 WILL BE SOLVED

Prattville, September 13.-(Special.)-The democratic executive county committee has issued a call for that body to meet in this place on September 15 for the purpose of hearing the contest instituted by W. w. Goolsby vs. V. A. Spenny for the nomination for sheriff. The case has been before the state democratic commit tee twice and before the county commit tee twice and this is the third time the commmittee has been called to hear this contest. The state committee ordered the county committee to go in the case and hear it on its merits and the county committee will doubtless end the differ ences in the party in this county.
 It will be recalled that this contest Is over the nomination for sheriff in the primary held on April Il, in which there were five candidates soliciting votes and the leading candidates, the contestant and the contestee, received S42 and 343, respectively, in an election where nearly 1900 votes were cast The contest arises from the claim of the contestant that illegal votes were cast.

Elmore county will spend the s175,000 recently voted for good roads under the most expert supervision and advice. E. W.

Though he has not in- vestigated it, 1t is understood that roads are now being built in Autauga county, under contract, for 1850 per mile.

ERA OF PROSPERITY
 DAWNS 0N DECATUR
Farmer Is King of All He
 Surveys
RAISING NEW CROPS
Factories Are All Running in Full Force and Real Estate Booms Most Prosperous Times Since
 the Civil War

Decatur, September 13.-tSpecial)- Everything points to more prosperous times in the Decaturs this fall than there has been for a long time past. The Louisville and Nashville railroad shops are employing more men and on longer time than they have for the past two years and all the other fac tories of the two Decaturs are run ming with full forces on full time. Real property, are on the increase in the Decaturs and the surrounding coun- try. There are but few vacant build ings, either residences or business houses. in the two Decaturs. The whole sale houses of the two Decaturs have mess than they have done for a long time. Steamboat men report that traf- fic on the Tennessee river Is on the increase. Contracts have been let for the erection of a number of business and fine residence blocks and the work on these will commence this fall.
 The farmer in this part of the state Is in a more prosperous condition than for many years past. This part of the state has the largest corn crop that 1t has ever produced. There will be ample supply of corn to sell. The cotton crop will be at least an average, accord ing to present indications. As a rule the north Alabama farmer is in a more prosperous condition than he has been since the close of the civil war With good crops, plenty of grain and feed stuff of all kinds. with droves of hogs and herds of cattle and, as a rule, "a bank account, the north Alabama farm CT is king of all he surveys
 During the past few years farmers of this part of the state have learned that cotton and corn Is by no means all that the lands here will produce. Many of the farmers now are turning their attention to the raising of wheat. oats, alfalfa and sorgum and other forage crops for heir cattle and other live stock and they are making money out of these crops.
 Another industry that Is proving most profitable here is truck farming and fruit growing. Many farmers are turning their attention to this and are making money out of 1t. They find a good market in the Decaturs and the best shipping facilities here by both rail and the Tennessee river for all their products that they desire to ship to any part of the United States. Poul- try farming Is proving a most profit able business and a number of people around the Decaturs are making money out of poultry raising. Raising fancy pigeons is also getting to be not only fad but moneymaking business here. William Scharfemberg of New Decatur has one of the finest droves of homer, pouter and fan tail pigeons In the entire country. He has taken a number of prizes recently at the big pigeon shows of the north and eas,. It Is no uncommon thing for him to sell a well bred pigeon for $15 or $50. In only a few years he has made a national reputation as a pigeon fam cier. What he has done he says others can do and there Is no limit to the possibilities of pigeon raising here In north Alabama. He says the climate here Is especially adapted to pigeons.
