BIG DEVELOPMENT
 BY COUNTY COAL CO.
Company Building Bridges and Laying Tracks at It's
 New Mines

The County Coal company recorded deeds which conclude all condemna- ton proceedings wherein they sought to condemn a right of way from their mines near Grants mill to the Central of Georgia spur from Nc Combs station to Overton. These transactfonsg in addition to. complet- ing the coppany's right of way for enc and one-half miles of railway traekage, also disposes of all pendS ing litigation.
 The steel bridge purchased from the Southern Steel works, spanning Cahaba river, is now nearing com pletion. This bridge will be approx imately loo feet above the mean water level of the river, and it's greatest span is approximately 15u feet in length. It will be of suf- ficient width to accommodate wagon transportation as. well as railway trackage.
 The company also within the past 10 days let a contract for the pur- chase of so-pound, rails for the en- tire length of its right of way. This was also a local purchase, the same having been rolled in the rail mill of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail-
 
 The company contemplates the erection of a set of all-steel tipples at the junction of its railway with the Central of Georgia railway, which from the standpoint of engi- neering, will be second to none in the district.
 In addition to these Improvements and bctterments. the company IS completing arrangements for the im- mediate opening up of stwo or more entries cn it's properties and expects to be a strong bidder for business in the southeastern coal markets dur ing the coming winter.
 For the purpose of speeding tho construction and erection of houses for It's employees. the company has recently installed blaming mill in addition to its sawmill already in operation on It's properties.
 The company Is backed almost Tn entiety by Pennsylvania capitalist, William F. Sossong of Carnegie, be- Ing president and William s. Prit- ehard the local representative and it's vice president.

CHAMBER HOME
 OWNERSHIP PLAN
Robert Iemison, ST., Makes a Suggestion to President
 Moore

J. D Moore, new president of the Chamber of Commerce Is in receipt
 of numerous letters from members
 of the chamber promising him their
 CO operation in making hts admin lstration count for the good of the community.
 In letter from Robert Jemison, Sr,. pledging his support to Mir.
 Moore, the writer dwells on the ad.
 visibility of the chamber having a permanent home of its own, which Manager Bum,
 One thing I feel sure has mill tated against the Chamber of Com merce for long time. and that is thls: AS you recall, many of our good citizens furnished the money to build the Chamber of Commerce and took preferred stock therefor, the cham
 Der owning all the common stock These people who furnished the money to build the chamber have been without returns for their money for many years.
 This has put a pretty bad taste in the mouths of those who put up thls money and the stock has been so low that it was considered of no value hardly, My idea Is that the Chamber of Commerce should pay for it's duar- ters and for the name of owning the building a sufficient amount in ad- dltion to that received from other rentals to pay these good people a req sonable return on their preferred stock.
 "or, you might be able to work up some scheme by which the chamber could buy up this stock and own 1t as a chamber. thereby letting every
 man feel that his membership gave
 him q property value in the building.
 ~rhe tor of the building Is ad-
 mirably adapted to being converted
 into sn assembly and restaurant
 room where the various clubs have
 their weekly luncheons, and then.
 too, the basement could be used for
 local manufacturing exhibits"

KNIFE AND BRICK
 ARE WEAPONS USED
 BY NEGRO WOMEN

Pearl Brown, negress, Twenty eighth street and Avenue E, was stabbed once in the neck and once in the arm, and Adelaide Thomas, negress, 2324 Alley c. seriously wounded when struck on the head with a brick by Pearl Brown, in an affray between the two last night at 9 o'clock at the intersection of Ave- nue c and Twenty fourth street.
 Pearl Browns condition is regarded as critical by the Hillman hospital authorities while the Thomas woman, after receiving medical attention there, was transferred to the city jail, charged with assault with a weapon.
 The fight between the two negroes Is said to have had it's origin from an argument over man whom wit nesses said made hurried exit, upon seeing that the impending trouble would not be avoided.

BYG0NE DAYS ARE
 BROUGHT TO MIND
 BY C0NFISCATED GIN

Memories of days gone by. when the thirsty having a preference for "gin" could step up to the bar. place their foot on the brass rail and call for this commodity, were brought back to the minds of the frequenters of police headquarters yesterday aft ernoon.
 The cause of this divergence of thought from politics and other cur rent events was the bringing in of 10 quarts of Gordon dry gin, confis- cated while in an automobile in the southern section of the city by De- tectives Giles and Patterson.
 R. L. Thomas, address unknown, was arrested as the owner of the gin and charged with violating the liquor law and also held under charge of being suspicious character.

ALPHABET is DISCARDED
Justice Judson S. West VIII
Have First Place on Ballot in
Three Big Kansas Counties.

Justice Judson S. West of the su-
preme court is enjoying the present
primary campaign much more than
the first state wide primary of four
teen years ago when the alphabetical
listing Of candidates cost him a nom
ination. Following the fatal primary
of 1908, and before his nomination in
1910, Justice West originated the story
TO the effect that Balaam's Ass would
have beaten George Washington.
Now with chips in a three cOrnered
fight, the prevailing method of listing
candidates will give Judge West first
place in the three big counties-Sedg-
wick, Shawnee and Wyandotte- 1t is
a break of luck with the reverse Eng
hsh The story of the 1908 primaries
was recounted by Judge West today
at the state house.
The first time I tried for the nom
nation" he said, I was beaten by the
alphabet. The Ws were not in 1t with
the AS and BIS. But the next time
the law had been changed so as not to
penaIize those lower down in the al
phabet, and the result was different.
When the legislature realized that
under the former system. IL Balaam's $
ASS, Barnum's Calf and George Wash
ington had been on the ticket, the
Father Of his Country would have
been beaten by one of the afore-men-
toned opponents, the statute was
amended, and now whatever else may
betide a candidate he will not be
killed by being hit over the head with
the alphabet
But to show the poetic justice of
the thing. the name west will come
first in most of the biggest counties
under the present method OF appor-
tioning the state among candidates.
and it is an established trait of hu
man nature to vote for the first name
on the ticket so mote il be- "
