of the majority of other cities in the black belt in the comparison with the census of 1906. i Montgomery's shortage in children, however. does not prove to be as great as that of Selma. the census of 1906 being s.s20 for Montgomery.
 County Superintendent Covington re- ported the total enumeration for Mont Eomery county as 27,611. The total number of white children between the ages of and 21 years in the ciry is 4.5eS while the total of negroes be- tween the same ages is 4.161. The number of white males is 2.2a3 and of females, 2.237. The aggregate of negro males Is 2,217 and of negro fe- males. 2.544.
 The new census-taking for this city which caused the delay fin reporting the results was ordered by Supt. Gun nels at the request of the city board of education who expressed the be- lief that misunderstanding and inac- curacies underlay some of the origi- nal enumeration.
 With the receipt by the State De- partment of the exact figures for this county, the state census in the aggre- gate is practically complete and in a few days, prior to October 1st, that department will have computed the official per capita for distribution among the public schools.
 It has already been estimated to be at least $40. sE
 On this per capita the apportion- ment for Montgomery county would be $66,266.40, and the city's share would figure $22,312.S0. The chances are that instead of this apportionment falling short on the final certificate of the State Auditor of the total funds avail able the shares will be higher.
 Although the reform methods of enumeration have resulted in more accurate count of the children this wear and a reduction of approximately i5.0OO in the total for the State, the per capita has been more than pro portionately increased for the reason that the general fund available IS nnch nnS higher for the sch holastic year of 19OS- D9 than for the two years previous. Last xcbool year the per capita was only x207

 The BurIingame Telegraph and Typewriter Conpany's exhibit in the Montgomery Light and Power Com pany's offices on Dexter avenue at tracted much attention yesterday and because of this the exhibition will be held again to-day.
 The machine Is an electrical mech anism attached to a typewriter that provides for a message written on a typewriter being transmitted without the use of the Morse code the word being printed In duplicate at the other end of the wire on similar apparatus. But one operator is required to send and record a message and the most useful part of the invention is that anyone familiar with a typewriter standard keyboard can transmit a message.
 The possibilities of the machine for commercial and newspaper use are al- most unlimited especially in the say ing of time. The machine has created sensation of interest in Montgomery.

Did Bud" Ellison. post his revenue license in a conspicuous place as re- quired by law?
 The fact that Bud posted the H. cense in the envelopc~ Just as it came from the Internal Revenue Department did not initiate against him when ne was brought to law by the Federal authorities for violating the internal revenue laws.
