TO BEGIN DOUBLE
 TRACKING IN MARCH
Contractor Getting Things in Shape Around Hartselle-COttOn Mar
 ket Develops Activity

Hartselle February 13.-(Special)- Chas. Shanahan who is in charge of the work contracted by the l.. & N. railroad company to c. G. Kershaw x O. for building and double tracking that part of the road bed through IIartselle as far as Leesdale. south, is now on the ground looking after supplies and labor
 Messrs T. E. Brooks, Superintendent Courtney, Chief Engineer T. e. Harrison and Robt. Weaver, master of trains, spent couple of hours yesterday in IIartselle looking over the situation. Ac- tive work win begin March 1.
 lIartselle and surrounding country will furnish many laborers but quite num- Der will come with Kershaw & Co. and as it will require two years to complete this work it means a bunch of money turned loose in this market Local trade already feels the impetus.
 The cotton market developed much ac- tivity Tuesday on account of the best cotton bringing 10 cents. Main street was so crowded with wagons it was almost impossible to get through except on foot. Many are holding for a still higher price but the majority would sell at 10 cents if the roads were in condition to bring it to market. The Farmers Union Ware house has less than fifty bales stored

REDUCE SALARY 0F
 TREASURER $500
Bullock County Commits siOners Meet at Union
 Springs

Union Springs, February 13.-(Special)- An important meeting of the county com- missioners of Bullock county was held today.
 Among other things resolution was passed reducing the salary of the county treasurer from s6oo to $30o per year. This matter has been under consideration for some time past, and it seems that the change meets with the approval of the citizens generally. There is very little work to be done by the treasurer of this county and it has been the opinion of many that the salary should be consider ably reduced.
 The commissioners also passed a reso- lution setting aside 5000 from the county s funds for the construction of roads for the purpose of securing a like amount from the state, under the law enacted by the recent legislature. The probate judge was instructed to make application for the 5000 from the state Bullock county now has many miles of first class high ways and besides the regular construc- tion gangs two squads are now busy re. pairing the roads built last year.
