Work on the North Alabama, Tennes- See and Northern railroad is being pushed southward through Sumter county and will soon make connection with the Ala bama Great Southern railroad at York. This road is the extension of the Carroll ton Short Line that was built by John T. Cochran about nine years ago from Reform on the Mobile and Ohio to Alice vile in the southern part of Pickens county.
 MT. Cochran is building the through line. It is his plan to connect with the road he Is already operating from Mo- bile to Silas in Choctaw county This will give him a through system from the gulf to the Alabama coal fields and the shortest by a large bunch of miles.
 More than this Mr. Cochran is opening to advanced development some of the finest agricultural and timber lands In the south, sections that are now far removed from any railroad.
 North Sumter, which is now being strung on wood and steel rail, is the finest alfalfa district in Alabama and Is already being developed on broad lines.
 
 finest beef cattle in the south but trans portation facilities have been lacking. This has retarded the more rapid de- velopment of this important industry.
 The road will also tap in Middle and South Sumter an exceptionally fine fruit and vegetable section already being ex- plotted to a profitable degree.
 The citizens of Cuba, not far from the point where the new road will cross the Alabama Great Southern, are now build ing a large canning factory for the pres ervation of the surplus fruits and vege- tables that are annually grown in the community. The increased shipping fa- cilities will enhance the importance of this industry to large extent.
 MT. Cochran's railroad enterprise is just now one of the most important industrial movement in the state
 Most of the towns of Alabama, big and little, will vote on their new officers today.
 At most of the places nominations have already been made in primaries but at many others there will be lively contests 06tWeen TWO or IHOTe CdHoiodlcs
 In Birmingham and the other larger cities of the state the election will be a formal affair without sensation, but out in the country many of the Saturday afternoon towns will present most In teresting contests with many candidates striving for the various offices from mayor down to marshal.
 In some of the smaller towns of Ala bama there are as many as five candi- dates for mayor and in some of them 1o and 20 prominent citizens are scramb- ling for aldermanic honors and the ap- purtenances appertaining.
 Some of the biggest contests are in the smallest towns.

is mature and cannot be hurt by frost. In southern Texas, southern Georgia and Louisiana estimates on the matured cot ton run so to 100 per cent. In Oklahoma and Arkansas the crop appears taller than elsewhere. Some of the Oklahoma reports say that early complaints of damage by boil worm were overstated. although 1t is evident that the promise is not quite as brilliant as at one time indi- cated.
 In general larger yield than last year is indicated in all states except Geor- gia, South Carolina and North Carolina In the two latter a late frost would add considerably to the yield.
 It Is shown that considerable benefit to the crop has accrued in central and mid- dle western Texas as a result of rains during the first week of September.
 The making of top crop will depend, however, upon late frost.
 Farmers are generally marketing cotton freely.

Judge Lee has been taking treatment all summer and is improved In health. There will be a heavy criminal docket and the September term of court will prove a very busy one and Judge Lee will doubtless make an effort to clear the docket as nearly as possible as this will be the last term at which he will preside.

 CAMPAIGN CLOSES
BAPTIsTS ADOPT RESOLUTIONS CALLING ON LEGISLATURE TO HANDS OFF PROHIBITION LAWS

1 Huntsville, September S.-(Special.) J. The municipal election will be held here | tomorrow and interest in the result is so keen that 1t is believed an unusually | large vote will be boiled. A mayor, pres ident of the council and two aldermen from each of the four wards of the city will be elected. Interest centers in the race for mayor between City Attorney R. E. Smith and former Councilman Muse Shields, who are running a neck and-neck race. M M. Cantrell and J.. Peyton Fuller, Jr, are running a close race for the presidency of the council. The Liberty Baptist association, which held its annual meeting at Fairview chtrch on the border line of Limestone and Madison counties, has adopted a res- olution requesting the legislature of Ala bama not 10 repeal the statewide prohi- bition laws. The same officers of the as sociation were reelected for another year. R. E. Bettus of Huntsville is mod orator and Perry Henderson of Athens is clerk. Several prominent preachers from other points were present and every Baptist church in Limestone and Madison counties was represented. The Rev. R. s. Gavin of Huntsville heads the new executive board. Oakley church. near Plevna was chosen as the place of next meeting.

A dipper half full of some liquid was found on the mantlepiece, and it is believed that it contained poison. The coroner was notified and an inquest will be held. Miss Hayes formerly lived in Beans Creek, Tenn.
 The police are puzzled over. the at tempted assassination of John l.. Phillips at his home on Walker street a night or two ago, and so far no trace of the miscreant has been secured. At first it was thought that MT. Phillips had been shot by a chicken thief, who was sur- prised at their thievery, but additional facts that have come to light indicate that MT. Phillips was lured out on his
