PLAN ID ENTERTAIN
 KNIGHTS ROYALLY Grand Lodge Meets in Annis- ton at Early Date TO BUY NEW ENGINES Machinery to Re Installed at Woodstock Furnaces-Knox Is Optimistic.
 Alabama Hotel Being
 Improved
TO BUY NEW ENGINES

Anniston, April 20.-(Special) )-The ar engagements which are being made for the entertainment of the grand lodge of the Knights of Pythias of Alabama are more elaborate than any that have ever been undertaken in Anniston, and when the knights convene in Anniston next month, probably for the last time outside of Montgomery. they will be the recipients of unusual honors.
 Anniston entertained the knights four years ago. That convention was pro nounced the best iever held in the state, from a standpoint of entertainment, and when the Anniston delegates went out after the convention again last year to the session at Florance, they had to es- tablish a precedent, as the knights have never before met twice in the same city in such a short length of time.
 Realizing this, Capt. A. M. Humphries, chairman; D. H. Smith of Rathbone lodge, and J. F. Spearman of Calhoun lodge, constituting the committee on en- tertainment, want to make the last con- vention held outside of the capital city, where the Pythian temple has been es- tablished, the greatest ever held, and they are receiving the liberal co-opera- ton of the citizens of Anniston.
 It has been decided to have the ses- sion of the grand lodge held in the Cal houn county court house, and Col. Ross Blackmon has been invited to deliver the address of welcome.

JEFFRIES PUTS IN
 VERY BUSY DAY

Benlomond, Cal, April 2O.-Three rounds of fast boxing with Bob Arm strong, the big negro pugilist, was the most interesting feature of Jeffries' training today.
 Jeffries had been instructd by Berger to put some steam behind his punches. He obeyed so well that Armstrong was more than willing to quit at the end of three rounds.
 Jeffries' left-hand punch landed sew eral times with telling effect on the ne- gro. At the end of the match Jeffries was willing to go another round or two, but Armstrong refuse l.
 Jeffries reversed the regular order of things at the camp today. He crowded full days labor into the morning ses+ sion as though anxious to make up for his lay-off.
 Besides boxing, Jeffries went through his regular indoor work, the hand-ball court alone escaping his notice. There was red tinge to his face and he went at his task with the vim of perfect health.
 Despite his long hard morning Jef- fries could not be content to idle away the afternoon. He went out where the laborers were building a dam to make a swimming hole for him in the San Lorenzo river and toiled away with pick and shovel most of the afternoon, helping them in the work.
 Billy Papke worked by his side.

Colonel Knox Very Optimistic

Col. John B. Knox has returned from a visit to Montgomery and south Ala bama. and he says that he finds the sentiment in favor of his candidacy for United States senator to be growing in that section of the state He has always been strong in and around Montgomery, where he has spent a large part of his time, particularly during the days pre- ceding the last constitutional convention. during which time he lobbied increasingly for the submission to the people of the convention which was the means of elim- ine ting Alabama from the curse Of the negro vote. His friends down there have not forgotten him, he says, and are ral- lying to his support in this race in a way that is most encouraging.

The firm left Birming ham in 1906 and since that time has con- ducted it's business from Decatur, and has carried no bank account in Birming- ham.
