 Cunningham Club.
 The Cunningham club of Ensley will meet in regular session at the city hall tomorrow night and will discuss matters of importance pertaining to the campaign of Dr. R. M. Cunningham for governor.

B. Conner will receive some votes in Ensley every one has agreed that Dr. Cunningham will naturally carry his home town. It is also argued that the Conner vote in Ensley could not be changed by any amount of | reasoning or persuasion, as it would go | to MT. Conner on personal reasons that | have nothing to do with the issues in the campaign.
 It Is understood that a plan is on foot to have a rally at Bessemer some time during this month. and it is suggested 1 that the occasion be made a sort of coun- ty affair in which all voters in the county are interested will take pare.
