and himself, was one of fitness based on
their respective records of accomplish

people of Alabama desire me to stay on
the job. Therefore, Monday will find me

matter of greater Importance that the
democracy be indicated than that 1 be
elected senator of the United States.'

Commencing Sunday the Ensley Public
library will be open to the public every
Sunday afternoon from 3 to o'clock and
Will also remain open during the week
from until o'clock, the closing dur
ing the supper hour to be discontinued.
This action was decided on at the meet
ing of the library board held yesterday
afternoon and is the result of the efforts
of Prof. d. NJ. Lewis, the Ensley mem-
ber of the board, who has been active in
having the library open on Sunday after
moons. This is the first time the library
has been open on Sunday since it was
opened several years ago.
In speaking of the matter, Mr.. Lewis
stated that 1t was the opinion of many
that the library should be open on Sun
Gay to give those who were employed
during the week an opportunity to make
use of it. He said that there We're num-
hers of people in Ensley who have no
pace to go on Sunday afternoon and
that the time could be put to profit by
use of the library. The opening on Sun
day afternoon has been in vogue in Biz
mineham for sometime Miss Jean Gadilhe
of Wylam will have charge of the library
