Cullman, February 21.-tSpeciaL)- County politics is warming up In this county now and tho outlook for a strenuous campaign for the different county offices Is indeed promising. There have already been since the meeting of the county democratic eX- ecutive committee number of can didates announced for the various of fees and there are yet several others who have made known their intentions of making the fight
 The announcement of D. o. Mckoy for the office of tax collector. also that of F. B. Humphries for the same office, has been made and there are others who will enter the race for this office within the next few days. C. C. Copeland a very prominent business man. Is so far the only man who is seeking the nomination for tax asses sor, yet it is safe to predict that that nomination will go by default
 D. V. Smith and Charles Seibert are the only aspirants to the superintend- ent of education office. It is hardly likely that any more announcements will be made for this place. The county treasurer's office is being sought by J. D. Searcy A. J. Casey and J. II. Ar wood.

DIES SUDDENLY IN HOTEL AT GADSDEN Mrs. M. A. Trammel Bursts
 Blood Vessel SMALL BOY ROBBED
Cold Wave Strikes Gadsden-POll Tax Collections Nearly $6000-Em- ploye Sues for Loss of
 Several Fingers

Gadsden, February 21.-(Special) )-While taking dinner at local hotel at noon to- day, Mrs. M. A Trammel, manager of the local office of the Postal Telegraph company, was taken suddenly Ill and died before physician could reach her. Mrs. Trammel had been at work in the office during the morning hours and had made no complaint of feeling sick until she had seated herself at the dining table and she then remarked she was feeling chilly and went to the kitchen to warm. She returned in a few minutes and asked l some one to help her to a bed where she could lie down. Friends assisted her but she was dead by the time they had laid her down. When the physician arrived, who had been hastily summoned, he pro- | nounced the woman dead and gave the cause as the bursting of blood vessel 70 the brain.
 Mrs. Trammel was about 45 years old and is survived by husband. The fu- neral will be held tomorrow.
 When on his way to his home in East Gadsden last night about 10 o'clock and at the east end of the Coosa river bridge, Homer Smith was set upon by highway men and robbed of se7 after being choked into insensibility. He at once reported the matter to the police as soon as he re- covered from the attack and a search was made for his assailants but without avail.
 The cold wave struck Gadsden on sched- ule time today. There was a severe cleo trical storm last night and when the sky cleared this morning the drop in the tenn perature came quick and fast. The fall was about 70 degrees during the day.
 Tom Whorton, a former employe of the pany, has brought. suit against the com pany to recover s5Ooc damages for the loss of several fingers. While engaged in un- loading rails for the company one of these fell on his hands and severed two fingers of the right hand and one on the left, leaving him a permanent cripple.
 The poll tax collections for the county during the past year was $5694 as against S3115 during the previous year. The cor 1ections were $500 in excess of those of 1909 when the amendment campaign was on, which was the heaviest collections for a year until the present.
 It is predicted that the meeting of the county republican convention at Attalla on Saturday will be marked by consider able friction. There will be an effort made to inject the liquor question into the de- Alterations of that body and this is ,er- tain to create row as there is consider able division on this matter.
