 There were several surprises brough. out in the final count here yesterday among which was that the official count threw this county into the Abercrombie column by majority of "A votes. It was believed and unofficial returns showed that Atkins had carried the county by a small vote and the final count was somewhat surprising. The official can Vass or the returns showed that Wood- l row Wilson received four votes instead | of one, as was formerly reported Oscar Underwood received the highest vote of any HdHle on tne tlcket m tniS county, 1lS3, with Congressman Burnett follow ing close with 1l52. J. D. Searcy was given the nomination for county treas. urer by majority of 39 votes This was one of the doubtful cases and only the official count settled the matter.
 The delegates who were elected and willing to go to the state convention are John F. Beyer. J. R. Brown, A. A. Grif- filth. Frank V. Tiford. J. O. Taylor. IT orlxa Green, J. J. Kulman, W. H. Yearwood J. c. Land and J. H. Lowery. Only two of the anti-prohibition ticket for dele gates were elected, the others being de- feated with the exception of J. B. Brown and A. A. Griffith.
 There is no talk whatever of a con- test for any of the offices and every body seems to be well satisfied with the result of the primary. The democrats will make an effort to get together and carry the entire ticket to success in the coming general election.

AUBURN GLEE CLUB
 HERE WEDNESDAY Boys Expect a Genuine Au- burn Crowd at the High
 School Auditorium

The Auburn Glee club will be heard in Birmingham at the high school au- ditorium next Wednesday evening, be- ginning at SIS o'clock. This decision was announced by the management last night following the initial appearance of the club in Birmingham. The club was scheduled to sing last night but on account of the rather inclement weather the conclusion of the Educa- tional association meetings and the in- convenience of a Saturday night enter tainment the audience was small, and only about half of the regular pro- gramme was given.
 The boys believe that when things have settled down this week they can get a genuine Auburn audience in Bir mingham.

The. fact Is that the school men and
women, themselves, should be able
to take the lead in working out these
problems and yet We have no doubt
that even DR.. Judson's plan will be
regarded as susceptible to criticism
Some are quite likely to say that,
especially for the professions and the
sciences. there is no need common
surate with the disadvantages of
society that calls for a shorter route
into life's most serious service. They
win be disposed TO consider that q
doctor or a lawyer. for instance,
under the age of 25 is really not a
prime necessity.
There is much to commend the
Judson plan. even to an untutored
lay mind. His idea is this: From
the age Of to IL the child should be
In the elementary school; from IL to
Is in the secondary school; Is to Is,
the college "a junior eollege); after
is. the university. Then, Of course.
there is nothing TO prevent those
desiring to continue their edueations
as far as they like. With the essen
tials of economy and efficiency in
mind, We shall have to look thor
oughly into some such plan--though
this may not - the only plan.
