The ground is being surveyed and the excavation lines for the buildings marked. It Is not known when active work will be started on the erection of the several buildings, but the general belief is that it will be only matter of a few weeks This new industry will add a large amount to the local pay rolls and will mean the employment of many additional men. They will erect most modern plant for the manufac- ture of tar paper and roofing material and other coal by-products.

CAPT. BLACKWELL
 SEEMS CONFIDENT
Since Almon Withdrew Richardson Will Be
 Blackwell's Opponent

Decatur, January 9O-(Special. )-Since the withdrawal of Judge E. B. Almon from the congressional race this leaves the field open to Judge William Rich ardson and Capt. sam Blackwell. Al present Judge Richardson is in Wash ington, D. C., attending to his official duties and, from what can be learned, it is doubtful if he makes any speeches in the campaign at all, as his actions seem to indicate tha. he doesn't deem speech making necessary for his nom ination.
 A good many we'll informed party men say that Judge Richardson has d num- Der of large odds in the race over Cap tain Blackwell. One thing is that Judge Richardson is already ''in." Another req son is, and doubtless a strong one, too. there are number of other men in the district who would like to go to Con eress. These men are younger than Judge Richardson. Therefore, if Judge Richardson is returned ito Congress these prospective candidates would stand a better show to be nominated in the fu- t1lre than if Captain Blackwell went to Congress. The influence of these men would be a strong card for Judge Rich ardson.
 There are seven counties in the dis tr.ct and Judge Richardson's friends fig ure that he will carry Madison, Lime stone, Colbert, Lauderdale without ques- ton and will also run very strong Tn the other counties Of the district.
 Captain Blackwell will make number of speeches over the district and will make a strong campaign. He says he is confident of the nomination.

CAPT. J. (. CHENEY ANNOUNCES

From the Hayneville Citizen Examiner.
 Capt. John C. Cheney, at present chief clerk in the office of the commissioner of agriculture, has announced his candi- dacy for game and fish commissioner, the position now held by the Hon. John II. Wallace of Madison.
 Captain Cheney was chief clerk under Captain kolb when the latter was first commissioner of agriculture, and has a host of friends all over Alabama who will be glad to vote for him for the position for which he has announced, Captain Cheney has the reputation of being d thorough business man and If elected would immediately take steps to rejuvenate this department which seems to need it about as badly as any de- partment in the state. All of the other departments show an increase in the amount of money brought into the state, but this department seems to be gradual ly dwindlng down: in fact, it has reached the point where it will take a man of Captain Cheneys executive ability to put it back on a paying basis.

Abercrombie Also Popular in County Prominent Cullman Man Found Dead in Field Monday, Death
 Due to Heart Failure

Csu1lman. January 30.-(Special) )-State Senator Victor B. Atkins of Selma, who is q candidate for congressman from the state at large, was in Cullman recently and spoke in the interest of his race for that position. Senator Atkins was very enthusiastic over the outlook for his cleo ton and assured his friends in Gullamn that he felt sure of winning the victory
 Among other things that has been done In the interest of Mr. Atkins is the organ ization of an Atkins Democratic club, which has been formed in Cullman to promote the interest of Major Atkins in his race for Congress in Cullman county. The club has for it's president M. l.. Robertson. mayor of Cullman, a prominent banker and politician; J. D. Seracy has been selected as the secretary of the or ganization. It is the purpose of this club to make a thorough canvass in the county for his interest.
 John W. Abercrombie, former state sup erintendent of education, is very strong ill this county and has many friends here, and his friends in Cullman intend to form d club for the promotion of his interest for the same office. Some action along this line will be taken at an early date.

 The body was discovered by his wife, who had joined in the search for him, and from appearances the man had been dead three or four hours. There were no marks of violence on the body, and 1t Is believed that his death is result of heart failure.

Maine, Senator LaFollette occupied seat on the democratle side far removed from his colleagues. He now occupies the seat vacated by the late senator from Maine which is one of the best in the House. on the second row and next 10 the mid dle aisle.
 By the way, 1t may interest Birming ham admirers of oscar Underwood to know that Underwood and James are the most cordial personal friends. When the latter appeared on the floor last Saturday after several days absence he was warmly greeted by the democratic leader. The marked cordiallty between them was noticeable.
 Those who would welcome q breach among the democrats at one time during the special session tried to make some thing of an apparent split between these two men but the split did not develop. MT. James is true and loyal democrat and man of good sense. Mr. Under wood will allow nothing to come between himself and his colleagues on the floor and stay there.
 His ability to heal wounds and organize forces is something wonderful.
