Buys Hot Blast From Att lanta Capitalist
CAMP SITE SELECTED
Captain Smith. Decides on Location Near Union Foundry-150 Square Acres Will Be Needed-Har-
 mon Got But One Vote

Anniston. April 7.-fSpeciaL)-A deal has just been closed here by which H. NJ. Ayers. who has been news ed itor of the Anniston Evening Star and correspondent for a number of met ropolitan dailies for the past 10 years, takes over the property of the An niston Hot Blast. the citys pioneer daily, which will continue to be oper- ated as morning paper.
 The paper was purchased from c. V. Rainwater, publisher. we'll known coca cola man of Atlanta. who pur- chased the paper several years ago and placed 1t in charge of his brother-in- law, w T. Edmondson Jr. The deal was made through J. H. Edmondson, acting treasurer. and sir Ayers has actively assumed charge of the paper as editor and general manager
 The Hot Blast has been inseparably connected with the growth of Annls- ton and it's name is significant, having come from the daily blasts at the An niston furnaces, around which the pres ent city of Anniston was built While this name has been considerably dis cussed throughout the country on ac- count of it's being so unique, 1t has been generally regarded as an apt one when the conditions were understood.
 The paper has exercised a wide in- fuence in its day and has been edited by such well known men as John Tenn pie Graves, now editor of the Atlanta Georgian; Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturers Record, and oth- CTS who have since become famous.
 The mana cement of the paper has all ready started a crusade for increased circulation and contemplated consider able improvements in the near future. II is proposed to take on a telegraph service later and reorganize the papers correspondents.
 Camp Site Selected

Smith of the Seventeenth Unitea States infantry, Fort McPher- son, near Atlanta, who has been in Anniston for several days for the pur- pose of selecting a site for the pro posed maneuver camp In this city, has decided on a location to the west of the plant of the Union Foundry com pany.
 This site is near the old Camp Shipp Sltei WHICH was alSO TeSafQeu as Ia vorable by Captain Smith, 10000 sol diers having been located there during the Spanish American war. Captain Smith says he will recommend the site selected and believes that his recom- mendation will be accepted. He says that about 15O acres will be needed for the camp proper and about 30 square miles for the maneuvers Tho location decided upon is admirably adapted to the needs. he says, and there is no danger of trouble in case of foods. as has been the case m Texas.
 Harmon Got One Vote
 Harmon 1 and Oscar Underwood PISA is the way the official count of last Mondays primary shows the presiden- tial situa tion; and as an evidence of the popularity of Mir. Underwood in this county 1t is notable that while he received PISA votes. the highest cast for any candidate in the county was 2743, the vote of Coroner Murphy. Congress- man Blackmon, who was also unou- posed, received 2642 votes.
