KILBY IS OUT OF RACE

Annston, March 24-(Special. )-Tommy
 Cline, the fifteen-year-old son of Lydia A. Cline, has mysteriously disappeared from
 home and nothing has been heard of him
 since Tuesday, March g. three weeks ago,
 when he left home with a young com
 panion, Charles McNeil, both of whom were employees of the American Net and Irvine mill at Blue Mountain. | It has been learned that the two boys went as far as the rock quarry, near Gadsden. where young McNeill is staying with a sister, but the Cline boy has not | been seen since he went to the river banks few days after his arrival, ac oording to his brother, and it is feared he has been drowned.
 Tommy Cline is the youngest son of the | late William Cline who died in the peni- tentiary after being sent up for the mur- 1 der of John Phillips, growing out of a trouble over the alleged abduction of his daughter by Jim Phillips, who Is now liv- | ing at Talladega with his bride. The
 missing boy was working in the min for 50 cents day. He has an older brother,
 Hiram Cline, aged nineteen, and a sister, | Agnes, aged sixteen, who are living with | their mother at Blue Mountain.
 l The case against the Western Union and /! the Postal Telegraph companies, growing out of the fight over licenses, has been | continued again on account of conflicting l duties of the city attorney. Manager Daniel of the Western Union stated today
 that his company has agreed to compro- of e10n fo
 license of $50. Manager Barnett says that
 his company will not agree to pay more
 than $50 Last year they fought the $250
 license and secured judgment against | the city for about $3O0 including costs and
 accrued interest on money which they
 paid under protest.
 The announcement of Mayor T. E. Kill l by of this city that he will not run for | governor on the prohibition ticket will likely be received with interest through out the state, as his rigid enforcement of | the law here has caused his friends to i urge him to enter the race on that issue. | c. Bradley who was fined s10 yesterday l for fighting Constable Green, was dis missed or the gaming charge today, as 1 was A. Alloway.
 | More than a hundred workmen have
 been employed in rebuilding the plant of
 the Central Foundry company, which was recently destroyed by fire here, and it is l announced that the industry will probably
 resume operations by May 1. number | of the wolkmen who were temporarily
 thrown out of employment were given | jobs at the Union Foundry plant, the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foun- dry plant the Western Steel Car and | Foundry plant, and elsewhere so that | there was little distress as a result of the | fire. When the plant is rebuilt 1t will be somewhat larger, the increased pay | roll putting more money into distribution. | Before the fire the company paid out l about $10,000 month.
 l Henry w Savage, a Cincinnati capital
 ist who has become interested in Alabama | ore property was at the Alabama hotel | today. MT. Savage is developing some | mines near Piedmont, in this county.
 Specialists have been wont to consider a | large deposit of brown ore an impossi- bility, but MT. Savage claims to have d 1 ledge on his property, where he has un- covered deposits of enormous size. A
 railway extension to his mines has been | projected.
 | w K Easterling of Talladega was | brought to the city yesterday by Deputy | Marshall King on charge of selling l whisky without license. He was given | a hearing before Commissioner Randolph l and was acquitted of the charge.
 | Easterling is a merchant of Taladega
 and several of the city's officials appeared 1 in his behalf at the trial.
 | Mrs. James Bolt was accidentally shot yesterday afternoon by her fifteen-year-old l brother, named Summers. The ball en- | tered her left foot and inflicted a very | painful wound. The boy was playing with | the gun when 1t was accidentally dis 1 charged.
