WILL URGE PASSAGE
 OF TALLADEGAb BILL
Former Residents of TaIIade. ga to Meet and Discuss
 Water Supply

Final meeting of the former resirents of Talladega now liv- ing in Birmingham will me held tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the law offices of Borden Burr on the twelfth floor of the Jefferson County Bank building. The meeting will b efor the final discussion of the drive for the adoption of the Talladega amendment to the state constitution authorizing a raise in the taxation of the residents If Tal- ladega for better and more ade- quate water supply.
 Every section of the state seems to have responded heartily to our appeal for their help. but the real test comes on election day when every voting citizen in the state is asked to take the trouble to go to the polls and vote for the amendment said James c. Puckett. The future of the city of Talladega hangs in the balance, so to speak. for the drinking water situation there is very acute and some remedy must be brought about immediately.
 If the people of Alabama will realize the vital importance of this matter to the citizens of Talladega I do not believe that many votes will be cast against the amendment"
 All former residents of Talladega arc requested to be present and lend their aid.

Young gEditor Gets Education, But H Takes Thirty Schools

E. A. Thomas, editor of the Gen. tral High school Mirror. and member of the senior class, has travelled all over the United States for an educa- ton. He has worked his way through school without losing year or fall ing to pass from one grade to the next, In spite of the fact that in order to pay his own way he has had to attend 30 different schools. This is no doubt the record for any young man of only 19, He has studied un- der more than 150 different teachers. The teachers at Central High school have done more for him, he says, than any he has ever had before. Thomas has been connected with the school paper of every school he has attended, but the Mirror Is the first paper of which he has been editor. He will finish his high school work at the end of this semester and will be in the graduating class of the high school next spring.
