CENTRE FIGHTS TO
RETAIN COURTHOUSE
Cedar Bluff Citizens Call on
0'Neal Seeking TO Have
Removal

Montgomery. September 3o-(Special.)
". \. Clifton and D. y. Williamson Of
Cedar Bluff called on Governor oiNeai
today in reference to the proposed re-
moval of the county seat of Cherokee
county from Centre to Cedar Bluff.
The plan to remove the county seat to
Cedar Bluff was inaugurated by certain
citizens of that town several weeks ago.
and already the governor has talked with
many delegations from Cherokee county
on that subject
Following his conference with the first
delegation, the governor asked attorney
general for an opinion as to his authority
in the matter The attorney general ad-
vised that he could order special elec-
tion and suggested that the governor
send an examiner OF special accounts to
Cherokee county to ascertain whether OF
not a majority of the qualified electors
of the county had signed the petitior~for
an election.
The fight in Cherokee county overs the
courthouse question is said to be. one OF
the livest that has taken place in the
state on a similar subject. Cedar Blum
claims the county courthouse sfAuld be
located there because it is on the railroad,
whereas Centre is off the railroad. On ths
other hand an equally strong fight is be-
ing waged by citizens of Centre to retain
the courthouse.

No change is noted in the fish market.
and no fish are to be had in large guam

and but few fish are getting to the local

The poultry and egg market is un-
