ROAD ADVOCATES BUSY


 Anniston. April 1S.-(Special) )--"We can't see the Florida Short Line for the dust we are raising in our own project for substantial pike road across the Horse Block and Ivy mountains.
 We can't go by Heflin or Talladega and reach Anniston with our produce. hence it is immaterial to us which way the tourist route goes through Alabama from Anniston.
 we started out to build a pike road Of our own before all this talk about another route was sprung on us. and we have got the money in hand to do our part of the work.

RETURN OF THE RAILROADS

Bolsheviki is the Russian word
for majority, but the present gov
eminent of Russia does not even
pretend to be one of majorities.
Lenine and Trotsky scornfully deny
that they have any wish to set up
popular government along demo-
cratic lines. What has been erected
in Russia is a labor despotism. Die
tatorship Of the proletariat they call
it. Only labor can VOTE, only Ia
Dor can hold office. Every one who
holds land or who employs labor IS
denied voice in-the government.
If it is our desire that this gov
eminent like that of Russia shall
concern itself with the good of one
class at the expense of alls other
classes, then government operation
of railroads is an excellent thing :
1t enables labor to prey on all other
classes of society by constantly in
creasing its wages at the expense Of
all users of these great carriers.
The, government administrators have
shown themselves unable to resist

UNDERwooD IN THE LEAD
Likely to be Chosen Floor Leader in
s. Senate, Friends Say.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The election
of Senator Oscar W.. Underwood a.
Democratic floor leader of the Senate
was predicted definitely yesterday by
friends of the Alabaman. Such cleo
ton, Senator Underwood's friends de-
clare, probably will make certain his
reelection to the Senate in 1920.
That Senator Underwood faces a
strong primary fight in his home
State is indicated by his decision tc
return to Alabama during the Christ
mas holidays, despite the lively fight
he faces for the minority leadership.
Already two candidates have appear
ed against him for the primary noml-
ration, and efforts are being made to
organize the "dry" forces Of the State
as well as the labor element against
him.
The rival candidates are L. B. Mus

who is being backed by the Antisaloon
League, and Samuel D. Weakley, form

Senator Underwood has been a con-

WOMAN FOUND FROZEN
Negro Discovers Body of Recluse in
Field

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 29.-Miss Har-
riet Mcbride, rec1use, of Monkton,
was found frozen to death last Wed
ness3ay short distance from her home
by Ellsworth Smith, a negro, who for
years had taken food to the Mcbride
home and had worked for Miss Har-
riet and her sister, Miss Eliza Jane,
who was torn to pieces two years ago
by her own dogs.
It was his duty to call every other
day and find out the wants Of the re-
manning recluse. Smith went to the
house Wednesday afternoon, but
found she had disappeared. Only two
vicious dogs, the remaining members
Of the pack Of six or eight, were in
the house.
Smith, fearing something was
wrong, called lego Bull, who lives
near Hereford, to aid him in search
for the woman. They traced her foot
prints in the snow for about three
quarters Of mile toward neigh
boris house, and then they found the
footprints were retracing themselves.
They followed the tracks to fence
about an eighth Of mile from the
house, and there found the woman,
frozen, her body reclining against the
fence.
[; It4is said that Miss Mcbride left
an estate Of about $4,000.

These celebrations will be the

pie of Omaha to show their boys
how glad everybody is to see them
return.
Each community center will have
charge of its own celebration.
Speeches by prominent citizens of
the community, responses by the
soldiers and sailors, playing OF
games and serving of refreshments
will constitute the programs in most
of the centers.
The occasion will be a regular
neighborhood jollihcation," said
Mr.. Falconer. "The women of the
community centers are going to
prepare the refreshments with their
own hands and the men will have
charge of the programs. There will
be very little formality about the
celebrations, the intention being to
show the boys a rollicking good
time.

NO boy who regularly attends
Sunday school is encouraged to join
our hikes and no boy can go with

for Protestant children, for which
they receive credits in their home

vices for Catholic and Jewish chill
