 There may be reasons why the peo- pie of this county are establishing a dy- nasty in free country, but this voter sees none that are good, unless 1t be our heritage and fate to~forever provide of fees and fees for whatever flock of can didates they and providence may steadily bless us with
 The fact is our reigning family with it's courthouse machine is manipulating some secret orders and your county pub lie school system from year to year, while the voters are blinking along, won- dering how such things are done.
 It would prolong this article embarrass- ingly to dig into the musty files of tho past and enumerate the hundreds of of- fees they haSe heretofore held-to resur- rect the tricks and trades of the past the temerity to seek office in opposition to them and who have gone down in de- feat and been thrown back on their own resources.

BESSEMER'S SCHOOLS
 PRIDE OF ITS CITIZENS
BY JACK BETHEA.

The citizens of Bessemer point with pride to the public buildings and in- stitutions of the city. to the High school, to the Grammar school, to the churches, and to the city park. These buildings are such that any citizen can take pride in them. They are kept in frst-class condition and the grounds are a rest for the eye, thanks to the ladies of the Civic Improvement society and the School Improvement association. These ladies, by their untiring efforts to beautify the surroundings and play grounds of the children, have aroused a feeling of civic pride in the appearance of the city. They have at last aroused the interest of the men of the town, manifested recently when the council voted a nice sum for the keeping of the City park.
 The High school is the especial pride of those who take an interest in the vel fare of the children of the city. It is the first building to be pointed out to a stranger-and the last. The high school is worthy of the pride taken in it as 1t is one of the finest and most completely equipped schools of It's size in the state The faculty secured by Superintendent A. A.

STATE NORMAL TO
 OPEN WEDNESDAY
AUSPiciOUs OPENING IS INDI- GATED FOR INSTITUTION AT JACKSONVILLE - CHANGES IN FAcULTY-STANDARD RAISED.

Jacksonville, September 1s.-(Special.) D. That the opening of the State Normal school next Wednesday, September 22 will prove the most suspicious in the his- tory of the school is indicated by the large number of students who have sig nified their intention of entering and by the fact that so many have already ar- rived. Students are reporting on every train. Houses are filling up rapidly with people from all sections of the state who are moving here for the purpose of edu- eating their children.
 The streets of Jacksonville are taking on new life and the college campus and halls are no longer deserted. Everything is now in readiness for the opening.
 President Dougette and his office force have made special preparations in order to expedite the classification and enroll ment of the students in the different courses. Such large number of stu dents is expected that all the faculty will doubtless be pressed into service to as- sist in the registration.
 The standard has been raised, six courses now being officered.
 There are 1s instructors, representing the leading universities of the United States, among them Columbia, Chicago, Yale Harvard, Princeton, Johns-Hopkins Virginia and Tennessee. The old teachers are Mary Forney, pedagogtcs and meta physics; Elizabeth Privett, mathematics; Alpha Rosor, science; Arthur G. Hamil- ton, manual training; Miss A. L. Black more, class music; Florence Weatherly, commercial department and secretary to president; Susan Lancaster, librarian.
 The new teachers are Charles H. Young, , chair of Latin, German and French; Wal ter F. Clayton, department of English; c. F. Watts. department of history and eco- monies; F. A. Harwood, athletics; Chris tine Waters, domestic science; Elmer Lawhon and Thomas Leslie assistants
 MT. Young is an A. M. graduate of Randolph-M Macon, and comes to the Nor mal highly recommended. MT. Clayton is an A. M. graduate of Yale and has re- gently returned from Oxford, England, where he has been pursuing graduate study. MT. Harwood comes from Virginia and is an A. B. graduate of the Uni versfty of Virginia. MT. Watts. after graduation at Washington and Lee uni versity pursued graduate study at the University of Chicago, and later took his A. M. degree from Tulane university. He has also pursued graduate study at Harvard, but recently has been engaged in field work of the bureau of corpora tions. Washington. D. c.

BABY SCRATCHED
 FOR THREE YEARS
Until He Would Bleed = Eczema Covered His Whole Body and Head Suffered KeenIy from Itching and Burning Hundreds of Dollars Spent on FruitIess Treatments.
CUTICURA CURED HIM
 NEVER TROUBLED SINCE

My little grandson when a year old had eczema all over his whole body and head. It lasted nearly three years. He had big sores on his head and the mat ter would run from them. He suffered scratch until he would bleed. He was a perfect sight. We tried every kind of salve and soap but they did no good. After spending hundreds of dollars, and having several doctors, which did him no good, we saw the Cuticura Remedies ad- vertlsed and we got some to see if they would help him. We used the Cuticura, Soap to wash him with and then applied the Cuticura Ointment. They cured him nicely. He is now five and has never been bothered with it since.

(Comm catedo WHO OWNS THE COURT HOUSE?
People the Dynasty?-Fy Thousand Dollars per Year
 Salaries.

As most of your readers know there Is a county primary to be pulled off some time next spring or summer.
 As usual the old guard which has held possession of the courthouse since "Hec was a pup is again to the front.
 It's slogan is: "The McAdorys can't be defeated"
 Our needy reigning family has three candidates, at least. out in the open. How many it has running under cover. as trading propositions, is yet to be devel- oped.
 On checking over the payroll they evil dently found that the great office of shes- if had escaped their notice. But now official announcement is made that 1t is theirs and they are going to have it.
 However, this election will present a magnificent opportunity to show whether they or the people own Jefferson county and it's courthouse.
 A number of first-class outsiders, men who have lived here only 20 or 25 years, are also applicants for the place. Some of these men have not made a habit of working the democratic party, but have worked for it.
 If the voters are either fair or wise, one of these outlawed citizens will be elected sheriff They at least pay taxes, vote, own property and try to make good citizens. They, at least, do not butt in to every kind of campaign and trade off family influence in every direction for subsequent use. Right here 1t may inter- est your readers to see concrete illus tration of the successful efforts~our reign ing patriotic family has ever made to protect the treasury from profane hands.
 Take this year for example. You will find

Weakley And Long Fail
 To Agree Or Joinf Debate

Mayor J. NJ. Miller of Cordova said, with reference to the debate at oakman: The sentiment of the gathering was de- cidedly against the amendment and when Mir. Long called off his followers it was shown that the anti-amendment forces out-numbered those who took the oppo- site side by about 15 to l.
 When Judge wealxley declined to meet MT. Long tonight, the latter again called off his followers and carried away with him about nine-tenths of the crowd. Mir. Weakley then proceeded to speak in the interest of the amendment to the hand ful which remained and MT. Long spoke to the auti-amendment crowd elsewhere.
 ''It is evident that the amendment will be defeated in this section by a goodly majority"

Toledo Pioneer Dead.

Toledo, September 1S.-Gotthilef Bloch, n years of age, former mem- Der of the firm of Stein & Bloch, and for more than quarter of century one of the leading business men of the city, died today. In 1872 he was appointed by Governor Baker as del egate to the International Police con- gress held in London. In 1875 he was elected to the Indiana legislature. His most memorable achievement, how ever, was his work in connection with the establishment of the normal school at Valparaiso. Seven children and a widow survive.

Cordova September 1S.-(speeiaL) )-After meeting Tom L. Long here tonight with a view of debating on the proposed pro- hibition constitutional amendment. Judge Samuel D. Weakley, who has taken the stump in the interest of the amendment, declined to divide time with his oppo- nent as the result of the turn which af- fairs took at the debate between the two men at Oalcman during the after noon.
 Judge wealIley and Mir. Long were both at the hall at the hour appointed for the opening of the debate, but 1t seems that the two speakers had split at the debate at oakman, and Judge Weakley, after explaining this, declined to indulge in an argument of the question with MT. Long.
