Rev. Frank Willis Barnett, the ac- tive and vigorous editor of The Ala bama Baptist. Is among the prominent out-of-town Baptists In Montgomery, Mir. Barnett, in his travels over Ala covers as much territory as any drum mer and he breaches at different places almost as often as the average minis ter. How he manages to publish such good paper under the circumstances Is a mystery, unless as some believe
 he turns out a whole lot of copy while riding on the train. He was much pleased at the large attendance on the Montgomery meeting.

that he left a strong majority party
twelve years ago and went to the
democratic party for the reason it ad-
vocated principles he believed to be
right and for the best interests of the
whole country. His abandonment of
the republican party was for princi-

is true, but the cause of principle
gained much. Mr.. Liggett is a man of
ability and good judgment. is for Bry-
an and harmony all along the line.

HOT SCHOOL ELECTION.
Quite Fight Stirred up at Ackley b,
Two Parties.

Two Parties.
Special to Times Republican.
Ackey. March 9.-There has been
quite a fight stirred up on the coming
school election here this spring. There
We're two citizens caucuses held last
week AT the first held. Tuesday eve
ming. H. H. Heetland and L. ID. Cor
des. the two Implement dealers OF the
town. were suggested as candidates for
school directors. These candidates
We're nominated by the citizens who
are somewhat dissatisfied with the
work of the former school board. and
desire some change in the manage
ment. At a second caucus the NOM
inees We're G.. +. Althouse, the editor
Of the Ackley World. and j. B. Blocker.
These parties are the nominees OF
those citizens who are satisfied with
the acts of the former board, and
more especially so in regard to the
building of the new high school build
ing.
In fact the fight is something OF an
outgrowth of the old fight in regard
to the erection of a new high school
building. and now much attention Is
given to the way the high school
building is built Many think the ar
rangement of the rooms of the building
is poor and that the heating plant is
not put in according to the most mod
ern style.
The building. however, as whole
Is very respectable building and
makes a valuable addition to Ackley's
public buildings.
But the fight goes on and promises
to be warm one at the election held
today Both parties are thoroughly
aroused and it may take a long time
before the old fued dies out.
