MAYOR ELECT GUNTER WILL

With the first of the new city admin

people of Montgomery the proposition
Of the new city hall. 1t is known that
the construction of the new quarters
for the government OF Montgomery is
a project dear to the hearts of Mayor
Gunter and the incoming administra-
ton, together with the opening of
Lee Street. two gigantic feats that will
lend much to the prestige of the new
officials.
The Lee Street proposition and that
of the new city hall hinges together.
so much so. in fact, that the idea comes
that Lee Street is to be chosen as the
site of the new building. though moth
ing of an official or definite nature has
been revealed to substantiate the sur
mise.
The effort after the contamination OF
the two projects will surely come In
strong, 1t is known. within the next
few months The new administration
is to be ushered in within little more
than a month. and already glimpses
of the progressive policy of the Gun
ter government are shown.

FARMERS COMPLAIN
OBJECT TO STUMP SPEAKERS IN
vADING BARBECUEs.


Farmers are complaining. Not at the
crops this time, nor at the weather,
though probably both these give room
for complaint. they say. But the bug
bear of the agriculturist at this stage
is the plethora Of politics. Stump
speakers invade the institutes and bar
becues and social gatherings of COM
munities. Every stump in Alabama
holds an orator, and, will continue to
do SO for the next few months. And
the farmers say that these political
speakers make their invasions some
times whether or no the farmers desire
that particular brand Of entertainment
The campaign on constitutional pro-
hibition Is mixed with electioneering
for county and State Offices The
open season on voters has begun ear
lier than usual In this political year,
and candidates are taking advantage of
the almost premature campaign times
to force their economic views on the
toilers.
The farmers Of Alabama do not take
with exceptional favor to the idea OF
the political entertainments. and 1t Is
like that their peace of mind VIII be
the greatest sufferer by the furore.
