BANKS ELECT OFFICERS

, Anniston, January 12. Special J.
 The practically simultaneous announce ment of Thomas E. Kilby for state sena- tor from the Seventh district and that of H. D. McCarty for the same office, to succeed Fred L.. Blackmon, who has an- nounced himself as a candidate for Con- gross, were made late yesterday. These two announcements have set the political pot to boiling good and an interesting If not spectacular race is promised. gen. eral discussion of the merits of the two men and their chances for election has been indulged in freely here all day, both candidates having strong support. Just what their platforms will be is not yet known, but in view of the fact that Mir. Kilby has always been an ardent pro- hibitionist his race will no doubt be made on that platform.
 MT. McCarty was also a strong pro- hibition supporter and has already ex- pressed himself as satisfied with the re- suits that have been obtained by it. Both men are deservedly popular in their re- spective positions. MT. Kilby is a bus mess man of unusual ability, being presi- dent of the Kilby Locomotive works here and the Alabama Frog and Switch com pany of Birmingham, and served two terms as mayor of Anniston. MT. Me Carty is recognized as one of the ablest lawyers in the state, a splendid orator and was one of the leaders here in the fight against the proposed constitutional amendment. He has served for a num- Der of years as referee in bankruptcy in the district and has on more than one occasion demonstrated his ability as lawyer by giving weighty opinions on important questions He has always been strong party man, always in the fight in support of his candidate and his con- victions, and has never before sought an office of any kind.
 The anual meeting and election of of ficers of the different banks in Annis- ton were held yesterday, only one change of any importance being made fin the three. At the meeting of the directors of the First National the resignation of A. J. Goodwin as cashier necessitated a change in that office and H. A. Young, vice president. will succeed him. MT Goodwin resigned to become president of the firm of A. J. Goodwin Co.,, tho company having bought the business of the B. l.. Turner Real Estate and In- surance company.
 At tho City National s. l.. Galbraith was elected assistant cashier and L. E. Ogletroe was added to the board of direc- tors. No other changes were made at this bank
 At the Anniston National all the old of ficers were reelected. Business at all three banks was shown to be in & flour ishing condition and the outlook for 1910 is still brighter. It can safely be said that Anniston has three of the strongest na- tional banks in the state
 An interesting legal complication has been brought to light about 4-acre tract of land in beat owned and occupied by A. Dishman, in which 1t seems that an heir failed to properly sign a deed to the property when 1t was sold back in the cos. It seems that the land or iginally was owned by MT. McCullars and after his death and that of one of his children, the heirs sold the property but overlooked the forfnality of prop erly signing the deed and 1t is on this technicality that the heirs of these heirs are trying to recover the property. It is not believed that anything will come of their efforts, however. as the law govern ing limitations win no doubt protect the present owner
