Cookies Kick as to Lowndes Proves
Not So Serious.

Birmingham, Oct. Especial -Mr.
Campbell. Chairman of the Democratic
Committee, was asked today what reply
he had to make to Republican Chairman
Cookies statement relative to the APP
poIntment OF inspectors in Lowndes
County. He replied:
'I have communicated with Hon. s.
l.. Tyson of Fort Deposit who is we'll
and favorabIy known in South Alabama.
and he authorizes me to say that no ne
gro has been appointed Inspector at any
box in Lowndes where there was white
Republican, except at one box and that
at that box one of the Democratic inspec-
tors has resigned so that his place as In
spector can be taken by a white Repub-
lican. The law requires that inspectors
be appointed from opposite political par
ties and the only two parties in this con-
test are the Democratic and Republican
parties. 1t would seem from Mr.. Tyson'B
statement that the authorities in Lowndes
County could do nothing else than what
they have done and comply with the law,
and no doubt If they had appointed three
Democrats in the boxes, the Republican
Committee would have howled. They
ought not to complain of conditions the
Democrats are not responsible for"

to New York for the shell in order to

a defense they could not pass, while the
revolving wedge of the archaeological
school which had worked well
previously was torn to pieces by the Uni
