BRANDON MAY RUN
 AGAINST ROBSON

Montgomery, September 26-(Special.)- Judge W. ". Brandon, ex-state auditor and ex-adjutant general, as a possible candidate against Richmond Pearson Hob son for congressman of the Sixth Ala bama district, is information which has been brought to the capital by some of the Sixth district politicians. According to what can be gathered, an immense pressure is being brought to bear upon General Brandon to have him enter the arena, the political enemies of Congress- man Hobson being of the opinion that the Tuscaloosa probate judge can make a bet ter winning fight than any other man in the district.
 General Brandon Is well known through out Alabama, the south and the middle west as a stump speaker, and it is be- lieved that he has on more than one oc- casion turned the political tide in the d. rection of democracy. He has the knack of getting everything he goes after, hence the opposition that he would offer to Con- gressman Hobson, should he enter the fight, would be far reaching.
 From what can be gathered, Congress- man Hobson, by his activity on the side of prohibition, and by his speeches in Maine, has displeased a number Of his constituents, who are anxious to bring out man who is on the local option plat form.

Caheen Brothers

The autumn display of Caheen Bros attracted hundreds, for every fash ionable Birmingham woman is considering her costumes for the fall and winter The windows of the store are most in- teresting, for the management is fortunate in the possession of a really clever dec orator, and the windows themselves are most advantageous. In one of the cen tral cases stood a costume model wearing an elaborate dinner gown from Pacquln. It was built of old gold satin with a magnificent tunic caught Up In front to display the gold foundation but sweep ing to the end of the train in the back. This was fashioned of handsome black chiffon, embroidered in a heavy motif and bordered with broad black fringe. The bodice was draped in surplice ef- feet, both front and back, displaying the embroidered and fringed design. An introduction of gold lace in the bodice adds to the effect of richness. An evening robe which will be worn by some pretty elegante this winter was displayed in the opposite case. It was one of those delicious looking new ombre chiffons- shading from pink to a deep shade to the palest of rose and then white, with a gray shadow where the straight skirt is confined at the waist. The bodice and skirt are delicately embroidered in crys- tai beads with charming effect and a dainty finish is given to the corsage by a. jeweled buckle which is yelled in chif- ion.
 The street gowns are as chic as have ever been shown at Caheen's. One Is built of brown velour de laine and Is severe in line and trimming. Another Is built of chiffon broadcloth--a lovely tail- ored model for afternoon wear in the gold tint The coat has the smart short waist ed effect, the tailoring Is splendid ana the trimmings, buttons and braids are employed with superb effect. The bodtces are exquisite A notable one was. built /of black chiffon and embroidered with a conventionalized rose motive in queens red-a trimming that was modishly ef- fected. Another was soft blue material with short sleeves and bolero like yoke

Weather Conditions

Birmingham. September 26, p. m.-The weather has been fair amid pleasant over the entire country during the past "A hours, except in the upper Mississippi valley, where light rains have fallen. Thunder showers have occurred also in southern Florida and the gulf coast of Texas. At Tampa 2.1S inches have fal- len today. The rain area of the upper Mississippi is caused by the low that is central over the Red river valley, and the high pressure prevailing over the re- mainder of the country accounts for the clear skies and pleasant temperatures that have prevailed. In the lower Mississippi. however, in the trough between the two areas of high pressure, temperatures of % degrees were recorded.
 In the cotton belt temperatures continue high and rainfall is reported only at coast points.

[ of Irish lace. The shopping bags are handsome fringed affairs of velvets and Oriental materials, some embroidered and others brocaded in original effect. Hand kerchiefs and stocks, motor veils, wraps and novelties are the prettiest that the store has ever shown.
 The dress materials show a bewildering variety ranging from the heavy Scotch weaves which are so becoming and serV-
 ceable for street toilettes.-through the smooth weaves which are correct for formal wear and to the fragile and deii- cate tinted evening fabrics which are destined to make the fashionable mou- daine who attends ball and fete in Bir- mingham 8 treat to see. The garnitures which trim the robes are shown in com pany with them and are in keeping with the beauty of the ''building materials" !"
 The hats are the last word in fasn- ions lexicon. Gage, Gerhardt, Fisk and others whose names the milliner conjures with, are among the famous makers rep resented in the lot and Caheen's own mil- liners are very fashionable and have created some smart chapeaux in the new colors and shapes. One of the popular theatre hats was a big black velvet Gage model with smartly curling brim and two slanting ostrich pompons of black and white. Another chic black and white hat was SildljeI DldCk VeIVet ana SaIln, whose brim in front was short and sur mounted by nest of white birds two birds artistically and realistically placed. This was the smartest tailored nat exhibited dressy and very lovely after noon model was in the kings blue velour. with turned down brim and Oriental em- broidery surrounding the very tall crown. A blue plume was gracefully placed to fall across the back and in high cas- cade. From one of the best salons came tall turned down model surprisingly scooped and crushed and "mangled," as one woman said, but evidently the most fashionable of bonnets. Lined with pink 1t was built of black velvet. There was big black velvet for the woman whose wardrobe is not complete without the all black hat. Its crown was covered with a black net fringe bordered scarf, much like the quaint theatre caps which Ca heen is showing, and at the side stand cluster of black French plumes There are dozens of other pretty models show ing the chic and character which makes this one credit to Caheen Bros.

 All the space has been taken by the merchants and other business men of the town at remunerative prices, which with pr oceeds of the gate receipts and other money, will put the association on sound financial footing and enable them to provide fair ground of their own for the next season.
 There will be several free attractions tbis season--somethng which they have heretofore been unable to secure. Next season it is hoped that even more of these will be secured.
 Exhibits have begun to arrive from several sections of the county. They are the finest that have ever been put on in Cullman county. Without doubt the out- look is the most promising for the most successful fair yet held =,
