 BUCKEYE ELECTiON-A Buckeye citizen, speaking yesterday respecting the local option election to be held in Buckeye. Arlington and Liberty on Tuesday. said he thought there was no doubt but that local option would pre- vail. He said. too, that it was not par ticularly a fight against whisky. or a temperance campaign. either. but merely a business move. The only place in that disuict where liquor is sold is in a Mexican saloon that is a nuisance in more ways than one. and many people who are given to the liquor habit would do without it rather than patronize the place. What caused all the trouble is that most of
 the hired help in that section are Mex jeans. and just as soon as they get a few dollars ahead. and particularly on Saturday nights. they gather at this saloon. get drunk and stay that way until their money is gone. The farm CTS cannot depend on their help with 1 the saloon in their midst

.1s w. B. MAXWELL A WOMAN"
Tel Red 1925.


 Few male authors would relish the compliment implied in the praise heaped upon w. E. Maxwells last novel, 'Vivien." A number of review CTS, eager to be congratulated for their perspicacity. leaped into print with signed guesses that w. B. Maxwell was woman-must be woman from her Knowledge of things that "only wo- men could know and understand The reviewers neglected to state how they themselves. being men. could know what only a woman could know.
 Both in England and America W. B. Maxwell was voted a woman and most brilliant one, revealing at times strongly masculine style. The book
 'Vivien' made a profound stir, and the authors future rank was placed among the major gods of fiction.
 Now w. B. Maxwell Is d man, and a masculine man of square jaw and ath- letic frame. as can be seen from his pictures. His father was a we'll known publisher who married the novelist Miss BraddOn." MT. Maxwell has profited by inheritance and training and enters the lists with remarkable . endOwments.
 A new novel of his. to be called The Guarded Flame is to be published this fall by D. Appleton x CO The plot is very unusual. the central character being a man of the Herbert Spencer or Huxley type, so absorbed in scien- tific researches and philosophy that he leaves his wife to the care of his young secretary with results that are dra- matic. powerful and of profound heart interest.

HOUSE DYNAM|TED
 BUT NO ONE HURT
Two Negroes at No, 8 Arrested
 Charged With Crime
DEEDMEYER CASE DELAYED
We'll Known Attorney Is Charged With Libel By City of Ensley-Other
 News of Busy
 EnsIey.

Ensley, November 19.-(Special)-A DOT tion of the house occupied by oscar Ken rick in the quarters of No. mine of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad com pany was blown into fragments by dyna- mite last night between 12 and l o'clock.
 Napoleon White and Will West, two well known negroes, have been arrested, charged with the crime. Deputies Lee White and w. E. Eubank made the ar rests. One end of the house was com- pletely demolished, but fortunately no one was hurt as the room was empty at the time.
 Suspicion fell on White on the grounds that he and Kenrick were enemies, and on West on the grounds that he and White were 'buddes' and close asso- ciates. It seems that White has just been released from serving a two months sentence at Pratt Mines anG as he and Kenrick had had some trouble previous to this, it is thought that he attempted to destroy Kenriek by the use of dyna- mite. The men were handcuffed together and brought to the office of James Brodie, justice of the peace in Ensley. Later they were taken to the county jail in Birmingham. Justice Brodie has set the time of the preliminary trial for next Saturday morning It Is expected that other arrests will be made in con- nection with the crime.

Wat lxins and his father went to the office of the foreman and began to make a dis tlrbance and he asked them to leave, and at this they grew rough and men acing.
 The daughter of Mr. Bailey went to the mill to take her father his supper and she entered the office when the men Were at their worst. and they used language toward her that her father could not brook and he laid his hand on the elder Watkins to put him out, when the soa rushed up and fired on Bailey at close range. shooting him in the breast just a fraction above the heart. The Watkinses, father and son, are in jail charged with the crime and will have to stand trial for either an assault with intent to mur- der or murder Mir. Bailey is in serious condition with the chances all against him. This is the worst trouble that has occurred at the mill since it's estab- lishment Mir. Bailey is very popular with managers of the mill as well as the em- ployes. and his misfortune is deeply re- gretted.
