POLITICAL STATUS
IS COMPLICATED
HOT FIGHT PROMISED IN ST. CLAIR
CoUNTY-COMMIssI COURT
WILL TAKE UP MATTERS PER-
TANNING TO ROADS

Pel1 City. August 23.-(Special)-
Sumter Cogswelrs announcement as in
denendent candidate for probate judge
of st. Clair county has added iurther
perplexity to a political situation lhat
was already very complicated. his
platform will appear next Thursoay
in a county paper, covering his views
on national state and local Issues
which will be really the f1rst gun hreo
In the November campaign. Mr.. Cogs-
wells announcement was the result Oh
petitions requesting him to make the
race signed by over 500 qualified voters
which grew out of the dissatisfaction
which exists in the two old partles.
This triangular race for the biggest
office in the county promises 10 re
close and exciting but the character oil
the candidates makes it fairly certain
that few personalities will be INDUCED
in What effect it will have upon the
congressional contest between Burnett
and Howard cannot be predicted at this
time
Newspaper reports from Biz min gh am
are in accord with rumors at this END
and the actions of interested parties.
The Chattanooga Southern railway
seems determined to reach Birming-
ham from Gadsden and indications
point to a right of way down the
Beaver valley interesting with the
Seaboard at Odenville and thence over
the latter's tracks to Birmingham. This
will mean a biz boom at OdenVille,
which is the logical center of ST. Clair
and the high school site, as 1t Will
then be connected both by ebert road
and rail with the two divisions of the
county. Gossip further has it that the
line will be extended to Pell City over
the Coal City division of the Seaboard
and that the B. g. A. to Talladega
may later on figure in a through line
from Chattanooga to the gulf at Mo-
bile.
The commissioners court is in ses-
sion this wee kat Pell City and an
enormous crowd is in town to fight
for certain road improvements desired
in several localities. The bond COM
missioners hold q public meeting here
August "a to decide on how the last
of the bond money will be spent. This
whole section of the country is aroused
over good roads since the county has
recently spent over 100000 on such
improvements. Whenever the people
are given a chance to state their views
to the authorities they come for miles
around and every citizen is his own
spokesman.

PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN
IN THE SISTER STATES

Columbus, Ca. August 23-(Special.)
The Georgia and Alabama Industrial In
dex will say tomorrow in its regular
weekly issue:
1T is an interesting coincidence that
Georgia and Alabama should each launch
paigns at practically the same moment.
In Georgia, where the movement origi-
mated some months ago. the sentiment
that the state should advertise its re-
preston in a practical way through the
efforts of an association quite represen-
tative in its membership. and this asso-
citation has just sent representative
to the middle west to arrange the de-
tails of unique advertising campaign
in that section of the country. The Bir-
mingham Chamber of Commerce has just
decided to call a conference of the COM
mercial bodies of Alabama with the view
of raising the sum of $4,000, through a
state appropra ton preferably, or other
wise II necessary, for the purpose of
telling the world about Alabama" In
connection with this advertising move
ment a state slogan will probably be
adopted by the Alabamians.
THE cause of good roads is march
ing on in the two states, for Crenshaw
county, Alabama, is to vote on the Is
suance Of road bonds, Dallas county. In

EARNINGS OF SOUTHERN

Montgomery, August 23.-(Special)-
Gov. B. B. Conner Is confronted with
a hard task to decide whether or not
the man he appoints to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge j. c.
Richardson of the Second circuit will
hold until 1913, or until the first of
January, when the unexpired term ends.
Attorney General A. M. CARRIER, Capt.
Tyler Goodwin and many others think
he cannot go beyond the first of the
year Judge Thomas G. Jones of the
United States court, former Chief JUS
tice John R. Tyson and Gregory L..
Smith of Mobile hold that the term
goes over two years.
Under section 15S of the constitution
1t is provided that in filling vacancies
in judicial appointments the appointee
held at least six months after the va
cancy occurs. The November election
comes within half year after the
vacancy hence 1T is argued that any
man appointed will hold to the next
general election, which will be in 1918.
The words of the constitution are: I'm
til the next general election for any
state office held at least six months
after the vacancy occurred"
Among the candidates for the place
are D. NJ. Powell of Greenville and
John d. Burnett of Evergreen.
1t Is of great importance that Greg
DRY l. Smith. who holds to the 1918
Idea, was chairman of the Judiciary
committee that drafted the constitu-
tional provision.

Shelby Springs, August 23.--(Special)-
Eighty-six guests were registered at the
Springs yesterday and still they come. 1t
is said that where six were crowded in
last night there will be 10 tonight. Per-
fact good humor reigns as it is under
stood that everything possible is being
done for their comfort and the crowd
but adds to the fun.
A question was raised yesterday wheth-
err to dance or not to dance, but it never
grew beyond a question, as the point was
gracefully yielded and there will be no
dancing while the meeting Is on. AS a
substitute society is making candy and
roasting sweet potatoes on 1.-The light
stands.
The opening address this morning was
by Harry L. Strickland Of Memphis Tenn.
He will deliver a series of lectures on
Sunday school work His subject today
was THE Organized School. WhyY' First,
because it was Gods plan, second, 1t was
Christ's plan. He asked the audience to
repeat with him the first and the last
verses of Genesis and called their atten-
ton to the fact that God did net rest
until the work was done. He spoke of the
5000 being divided into fifties before they
were fed upon the loaves and fishes, and
the 70 being sent out to preach two by
two, showing that systematic organiza-
ton was the foundation of everything
from creation down.

Colonel Mallory Presides

H. S. D. Mallory presided over the
aymens meeting, but the general opin-
ion seems to be that laymen do not move
very fast Mr.. Mallory said that the
example of the women, who had done
so much along this line had been the in
spiration of the laymsn. DIR. Palmer OF
the Montevallo Industrial school did not
think that even the women had done what
they could. He also urged organization,
in fact this seemed the keynote of the
meeting today.
The address of Dr. W. o. Carver, pro-
lessor of missions, Southern Theological
seminary, Louisville KY, was beautiful
and instructive. The first three chapters
of Paurs Epistle to the Thessalonians, he
said, had been called by his dearest
friend "Paul's love-making to saints in
Thessalonia. Many among his hearers
said they would read those chapters to-
night.
Professor A. P. Montague of Howard
college was on the grounds today.
Dr. Gavin's address was eloquent and
witty. He seems to think IL the mansions
prepared above are erected out of the ma
terials we have supplied many of US Will
be cramped for all eternity. He said one
could not spell pray without spelling

tention to the praying side would turn

Pension Payments

AS a result of the misunderstanding
and annoyances growing out of quarterly
payments to the old soldiers of their pen
sions, there is a prospect that the next
session Of the legislature may put it back
to once year. The lump sum is always
a good looking thing to those who are
thus the wards Of the state and the
records show that 1t makes much less
trouble. Not far from 500 year Is now
coming to the needy ones and this will
be fully that much with the increase in
the taxes, so that it is thought by many
to be good policy to get back to the
old once-a-year arrangement

Must Gut the Rolls

The statement is made from all sides
that the Alabama pension rolls must be
culled. There are many, very many.
drawing pensions who have no sort of
right to do so, and every dollar paid
whore 1t ought not to be paid takes that
much from some old and needy one who
has real right. 1t is estimated that
with strict construction of the law the
rolls might be cut down a third, and it
takes no hard calculation to see that In
this way the amounts would run well up
for those who ought to be in this way
taken care Of. A number of propositions
are now pending and will go to the law
makers whereby the lists may be culled
and the pensioners who need and should
be helped will get their just dues.
