THE Y. M. C. A. FEDERAL BUILD
 ING SALE.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 With much perplexity and some ir- ritation of spirit, Phoenix has adminis- tered at least a temporary anaesthetic to the project of selling the Central school block. That is but one of the many questions that appear mushroom like before this people, almost with every lunar change and that it seems can only be settled in the order of pri- ority by the process of elimination. Some application of the expression on Monday night, may be made to the next in order, the federal building pro ject
 It is true that the Central block mat ter had only a secondary bearing on the federal building question, but the people thought it did. which amounts to almost the same thing. The pro- ponents of almost every site suggested for the federal building were out in force. opposing the sale of the Central block. Their combined opposition can only be construed in it's bearing on the federal building question as a protest against the erection of the federal building in that locality, and further as an appraisemeat of

the value of the Central school block at not less than $100,000.
 The next most discussed site for the
 building is the east half of the Y. M.
 C. A. block. Surely it can be valued | at but little less than the Central block ] and for many purposes it's equal value
 win be conceded. The project has been shaping for some time to sell the east
 half of the Y. M. c. A. block to a syn dicate for the purpose of offering it to the government, said syndicate to pay for it the sum of approximately $20,000, the exact sum not being known by the writer. Does it not appear that in so doing the syndieste,Ser the government | (granting that the syndicate makes the ] transfer without pfofiO is getting a 1 $50, 900 piece of r. NJ. C. A. property at less than half its value? It is true the entire block cost but little more than l that a year ago. but the contention is that the people are entitled to the in crement, in respect of public hold
 ing and the Y. NJ. c. A. block is little less so than the public school block, ! for nearly every business man and
 half the representative laboring class tS LII lilG CllL nave COulL lUultu lO llS purchase.
 Ostensibly the argument is that the federal building will make the Y M. c. A. property more valuable. Perhaps it will, but the Y. M. C. A. will have noth ing more to sell, that it can realize up- on. Is 1t not more likely that the gen tlemen contributing to the Y. M. C. A.
 Federal Building Syndicate, hope by the success of their plan to add great value to their property in the same vicinity? And is it eminently fair and just that residents of all other parts of the city who have contributed to
 the Y. M. C. A. fund, should have the
 weapons of their own making, turned
 against them, by the sale at half it's value, of portion of the property they
 have helped to buy, in a project to keep the federal building away from some
 equally as good a site, which might normally be found in a locality that would increase the value of their pri- vate holdings?
 Finally, with much enthusiasm, ev
 erybody subscribed to build the Y NJ
 C. A. home. It was to be done at once.
 Since that time delay has followed de- Jay. Every project suggested that might affect property values, has halt
 ed the Y. M. c. A. enterprise long enough for the managers to see if there wasn't a place somewhere that the Y. M. c. A. could butt in' to some financial advantage. Are we never to
 have the building until everything else desired by the community has been se- cured, the Y. M. c. A. meanwhile lurk-
 ing in the brush, waiting for a chance
 to grab something? Was it the pur- pose of the Y. M. C. A. to build a house or is it a mere business organization. perching on the corner to seize upon every passing real estate bargain? Moreover, assuming that it is and is
 justified is so doing, is it a good busi-
 ness proposition for the Y. M. c. A? If the school house property is worth $100,000 the Y. M. c. A. block is or soon will be. Build the house where

the work was started and the other half of the block can be sold for $50,- 900 or held a few years until the same half block will be worth $100,000, as suming always, that the judgment of the people is a criterion. Would that not be better than selling a half block for half price leaving nothing else to sell, and incidentally being called upon to square with the contractors for the $250O useless foundation already laid? And also being called upon to blast out the concrete foundation already built and fill up the hole? The govern ment must have a good clean lot for it's purposes, according to the terms of the advertisement It does not appear to the writer that the plan is good business for the |. M. c. A. It is cer tainly in opposition to the personal in terest of many Y. M. c. A. contributors, and Monday nights meeting surely in. dicates the attitude of the public gen erally in the matter.

 In their report the grand jury says that so far as they were able to ascertain the negro who was lynched was not guilty of any crime. Stover was arrested near Danville on the charge of having en- tered the bedroom of Miss White on the night of October 19. The young lady was unable to give any description of the negro There was direct evidence against Stover, but circumstances pointed to him.
 The men who composed the lynching party had their faces blacked, and so far as known there was not person who recognized a single man in the mob when they rushed in and took the negro away from the officers at Hartselle as they were in the act of placing him on a train and bringing him to the county jail in Decatur.

Discussion of Clerk.

A meeting of the Workingmen's club was held Saturday night, the pur- pose being to indorse one of the can didates for the judgeship of the inferior court and to put out u candidate for clerk. The claim is made that the workingmen voted almost solidly that the court be established and that they should have the privilidge of naming the clerk. In this connection it is pointed out that the selection of a suit able man for clerk is of as much in terest and of as vital importance as the selection of a judge. The clerk will have the bulk of the business to at- tend to and will collect and pay out all money. He will receive and docket all cases and enter judgments and so forth. It is claimed to be highly es- sential that a man be appointed who is familiar with conditions.

On account of can- cer, about a year ago MT. Heflin was compelled to submit to a serious opera tion part of his jawbone being removed. Since that time his health has not been good, and the sustaining of a severe hem orrhage three weeks ago so prostrated him that he could never rally from it's eff fects. MT. Hehins bright little girl about II years of age is at this time in crit ical condition herself, and the news of her fathers death has not been told her. MT. Hefin and family moved here about six years ago from Indiana, and at once he so identified himself with this towns progress as to soon become a useful and popular citizen. He and his brother had the contract for the boring of the cele- brated city well here, and were engaged in other important works of like kind. He leaves surviving him his wife and two children, Beryl and Walter IA and 10 years respectively The funeral occurred this afternoon from the Presbyterian church. of which MT. Hefin was mem Der.

(Communicated.)

In speaking of the different candi- dates for judge of the inferior court of Beat 45, leading business man of Ensley said:
 q am for c. F. Camp for judge as [ believe him to be the best qualified man for the place. Withou re1ectine on his opponents, he is far above any of them so far as qualifications are concerned. In the first place he is well known, he has been tried in a public trust and filled the place ac ceptably, and his honesty and integrity are beyond question. He always has been fair minded and just and no one can charge him with showing fear or favor while in office. Then again his knowledge of courts of equal jurisdic- tion eminently fits him for the place. Charlie Camp is every inch man, true and tried, and never found wanting. He will be elected Tuesday by the largest ma jority ever given local can didate. Vote for Camp and you win never have cause to regret it. He stands for truth, law and order, and equal justice to all.''
