BURNETT ID SPEAK
 IN PULLMAN COUNTY
Congressman Is Optimistic
 Over the Outlook
PULLMAN IS IMPROVING
New Machinery Has Arrived for Elec- tric Light and Water Plant and d
 Day Current Will Soon Be
 Installed

Cullman, September 25.-(Special)+I Hon. John L. Burnett was in Gull
 man today on his way to several ap- pointments in the western part of the
 county, where he will speak in the
 interest of his campaign for re-elec-
 tion to Congress from the Seventh dis trict.
 Congressman Burnett is very opti-
 mistic over the outlook for his re-elec- 1 tion in November and says that in no | race he has ever made has the pros poets been so f1attering. Mir. Burnett said: "I will defeat my opponent, MT. | Howard, by a greater majority In this election than I have ever beaten any | straight republican with probably the exception of MT. Kennemer four years ago. My majority over the republican | candidate at that time was upward of $500 in the district and I predict that I will get a majority of at least 5000 in November this year. Nowhere that I have been in the district are the people taking MT. Towards cam paign at all serious and there is not the least doubt that the people of the Seventh will return me as their repre- sentative by an overwhelming major | ity this year."
 MT. Burnett will go from Cullman into Winston and to Franklin coun- ties, and will possibly wind up the campaign here in Cullman. The new outfit of machinery which roIo tvna or city for use in the electric light and water plant, has arrived and has been | installed. The entire plant was re- | fitted up with new machinery through | out. The difference inG the light and water service since the installation or the new machinery can readily be seen This improvement has long been need
 ed and its arrival and installation filled long felt want. The old dynamo and engine which has given service since the town first built the light and water plant will be used for making day current. The town has never had this feature, but 1t is hoped that with in a short time day current will be installed.
 Now that the school buildings have all been built and paid for the thing that will engage the attention of
 Mayor elect Robertson for the incom ing two years will be the Work or making sidewalks all over the town and the putting in of sewerage sys- tenn. Mir Robertson will go Into of flee October 1, but already he has been Investigating plans by which this inn portant improvement can be made with the least expense to the city and to its citizens. The immediate need for this demand that some action in this
 direction be taken as early as pos | sible..,
 | That part of the democratic ticket | in this county Is by no means safe | Is conceded and for this reason there | is a popular demand here for J. Thom- as Heflin, congressman from the Fifth district, to deliver addresses in the interest of the party in this county
 Doubtless, under conditions as they now
 are here, no man in the state could
 be of more service to the democratic party in this county than could MT. Hefln.
 This matter will be brought to the attention of the state campaign com. mittee and an effort will be made to have MT Heflin make one or more speeches in the county.
