The Special School Election

The citizens of Elko who favor the
issuance of $4,000 additional bonds for
the completion of the new schoolhouse
and the maintenance of the school
should be on the alert or the proposition
may be defeated ut the polls.
We understand that opposition to
the bond issue is springing up on the
ground that the trustees first asked for
$780, 200 which was voted and increased
the amount to $4,000 on the first cleo
tion proving invalid. 1t is claimed that
the $50, 900 voted at the second election
is all the trustees asked for and they
should not go over that amount in build
sng and equipping the new school
house.
As a general principal the writer is
opposed to boards of trustees or other
boards that handle the peoples money
for building purposes exceeding the
amount voted for such purpose. This
is his creed and one that he insisted
should be followed by the regents of
the state university when member of
that board.
But the trustees of this school district
have a serious crisis to face. After a
thorough study of the conditions in
Elko, they selected a plan for school
building that will meet the wants of
the district for many years to come
They advertised for bids and it was
then seen that the building could not be
built and equipped within the amount
the people had voted.
On learning this, the trustees had one
of two courses to follow. One was to
get new plans and delay the building of
the new schoolhouse indefinitely and
the other was to ask for an additional
amount to complete and furnish the
building according to the selected plan.
On the advice of a number of heavy
property owners, the trustees chose the
latter course In this we believe they
acted wisely. 1852.
For years the people have clamored
for new schoolhouse. Delay after de-
lay has occurred and the children of the
district have been deprived of school
facilities that were theirs by right. The
children are helpless in this matter
and their appeal for better facilities
to. obtain an education should not go
UNDECIDED because the board of trustees
are compelled to ask for money, with
which to erect and equip a school build
ing that will be a credit to the district.
The writer has no children to educate,
therefore he can not be accused Of hav-
ing any personal interest In the new
school house. But he believes in giving
the boys and girls of Elko the very best
facilities for obtaining an education. AS
a taxpayer he urges every friend of the
children to turn out at the election on
the 10Th of this month and cast his
ballot for the issuance of the bonds
asked for by the trustees.

ance of dog fight around the corner and a cabinet rupture in Hayti has heen settled for all time in favor of the dog fight, for the first flight men toned was of sufficient interest to command the attention of the mayor, the recorder and the ex-chief of police, who watched the bout with excited mien, while it has further over shadowed the absorbing question of the constitutional amendment for two days.
 The second fight Is of interest be- cause 1t brings up the question as to whether a police officer has a right to make an arrest in a government build ing. The dogs@two fine bulls-had their second meet in the postoffice, soaring an attache so badly that he broke a plate glass, and while this question was not decided in police court, 1t is furnishing no little argu ment for attorneys and others inter ested.
 The owners of the dogs were &C., quilted in court today on the ground that there is no ordinance covering their alleged offenses.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
 AT TRUSSYILLE

Trussville, October u.-Cspecial. .)-The Trussville public school opened here last Monday with an attendance of 90 pupils. Owing to the era of good feeling and bright financial prospects, due to the re- opening of the Southern Steel company' 8 plant at this place, the school board antic- ipates an increased attendance over last year. The following corps of teachers is employed Principal, s. A. Moore, Centre vile; assistants, Miss Mayo, Ensley; Miss Thomas, Birmingham; Miss Petrey, Pet rey. They all come highly recommended and are progressing nicely with their work.
 The steel plant was fired Sunday, and 1t is now in full operation. Everybody appears to be in good spirits and the trend of conversation Is diverted from the constitutional amendment to the fur mace.
 Many new families being identified with the Southern Steel company have recently come to Trussville. Mir. Campbell, for merly the chemist Of the Southern Steel company, has moved his family to Sheffield.
 The Rev. MT. Dormor of the Methodist church filled his regular appointment here Sunday. He talked on "The Sanctity of the Home" He made a strong appeal for the support of the constitutional amend ment. While his talk was well received by some ardent supporters of the amend ment, there are some who oppose the amendment. Trussville is divided on this important issue. As yet, neither side has organized at this place.

RESULT IN MORGAN
 IS VERY DOUBTFUL
BLACKWELL CLAIMS AMENDMENT WILL BE GIVEN GOOD MAJOR iTY BUT LONG IS EQUALLY CON FIDENT.

Decatur, October 11.-(Special.)- Capt. Samuel Blackwell, the leader of
 the defenders of the prohibition con
 stitutional amendment in this county. has just returned from a trip over tn
 county. He says that he is confident tha this county will go for the amend
 ment by good large majority He
 says that he had good crowds and the
 best of attention at every place he
 spoke. He says at vaIhermoosa
 Springs he spoke to an audience of , ception of one man all of the audience
 stood up in favor of the amendment Maj. William H. Long leader of the , anti-amenders In this county is just as confident that the county will give good majority against the amend
 ment. Major Long says that the coun- try people as a rule, are opposed to
 the amendment. He claims that many who voted for prohibition will vote
 against the amendment He spoke to
 a good sized crowd on Saturday night
 at Austinville and it is claimed that
 this precinct will give a large ma
 jority against the amendment
 The antis claim that a great many of
 the country people are against the amendment The amenders agree that
 this was true, but say that the seIfti- ment in the country has changed re- markedly in favor of the amendment. It is pretty generally conceded that Decatur will give a majority against | the amendment and 1t is quite likely l that New Decatur will give a majority | for the amendment, although the antis 1 are claiming New Decatur by a safe l majority. A good many of the most l substantial business men of New De- 1 catur are opposed to the amendment | but on the other hand there are a good many who favor the proposed measure At the present time sentiment is badly divided in the county, and at present conservative view of the sit uation here would indicate that the
 county is doubtful When the cam
 paign opens and the speakers get out
 in the various precincts the vote may
 be changed one way or the other.
 The amenders are now claiming
 every county in the Eighth congress
 sional district. while the antis are
 claiming every county in the district
 with the exception of Lawrence. It is pretty generally conceded here that Lawrence county will give majority
 for the amendment.

Westmoreland Home Burns.

Athens, October n.-(Special.) )-The handsome home of Labe Westmoreland situated on East street, was totally de- stroyed by fire at an early hour last night. The furniture, or most of it, was saved by the neighbors. who responded to the alarm, but 1t was badly dam- aged. The fire originated in the kitchen or from a fiue, and owing to the heavy rains which fell all day Sunday the blaze burned slowly, and but for the low pres sure of the water on at the time, the prop erty would have been saved. MT. West moreland carried 5000 insurance on the cottage and 800 on the contents.

UMBER MILL IS BURNED TO GROUND
DISASTROUS FIRE OCCURS AT LE-MACHINERY AND A MILLION FEET OF LUMBER DESTROYED-NOI INSURANCE.

Aliceville, October 11.-(Special)-One of the most disastrous fires that has ever visited Aliceville occurred last night at 1 o'clock in the plant of the Aliceville Lumber company, which Is so situated that the confagration caused great fear for the business part of the town.
 For three hours the flames were fought. and 1t was with considerable difficulty that the Aliceville oil and Manufacturing companys plant was saved. Fear was also entertained for the Aliceville com press. A fire in either of these buildings would have rendered 1t almost impossible to save the business portion of the town from complete destruction.
 The fire was first discovered in the plan ing rooms had spread so rapidly that it was beyond control before the necessary assistance was had.
 The Aliceville lumber plant was one of the most up-to-date in this section, and besides the machinery nearly 100000 feet of rough and dressed lumber was de- stroyed, with no insurance. Three load ed cars were consumed by the flames. The extent of the loss cannot be intelligently estimated, but 1t is certain that 1t will reach the thousands.
