Sunday afternoon Corine left the house for church. leav- ing her daughter there. together with her uncle and Melton. While her uncle was asleep Melton entered the room of the child and was handling her in a very rough manner when she threat ened to tell her mother. when he left the house. Before Justice Carson the child told a very straight story. Mel ton admitted the crime in part and was placed in jail to await the action of the grand jury
 The electric line which has been talked of between Tuscaloosa and Bir- mingham is the all-absorbing topic here and has been for the past several days. It is said that the line will ex- tend along the Warrior Valley and will make all the points between this place and Birmingham. including Brook wood. Horse Creek. Searles, Keller man and Holt.

FOUR HIT ABOVE 300
FIGURES AS TO GREAT sPURT OF ... CLIMBERS.
Scrwarts Leads in Batting, While Mul. laney Tops the Fielding Re-
 cOrds-Remarkable Record af OldfinG.

The effect of Durrett's taking charge Of the local team has been electrical. and the batting averages have gone up by leaps and bounds. while the general all-round work makes the average fan feel that the summer Is not wasted af- ter all.
 Charlie Schwartz is leading the Climbers-and possibly the Southern enty-four games, having gotten eleven hits in the last seven games. Moles- worth is second. having had nine hits In the seven games. with Brouthers and McMakin leads everything with a bat ting average of .421. eight hits in seven games.
 The feature of the batting is the re- seven hits in the three last games he average of ss points.
 These averages only include the games with Shreveport last Thursday. two games played since. then. There is 8 drop of points in the fielding average, but the difference Is not ma terial. Dominick Mullaney leads the fielding with twelve. errors in 593 playing the greatest first base ever seen In the South. Schwartz runs him close second with 464 chances and six teen errors at second base, an average and twenty-three errors. and Oldring 1i5 chances and nine errors
 The fnfeld Is playing the fastest game ever seen in Montgomery and the out pitching stan is working smoothly the two games that Stultz went in after they were lost have been taken from his record and he is now in the .500 class. The averages for the seven port on July 27th are.

NOT A CANDIDATE
HENRY COUNTY FARMER HAS NOT
 OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED.
Prominent Planter May Become Aspi- rant for Commissioner of Agricul- ture, but Declines te OAer
 Himself at This Time.

Hon. John B. Ward, ex-member of the Legislature from Henry County. and one of the best known citizens of Southeast Alabama, Is not now can didate for Commissioner of Agriculture. although his name has frequently been mentioned in that connection and cer- tain newspaper publications have had him out as candidate.
 The political situation is too unset tied, the political future of tho State Is too uncertain for MT. Ward to be- come a candidate, he said yesterday Mir Ward intimated that the situation might in the future become so clarified that he might offer for the honor, but at present he did not feel that he should become a candidate.
 MT. Ward Is one of the most success full of the many successful farmers in East Alabama His farm properties in Henry County are among the most val uable of that rich agricultural section. The fine farm property which is his. his comfortable fortune was won from
 the soil by labor and good manage
 ment.
 His legislative experience and his
 success as farmer have made him well
 known throughout the State.
 In discussing the rumors of his can-
 didacy, MT. Ward said:
 ITO fill the office of Commissioner of Agriculture Is an honor that any farm CT of the State might well prize. l am
 free to say that 1t is an honor that
 would cherish. for 1t would be in the line of work of all the years of my life, farming and agriculture. But l am not candidate. It does not seem to me at this time that I will be a candidate, but no one can gay what changes may come about. At the present time the political situation in Alabama is too un certain and too unsettled for me to be- come a candidate. In the present con- dltion of affairs in Alabama I take it that when any man announces for State office he makes a leap in the dark Nevertheless, I feel appreciative of the many kind things that have been said Of me in connection with the office of Commissioner of Agriculture"
 The place of Commissioner of Agri- culture seems more attractive at this time to ambitious Alabamians than any other office. There are al present three announced candidates for the place, well-known gentlemen. who have pub licly avowed their candidacy, and who have for several days been conferring with their friends upon their candidacy. They are Hon. J. A. Wilkinson. mem- Der of the Legislature from Autauga County: Chief Clerk Jesse Adams of the Agricultural Department. who comes from Dale County, and Captain William Selden of the same office. who comes from Mareng0 County.

governor who would be a credit to

arouse in his last years-for Judge
