TALLADEGA WANTS
TO Be UP TO DATE
Investigating Police Depart
ment-AnOther Newspa-
per Is Rumored

Talladega. July 13.-tSpecial) )-Tallade-
ga has a full hedged investigation of its
police department on. The Good Gov
ernment club" is a voluntary organiza-
tion of this city which takes an active in
terest in municipal affairs and a commit
tee of this club appeared before the city
commission at its Friday evening session,
asking for an investigation of the police
department upon charges of 'fneffiicency
and probable graft" The committee was
headed by j. A. Edwards, the other two
members being E, G. Stringer and C. w.
Stringer, the first named committeeman
being the spokesman for the body. No
specific written charges were at that ses-
sion formulated. The matter was referred
to Commissioner j. +. Hanks, who has
jurisdiction of the police department.
Mr.. Hanks announced that he was will
ing to hold a public investigation, and
would grant one when the charges were
filed with him by the compliments. 1t
is likely that charges will be filed and
the investigation begun during the next
few days A few weeks since a member
of the force was let go by the commits
sion, although the public generally consid-
cred this member as efficient and faith
full.
The condition of j. II. Johnson, presi-
dent of the State d. and d. schools, con-
tinues to give grave apprehension to ms
friends. He is suffering from a weak
heart and does not seem to rally as mucn
as expected A visit to Baltimore failed
to relieve him to any great extent, al
though he is In a slightly better condition
than when he returned. He is of slight
frame and delicate constitution. and the
remedies applied do not seem to greatly
improve his condition.
The citizens of East street south are
doing some kicking because that street
has been closed to traffic for some time
past on account of grading and laying
down the curb and gutter.
Agreementsto lay sidewalks have just
been concluded between the city and the
property owners by which there Will be
concrete walks laid from North to West
street to the federal building and the
south side of Coffee street to Hill street
For reasons seeming good to the city
commission. that body at its last meeting
passed ordinances requiring bonds of the
chief of police. and the sanitary officer.
Both these officials handle city funds and
heretofore no bonds have been required.
The chief was required to make bond In
the sum of $1,000, the bond OF the sanitary
officer being placed at $500.
1t is stated on authority that an organi-
zation is being perfected to establish an
other newspaper for Talladega county.
The purpose of the new publication Will
be to promote farming, commercial and
manufacturing interests, while at the
same time it will indulge in politics as a
