 In the seventh John l.. Burnett. Jr., will have his usual rough-and ready fight for reelection. His opponent al A. Iusk Both are we'll known in the district and both are good campaigners. Many eyes will be turned toward this district until the day of the primary.
 No person has come out in opposition to Congressman Edward ,B. Almon in the Eiehth district and there are many who now believed that no one will seek to de- feat him. It was thought for sometime tnat A. H. Carmichael would oppose him, but he has since been named as assistant attorney general and put in charge of the legal department of the Muscle Shoals development and has no time to think of things political.
 George Huddleston must fight for re- election in the Ninth district but the contest cannot be defined at this time, Reports are that an effort will be made to organize the opposition to Mir Hud- dleston so the issue of Huddlestonism may be decided for all time. MT. Hud- dleston's supporters, of course, are pre- pairing for the contest, knowing that there will be a real fight but believing the opposition cannot line up behind any one candidate

TOMATO GROWING ON
 ENORMOUS SCALE IS
 PLANNED IN GEORGIA
Several Hundred Acres Purchased Near Brunswick by the Nam
 mouth Seed Company

"A deal recently closed by the Mon- mouth Seed company of Matawan, N. J., for several hundred acres of land in Glynn county, near Brunswick, Ga, and including options to purchase several thousand acres additional, marks the be- ginning of one of the largest and most potentially valuable agricultural develop ment projects started in the south in recent years,'' says Brunswick special to the Manufacturers Record '"The Mon- mouth Seed company officials are experts in growing vegetables and in the pro- duction of seeds, and R. V. Crime, the active head of the company, is we'll known throughout the country as the originator of several valuable and pop ular varieties of tomatoes, for the cul- tivation of which the new enterprise is being located in Glynn county. Besides shipping early tomatoes to market, a catsup factory will be erected on the land purchased, at Hunters Siding, 14 miles from Brunswick, on the Southern railway, and seed will be raised and sold. IL is the expectation that the company will test out experimentally every va riety and kind of vegetable likely to be adapted to this climate.
 Not less than 800 acres will be planted in tomatoes alone this spring. The mild winters and early springs make it pos sible to put tomatoes into the eastern markets almost as early as those raised in south Florida, and we'll in advance of points further north.
 Until the necessary buildings and houses can be erected and machinery se- cured and installed, temporary use will be made of a sawmill, buildings and dwellings belonging to l.. R. Akin of Brunswick, and located at Mount Pleas ant a few miles above Hunters Siding. Work has already begun on the tract. Five hundred glass sash have already been received and hothouse erected for growing the young plants.
 MT. Crime states that his company
 expects to settle not less than 1000 white families from New Jersey on it's lands and adjoining tracts within the next two or three years"

BILLITING OFFICERS GO TO PREPARE QUARTERS
Over Thousand Men From Camp Wheeler Have Already Crossed "Over There" in Small
 Detachments
nv GEoRGE sr. SPARKS

Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ga, Fepf usais I7.-(Special) )--That some of the artillery will soon be ordered to France seems probable because two of the onicers nay already been ordered to proceed 70 France at once and make arrangements for the billeting of artillery units. 'sos- onel Hanson. one of the regular army colonels of the Fifty sixth artillery hr- gade. and Capt. George Haines of the 1lSth field artillery, are the officers or dered to the western front to make the proper arrangements.
 The sending of the officers to make arrangements for the artillery seems to be only an added conclusion that the division will not move as whole, but will move unit at time. The division has been leaving here in detachments, as many as a thousand men already having gone that way. There is much speculation among the officers and men as 10 which unit is to be billetted for by the officers sent to France.
 NO TATOOING ALLOWED
 An order was issued here to the ef- feet that hereafter it would be against the division regulations for any soldier to have tatooed on his person any num- erals or other signs to acquaint the en- emy with the designation of his outfit. An order was also issued giving author ity to all commanders to have removed such designations from the persons of any i'll their command.

FIGHT FOR NATIONAL
 CONGRESS SEAT IN FIRST LOOMING UP
Harry T. Hartwell's Entry Into Race Against Gray Is Causing Comment
 Throughout State
Rx FRED H. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, February 17.-(SpeciaL) Announcement of Harry T. Hartwell of Mobile as candidate for congressman from the First Alabama district caused interest throughout Alabama this week because of the prominent position MT Hartwell held during the session of the legislature in 1915 ana because of the states general interest i'll the First dis trict at this time when industries are being constructed which will benefit the entire state.
 Alabama expects the congressional fight in the First district to be based on the issue of port development and it has been pointed out during the week that the proper representative in Con- gress at this time may make Mobile might retard the development which is about to come.
 MOBILE LINES UP
 It is believed that the voters of Mo- bile county before election day will line up solidly behind one candidate. while those out of Mobile will support the strongest man who resides out of Mo- bile county To some, Mir. Hartwelr s announcement was a surprise. While Mobile had known that he intended to make the race, many persons in Alabama political life did not know he had such in contemplation until his declaration reached the secretary of state.
 It is likely that greater interest will be shown in the contest In the First district than in any other congressional fight In Alabama. Congressman Oscar l.. Gray has been campaigning at intervals through the district for two years, Solici- tor John McDuffie Is we'll known in the Mobile district, Mir. Hartwell is well known throughout Alabama and R P.
 Roach is said to have a following which will remain with him.
 DENT IS SAFE
 s. H. Dent, Jr,, has no opposition for re- election in the Second district and probably will be unopposed The fact | that Camp Sheridan and the aviation l training school were located in his dis 1 trict removes all obstacles to his re-elec- 1 tion and every faction will favor him 1 this time.
 1 Henry E. Steagall of the Third district will be opposed by J. J. Speight of Ozark 1 Mir Speight filed his formal declaration I with the secretary of state this weel and has informed his friends that he l will make general campaign through l the district. He was secretary to Judge 1 Henry D. Clayton when Judge Clayton represented tho Third district in Con gross and after he retired Mr. Speigh
 was given a license to practice law ant has been in the practice at Ozark. l Fred l.. Blackmon of the Fourth dis 1 triet has the same position as Con

 The Rooseveltians, stil determined to rule or ruin, supported Will Ii.
