KO[b AND SEED BOTH FOR GOVERNOR Two Candidates Shake Hands" With Farmer
 Friends

Anniston, August 2s.-(Special)-- The annual gathering of farmers brought to Anniston two men who want the honor of representing Ala bama in important positions. R. F. Kolb did not fail to let it be known that he wants to be the next gover- nor of Alabama. When asked by some of his friends if he expected to be in the race for governor the genial captain replied: Yes, 1t is not only my purpose to make the race. but I expect to be elected. I never have had any trouble in getting votes in Ala bama. The only trouble I ever had was in getting them counted and I will not have that trouble now, for we now have in the state an honest ballot and fair count"
 The captain explained that his an- nouncement was tentative, but that he would probably make a formal an nouncement soon. Lieutenant Cover nor Seed was not only there, but there was no man at the barbecue that prob ably shook hands with half as many people as he did. Some of these people felt the grasp of his hand more than once.
 prominent professional man, after being introduced to the lieutenant gov ernor. said: Governor I am for you for governor or any office you want Whereupon Mir Seed said: Friend. give me your hand again." and he was so much delighted that this time 1t was a shake that reached the elbow.
