.BLACKMON DENIES COMPROMISE RUMOR Will Not Withdraw After
 Serving Two Terms ASSESS CANDIDATES Revenue From County Primary Will Amount to About $660-Jail
 Matter Deferred Account
 of Dr. Oates Illness

Anniston, February 1S.-tSpecial. )-Re- ferring to the belief expressed here to the effect that he will withdraw from his present position as representative of the Fourth district in the lower house of Congress as soon as he has served his in- dorsement term, Congressman Fred l.. Blaekmon has made an emphatic denial of his expressed intention to pursue this course.
 The present congressman also discred- it's the rumor to the effect that there had been a compromise between himself and Carson c. Whtson, who recently died at his home in Talladega or with political leaders of Taladega county, by reason of which Mir Whitson abandoned his pro posed race for Congress in opposition to MT Backmon when he announced for election as the successor of former Con- gressman w. B. Craig.
 BlackmOn Is Positive
 Mr Blaekmon Is now on the job at Washington, and he makes these denials in a letter to an Anniston friend, his ex- act words being as follows: There was never any compromise with MT. Whitson  for Congress, and I have never intimated or suggested to any human being that l would only serve out my present term and my indorsement term"
 The belief that MT. Blackmon would retire after serving two terms. accord ing to the congressman's friends here, probably grew out of the precedent es- tablished by Congressmen Bowie and Craig, his predecessors, and the death. Of Carson Whitson only revived an old rumor circulated by his political enemies, it is said, at the time of his announcement. The rumor gained credence through the fact that he is without opposition at the present time within his own party. It is believed, however, that his denial will put a quietus on both rumors.
 Congressman Blaekmon defeated J. NJ. Atkins at the polls in the general cleo ton two years ago. Mir. Atkins is now mentioned for renomination by the repub- lican party, and it is believed that he will not be able to cause the democratic rep resentative much trouble in the second race However, MT. Blackmon is keping in touch with his district. and is not neg lectng the use of the mails in furthering to leave his post at present on account of important local measures which he has fathered
