Central and Woodlawn
High Schools Soon

1T is gratifying to the people of Biz
u mingham that ground will soon
be broken for the Central High school
to cost seven hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars on the site of the build
ing that was destroyed by fire, and
for the Wo>dlawn High school, to cost
two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars.
Bids for these two spacious edifices
will be opened December 1, and it is
expected that the work on both build
ings will be started. early in 1920.
The site of the Central has been en-.
larged and the new building will b
one of the most impressing in ths
south. The Woodlawn school shoulc
be completed in twelve or fifteer
months from the time of breaking
ground, but the Central will require
something like two years in construc
ton.

PROMINENT MINISTERS Be.
GAN CAREER IN this DISTRICT
Two Of the Most Prominent Ministers
In the Southern Baptist Conyen.
tion, Now Advanced In Years,
Here to Attend Bracken
Association.

Two of the most prominent minis
ters in the Southern Baptist Conven-
ton passed through Maysville this
morning en- route to Germantown to
attend the annual session OF the
Bracken Association of Baptists as a
sort OF home coming. Both Of these
ministers began their ministerial ca
reer in the bounds of Bracken Associa-
tion and have not returned in many
years.
These men are DR.. ]. Pike Powers,
pastor of the First Baptist Church of
Knoxville, Tenn, and DR.. E. o. Ware,
Secretary of the State Board Of Mis-
sions Of the state of Louisiana and
editor of the Louisiana State Baptist
newspaper.
Besides being pastor OF one of the
largest Baptist churches in the United
States, DR.. j. Pike Powers is an au-
thor Of much note and a famous lee
turer. He began his ministerial ca
reer in this district having been or
dained at the Augusta Baptist church
many years ago. He organized the MI
Sterling Baptist church and had much
to do with the organization of other
churches in this district.
DR.. e. o. Ware, is recognized as one
OF the leaders of the Baptist denomi-
nation in the Southland. He too, be-
gan his pastoral work in this Asso-
citation, being ordained at the Two
Lick Baptist church where the Asso'
citation meets this year.
This visit of these two prominent
ministers is a surprise in way. They
are both here just to look over the
territory where they spent their younE
manhood and their participation in the
annual association meeting will ado
much to making this years meeting
a wonderful success.

SWOpE'S ELECTION
CAUSES SENSATION
IN WASHINGTON
Overturn OF Former Staunch Demo.
cratic District In Kentucky Is
Given Important Inter-
probation.


Washington, August 5.-The cleo
ton of a Republican to Congress In
tho Eighth district of Kentucky to
succeed the late Harvey Helm has Gre
atcd the biggest political sensation of
tho year at the national capital. 1t
was q startling political revesal and is
leading administration .spokesmen to
wonder not only what has happened to
the old Democratic ship but also what
has happened to the League of Ma
tions.
The overturn of this district, which
was considered by Democratic leaders
as reliable in its Democracy as any
district in the country, is given a most
sweeping Interpretation here as indi-
eating not only that the country Is
| tired of Democratic rule nationally
speaking, but is also opposed to the
League of Nations. There is no doubt
political experts say, that the election
in the Eighth Kentucky district turned
on national issues and that the League
or Nations was a considerable factor.
This was the first Congressional
election since President Wilson re-
turned from France with the League
of Nations covenant The boosters of
the league expecting of course, that
the Democratic candidate would be
elected, had made all preparations to
herald his election as the first express
sion of the American people in favor
of the League of Nations, but all their
publicity plans along that line were
knocked in the head when word came
that the Democratic candidate had
been defeated.
King Swope, of Danville, the sue
cessful Republican candidate, is an op-
ponent of the League of Nations cove
nant in its present form and now the
senators who are fighting the league
are getting ready to show that in their
first expression, when they had on op-
portunity to make their views known
at the ballot box, the people have said
they don't want the league, at least In
the form submitted
Republican leaders at Washington
from Chairman Fess, of the Republi
can congressional committee. all alonf
the line, are more elated over the cleo
tion of Mr.. Swope than by anything
that has happened for a long time.
Representative Charles F. Ogden, o
Louisville, expressed the view tina
there is no longer any doubt that Ken
lucky is through with the presen
Democratic national administration.
There is now every assurance tina
Kentucky is coming into the perma
nent Republican column" he said
"This election shows the widespread
general opposition to the Democrats
netional administration that exist
throughout Kentucky and the feelini
that Republican policies are necessar
i. in this critical period in the lif
OF the country. II ever there was a
] election that was won on national is
! sues this was one. Local question
/ scarcely figured at all. I might ad
that there is reflected in this victor
! the splendid capacity of the Republi
. can State campaign chairman. Chesle
