the census taking in Birmingham. Mr..
McEniry was in Birmingham this ait

regard to the matter.

know when they are. we'll treated"
he said. I'VE have made every effort to
have the census accurate and fully
taken in Birmingham, but the people
do not seem to appreciate 1t. l am
positive that the Birmingham census
has been thoroughly taken. We have
had a special agent in Birmingham and
90 enumerators working in that terri
tory and to my certain knowledge
the work was well done.
TT is claimed that 12h per cent of
the Birmingham people were not enum-
Grated. This is not true. l believe
that the action of the Chamber of Com
merce was i'll advised, to say the least.
They should have taken the matter up
with this office and gone into it with
me before anything public was done.

Bessemer, May 1.-(Special.)-At
$3.50 o'clock this morning a tank of
gasoline exploded in the cleaning and

and In three minutes the entire half
block was spouting flames from every
opening. The force of the explosion
carried the flames into the front
OF the John S. Harris & Co. cloth
Ing store, setting everything ablaze. An
attempt was made to remove some of
the showcases in the store but before
they could be gotten to the door the
men were forced out by the fire. At
this time the fire department arrived
and by magnificent work prevented the
spread of the flames They made the
run In record time, adjusted the hose
and had several streams of water play

after the alarm was turned in. 1t was
feared at one time that the fire would
spread through the entire block, but

The buildings were Quilted and the
stock of John S. Harris as we'll as the
fixtures is a total loss. Mr.. Harris
carried a $4,000 stock with $4,000 in
surance. There was $4,000 insurance
upon the building, which is owned by
Birmingham people, and it Is though
that this will cover the damage to
the structure. The furnishings of the
Sullivan boarding house were destroyed
by the fire and water, as was the
clothing in the pressing shop. The
Sullivan property Is covered by one
third insurance, but the shop has no
Insurance. The fire is the most dis
astrous since the burning of the Huey
Livery company stables. The fire
caused great excitement on account OF
the incredible swiftnes with which it
burned.

Gunter was shot and killed by his wife
last Thursday at Howelrs fish trap, seven
miles northeast of Talladega 1t is said
that Gunter had threatened to kill his
wife on sight and on Thursday morning
he mounted mule and with shotgun in
his hand went over to the home of Mrs.
Newton Willingham, a sister of his wife.
After talking there awhile he was per-
suaded to leave, but returned in a little
while and when near the home Mrs
Gunter rested an old army gun on the
window sill and fired, shooting him
squarely through the forehead, killing
him. He remained balanced on the mule
An inquest turned Mrs. Gunter loose, find
ing the homicide justifiable.

far no candidates for aldermen have an

First ward. The aldermen will be voted
for by the people, regardless of ward

be elected.
The race for circuit solicitor in this dis
trct was one of the most interesting
ones of the campaign, but it is evident
that, large number of voters had no
choice in the race. Judge Pelham, the
unopposed candidate for judge of the cir
cult received 7445 votes. The candidates
for solicitor received votes as follows
Cornelius, the nominee, 1920: Burt, 1880;
Manning, 1277; Smith, 9O4; making a total
of 1901 votes in the solicitors race, as
against 7445 votes for judge, a differ
ence of 1914 votes. 1t may be that the
difference is owing to the fact that not
all the counties in the circuit, under the
peculiar wording of the law, were per-
mitted to vote in the solicitors race, but
| all could vote for judge.
