NEWS OF INTEREST FROM ASHVILLE
Courthouse Issue About to Be Brought Up-Politics Begin to
 Warm Up

Ashvie, November 19. 9.(-SpeciaD The courthouse issue is about to be brought out, owing to the condemning of the Pell City jail a few days ago. Some think that one courthouse is enough, but owing to the past elections 1t Is nearly impossible to get enough voters to sign @ petition to call an election The court houses at Ashville and Pell City will remain if an election is held because the shape of the county is so that 1t suits this sytem best. To repair two county jails would be only a small cost. as com pared with the building of new court house and a jail in the central part of the county. The Ashvile jail was condemned some time ago and some repairs have been made. The Pell City jail was condemned by MT. Oates only a few days ago and the prisoners were removed to Birmingham. To hold four terms of circuit court at two places does not cost any more than to hold four terms at one place.
 The Farmers union of this county offer Cd three prizes to the boys who would raise the most corn to the acre. The prize winners are Walter Lovall, first prize: Bill Rogers, second prize; Will Steinkoff. third prize. The Farmers
 union of this county will offer more prizes this next year. The boys of the St. Clair County High sckool at Odenville will be one of the schools of the county to have Boys Corn club next year. There will also be a Tomato club formed by the girls of the same school.
 The county politics are beginning to warm up this far ahead of the election, and it is very sure that the coming elec- tion will be a closely contested one. c. c. Montgomery has announced for tax collector w. E. Braden for treasurer; B F. Hammond and s. c. Pucket for superintendent of education of the county. Several others are considering their an- nouncements.
 The work on the Ragland Water Pow CT company will begin about the first of January. Martin H. Lide of Birming ham is now preparing plans and specif1ca- tions for the raising of the dam and the building of water power plant on the Coosa river at lock 4. The contract will be let as soon as the engineer can submit the plans and the bids on the contract received.
