ANOTHER KILLING IN CLAY

II becomes our painful duty again
to chronicle notice of an alteration
over in Clay County on Monday Of
this week in which a Mr.. Shelby
Gilbert, one of the participants, was
killed instantly, and another. a Mr.
Davis, probably fatally wounded
with a revolver. The others engag-
ed in the ARRAY on the other side,
whose names we're Stubblefeld. are
said not to have received serious in
jury.
The difficulty started, II is report
ed, through disagreement as to
where lot of corn should be deliv-
cred which one of the parties had
sold to the other. How unfortunate
it appears to an outsider that men
should find apparent provocation for
shedding each others blood so read

entitled Paul Clifford, the whole ar
gument was: The Poorest Use You
Can Put a Man to is to Kill Him."

the hand of fellowship as he grows

was Is to in favor of the Eagles"
The final score was Al to 8 in hon

ed with the prospect of being very
tight. The first seven minutes of
the first half was played without
either side scoring. Sue Bennett
was rewarded with the first field
goal. Then the Eagles saw what
was going on before their very eyes
so the word went up from them,
Lets go, Union!" And go they
did. This quintette of Unions is
one of the fastest in the state.
The first grades of the year are
being given out to the students and
very many Of us are surprised. This
surprise is due to the fact that we
have not studied as we should, and
most of us have decided to turn over
a new leaf.
Messrs. Collie Franklin and Hor-
ace Barker were compelled to leave
the quiet and BEAUTIFUL campus of
Union to go to Berea, Ky, there to
undergo an operation. We are all
hoping that this will be successful
and that the boys will soon be back
with us.

and we are wishing that she will
remain.
The inhabitants of Stevenson Hall

ternOdn. DR.. Comley, now sue

We are always glad to welcome our
old friends back to U. C.
Last Thursday night was time
of rejoicing on the Campus because
Mr., Hauser, in an incredibly short
time, had finished the work of in
stalling our new boiler and was
sending the steam once more siz-
cling thru the radiators. An i'm
promptu musical program was rem
dered on the Campus in front of the

girls sang and everybody was glad.
1t seems like a real home coming |

The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-03-26

Even Governor Allen comedies that food is more necessary to sustain hu- man life than clothes. A reduction in the cotton acreage of the south, instead of forcing hungry millions to pay toll to the southern cotton pro- ducer, would enable the south to greatly increase it's production of food crops and take some of the burden of feeding the world off the shoulders of the Kansas farmers.
 The southern cotton grower does not wish to profiteer at the expense of suffering humanity, but he does want a fair return for his labor which he cannot hope to receive with cotton selling under 30 cents pound. Neith- CT the corn and wheat farmers, the pig raisers nor the cattle men have shown any tendency to bankrupt themselves for the sake of their fel low man.
