During the past week the lust for hu-
man blood reaped a ghastly harvest and
accident took its toll, as no less than
seven homieides were reported to the
county eoroner's office. Added to this is
the sensational fact that there were no
less than three Or four shooting and cut

KILBY HAS STRONG

HAS THEM COMMITTED
Admission Man Is Now in New York
But Is Expected to Be in the
State Again By
August |
by HUGH W. Honlsnrs

In some regards, the most interesting
race in the present state campaign is
that for lieutenant governor. The feature
is that there is but one applicant. for the
job. In this light. it is doubly interesting
to note that Thomas E. Kilby of Anns-
ton, Calhoun's senator and one of the
leading business men of the state. the can
didate. is making as vigorous a campaign
as he could make had he opposition of
the most formidable character
There has been talk of pending opposi-
ton, but it is not believed that it will be
developed. There are reasons for this be-
lief. In the first place, the position is
considered one carrying with it only an
honor. In the second place, the race,
should opposition develop, would prove an
expensive pastime. In the third place,
MI. Kilby has practically "sewed up the
state, for his friends in every section
have hastened 20 commit themselves.

mato club. was in Russellville and
Franklin county Thursday for the pur-
pose of advancing some helpful advice
tQ the members of the Franklin County
clubs and also TO talk over the coming
season for tomato canning with Mrs
Ada James of Red Bay. who is special
instructor for Franklin county. Mrs
Robertson returned TO Auburn yester-
daY.
She was here more for the purpose
of getting the girls to cooperate in
the movement for the holding of a
county fair in the fall and she urged
especially of the young ladies that
they be very careful in complying with
the law governing the canning of all
tomatoes. One young lady member of
the club last year canned 2500 cans

Garry Herrmanpk president of the

alarmed at talk of war by players,
according to his own statement. He
has received copy of the demands
to be made, and believes there will
be little difficulty In coming to an
amicable agreement
There is bound to be a struggle
over the reserve clause, and some
trouble may arise over one other de-
mand, that major league players be
given the right to buy their own re-
lease at the waiver price after all
major clubs have waived on their
services. ...4 4
This would save the players from
going to minor clubs which were OBJ
jectionable to them.
In this clause the players have the
right end. When a man has given
his services to a club for several
years, and has outlived his usefulness
in the majors, it is only just that he
be allowed to pick the minor club
where he wants to end his career.
Such plan would enable many play
ers to become managers of minor
league teams. -

Child's Burns End Fatally.

Chester, May 30.-Mr. and Mrs. w.
A. Wilson lost their 12-months-old
son, Wylie Hennies, yesterday after
noon by getting burned so frightfully
that death soon came as grateful
relief to his intense suffering.
Mrs. Wilson left her son for little
while to attend to some work in the
orchard and arranged chairs around
the fire in a manner that she thought
the little boy could not get past to
the fire.
Presently she returned and as she
opened the door she witnessed the
horrible sight of seeing her chlld's
clothes in flames. She grabbed blan-
kets and soon smothered the fire, but
the child had breathed the flames,
which the physician declared was the
real cause of his death.
