LOCAL OPTIONISTS
 HAVE CLEAR FIELD

Huntsville, March 2S.-(Special. )--There will be no fight between the prohibition and local option factions here on the legislative ticket to be chosen in the pr- mary of May 2. Senator Spragns has had no opposition and two local option candidates for the legislature will be unopposed. The local optionists had nom- mated Shelby S. Fletcher and Mayor Thomas w. Smith as their men, and the fact that the names of Robert T. Lawler and J. Frank Power were presented for the same offices led to the presumption that they were going to run as prohi- bitionists. Lawler says he wants dis pensary and all the other candidates the same so there was no reason for a fight. Thomas w. Smith and J. Frank Power have drawn out of the race and, the whole delegation that will so to the legislature from Madison county will work for the repeal of the statewide prohibition laws and ask that liquor dispensary be established here, the same as was in operation when the prohibi- ion law went into effect

Loss OF APPROXIMATELY s5O0O RE- SUITS FROM FIRE-SURvEY BE- ING MADE FOR NEW ELECTRIC CAR LINE

Gadsden, March 2S.-(SpeciaL) )-Fire
 early yesterday morning destroyed three
 brick business rooms at the corner of
 Broad and Third streets. The buildings
 were old one-story affairs and the loss
 wilt not be great. The fire originated in
 the store of c. E. Gay, who ran a re- pair shop for bicycles and typewriters and sold small musical instruments. The
 loss will not exceed s5000 or s6O0O, which is partly covered by insurance There
 are some suspicious circumstances that
 indicate an ineendiary origin of the con- | fagration.

 not ready to give out any details of the
 undertaking. Attalla people have large
 real estate holdings around the steel plant
 and the car line is to be a means of de-
 veloping this and at the same time make
 it more convenient for those employed
 at the plant to reach Attalla as a place TOT homes and to do their trading. | The paving company that has the con- tract for the paving of the business sec | ton of the city this morning started lay | ing the brick on Fourth street The | work is being pushed very rapidly dur | ing the days of favorable weather and | if this continues the contract will be | completed within a few weeks.

CALHOUN COUNTY
 ELECTION RESULTS

Anniston. March 2S.-(Special) )-With 24 out Of 2S precincts to be heard from, as 8 result of today's democratic county pr- mary, E. F. Crook, who had no oppos- ton, is given a complimentary vote for probate judge, and I. E. Watson leads W. A. Orr for clerk, of the circuit court by 466 votes. T. F. Brooks leads the race for sheriff by S51 votes over D. c. Good let, who will run the race off on May I. the date of the state primary. As the election was held under the plurality plan. this was the most interesting race of all.
 The strength of w. Z Parker was the surprise of the election. Goodlett and his son, b. W. Goodlett, were strong anti amendists, and were regarded as among the strongest political factors in the county, while Parker was an ardent amender. C. T. Brooks, who led the ticket, was a defender, though not ag- gressive. while J. T. Rowland, tail-ender, was an amender
 The vote as a whole stood as follows:
 Brooks, 909; Parker, 654 Goodlett, 65S; Rowland, 419.
 The race for commissioner will be run off by C. c. Morgan and J. C. Chandler
 
 In the First district, and " M. Groggan and NJ. N. Coker in the Third district. The vote for this place stood as follows:
 First district: Morgan. S69; Wright, 509; Anderson, 247; Defreese, 256. Third dis trict: Groggan S55; Coker, 731; Downing, e61: T. w. Francis, Jr., 290; W. M Grog- gan, 85.
 The result shows that anti-amendists were nominated in almost every instance, the case of w. M. Groggan being an ex- scptiou.
 Considering that the republican, vote was eliminated, the ballot is considered large. In the amendment election 26S7 votes were cast. while in the present election Judge E. F. Cook, the only un- opposed candidate, has 2436 up to the present.
 The republicans will put out a ticket on a dispensary platform, and oppose nearly every man In the race. They think they will make strong race.
