TO START ON SCHOOL
AT EAST BIRMINGHAM

The East Birmingham sch DOL will be
ordered constructed at meeting of
the Board of Education to be h ED to-
morrow night.
John L. Parker, president of the
Board of Education, issued call last
night for the meeting and he stated
that the best plan looking to imme
date beginning of work would be
agreed upon.
The East Birmingham school bids
were advertised for and received sew
eral weeks ago. However the two
lowest bids were not accompanied by
the usual certified checks and for that
reason the work was not, awarded. Mr..
Parker stated last night that the con-
structon of the school was impera-
tive and some definite plan must and
would be agreed upon at the meeting
to be held tomorrow night.
The board will convene in the High
school at s o'clock m, rather than
at noon as heretofore Mr. Parker
states that a full attendance Is de-
sired and for this reason the hour
has been changed.
In addition to this matter contracts
will be awarded for the installation
of plumbing and electrical equipment
at the Barker school, and the plumbing
contract for the East End negro school
will be let.

MINER SHOT WHILE
IN HIS BACKYARD

A mysterious shooting In which Frank
Smith, miner, was the victim, occurred
about $3.50 O'Clock yesterday morning at
Lewisburg. The scene of the shooting
was In the back yard of the residence of
Justice of the Peace Ira Dement, with
whom Smith boarded.
Smith had gotten out of bed and stepped
into the back yard in his night clothes.
He was about 30 feet from the house when
two shots rang out, one striking him and
rendering him unconscious for while.
The shots awakened others in the house,
who rushed into the yard and found Smith
lying upon the ground.
The wound he received was in the right
shoulder, just above the lung, but is not
regarded as serious. He recovered in
short while after the shooting and his ac-
count of the affair was that he was
little distance from the house when he no.
ticed two men standing by the fence and
closer to the house than he was.
An effort was made to trail the men
with ploodhounds by Deputy Sheriff Bev-
erly Chew, who went to the scene early
yesterday morning Immediately after the
shooting. The dogs followed the trail for
a mile and half before they lost 1t.
1t is believed by Judge Dement, that the
shots were intended for him.

But six DAYS remain in which the can
didates for city offices may complete
their canvass, for they will be called
to stand or fall at the polls next Mon
day.
Up to this time the voters have main.
tanned that careless interest, talking poll
tics occasionally, but wasting little time
at meetings and waiting for the candi-
dates to call around.
The overabundance of politics this year
has tired the average citizen, but he re-
allies that the coming primary is one o.
great Importance to Birmingham and Is
keeping one eye on the situation while he
attends to his business.
Although charges of ring rule" and
various other campaign arguments of a
sensational nature have been advanced,
The meetings have been SHINY attended,
and the exciting beginning soon lost its
interest An army of candidates usually
make up over half an audience.
There were only about 100 voters in the
audience at the Gayety theatre last night,
although a number of prominent citizens
attended including Henry B. Gray
1t was Carl Seals meeting, and made
up of his supporters, for they cheered
him enthusiastically. He made his usual
business talk, indorsing the commission
form of governmention and municipal
ownership. He seemed to score the great
est hit with the audience by his promise
to fight for a scent car fare to Ensley
and his condemnation of low down, dirty
politics." which he said had been used in
