| Tom Kilby is no "highbrow." He
 holds no college diploma, yet he got
 the basis of good education in the
 public schools. and since then has
 added to his stock of knowledge by
 studying as he was making his living.
 One of the honors of which he is most
 proud was that he served as mem home town. and took a pride in the city's schools because it was in the public schools that he had got his start on the highway of learning.
 I am not writing this appreciation with the thought of my friend Tom Kilby as a candidate, but as man. whom I have long known, and always liked for his sincerity and straight | forwardness He has his fauts as every other red-blooded man has, but ! he is no hypocrite. and he would not | thank me if I tried to make him out a | saint.

 see, where Tom was born in 1865. I do not think it hurts any one to be well born. and I rather like him
 the more for marrying into one of the aristoeratic old families of Barbour county, the Clarks, Mrs. Kilby's father, Col. Whitfield Clark having com manded ga1lantly the 39th Alabama in- 1 fantry regiment in the war of seccs- sion. In her veins also flows revolu- | tionary blood as she is descended on her maternal side from Gen. Peter Horry, a distinguished revolutionary | soldier of South Carolina.
 | I cannot say that it was predes- tined that Tom should run for gov ernor, but anyway, if he had wanted to escape it. in the name of common sense why did he pick his wife out of the
