her WILL" he exclaimed. But papa-in-
law is very foxy. indeed. The bride
was spirited upstairs to Papa Lushear's
attorneys office. two floors over the
court
In the court pas attorney said the
most dreadful things about the BRIDE

 The suit grows out of msunderstand- ing between the cities of Anniston and Oxford with reference to a tapping agree ment, which is said to have been made between the late R. P. Thomson of OK ford, then mayor of Oxford, and the late to tap the Anniston sewer main and pay 5000 as a bonus, while Anniston was to tap Oxfords main for the purpose of extending water to the people of the Fifth ward. Oxford claims to have a proviso to the effect that the city's water pres sure was not to be reduced by the tapping but this was not incorporated in the contract ratified by the city coun- ell of Anniston Hence the S1000 bonus was held up and suit inaugurated.
 The Calhoun Baptist association, which of this county, met Tuesday at Beth- lehem church. near Oxford.

FERTILIZER COST MAY bE CHEAPENED New System for Producing Ammonia Has Been
 Discovered

New York. September 11.--An announce ment of special interest to farmers in that it may cheapen the cost of fertilizers was made here today by Prof. Hofrat B"rnth- sen, a German scientist lecturing before tee eighth international chemical con- gress. He explained that a system had been discovered in Germany for the syn thetic or artificial manufacture of ann monia by the uniting of nitrogen anI hydrogen.
 The ammonia is prepared. ne sad, by passing the gases through a tube con taining a substance for promoting re- action at a temperature of about 9J0 de- grees fahrenheit and under pressure Of 150 atmospheres.
 As ammonia is extensively used in the manufacture of ice and in the prepa alton Of fertilizers, notably ammonium sul- Ihate, Dr. I,ernthsen predicted that it's synthetic preparation was an important step forward in scientific achievement. inasmuch as it's components-n'tr ana hydrogen--may be obtained from water and air. respectively at negligible cost. The worlds consumption of ammonia for 1911 was estimated in value at sSop0.0oo.

 Thereupon the company with one accord entered upon an approving acclaim. An hour was spent at the Country club. Later the party halted at the Southern club It was 10 o'clock when the University club was entered.

PAVE SQUARE WITH ASPHALT CONCRETE The Talladega Commission
 Passes Ordinance PROTESTS ENTERED Property Owners Along East Street Declare City Should Bear Half of
 Cost as Is the Case With
 Paving Public Square

Talladega. September 11.-(Special)- The members of the city commission met Tuesday evening and passed the ordinance in reference to paving the public square and East street The character of paving to be used is as phalt- concrete. On the public square the city will bear one-half the ex- pense of the paving, but on East street the entire cost is to be charged to the property owners.
 Protests were made to this action of the board by the Southern railway, the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad, and a number of property owners on East street. The grounds of the protest were substantially that the character of paving selected was too ex- pensive, and that the city should be as fair to property owners of East street as to property owners on the public square, and If one-half the expense was to be paid in one instance, 1t should also be borne as to East street own CTS, but the commissioners do not see it that way.
 Noted Church Case
 The noted Peace Baptist church case was submitted to City Judge Cecil Browne on Wednesday morning on eX- captions to masters report, and motion to confirm the report. The report of Special Master May was in favor of the Barton faction. The papers in the case are very voluminous. Both parties were allowed five days longer to file briefs and arguments. Judge Browne an nounced that because of a pressure of cases already in his hands it would be week or more before he could ar rive at a decision in this case

 Although it is but five days until the municipal election for a vacant com missionership, paying a salary of s90O, and although there are five candidates for the place, yet it seems impossible to get up any interest in the race Many citizens when asked about it say that they have not decided who they will vote for. The indifference of yot- CTS to this race seems singular, as Tal- ladega usually has a red hot race for any municipal position.
