Political Notes
The last days of the political cam
paign have been busy ones in Ems
ley and many candidates and their
friends have been in evidence. Whlie
the governors race is paramount the
candidates for the other offices have
rot been idle. Extravagant claims are
being made by both factions to the
out come of the cor test for governor
the oNeal faction claiming everything
in sight, while the Mallory forces are
confident of victory. Indications point
to a close contest.
The friends of Colonel Mallory have
been quietly and persistently working
in his behalf and are apparently well
plea sed with the outlook. The O'Neal
faction is well organized and has con-
Quoted an aggressive campaign. Each
awaits with confidence the outcome OF
the battle of ballots Monday.
Next to the gubernator1al contest the
race for United States senator is at
tra citing attention and an active cam
paign is beng waged on behalf OF
1.-The candidates. For the Legislature
Thomas J. Judge. the local candidate
l.wil. receive a large vote here and his
friends proclaim him a winner. The
lpolls will open at the city hall at 5
/ O'Clock Monday, morning and will re-
Imam open until IS p. m. battle roy al

Baby Show and May Pole Dance
The baby show and Maypole dance
given yesterday afternoon by the ladies
of the Ensley church was a decided sue
cess. The lawn on Avenue near the
city hall was crowded with the parents
and friends of the little contestants. The
babies were grouped according TO age,
ranging from infants to children years
old. The little ones made a beautiful
picture, and the daintiness of their ap-
parel and the natural beauty of the chill
dren rendered the task of awarding the
prizes exceedingly difficult.
The twin baby boys of Alderman and
Mrs. Nj. II. Mcdowell were the center
of attraction and brought forth much
audatory comment. The awarding of the
prizes was a difficult and delicate task
for the three judges, Glen Burke, A. C..
Kicks and c. H. Mandy, for a more ex-
quisite bouquet of baby loneliness could
hardly have been gathered together.
Dainty little Miss Evelyn Sullivan took
the first prize for the older children. and
the Mcdowell twins and Baby Lucy Ray
won the infants prizes.
In the boys voting contest the twins
were again successful, with Mack John
son. Jr. a close second. The girls con-
test went to Wilmer Preston closely fol-
lowed by Katherine Byrum. A number of
beautifully decorated gocarts received rib
bons
The Maypole dance was very pretty.
The little girls danced charmingly and
made lovely scene. The ladies were
much gratifed at the success of the affair,
over 5000 being realized.
New Methodist Church
Beginning Monday May 2, work will be
resumed on the new Methodist church
: building on Avenue and Twentieth
street, Ensley. During the past 80 days the
sum of $500 has been collected, and
with the amount on hand will build the
: walls and roof of the structure. This ed
if1ce, which is to cost $4,000, was COM
menced two years ago, and was making
rapid progress toward completion when
the business depression came. As many
: who had subscribed to the new building
moved away from the city it was found
advisable to suspend operations until more
favorable conditions existed Dr. J. d.
Simpson and the stewards of the church
are making a determined effort to finish
, the building and are receiving valuable
aid from the ladies of the church. The new
construction work will be under the d.
rection of the building committee. W. B.
