FRANKLIN RETURNS IN

Montgomery, November I.-(Special)
Returns from Franklin country were re-
ceived by the secretary of state Tues
day morning and the official tabulation
of the vote of Alabama in the general
election November z, will be made by
the secretary of state in the presence of
Governor Henderson Wednesday. This
is the last day and had not Franklin
reported. the tabulation would have been
made without Franklin's vote.
Great interest is being shown in the
proposed tabulation because of the fact
that no one knows what the voters did
with six of the seven constitutional
amendments voted on in the election. In
the list of amendments still in doubt
is the one providing for biennial sessions
of the legislature and one placing open
and savings depositors of banks on the
same basis.

GIVE FINE CONCERT

Very seldom have Ladysmith music
lovers had such treat as the con-
cert, given last evening at the high
school by the Lueck-Diedrich Con
cert Co., proved to be. Every num-
Der was enthusiastically received by
the large audience and encores were
so numerous and persistent as to
leave no doubt that the program was
being greatly enjoyed.
Mr.. Frederic Lueck, basso, and
Mrs George Diedrich, contralto
have voices of great power and rich
ness of tone The exquisite harmony
of their voices in the solos, and the
blending of the two in the duets,
would enthrall any audience. Read
ings by Miss Mundt were also very
entertaining, giving variety to the
program. Miss Laura Lueck, accom-
panist, had splendid command of the
piano, which, by the way, was fur
nished for the evening by Diedrich
& Lane
The entertainment netted a hand
some sum for the Junior highschool
for the benefit of which it was civ
en-. The proceeds will go toward a
fund to be used for the purchase of
