A.. II. 4 A. Rumors

Persistent rumors have been going
the rounds within the last few days
that the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic railroad would shortly begin OPP
Grafton through Bessemer over its own
tracks. Work has been progressing
rapidly during the past few weeks on
its tracks between Bessemer and Rir-
lningham, which are now practically
completed. 1t Is expected that the
company will operate the first train
ever its own tracks within the next
few days The construction below Bes-
semer Is complete as is the bridge and
concrete work.
Plans were made some time ago to
have a celebration of the event and
a committee was appointed from the
board of trade to make arrangements
to meet the train. 1t was planned TO
have the Bessemer band out and to
make the event gala occasion. Moth
ing has been heard from the commit
tee lately, but it is presumed that
they will have the same features as
were planned before.

All the nominees are expected to be on

Prohibitionists Active
The prOh1bftionistS of the state wide
type and ultra opinions are by no means
sitting idly in the boat and waiting Tor
the convention to tear down what they
have built up without entering a. protest.
Letters have been sent to all sections of
the state from general headquarters in
Birmingham asking that sentiment be
builded against going over body and soul
to the local option side. Doubt is ex-
pressed In these letters that it Is the
intention of the people of Alabama to
reccde from the state wide Idea, and
friends of prohibition are urged to
stand firm and do what they can to pre-
vent the policy of local option being made
to absolutely control. These letters are

Bessemer, May 14.-tSpecial.)--lt has

Local Option Plank

Looking over the nominees to the con-
vention, 1t Is quite certain that some sort
of a local plank will be put into the
platform, and that the present staet pro-
h.bition laws will be to some extent con-
dcmned All sorts of suggestions are in
the air, but most Of the people who have
expressed themselves lean most to the
idea of state wide prohibition as the
basis, with authority for county units
under certain strict conditions to provide
for local option, either by the sale in
open saloons in restricted territory, or by
dispensary. Some of the most ardent
/ advocates of change in the present
plans lean to the dispensary idea, and
there is some reason to believe that the
South Carolina proposition has a con-
siderable show of receiving Endorsement
from the democratic party.
1t is conceded that Senator Spragins of
Madison county will be one of the lead
ers for a change, and he Is commi..ed
to this form of distributing intoxicating
liquors.
A large per cent of the party leader
ship is determined that whatever laws
are Endorsed shall be backed up by the
party as whole in the assurance that
II adopted they Will be enforced. 1t IL not
believed that any great number will lean
to the old time idea of licensing saloons
promiscuously. Most of the men talked
to look to restricted sale, within closely
confined sections OF the largest cities, and
absolute observance Of the laws which
seek to prevent abuse of the privileges.
They say that there will not be a return
to the old time dive no matter what the
conditions, and that the pressure will be
SO great upon the officers that they will

laws whether they will or not.
DIsguested With Primary
The late primary has served to disgust
the people of Alabama as a whole with
this form of selecting candidates Some
of the, most prominent men in the state
are openly denouncing 1t. and the belief
Is prevalent that at the meeting of the
state convention q resolution looking to
n modified convention plan will be passed.
A great many of the best posted men
take the view that there should be a
primary for the governor and the lieuten-
ant governor as they represent dis

proposition. know who they are. But the
other OFFICERS, they believe. and especially
the judiciary, should be chosen by con-
vention.

awful chance. If he wins he has spent

$25O,OOO BOND
ISSUE PROPOSED
DALLIS COUNTY WILL VOTE ON
THIS AMOUNT FOR GOOD ROADS
IN AN ELECTION TO BE HELD
TOMORROW

Selma, May l4.-'speeialo-A a.
Der of the voters OF Selma al las
county were addressed at the COZ. lhouse
at noon today upon the question of issu-
Ing bonds to the amount of $2o0000 and
upon which the people of the county will
express themselves at the polls Monday.
The addresses were made by Mayor V.
b. Atkins, Probate Judge p. H. Pitts and
Superintendent of Public Roads w. S.
Keller. Each of the speakers was heard
with the closest attention throughout by
the large number of voters present.
II an explicit and convincing way
Judge Pitts explained to those present
what the issue of the bonds meant to the
future of Dallas county. He stated that
these being issued would not cause the
taxes of the county to be raised par
ticle, but that on the other hand, good
roads would greatly enhance the value of
every piece of land in the county. He ex-
planned the manner in which the bonds
would be issued and in explaining how
they would be redeemed told that at pres
emf the county is expanding about $4,000
a year on the roads and that this amount
would pay interest and retire the bonds
at the end of the 80 years for which they
would be issued
w. S. Keller was then introduced to the
meeting and made a most persuasive adj
dress in favor of the bond issue. Mr.. KEEL
Ter told of his experience in building
good roads in other states and counties
and of the benefits which all classes in
the county would receive by there being
good and permanent roads II all sections
of the county. He illustrated his address
by citing many instances of where good
roads had increased the valuation of farm
lands and explained how the money would
be used If the bond Issue was carried and
how the roads would be built.
At the conclusion of the meeting all of
those present were urged to go to the
polls Monday and vote for the bond issue.
After they had voted there were urged to
get others to vote so that the question
would be carried by a handsome ma
jority.
The former residence of NJ. j. Meyer
Franklin street was today purchased by
A. A. Davidson, the consideration being
something over s6As). The residence is a
two-story brick house and Is located in g
desirable part of the resident section OF

conveniences. The price paid for the
home is considered very reasonable by

Montgomery, May 14.-tSpecial.) 1.-The
democratic state convention which will
meet here Tuesday is looked upon as
giving promise of events of more impor-
lance than any such session in great
many years. There does not seem to be
any doubt but what the party prohibition
policy of the state at the present time
will be overthrown and local option
bill suggested to the Legislature, the re-
suit of which will be to restore the legal
sale of intoxicating liquors in Alabama
under some sort of conditions.
Under the committee plans the purpose
OF the convention is to elect a state
committee and promulgate a party plat
form, and to take up such other questions
as may at the time present themselves
The representa- ion in the convention will
be delegates who have been elected by
the primaries in the different counties, and
they will have power to commit the party
to a general line of policy and to thus
instruct the candidates for governor and
lieutenant governor as to what the state
will expect of them during the next four
years.
Representation
The question of representation is just
now one of much moment The white
counties have all along desired that the
number of delegates be based upon the
democratic vote, but up to this time the
black belt has carried this point and the
convention will be made up on a basis of
popula ton rather than of party numbers.
The representation is the same as in
1906 and the various counties will be
represented, as a result, by the following
