TALLADEGA

Talladega. November 6.-(Special.)-A W. Sykes, a travelling representative of the Talladega wholesale hardware com pany, was killed by his automobile on the road between Sylacauga and Weo~ gufka Thursday evening" In some man. ner the car was turned over. the wind shield catching MT. Sykes across his neck or chest. A girl and woman near by saw the accident and ran to the car, but were too late to render aid. There were no broken bones, and but one small bruise on his body. Mr. Sykes was pop ular in the city and with all travelling men and had a bright future before him.
 A party of business men visited Noun trie, Ga.. to observe the packing plant at that place on Thursday. Messrs s. c. Oliver. T. & Plowman, R. M. Jemison, S. H. Henderson and others made the trip. It Is the result of their inspection that this section is far more favorable to the maintenance of packing plant than the pine barrens of Georgia. where the plants already established are doing we'll.
 Juries have been called to try criminal cases for the week beginning November g in the city court It is likely that the capital case of Ned Houston. charged with murder. will also be set for day of this term. This case has aroused general interest from the peculiar and savage atrocity of the killing.

F0NV|LLE NAMED
 BY HENDERSON Frank Sanford Appointed to Position of State
 Fire Marshal

Montgomery, November 6.-(Special.)
 Governor Henderson today appointed Will
 liam P. Fonville, former clerk in the of
 fee of the secretary of state, to the office
 of deputy insurance commissioner, and
 Frank Sanford of Montgomery to the
 position of state fire marshal.
 MT. Fonville has been at the capitol
 for several years, having been connected
 with the treasury department during the former administration. He had the in-
 dorsement to the position of deputy in-
 surance commissioner of Brookss Smith. head of the insurance department and
 many other influential Henderson leaders throughout the state.
 Frank Sanford is the son of William ! Hodge Sanford, the governors legal ad- wiser. He is a young man hardly in his 20s, and through his fathers influence was appointed a clerk in the office of the state banking department at the begin ming of the present administration. Later he resigned to accept responsible posi- ton in New York.
 MT Samford's strongest opponent for the position of state fire marshal was w. H. Fuller of Union Springs, who was in- dorsed for the place by a large numb CT of prominent persons throughout the state.

.SAMFO ORD MAY NOT
 GET ANY SALARY
Martin Holds Governors Advisor Cannot Be Paid
 Out of Contingent Fund

Montgomery, November 6.-(Special) William Hodge Sanford of Montgom- cry, legal adviser to Governor Hen derson, may not receive any salary for his services. although he has been connected in a legal capacity with the executive department since the begin ming of the present administrations
 It has just become known that At torney General William l.. Martin, in verbal opinion to the state auditor, informed that official that the gover- nor has no authority to pay MT. Sam ford out of his contingent fund, and if this unofficial opinion shall be up- held by the courts there will be no way of paying the governors legal ad- wiser for his services.
 Mir. Sanford has not yet presented q bill for his services but should he do so and the auditor receive the gover- nor's voucher for the payment out of the contingent fund. it is more than likely that the auditor will decline to issue his warrant without authority of the attorney general. That official, however, does not think the governor can pay Mir. Samford's services out of that fund, and if called upon for a formal opinion, will so rule.

.ALMON WILL RUN
 FOR SECOND TERM Carmichael Says Present Intention Is Not to
 Run for Congress

Montgomery, November 6-(Specia1.) Judge E. B. A1mon of Tuscumbia. con gressman from the Eighth district. was Ia visitor in Montgomery this week. Judge Almon announced that he will run for reelection in the next elec- tion and spoke confidently of his chances of success. He said he did not know of anyone who will oppose him.
 T do not think I shall have any difficulty in securing the nomination for another term in the spring pri- mary" Judge Almon told The Age Herald correspondent. Tt has been a long established precedent in Alabama to re-elect congressman. for it takes a representative in Congress two years to familiarize himself with conditions, and it takes him many years to ob- tees"
 Another prominent citizen of the Eighth district in Montgomery this week was Speaker A. H. Carmichael of Tuscumbia. Speaker Carmichael has frequently been mentioned as a prob able candidate for Congress, though he declared today that he has no political plans.
 'It is true that I have been urged to run for Congress, but as yet have made no plans," said Speaker Car michael. Tt is not my present inten- tion to run for that office"
 Both Judge A1mon and Speaker Car michael have many strong friends in the Eighth district and should both enter the race the issue might be close However, it is not likely that Judge Almon will be opposed by his fellow townsman.

DECATUR

Decatur, November 6-(Special) )-Poli- tics is getting lively in this county and a number of men have already announced next year.
 For the nomination for probate judge there are up to this time the following announcements: M. D. Wiggins, editor of the Hartselle Enterprise; Melvin Hut son, solicitor of the law and equity court. For tax collector, Charles c. Robertson. For tax assessor, Frank J. TrOup.
 It is quite probable that Judge William F. Skeggs, who is present judge of pro L. P. Troup of New Decatur will later on announce for probate judge
 Thomas H. Williams has announced for judge of the inferior court, while 1t is talked that Eugene Ferris. A. H. Irons and others will very likely announce for judge of this court within a few days.
 Owing to the shipment of whisky into the Decaturs. the express business has increased greatly during the past year. At the Decatur office alone the increase in the express receipts was over s1600 last
 
 month as compared with October of last year. There were over 5000 more pack ages handled by the express company last month than were handled for the same month of last year Over 80 quarts of whisky a day have been received by the express company.
 And on all of this liquor the state and county and city does not receive one cent of revenue. Owing to this fact the reve- nue of the two Decaturs and of the coun- ty has been greatly decreased under pro- hibition. In saloon days the saloons paid the city of Decatur an annual license of 5000 each. This deficit has been met by higher privilege licenses on other lines of business.
 County Demonstrator High says that in the Neal precinct near Danville, this county, blackleg has just been discovered among some of the cattle. He thinks it can be stamped out in a short while, as 1t was discovered in time.

FELL CITY

Pell City, November 6.-(Special.)-The Western Union Telegraph company has moved it's office uptown in connection with the St. Clair Phone company.
 The Pell City cotton mills started up on full time again this week. Owing to shortage of dye stuffs this company has been running only four days a Week for several months. The increased pay roll will be welcome to local merchants.
 The safe of Maddox & Elliott at Eason- vile was dynamited Thursday night with less of about s60 in money. Vigorous ef- forts are being made to locate the bur- glars.
 The ginning season is sufficiently ad vanced to estimate that the crop in this section will not run over 70 per cent of last year and may be smaller. Perfect picking weather has added to the yield.
