ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS LIGHT
Many Thought an Airship Was Over
 Red Mountain Lnst Night

Considerable excitement was caused on the streets last night by what was be- lieved to have been an airship crossing Red mountain. The air machine, what ever 1t was, carried a very bright light and lowered over Red mountain for about an hour. It appeared to be go- ing south and was to be seen by looking slightly to the west of the south end of Twentieth street.
 Nothing of the form of the thing could be made out except the lights which 1t carried and which alone made 1t visible. It danced about in the air, taking long. graceful sweeps, but coming back to the same height. 1t maintained about the same level. It appeared to be about 1000 feet above the crest of the mountain. It was visible from 10:30 o'clock until il :3O. after which it gradually disappeared over the mountain.

Will Ask For Privileges

When the city council of Selma meets Friday night Ernest Lamar and asso- ciates will ask of the city franchises and terminal rights for the proposed railroad from here to the Birmingham district. There is no doubt but that the privileges asked for by the Selmians will be grant ed, but for self-protection certain re- strictions will be placed around them.
 MT. Lamar and associates were to have asked for these priveleges from the city council last Monday night, but, as no meeting of that. body was held, the mat ter was deferred until Friday night. With rights of way and terminal facilities granted by the city authorities, it Is ex- pected that closely following will come some definite announcement as to the plans being made for the building of the proposed road.

BELL WILL LAUNCH
COUNTY CAMPAIGN
Democratic Candidate for Cover
nor to Open Contest with
Los Angeles Rally
PLANS TOUR OF SOUTHLAND
War Against S. P. BoSSism Re-
stores Confidence in Party,
Declares Norton

Theodore A. Bell, Democratic nomi-
nee for governor, will open his cam
paign in Southern California about
September "a, according to letters re-
ceived here from the north yester-
day.
Mr. Bell will practically launch the
Democratic campaign with big rally
and mass meeting in Los Angeles, the
exact date and place of which are yet
to be determined.
During the last ten days of October,
it was stated by Albert M. Norton,
chairman of the county central COM
mittee, yesterday Mr. Bell will con-
duct a whirlwind campaign through
out Los Angeles county, making
speeches at every town of Importance.
He probably will make two or three
speeches during that period in Los
Angeles.
"Mr. Bells tour Of Los Angeles coun-
ty," said Mr. Norton yesterday, will
be one of the most rousing and en-
thusiastic ever witnessed in the south
land.
''Mr. Bell and other Democratic
nominees are confident of their vic
tory in the north and while they have
every reason to feel that the southern
end of the state will poll a heavy
vote for the Democratic ticket, they
feel that q general campaign or pup
licity will be necessary here to edu-
cate the people as to the real issues,
and the merits of the respective nomi-
nees. The most vigorous fight will be
waged in this end of the state, and 1t
will begin in Los Angeles.
1--WE are receiving great deal of
encouragement from every 'conceiv-
able source, and If there is anything
in appearances, Mr.. Bell will not have
to turn over a hand to become the
next governor of California; but we
are not going to leave anything un-
done that will enhance his opportunity
and insure his success.
"The Democrats of Los Angeles are
manifesting considerable enthusiasm
in the pending campaign, such has not
marked an election contest in this
county for many years, and we re-
gard 1t as an indication of the popu-
iarity Of the Democratic nominees and
issues, showing that confidence has
been restored in our party, and in its
principles, as a result of the terrific
struggle we have waged against Sou
thern Pacific bossism and corrupt pol
tiles"
