CATTLE TICK LAW.
Voters of Madison County Want Bug
Eradicated.

Huntsville, December 2-tSpecfal. by
q majority Of more than 300 votes cast in
the election Of Monday, Madison county
will now go in under the cattle tick"
law of the state and the provisions OF the
state as to allowing cattle to run at
large will be applied here The county
commissioners refused 20 act on their
own initiative after the state law was
amended last August and they put it up
to the voters for instructions at the polls.
Progressive stock men attached great
importance to the result, which will allow
the government to 60 to work In the
eradication Of the cattle quarantine. It
is estimated that this alone will be of
great financial benefit to the cattle men
and farmers generally. The federal line
Is only few miles north OF here now
and heretofore all attempts to start the
work of tick eradication have resulted
in nothing.

away after the amendment fight than
local politicians begin worrying about
the municipal election to come off next
year. Although few candidates have
formally announced as yet 1t Is gener-
ally known who will be in the races.
The greatest interest Is manifested over
the contest for the mayors chair. The
present mayor, l. A. Lewis, will In all
probability be a candidate for election

term of Mayor Rush, who died some
months ago. 1t is understood that Lacey
Edmundson. president of the city coun-
Gil, will also be a candidate and as both
gentlemen are popular in the city warm
race IL expected
There will probably be three candi-
dates for the judgeship OF the city court
at Bessemer Judge William Jackson,
who holds that position at present, will
ask for another term. and Gardner Good
wyn, city attorney. will also make the
race. 1t is stated that Judge B. Clay
Jones will also be candidate. AS clerk
of the court. e. A. Dudley, present
clerk, will be in the field, as will Rose
Huey. 1t is rumored that e. A. Little

for the solic.torship. While number Of
gentlemen have made no official an
nouncement they are known to have the
matter under consideration and 1t is gem
