Brigman and kennemer Most
 Prominently Mentioned
BEAT ELECTION TODAY
EnsIey and Vivian Will Vote on Cues ton of Establishing Inferior Court-Personal and
 General News.

Ensley, October 4.-(Special. )-The all absorbing topic today has been the resig nation of Postmaster J. W. Clayton, which was forwarded to President Roosevelt Saturday, and the question Is who will be appointed his successor. Quite num- Der of probable candidates were men, toned but the race seems at this time to be between J. W. Brigman, alderman from the First ward, and T. G. Kenne- mer president of the Republican club. The friends of each have been exceed ingly busy today and petitions indorsing one or the other candidate have been freely circulated.
 Quite a sentiment has developed for w I. Miller, the present assistant post master, and should he enter the race he would be strongly indorsed, as his never failing courtesy to the patrons of the of flee has made him many friends.
 MT. Brigman is a native of Jefferson county and has lived in Ensley about IT years He has held several responsible positions with the Tennessee company during that time and filled each with marked ability. He has taken an active interest in city affairs and is serving his second term on the city council His many friends are rallying to his support and will urge his appointment.
 MT. Kennemer is also well and favor- ably known in Ensley, having resided here a number of years. He is a man of fine character and has filled several official positions with the United States government in a manner highly creditable to himself. His friends are active in his behalf and will make earnest efforts to have him appointed.
 It was consistently intimated today that dark horse was in the field who stood high with the republican party in this district
