 QUALIFY BY MARCH
 The subcommittee of the county dem ocratic executive committee, which has charge of the conduct of the county campaign, has issued a warning to the candidates that all must qualify with the chairman of that body, Nisbet Ham baugh, prior to March 1, or their names will not appear on the printed ballot. Considerable confusion is said to have arisen among the candidates, due to their belief that registration with the probate judge, which is required by the new primary election law, was suffi- cient to get their names on the ticket. However, the law specifically provides that qualification with the county com mittee is essential before the commit tee is authorized to place the name of any candidate on the official ballot. The offices of the committee are main- at BIO First National Bank building. The members of the subcommittee are E. D. Matthews, chairman; Nisbet Hambaugh secretary; John B. Bethea, Vines, Bessemer; l.. H. Salter, Thomas E. Huey, pr. A. c. Branyon, Pinson; Francis M. Lowe, A. c. Kicks.
 Considerable discussion has been oc- casioned on account of the provision of the new primary election law, which prohibited the county committee, which is required to perform certain duties, from levying any assessment on the can didates to meet these expenses. De- spite the fact that the expenses of printing the ballots are now paid by the county, no provisions were made for paying for the maintenance of an of flee during the two months necessary to receive the qualifications, or to pay the other incidental expenses connected with this work. A number of the can didates have voluntarily contributed, as have some private citizens.
 "We have not yet received quite half the money necessary to meet our eX- penses,' said Nisbet Hambaugh, sec- retary of the subcommittee, yesterday. While there Is absolutely no obliga- tion on the part of any one to make any contribution to meet these expenses, quite a number of the loyal democrats of the county, realizing the situation, have made donations, as have some of the candidates. Since the law provided no way to collect this money, the com mittee has been forced to rely upon voluntary contributions, but these are still quite bit short of the amount which will have to De expended"
