KELLER WILL HELP
 PERRY COUNTY
Goes to Advise Good Roads Association Along Eco
 homie Lines

Montgomery, May 5.-(Spacial)-W. s. Keller, state highway engineer, has re- ceived an invitation from the local roads association of Marion county to deliver an address before that organization in Marion on next Tuesday night, May g. It is understood that Perry county will vote a bond issue for $1Oo,00O to be ap- piled to the construction of roads in that county, and MT Keller has been asked to confer with the board of county com missioners of Perry with a view to mak- ing suggestions as to the best way of constructing these highways.
 Mir. Keller will go to Marion early next week and will probably spend several days in that county. An expert engineer himself, MT. Keller will be able to give the county commissioners many excel lent ideas on the subject of road build ing, and he will probably go over the roads in that county before returning to this city.
 The state highway commission is pre- pairing to begin work in real earnest within the next few weeks. At present Engineer Keller Is giving thorough study to the needs of the various coun- ties of the state, so that the department can proceed with the greatest facility on the work of constructing state high ways just as quickly as everything is ir readiness.
 Of the $154,o0o appropriated for the con- struction of good roads in the state, about 5000 will be apportioned to each of the several counties, this fund being con- tingent upon the raising of a similar amount by the counties receiving the ap- propriation.

LIVELY FIGHT FOR
 VACANT JUDGESH|P Application for Chambers County Probate Judge
 ship Reach Governor

Montgomery, May 5-(Special) al)-Appli- cations for the probate judgeship of Chambers county have begun to reach the governors desk. A vacancy in that of flee was created by the death of Judge vardaman, who had been probate judge only a few months before taken with his last illness
 It is anticipated that the number of ap- plicants for the probate judgeship of Chambers county will be nearly as large as the number who applied for that of flee in Autauga county on the death of McNeil Smith. Chambers county has a large number of prominent citizens, and 1t has been pointed out that several well known residents of that county will ask for the appointment.
 Among prominent Chambers county cit | izens who have been mentioned as prob | able applicants for the office are W. c. | Thomas of Lafayette. Y. L. Burton of Lafayette and Judge A. J. Driver, Jr., of Lafayette. Both MT. Thomas and MT. Burton were members of the House of Representatives in the recent session of 1 the legislature, and Judge Driver was probate judge before he was defeated for that office by the late incumbent Judge 1 Vardaman.
 Special interest attaches to MT. Thom-
 as probable interest in the office. He
 is the father of Judge W. H. Thomas
 of Montgomery and Judge c. E. Thomas
 probate judge of Autauga county. It is understood that Representative Thomas | was largely responsible for his sons ap- pointment to the probate office in Au- tauga county and the suggestion has | been made that the father may desire to emulate his sons in wearing the Judicial robes.
 MT. Thomas was the chairman of the house committee on appropriations during the recent session of the leg islature, and he did much imports Tt work during the assembly of the law makers in this city. His colleague, MT. Burton, also took conspicuous part in the legislature, and it has been sug- gested that he will probably offer for the office.
 Judge Driver has already served 12 years as probate judge of Chambers, was a strong O'Neal supporter in the | governors campaign, and is believed to have strong following in his be- half. He was defeated in the primary | last year by Judge Vardaman. | Another applicant for the office is | J. J. Robinson, Jr., the son of Judge | J. J. Robinson, who was appointed pro- bate judge of Chambers county in 1882 | by the first Governor ONeal. Judge Robinson has already called at the gov ernors office in the interest of his son, and it is understood that strong effort will be made to secure the younger Robinson's appointment. 1 There is likely to be a9lively fight | Tor the office. It Is believed that a large number of applicants will be
 made for the office, and the governor
 will probably have considerable work
 in selecting a man for the place.

 Ellam anxiously awaits the arrival of the Birmingham team here as he wishes to return to Baronville. He is also anx- ious to return to the fray and is in good
 spirits over the rapid and thorough mend- ing of what was at first thought to be an injury that would effect his ball playing all season.

ELI PARKER SELLS
 TWO YEARS CROP
Industrious Farmer Gets 15 Cents for Cotton and Raises all of
 the Necessities

Fort Deposit, May 5.-(Special)-A sight of unusual interest for this time of the year was witnessed today by the peo- pie of Fort Deposit when caravan of wagons passed through the streets loaded with bales of cotton which represented the entire cotton crop grown on the plan
 tation of Eli Parker for the last two
 years This cotton was held for 15 cents,
 which price was paid for the entire lot
 MT. Parker remarked to the manager of the local warehouse that before he would
 have sold his cotton for less than 15 cents he would have left it stored at home as
 legacy for his children.
 MT. Parker, who lives about two miles
 southwest of Fort Deposit, is one of
 Lowndes county's most prosperous farm
 CTS He came to Lowndes county about % years ago with comparatively nothing of this worlds goods and rented the farm
 which he now owns with other lands which are fertile and have been worked up to a high state of cultivation.
 Mir Parker stated that the secret of his
 success is in raising everything at home
 to making the farm self sustaining, and
 everything pertaining to the comforts of life, with the two exceptions of salt and iron have been furnished by the farm. MT. Parker also claims the distinction of having raised and thoroughly educated one of the largest families of children Tn this community.
 Yesterday Mrs. M. F. Goodwin and young daughter narrowly escaped death while out driving about five miles west of Fort Deposit. It seems that while passing a herd of cattle being brought to market, the horse being spirited one. became unruly, dashlng down a steep incline, overturning the buggy. throwing the occupants to the
 ground. badly lacerating their faces and otherwise injuring them, which necessl- tated immediate medical attention.
