.EUFAULA IS PROUD
 IF MIR. CLAYTON
Reports Great Success In Vest
 ern Campaign
FUND REACHES S256 75
Editorial Staff Is Named for the Ala bama Brenau College Journal. First Issue Will Appear
 Early Next Month.

Eufaula, October (Special.) .)-The friends of Henry D. Clayton through out this and other sections of.Alabama have every reason to feel proud, and will be deeply gratihed to learn of his excellent success in the west where ne is at present actively engaged in the interest of the national campaign.
 In private advices to his friends here MT. Clayton says that in nearly every city where he has spoken he was not only greeted with large audiences but on many occasions perfect ovations were extended him. At Hutchison. Kan, where he recently delivered an address, he was greeted with three rounds of cheers upon his presentation and when he arose the outburst of hand elapping drowned his voice for several minutes.
 Everywhere he has appeared his friends were emphatic in their express sions of his superior ability as one well versed in the issues of the campaign and he has often been congratulated in having strengthened the faith of the democrats and gained votes from the ranks of the opposition. He is still firm in his conviction that the demo- crats are fast gaining ground and Is confident that Bryan will win.
 Lee J. Clayton, chairman of the democratic executive committee Of Barbour county and who is custodian of the national campaign expense fund for the county, reports S256,75 con- tributed up to the present time, which amount he has forwarded to the treas urer. Mr Clayton has been quite ac- tive in canvassing for the cause. and much of the result is due to his un- tiring efforts in that direction.
 Pupils of the Alabama Brenau, who are in charge of the publication of the College Journal, are actively engaged with a view of having the first issue make it's appearance early next month. The following are among the staff: Miss Louise Cato, Glennville, editor-in chief Miss Kathleen Bowden Colum bia, assistant editor; Miss Lucy Pitts, Union Springs, exchange editor; Misses Kathleen Corker and Louie .Aaddox, business mana gers. The Cushman Clubs of Oratory and the Nautilis of Art have also been organized and will elect of ficers at the next regular meeting.

Vernon will not lose the Lamar county courthouse just yet at ans rate. IF an agreement to get at the will of the people it was left to the qualified voters. Judge John Purifoy, state examiner, was sent over by Governor Conner to find out which side had the most. In all 1496 electors petitioned. For vote on re- moval there were 1O96.
 Of this number 1t was found that only 726 were qualified to vote. As they had right to do, IFS recanted, leaving 553 in favor of an election. Those opposing an election were 1922. of which 762 were quail fled Of these 103 recanted, leaving 659, majority of those qualified to cast ballots Thus there will be no election.
 By law the governor must call an elec- tion if 1t is found that a petition for such is signed by a majority of the qualified voters of the county desiring to change county seats. This election Is called by commissioners appointed by the governor. It was found by Judge Purifoy that many men by failure to pay poll tax had been disqualified and did not know.

Still on Birch Case.

The federal court of appeals was en- gagged all day in the Birch-Steele case, wherein the right of appointment of a referee in bankruptcy in Birmingham is involved Judge Thomas G. Jones ap- pointed Alex Birch and he was displaced by Judge Hundley, who named N. L. Steele. Jones, by right of being judge of both districts, claims that he alone had the right, as Hundley, who had not been qualified under a new appointment, could not legally fill the vacancy.
 Former Congressman s. J. Bowie for Birch. continued his speech, holding to the right of Judge Jones. E. J. Dryer of Birmingham argued for the other side. Among other things he said that the ap- pointment of Birch was invalid as it was not agreed to by both judges. It is also void, he thought, because done in cham bers and not in open session of the bank ruptcy courts. Also he thought the ap- pointment void because bond and qualif- cation did not come until the next day.
