nearly every candidate.
One Day of Speeches.
Even though the party managers
decide to go ahead with the nomi-
mating speeches today. there will be
no balloting, in all likelihood. There
are enough speeches alone to occupy
all Of one day. and anyhow. some of
the men who are up town trying to
break the deadlock want to be in on
the balloting. Nine hundred and some
odd delegates voting, without the
presence of some of the party leaders,
Is not to their liking. Something
might go over. s"..fft.. -.
But casting aside the claims and the
camouflage and disregarding the "in-
side stories" that lurked on every
side, the one bald fact remained that
there are still more than 500 unin-
structed delegates in this convention,
and which way they will turn no man
can say with any degree of certainty.
The unprejudiced observer here
and there are few of them-admit
that regardless of what may happen
tonight or tomorrow, today the
boons are stalemated. None OF them
is making any pronounced or visible
headway against the stonewall OF
Independent voting strength.
1t is confidently predicted that they
will make no such headway until two
ballots have gone into political his
tory. Then, it is believed. the tide
will begin to run in some direction.

DAVIS SCHOOL GIVEN
TWO ROOM BUILDING
County Board Public Instruction
Grants Request at Meeting Held Last
Night.

The citizens of the Davis school
community near Atmore, were granted
a new two room school building by the
County Board of Public Instruction at
a special meeting held last night.
With sixty children in a small one
room building, located in distant and
out of the way place for the commun-
ity, citizens of the Davis school cim-
munity have repeatedly made requests
for new building or for additions to
the old. Their present school building
has several times been condemned and
is inadequate to care for the number of
children attending, which has been in
creased by the compulsory education
law.
The citizens of the community have
expressed their willingness to furnish
all rough lumber for building, delivered
on the grounds for 81 per thousand.
The board will use the remaining I'M
spent funds from the county's part
of the $4,000 time warrants issue,
the balance needed to come from the
general funds.
Bids for the building will be received
by the board at a special meeting Mon
day night at 1880 O'Clock. The commit
tee of citizens from the Davis school
community petitioning the board were:
j. w. Dove, l.. E. Dove, j. c. Davis
and /. M. Miller. Granting of the new
building was at first much opposed
by j. Pace and Judge E. D. Beggs. Mo-
ton to grant it was made by L. S.
Gilmore, retiring member. The new
building will be erected on a site one
mile south of the present school house,
a central point to the community.
W. B. Vaughn, of Muscogee one of
the trustees of the Muscogee school,
petitioned the board for, an increase in
thesalaries of the teachers of that
school. An increase of $3.50 for the
year for the entire school was granted
Other minor business matters were
transacted.
