PULLMAN WILL HAVE CANDIDATE
 TO SUCCEED SENATOR SLOAN

Cullman, October 13.-tspecial)--- One of the most talked of propositions among the prominent Cullman county politicians at this time is the question of successor to State Senator James M. Sloan of Oneonta, who recently re- signed that place to accept a federal position as district attorney at Mobile. In case there Is an election called, 1t may be safely relied upon that Cullman will furnish al least one candidate for the place. A number of prominent at torneys of this city have been very fa- vorably spoken of as suitable men for the senatorial tosa-
 Among those who are most promi nently mentioned for the place are $. J. Griffin, F. E. St. John. who defeated George H. Parker for the democratic nomination two years ago; also W. E. James. a young attorney.
 Merchants and business men hero are very hopeful of the outlook for bust ness during the fall season. The fall trade has opened up in good headway, and collection so far among the mer- chants who have done credit business are much better this fall than usual at this time of the year.
 Cullman will possibly ship something like 20,000 bales of cotton this sea sen, which. If prices continue as they have been, will bring more money into te county than the 27,o00 bale crop of last year.
 Aside from the cotton crop. cullman stil! has sweet and Irish potato crops, which in itself Is quite an Item.
 An opening. which promises to show one of the largest veins of coal yet dis covered in this section of Alabama, is now being made on lands owned by Att torney A. A. Griffith, five miles south east of Cullman, on what Is known as the Walter road. The outcroppings of the vein were first discovered in the public road.
 The discovery of this vein of coal has created quite little excitement among the people of Cullman and the imme- diate section. It is believed that this will prove to be the same vein of coal as that at Stout's mountain, which has been mined for the past 12 years and is classed as good as can be found in any of the coal districts of this state
 MT. Griffith has force of men em- ployed at his new mine
 Ignatius Pollak. who suffered the misfortune to lose his handsome home "Borkenau." In West Cullman, short time ago. has begun the work of re- building. The former house that was destroyed by fire was one of. the finest III Cullman, and in fact one of the most costly homes in north Alabama. MT Pollak will now construct a very mod ern bungalow on the site of his former residence the new building to be of stone with tile roof, and as near fire- proof as it is possible to build.
 The Cullman Commercial club will have a. bazaar in Buchanan building some time near the latter part of the year. The articles which will be sold at the bazaar are expected to be do- hated by the public spirited people of Cullman and vicinity. The proceeds
