 Thomas E. I<ilby, amendment candi- date, who was still in the city Saturday, contends that the voters at the proper time will know that there will be no other amendment candidate. He says he is assured that MT. Musgrove will tends that all agitation and reports about dissension in the amendment ranks comes from those who are opposed to the amendment and who are causing their wish to be father to the thought.
 MT Kilby visited all offices in the state capitol and talked with state off ciaIs and employees Saturday. He called at the office of John H. Wallace, Jr., one of his opponents, but as MT. Wallace was campaigning in north Alabama he was forced to leave his caEa. He called at the office of Charles E. Teasley, an other opponent, in the county courthouse Friday It was there he ran into Will liam w. Brandon, still another opponent. Judge Brandon also had called to pay his respects to their mutual opponent, Judge Teasley. Their actions would in- dicate that this campaign will be an Alphonso-Gaston affair, compared with

COMMITTEE NOT KNOWN

Chairman Smith has not made public the names of the subcommittee, so the public does not know whether the Bir mingham meeting was made up of this committee or of loyal anti-amendists but the Birmingham dispatch which came from sources friendly to the anti-amend- ists announced that the conferees dropped in to see what progress had been made toward the organization of the state against the amendment. This would indicate that the conferees had a specific duty charged against them.
 One report during this week was that those opposed to the amendment would support William W. Brandon, believing him to be the strongest man against the amendment This subject was brought to the attention of MT. Brandon Friday and he declared that he knew nothfns about 1t and he had not been consulted. Judge Brandon said he wanted the votes of all persons in the state, but he de- sired to make it plain that he was not willing to tie himself to any one faction
 in this fight. He said he was opposed to the ratification of the amendment, but in favor of the retention of the present prohibition laws and if elected governor he would veto any bill which would provide for the return of the saloons or would change the present prohibition laws in any way except to make them stronger
 KOLB'S PLAN NOT SUPPORTED
 Little support is being shown for the plan proposed by Reuben F. Kolb of put ting out anti-amendment candidates for all state offices and making the hght on this issue i'll every contest In the state While Mr. Kolb's candidacy for associate member of the public service commission has attracted the usual at- tention (which comes to new entrant in contest, it does not seem that his proposal can receive any general support
 in the state.
 Mr. Kolb contends that states rights is the issue on which the battle must pc fought and that every candidate should be put on record regardless of whether or not he, if elected, would have any thing to do with the ratification or re- jection of the prohibition amendment.

Ashes Make Good Fertilizer

 Do not bewail the fact that the price or commercial fertilizers has gone be- ycnd the reach of all except the wealthy farmer. It is because potas- sium oxide. one of the important in gredients of a good fertilizer has Jumped from $400 to $500 a ton. But any farmer can produce his own po- tassium oxide from the fresh ash of burned twigs branches and other parts of such hardwood trees as the beech. birch and maple.

BIRMINGHAM MEETING

Anti-amendists held another meeting in Birmingham this week, but insofar as is known no definite action was taken affecting the gubernatorial campaign or the fight on the federal prohibition amendment. This time the clans repre- sentatives gathered quietly in Birming
 ham and went over the situation. The morning after the conference a dispatch from Birmingham stated that Forney Johnston, in all probability, would make his formal announcement for governor during the next few days. It also stated that the prohibitionists were not satis- fled with Thomas E. Kilby and probably would pull him out of the race in favor

 The usual quietude surrounded the meeting in Birmingham and no mention was made of it at this time. However, one person residing in Montgomery who attended it remarked after his return:
 There was excellent atmosphere for good newspaper story" Whether he meant that matters of momentous import ance were handled or that the general setting of the meeting was worthy of a good newspaper story one could not tell.
 It is supposed that the Birmingham meeting was made up of the subcommit- tee of the general committee which met in Montgomery last month. At the Mont gomery meeting Edward D.
