He also congratulated the county on having, so he understood, no cases Of capital offenders. J. A. Black was chosen foreman of the grand jury.

 Prepare for Reunion--ConneiIy's Wound Not serious-Barns Burn at Big Loss

Anniston, November 1.-(Special. .)-Stale Senator Fred L. Blackmon, the democrat ic nominee for Congressman from this district, has just returned from an ex- tended tour of the district, and he says that he has no doubt in the world that the Fourth is safely to be counted in the democratic column in the coming fall cleo tions.
 MT. Blackmon's tour comprised the counties of Talladega, Cleburne and Shell by. He has also received authentic re- ports from Dallas, which warrant the be- lief that that county will go democratic by 15W or 2OOo votes. A safe margin is looked for in Shelby; Cleburne is counted on giving almost the usual majority, de- spite the fact that it is being made a re- publican storm center, while Talladega county is expected to give a majority of about 200O for the democratic candidates.
 Concerning his own candidacy, MT. Blackmon is equally optimistic. His op- ponent, J. M. Atkins of Hefin, Cleburne county. is making an aggressive cam paign, but MT. Blaclxmon says that he an- ticipates the normal majority, If not an even larger majority than that given the democratic nominee
 The republicans are making their final stand this week. Last Saturday evening D. H. Smith, assistant postmaster, and Fred D. Noble, candidate for state sena- tor. spoke at Boiling Springs. They are making an effort to bring some big guns to the county this week and will wage an aggressive fight in the effort to overcome the democratic lead.

 That Franklin county can have good roads and that without making a large appropriation for the purpose of issuing county bonds is now being demonstrated by J. Gaisser, superintendent of public roads of Franklin county MT. Gaisser has given contracts according to the road law for Franklin county, which was adopted at the last session of the state legislature, for the working and keeping in repair of the roads, and since the contractors have commenced work in earnest the roads are presenting a fine appearance. He is overseeing greater part of the work himself, thus assuring the work done according to contract. The road known as the military road has been graded up and the only thing necessary now to have a first-class macadamized road is to apply the limestone rock. All this work is being done without a cent of money other than the regular road tax and a small wheel tax which every owner of vehicle Is required to pay.
