 While other questions will undaubt- e5ly csme up for confederation dur ing the day, the principal business of rhe committee today will have to do with the counting of the vote.
 A contest frcm Walker county will be laid before the State Committee. Two candidates for Sheriff are making the fight. The contestants are J. A. Higgins and J. o. Long. It is one of the most unusual contests ever brought before the committee. The advance report of the contest has it that it comes out of the fact the chairman of the county committee on canvassing the county returns, de- clared one of the men had received the nomination, while the body of the committee declared the nomination should go to the other man.
 An anonymous and indefinite rumor cmoing out of Birmingham has 1t that contest Is to be made on the nomination of Major John c. Harris

Even though a contest should be made. it is not at all certain 1t would be first launched in the State Executive Con- mittee. Major Harris has not yet received any notice of such q contest.

Prospects Could Not Be Brighter at

oil of a good quality will be obtained.
AT five o'clock this morning. owing
to a leaky boiler, the drillers were
compelled to shut down, but expect

hours.
With the prospects as at present
in older oil fields oil would be struck
and a gusher obtained in from TWEEN

is managing the affairs of the oil
company. said that he had never seer

A representative of the Record
visited the oil fields yesterday and
verified the eport that had been
brought to Roswell. When the well
was slushed oil was obtained in
great deal of gas. In fact it is safe
to say that the chances of obtaining
a gusher could not be better.
