FLORENCE

Florence, February 7-(special.) )-This week the Southern Bituiithic Company completed the paving of the entire busi- ness section of Florence. and the new paved streets. together with the white way recently installed add much to the appearance of the city.
 With the advent of good weather, the paving of East Mobile and East Tennes- sec streets is progressing. and the com missioners are considering ordering otber principal streets paved within short time. Property owners on Pone street and Wood avenue desire that those streets be paved. and it is expected that this will be done within the next few months which would add several addi- tional miles of modern paved streets to that which has already been completed.
 On Thursday afternoon number of prominent business ana professional men of the city met at the courthouse here and made plans to help in the election of Senator O. W. Underwood. the sem ator being a candidate for reelection. Underwood is greatly admired by the people of this section. Particularly are the people here indebted to the senator for his faithful work in behalf of the great Mlscle Shoals project.
 Construction work at Wilson Dam is ra pdly being resumed on a normal basis with the fall of Tennessee river. Golf fer No l, which was flooded for about six days. has again been unwatered, and work here Is in progress Work has also been resumed on the concrete piers between Jacksons s Island and the south side for the permanent construction bridge. which was delayed on account of the high water.

Universal Training to Cost $130,0O0,OO
 a Year, Declares Kahn
By Associated Press


 Washington, February 7.-Adoption of a universal military training policy. such as proposed in the Senate bill would cost about Sl30,O00,000 a year, Representative Kahn, republican, California, chairman of the House military committee, said today, in statement urging such action "as an assurance against war" and to correct misleading estimates
 'It will cost about $35 per man per month, while he is at the camps, 0r a total for 6o0,000 men of about 20, 100000 per month," he said. eff the training period shall be four months, the total cost would be S1,6eO0oo. Say we add SC, ,0oe, GOO for possible contingencies, and the total cost of the training will be in the neighborhood of s131, ,000,OOo
 "All told, the cost of military estaA- lishment, including the cost of training and of maintaining the regular army, will be about $500, ,000 900. We were in the war about 19 months, at a cost to the United States of $33 OO0, ,Ooo.0Oo. This country paid for our utter unpreparedness at the ap- proximate rate of s1,700oo,0oo a month during the continuation of the war.
 "It would take about 200 years to ex- pend the amount required for the uni versal training of our youths to total the amount that this nineteen moIsns of war cost us. Surely it would be crim- inaI folly to neglect the lessons taught us by this wear.

Sheffield. February -(Special.l-The Sheffield Muscle Shoals Chamber of Com merce was organized here at a meeting of citizens Thursday night. The new or ganization is a consolidation of the city s two civic clubs-the Sheffield-A Muscle Shoals club and the chamber of com merce. The initial meeting was held In the handsome club building, which has just been completed at cost of 5000 one of the most up-to- date and attractive civic club structures ever erected in city of this size,
 William T. Archer and Harry Spielber- ger, former president and treasurer or the Sheffield-Muscle Shoals Club were elected to these offices in the new or ganizatiop, and A D. Thompson was chosen vice president. A committee has in hand the matter of engaging a secre- tary, who will be selected from number of out-of- town applicants, to fill the place formerly held by H. Fontaine Little, who will locate in New York city at an early date.
 The reelection of William T. Archer as president of the Sheffield Muscle Shoals Chamber of Commerce. is considered to be a distinct compliment to the ability of the live-wire worker, whose energy and efforts were largely instrumental in bringing such a measure of success to the club of which he was president the past year. And It IS certAln that ne VII nav the full cooperation of every member or the consolidated body.
 During the past week a campaign was directed here to secure 1.50o membership and SlS,Oo0 with which to finance the pro gram1ne of big things planned for the coming year As a result more than s15, 900 had been subscribed up to Friday night. and efforts will be continued for another week to increase the amount to S20,OOO. With the drive for funds suc- cess, the new organization will be well financed, and the city will have solid, concrete organization, whose energies will be directed in the upbuilding of the hub city, of the Muscle Shoals section.
 It augurs well for the city that a strong chamber of commerce has been organized here. Community spirit may have been more or less dormant here in times past, but it is very much alive at this time.

 The absent voter must mark his ball lot as if he were present and attach to 1t an affidavit showing that he is qual- flied to vote in the primary This bal lot is mailed to the chairman of the county executive committe, who is re- quired by the law to deposit it with the election officials of the voters precinct on election day, who in turn will de- posit it as if the voter were present. The absent voter must have marked plainly on the envelope, Absent Voters Ballot" and it cannot be opened until the day of the primary.
 A person may vote in a general cleo tion on the same conditions.
 In view of the fact that the probate judges must have the ballots ready at least thirty-one days before the cleo tion. it was necessary for the commit tee to close the entries sixty days prior to the election. It will take fifteen or more days to prepare and print the ballots and fifteen days longer to de-
 
 "The state committee has no au- thority over the county committees, but it trusts the county committees also will close the entries sixty days before the primary on March 10 in order that every democrat may have the oppor- tunity of casting his ballot" said Chair man Nesbitt today
 ONLY TWO FOR JUDGESHI2S

 Plans for the construction of a high way bridge across the Tennessee river here were discussed in detail at a meet
 ing of Albany business men in the rooms of the chamber of commerce Thursday night.
 It was the opinion of many of those present that the business men of the city, who are vitally interested in the completion of the project. will devote much time and energy to insure it's com pletion and that Albany can easily raise as much as $100,o00 to that end. Several business men suggested to the present packers of the enterprise t{at the board Of directors of the bridge com pany be reorganized with view of get ting members on the board who are in timately connected with the banking in- terests of Albany-Decatur and neighbor- ing cities The suggestions were favor ably received ad immediate steps will be taken to accomplish these results Decatur will take her own census, checking the governments count, and Z' Trimble has been appointed municipal enumerator. The count of the govern ment's enumerators probably will not be made public for several months, So the council authorized a municipal check of the population here.

 Friends of the two factions of former days during the ast few days have been attempting to compromise in order that the state delegation may consist of Governor Kilby, Chairman Nesbitt, Senator Underwood and Senator Bank head. It was the custom many years state executive committee and two sen ators to represent the state -ae-large at the democratic national conventions, and there was never any opposition.
 MT. Long charged that Chairman Nes- bitt and Governor Kilby were commit ted to womans suffrage and would SUD- port such q plank. It is recalled that Governor Kilby declined to take part in any fight for or against the amend ment when the legislature was in ses- sion in 1919.
