 INDEPENDENT ASSOCIATIONS
 Beside the departments devoted to bodies of teachers interested in different phases of teaching, there are several in- dependent associations which hold their meetings at the same time as the state association and are affiliated with it. These departments and independent as- sociations have prevented trouble that was feared a few years ago-that the association, in growing so large, was be- coming unwieldy.

Bv l.. S. BETTY

Montgomery, April 1.-(Special)-The week in politics has been devoid of any new developments. The various candl- dates are active, but apparently passively so. They appear to be confining their efforts largely to correspondence and in securing the aid of local leaders.
 The only surprise of the week was fur nished by James A. Mitchell of Birming- ham, candidate for chief justice of the supreme court. MT Mitchell, as is well known, was recently cited by the supreme court for contempt. The case was dis missed by the court upon the formal presentation to that tribunal of MT. Mitchelrs apology, in which he disclaimed any intention of reflecting upon the in- tegrity of the court, admitted that he had made unjustifable statements, and begged to be pardoned for infringing upon the freedom of the press by indulging ln criticism of an unwarranted nature
 THOUGHT IT WAS END
 That was thought to be the end of the affair between Mr. Mitchell and the court. Well known political leaders of Mont gomery thought so, and they gave free expression to their opinion. The Mont gomery Age Herald correspondent, forti- fled with the views of the most impor- tant lawyers and citizens of the city, sug- gested in a story to The Age-Heraid that inasmuch as the casus belli had been removed. MT Mitchell might, In order to prove his sincerity, withdraw from the race for chief justice.
 To this story, MT. Mitchell replied He thanked The Age-Herald correspondent for his "gratuitous statement and ln- formed the public that he was sull ln the race at the same time repeating certain of the charges for which he had made abject apology to the court. MT Mitchell also wrote to the author of the story. He informed him that the issue had not been removed. but had been '.raised by the contempt proceedings, and that his candidacy became impera- tive under the new issue raised
 That was the only surprise of the week in politics-Mr Mitchell's apology to the court for infringing upon the freedom of the press in his criticism of the court ard, after his dismissal, his reteratlon of his charges through the same medium. However. with all respect to MT Mitchell, his candidacy is not taken seriously
 The various other races are progressing suoothly There have been no hltches. Every candidate is laboring with might and main to interest the sovereign voter in his behalf No sensations have marked any of the several contests in weeks, and from present indications, nothlng is destined to happen.
 Every candidate is confident of success, and in fact is the best man offering for the particular office to which ne aspires.
