Have Been Polluted

| Admission, January 29.-(Special )-While
the republicans who have been wont to
vote in the democratic primaries on local
and state issues are disappointed at the
| raising of the bars by the Calhoun coun-
| ty executive committee of the democratic
| party in session here Wednesday. the
| candidates as a whole seem to be satis-
fled with the adoption of the majority
plan and the selection OF the same days
as provided for the state elections
Calhoun has seldom deviated from the
majority plan, and the fact that there
are three candidates for sheriff, three
for probate judge and three for the legis-
lature, with a probability of more, in
the race, afforded good reason to con-
tinue the old precedent.
The subcommittee is at work on the
assessments and the race is now under
way in this county. Solicitor w. C. Tun-
stall announced for reelection Thursday
and the announcement of Judge Thomas
w. Coleman is expected in few days.
Neither of these men Will likely be op-
posed Mr.. Mccain of oxford stated
Thursday that he will probably run for
the legislature and J. H. Edmondson,
who resigned as chairman of the county
committee, is expected to announce soon.
The race for probate judge is now con-
fined to DR.. j. f. Rowan, John NJ. Crook
and W. II. Griffin, County Treasurer j.
p. Weaver having withdrawn.
There will be a public meeting of the
members of the Parent-1eachers' asso-
ola tion al the Calhoun county Courthouse
on Friday evening of February 6. at
which time anyone who has an objection
to the Admission public school system will
have to register his complaint or forever
after hold his peace. The school authori-
ties have been especially invited to at
tend the meeting.
A meeting of all the Odd Fellow lodges
in Calhoun county, % In number, will
be held in this city on February IS at
request of the grand master Fred j.
Cramton, who will be present to instruct
the members in degree work. 1t is prob
able that candidates win be present for
initiation on that occasion.
The members of the Calhoun county
board of education have virtually said to
the city of Anniston, physician, cure thy
SELF a difference having arisen over the
enforcement of rule adopted sometime
ago making a physicians certificate q
prerequisite to teaching in the public
schools. the object being to prevent the
employment of any teacher who might be
affected with tuberculosis.
When the matter of the nonenforcement
of the law was called TO the attention of
the school authorities, they cited the fact
| that the board of censors appointed to
| examine the teachers are all city men
| and that the cities have not~>adopted
| similar rules. Until this is DONE the coun-
ty authorities will not take steps to en-
| force the rule. thus working a discrimi-
! nation against the country teachers.
| r. l.. Robinson and Scott Roberts presi-
| dent and secretary-treasurer of the Wood
stock cotton mills have substantially ac-
| cused the city of Anniston of maintaining
| a nuisance and this has brought about
| the question as to whether or not the city
can summon itself TO court and answer
! to itself for the alleged offense
| The sanitary precautions at the city
wagon yard are said to be very bad and
! the drainage is such that it is said to have
! injured the water of the famous Wood
any person who drinks of this water will
| forever afterward be an Annistonian at
\ heart and eventually return to the city.
/ The attention of the mayor has been
called to the complaint, and he is maxi
| ing an investigation to place responsibility
where it belongs and correct the evil.
