GUNNELLS GETS
 THE APPOINTMENT
Succeeds Mir. Abercrombie as Superintendent of Education
WAS GREAT SURPRISE TOALL
MT. GunneIls Was Recommended By MT. Aberoromble-Says He Has Not Decided On Being candI-
 date for the Office.

Montgomery. June 4.-(SpeciaD-Gov- ernor Jelks today appointed MT. H. c. Gunnells to succeed MT. Abercrombie as Superintendent of Education. The ap- pointment was announced to the executive office by telephone from Birmingham, and came as a surprise. Every one had guessed Gunnells as soon as the announce ment reached here that there was to be a vacancy, but he had promptly announced that he would not be candidate Hence this is one case where an appointment comes entirely unsolicited by the re- cipient. Governor Jelks In his message said he did this at the earnest recommen- dation of Mr Abercrombie. MT. Gunnells is of Calhoun, born and reared at Oxford, and was a teacher until he came here with MT. Abercrombie as chief clerk. He was a member of the last legislature and is a man of culture and experience in public affairs. His experience as chief clerk assures that the affairs of the office will run on without any jar natu- rally incident to change. The capitol force is universally pleased at the appoint ment.
 Mir. Gunnells was asked If he would be a candidate for the nomination and an- swered that he had hardly had time to consider the question: but his impression now Is that he will not be.

MIR. QUARLES MAY
 BE 4 CANDIDATE
THIS IS CONSIDERED DOUBTFUL, HOWEVER, AS HE MIGHT EN. DANGER CHANGES OF J. CRAIG SMITH AND SENATOR PETTUS.

Selma, June 4-(Special.)-For about a that perhaps Col. W. W. Quarles would be a candidate for governor. He him self has not said anything that led to the rumor, but it appeared to have come from those who are surmising and con 1eoturing on affairs political In Dallas county and the state. It was spread abroad only after the appearance in the Mobile Register of the letter giving his views on state primary.
 Col. Quarles was called on his morn ing by an Age-Herald representative and asked concerning the matter. q have nothing to say at this time" he said and that settled 1t.
 Colonel Quarles was called on this morn his probable candidacy. His friends, and they are many, say that he would have practically walk over. that he would receive the unanimous Johnston support, although he fought Johnston so well and effectively during the famous campaign of 1900, when he was one of the flying squadron and that he would also rally to his standard a large part of the Nor gan strength DeSlutS strength or his own, for it must be known that Col. Quarles has a large acquaintance in All abama and men of much influence in scattered localities are greatly his friends. He Is strong with the people, makes telling stump speech and pos sesses endurance and perseverance that would stand him we'll in campaign.
 Perhaps the greatest obstacle in the way of his becoming a candidate for gov ernor Is the complications that would arise over Craig Smiths candidacy for treasurer and Senator Pettus candidacy for reelection With two senator's a supreme court judge and a state treas urer from -1allas county, to secure a governor also would be something of a task, but Col. Quarles friends aver that he would be able to do 1t, as against Jelks
 Col. Quarles and Treasurer J. Craig Smith are second cousins and are person al and political friends. Col. Quarles would not likely embarrass MT. Smiths candidacy for reelection This Is point ed out as one of the reasons that Col. Quarles would not likely run. There are some however who believe him a cer- tain candidate should a primary be called and that for six weeks things have been shaping themselves looking to the l announcement of his candidacy.

CARROLLTON, GRAND OLD
 TOWN OF WEST ALABAMA
BY CHARLES H. ALLEN. JR.

Carrollton, June 4-(Special. )-This famous old town, the county seat of Piclsens County. Is situated 30 miles west of Tuscaloosa and 3e miles east of Co., lumbus, Miss, and 12 miles east of the Bigbee river. Lubbub Creek runs within a half mile of the town. Pickens was carved out of Tuscaloosa County in 1920, and named for Governor PiclSens, then chief executive of the state. Carrollton was for many years without railroad connec- , tion, but when the Montgomery extension of the Mobile and Ohio was built in 1896 and the town was left out in the cold, the citizens determined to build branch road to Reform, on the Mobile and Ohio, 10 miles distant to the north. Hon. John T. Cochrane of Tuscaloosa was placed at the head of the enterprise and suc- cessfully carried 1t to a finish. The road Is now called The Carrollton Short Line," and Is paying handsome dividend on the capital invested.
 The town Is beautifully located upon a high hill or small mountain, and lovely
 views of the rich and fertile valleys that surround it can be seen from the windows
  wonderfully fin the past three years and now has a population of about 10o0 and constantly increasing. Business of all | kinds is good and there has been but one failure here in many years. The town
 now receives fully 60oO bales of cotton. and trade Is rapidly growing. Whisky Is | now sold here, there being two houses
 engaged in the business. There are about fifteen stores here, and more to come this fall.
 This Is 8 great timber country and hun dreds of thousands of feet of all kinds is shipped from here
 Carrollton Is growing as a health re- sort, there being three fine mineral springs close to town. One Is an Indian spring known as Rock Spring" and 1t is more than probable that DeSoto and bis cavaliers quenched their thirst here

The Johnnie Woods spring is another famous oHe here owned by the Willetts, and Is more visited than tho other two by seekers after health. Tho other is the Copeland Spring." all three being noted as heelth restorsrs
 There Is some excitement here now over the report of the discovery of a lead mine l about six miles from town. The particu- | lars cannot be had, but the general belief is that such a discovery has been made. | Carrollton is noted for It's hospitality | and the beauty of its women, whose cheeks are famed to health by the noun tain b-eezes that sweep down from the green hills of Picirens. There are three churches here and all the inhabitants at- tend divine service.
 Since the Short Line hes been bu1Rt a private bank has been opened hero by J. g. Hanley of Tuscaloosa George A. Michael, formerly of Demopolis. is the ef- flcient and accommodating casflter, and business is good with the bank.
 There are seven lawyers in town and all do a good practice. Colonel M. L. Stansel. beloved all over the state, is the Nestor of the lar. He has recently been quite sick but is now improving. willctt 8t Willett fs a leading firm here and do largo practice. Pickens Is the home of scme as fine gentlemen as live in the state For instance: W. B. Peebies of vi- enna, W. D. windhem of Stone. S. W. Hood of the Garden. Frank Hancock of McShaw and many others.
 Carrollton has been the home of many men famous in the history of Alabama
 Col. l.. M. Stone, now dead. is among the numb Hon. Reuben Chapman, who recently died at Livingston, began the practice of law here. and led the first company to the war in 1881.

TALLADEGA
chinnabee Cotton Mill Company Holds
 Meeting and Elects Officers.

Talladega, June 4.-(SpeciaD-The stock holders of the Chinnabee Cotton Mills held their annual meeting today in the built of the three cotton mills located in this city, all of them having been erected with local capital. A board of directors was elected consisting of Capt. T. S. Flow man, Hon. Cecil Browne, Mr. 2. H. Clardy, J. E. Michael, W D. Link and F. B. Bowie. The report of the manage ment showing the results of the opera ton of the mill was read and proved highly satisfactory. The factory has been running put six months, and it has had all the difficulties to overcome incident to the starting up of new mill but not withstanding this the report shows a handsome dividend to the stockholders
 The Desc gold mining association, a Texas corporation, has leased 220 acres of land near here on the Coosa River and in its prospectus the claim Is made that they are developing the exact spot mined by DeSoto four centuries since. The cor poration has succeeded in unearthing about one hundred dollars in gold dust
 The claim is made that the corporation has a map of the march of the intrepid Spaniard. and a shaft dug by his followers has been found. There Is no doubt that gold can be found at the spot indicated, although 1t Is the most northerly point In the county where the metal has hith- erto been discovered in any quantity.
 MT John Nichols of Childersbure, who owns the site of the ancient Indian town visited by DeSoto. has sent to the mayor a copper coin or medal ploughed up In his field. On one side of the m edal is a profile of an Indian standing under a pine shooting at a deer with bow and arrow. on the other bust in profile, and around it the inscription, George. King of Great Britain" The medal has a small ring at the top, presumably to en- able the possassor to pass a string through 1t. and wear the same on his person. In size 1t is about the thickness and circumference of a silver dollar.
