Anniston,' April 25.-(Special. .)-Charles Mitchell, who struck Oliver Chtwood, a brother-in-law of Judge H. D. Merrill, in the head with a stone a few days ago, as result of which Chitwood had to un- missing, and his aged parents have be- come very uneasy. fearing that he has also met with foul play. He fled to the mountains after the affray with chitwood and has not been seen since. There is said to be no longer any danger of Chit woods not recovering and Mitchells sur render has been expected.
 Summer School Dates Set President C. w. Daugette of the Ala bama Normal college at Jacksonville has announced the dates for the summer school at that institution this year. The special session will begin on May 27 and end on July 15. The course of study is aimed particularly with view of fitting the students for the state examinations.
 Southern to Improve Tracks
 With view of taking care of the in- creased traffic from the north and east to Mobile incident to the opening of the tdHd1ld cdndi, the southern Railway company is said to have plans under headway to award contracts for consider able improvements of their tracks on the Mobile division, south of here. The road bed will be slagged and the ballasting made so as to carry the heavier engines and increased tonnage, which will also ne- cessitate larger rails.
 Viewed Olympic Death Scene
 Sam SchaI1pr Annicfpn a t,f has just returned from a visit to the old world, embracing in his travels London, Liverpool, Leipsig and Vienna. He was aboard the French vessel that was sig nailed for relief by the distressed Titanic and passed the iceberg which sent the Titanic to it's doom, viewing the scene of the great marine disaster, which, he says was the cause of the suspension of all gaiety for the remainder of the voyage on his vessel after the news of the Titanic wreck was received.
 Calhoun Without Representation
 If either the. Parks law or the Smith law, upon which Alabamas regulation of the liquor traffic is based, should be de- clared Illegal or invalidated and a spe- cial session of the legislation called to consider the question, Calhoun county, of which this city is the sea, would be with out representation in the lower house.
 This situation grows out of the appoint ment of c. D. Martin of Jacksonville to the office of back tax commissioner and the appointment of J. J. Arnold to the office of probate judge, Mir. Martin suc- ceefling John s. Mooring and Judge Ar hold succeeding Judge Emmett F. Crook, resigned.
 The situation Is said 10 be without a parallel in the history of the county. It was anticipated as soon as the appoint ment of Judge Arnold was made by Coy ernor O'Neal and was the subject of con siderable discussion, although it was not believed that an extra session would be called before the next election of county representatives.
 Former Mayor T. F. Kilby is state sen- ator from this county and will be on the job, but he is without colleagues in the lower house. c. H. Young has announced for election to fill one of the vacancies and c. D. Kline has been mentioned as probable candidate for another
 Should the election be called to attend to the tdslnesr of the special session. which would probably bring up the ques- tion of statewide prohibition again, a warm fight would result in this county as the question of prohibition has figured extensively in recent campaigns, and it seems that the prohibtionists have about gained back the ground they lost in the amendment campaign. and through their failure to carry this county for Mallory u the last state election.
