WHAT IS THE NEED OF ASSESSMENTS? Williams Points Out COun- ties Will Pay Expenses
 of Primaries

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 The last legislature of Alabama enacted primary election law providing that the expenses of any such election, such as the printing of the ballots. payment of election officers, and such like neces- sary expenses, should be paid by the re- spective counties in the state. The pur- pose of this provision that the necessary expenses of the election be paid by the counties was to allow a poor man to run for office by doing away with the heavy assessments usually taxed against candidates to cover expenses, etc. This law applies. as I understand it, to both state and county offices.
 Now, notwithstanding this law, sec that the state executive committee levied the usual assessments against candidates for state offices, such circuit judges, etc. I would not like to be placed in the position of criticising the committee, but l would like to know what the com mittee will do with the money collected under these assessments, and if their ac- ton did not arbitrarily defeat the pur- pose of the primary election law in the respect mentioned? If the county com mittees are to follow suit and abrogate the law by arbitrary action, had not the law as well be repealed? We are soon to have an election in Jefferson county under this primary law, and a good many candidates and voters do not understand this disposition to levy assessments when the county is to pay the expense, and will be pleased if you can do so, to give some explanation of the matter through pour columns Very truly,
 R. l.. WILLIAMS.

 Color to the general belief that the case will be settled in the near future was given when it became known that the alleged indebtedness of the defendant tc state is being investigated again by State Examiner H. Y. Brooke and County Auditor Gwen Gillespie.
 It is understood that as result of that investigation, Judge Camp will settle the matter and that his resignation will go to the governor for acceptance. The gov etnor will very probably accept the resis- nation and the state will retire from the prosecution.

|KRESS COMPANY PLAN ERECT|ONOF A NEW BUILDING Four Story Structure to Be

 ON THIRD AVENUE Structure Will Cost About $50,00O and Will Be Erected as Soon

The S. Fl. Kress company of New York city, which has branch retail stores in this city. will erect a modern fireproof building of four stories on the sites now occupied oy one of their houses and the concern of Cotton, Odum & Bowers along Second avenue, within the near future. according to an official announcement made yesterda yafternoon. Negotiations have just been completed for a 20 year lease of the ground upon which the new structure is to stand, with the proviso that at the expiration of this term, the building is 10 become the property of the owners. Mrs. Florence F. Buck and Charles J. Sharpe of Birmingham
 The Third avenue store. which was orened In 1906 will remain as it is with out any change.
 This will mark the first construction to be raised by the Kress company in this district and is regarded as an estimate of the future of the Magic City, as the investment indicates the immense stock
 
 mand for the next 20 years. The building is to cost in the neighborhood of $5O,90o, and will be in keeping with the archit sc- ture Of the business structures of the most up 10 date type. The plans for the building have not yet been submitted. but it is understood that the department store models will be followed in the arrange ments of the various floors and mezza- hines.
 The present buildings on Second avenue will be torn away as soon as the details of the new struture have been decided upon and the possession of the structure now containing the Cotton, Odum & Bow CTS company has been granted. The lease has three years of existence, but it is ex- pected that another location will be es- abolished by them before the end of this into effec. with the vacancy of this building.
 After a popular and 10 cent trade with Birmingham citizens for the past l2 years. it is a notable event that the origi- nal Kress store opened in Birmingham on Second avenue in 1900. is to be destroyed to care for the growing business in this class Of goods The frontage of this company will then reach 100 feet, with a depth of 140 feet for each store. The Second and Third avenue stores will have an identical floor space of 50 by 40 feet and extend through solid block, as they do now, with alley between them. The number of landlords of the Birmingham interests of the company have been in- creased from three to four by this move The list now includes pr. r. E. Cheek, Mrs. w. J. sanderson, Mrs. Florence Buck and Charles J. Sharpe. The former two own the building and ground of the Third avenue store. while the latter two are owners of the Second avenue sites
