Kilby Meeting Monday

Anniston. June 29.-(Special )--The gath ering of Calhoun county democrats Mon- day evening at the Noble theatre will be spontaneous and hearty indorse- ment of the political views of the man destined to succeed Charles Henderson as governor of the great state of Ala bama-
 Word comes from every beat in the county that members of the democratic and conservative party of Alabama will on that day lay aside their business af- fairs and in q measure forget their in dividual political preferences
 Great interest is being manifested in the fact that the next governor will break into his present tour of the state in order to be on hand and address the many hundreds who have announced their purpose of giving public expression of their approval of MT. Kilby's political conduct
 The coming together of so many voters for the purpose outlined is believed by pros and antis alike to foretell the roll ing up of such vote in Alabama next August as will easily elect the Anniston banker and manufacturcr over the trio who are in the race against him.
