MONEY SENT OUT TO
 PAY ELECTION OFFICIALS


 The fact that Chairman George w. Jones is sending out the money to pay the clerks, inspectors and returning officers in the coming primary election shows how close at hand the primary is. MT. Jones has already sent check for SIP to each beat committeeman. to pay all offlcials who serve on May IS. Accompanying the check Is let ter asking the committeeman to cash the check and pay the election ofiicials promptly on primary day. This is new departure in the payment of cleo tion officials. But the assessments had been paid by all the officials and Chair man Jones believed that the most con- venient way of paying the officials was to pay them promptly during the day, while they are all together at the polling place.
 Chairman Jones reminds the commit teeman that the Executive Committee will meet at 12 o'clock on Friday for the purpose of canvessing the returns He urges every member of the com nnittee to be present at that time.

CLOVERDALE CITIZENS
 TO HOLD MASS MEETING

The citizens of Cloverdale who have begun a relentless war on mosquitoes, standing water and attendant evils will meet again today at noon in the rooms of the Commercial Club. Judge J. B. Gaston will preside over the meet ing.
 The principal purpose of the meet ing is to declare unrelenting war on the mosquito in Cloverdale's precincts. As a matter of fact CloveTdale is one of the best drained and one of the healthiest communities of the city and has perhaps as few mosquitoes as any quarter of Montgomery. But that is not the question. The citizens of Glow erdaIe are determined to have no mos quitoes at all. A special committee was named at the first meeting to re- port on ways and means of combating the destructive mosquito. This com mittee will report at the meeting to- day. TO the meeting all citizens of CloVerdale are invited.

GERARD LOST FIGHT
GOVERNOR THREW OUT COURT
 HOUSE PETITION.
A Bare Majority of Voters Had signed u and Some Names Were Jn- der ChaIienEe--So Scale
 Won

The efforts of the town of Gitard to remove the County seat of Russell county from Scale received at least a temporary setback yesterday when A petition of what was said to be a ma- Jorlty or the citizens of the County was thrown out by Governor Conner
 The struggle of Scale to retain the court house and of Girard to wrest 1t rom her sister city. has been carried on now Tor long time. Industriously the Girard partisans have circulated a petition for an election to be held in the County. To secure an election, 1t IS necessary under the Alabama law to procure the signatures of a majority of the qualified voters in the County to the petition.
 At last the Girard delegation thought they had surely secured the requisite number of petitioners and set out for the Capitol. Arriving here yesterday morning they obtained an audience with the Governor. It Is understood that the contesting delegations battled back and forth over an hour for su- also her lightning forces on hand.
 The list of signors to the petition for an election was threshed out tedi- ously by the Governor at the instance of the defenders of Scale. The peti-i ton was culled and culled until, 1t Is said. the majority was just about wiped out save probably three. It may have been entirely effaced. but at any rate the Governor ended the audience by ruling that he would not select a com mission for the election until he was furnished with afidavits of every quail filed voter who signed his name to the document which seeks to change the County seat.
 With this the delegation withdrew and departed for their homes last nigh t and this morning. Some of the men here in the interest of their respective communities were: Judge E. H. Glenn, B. D. Waddell w. A. Bellamy and s. R. Boykin of Scale. and Geo. c. Porter and others of Girard.

Advertiser Bureau.
 Selma. May 8. The Southern Railway is continuing It's retrenchment policy in Selma as far as reducing the operation expenses of the road at every possible oppor- tunitv.
 A new order which will materially reduce the expenses of the road in op- erating the shops in Selma was posted yesterday afternoon and went into ef- feet at once.
 The new order is that all work at the shops shall be suspended Wednes- day of each week until further notice. This cuts the men employed at the shops down to four days work each week. as no work is dVne Saturday. A force of only about twenty-five men Is now at work at the shops and the new order, 1t Is understood. Is ef- fective in every department.
 The cutting of this force out of an- other days work each week will prove a hardship to the few men who are at work.

 If is estimated that there are over a thousand whites and some 200 or 300 negroes who will participate in these disbursements.
 MT. Carter was retained by the Ala bama National Guard to investigate and prosecute the claims of the Ala oama soldiers. This he has done dil- victory.
 It is understood that two or three weeks of detail work will be necessary Tor the distribution of the money among the Alabama veterans.
