farm labor situation in this district
has reached such a stage that the
farmers are offering S. day and

one of the most critical in the his

the lack of farmhands. 1t is said
that the lure of high wages in the

country also took up the idea. and
many orchestras in morning re-

to aspiring composers which
could not otherwise be offered. In
London, according to the Times. the
proposal of the patrons fupd OF the

number of rehearsals of new orches-
ira music instead of occasional con-
certs. This has been tried out sue

that is trimming over with interesting

could reach high state of efficiency.
Mr.. Kennedy is determined to make
Governor Kilby ansissue and he has in
formed his friends that he intends to
make a fight for reelection on an
anti-Kilby platform. Following the
governors statement, his friends have
wondered if Mr.. Kennedy's campaign
on this issue would force the governor
to get into the fight.
With all the warm words that have
passed between the governor and Mr..
Kennedy, no one has been seriously
spoken of as candidate against Mr..
Kennedy. Names have been mentioned
for many offices during the week, but
none for the position now held by Mr..
Kennedy J. A. Carnley of Coffee

If Governor Kilby does not get into

have on the opposition to Senator I'm

has been. asked many times since the
governors statement was issued. 1t
had been thought the governor would
be active in support of his personal
friend, Il. B. .Musgrove. If the gov

With the election day falling midway
between two holidays, Christmas and

circles for the fate of the two constitu-

TO qualify because of their absence dur
ing the world war.
This is the first time n the history OF
Alabama that a general election has been

prevails the amendments might be lost
through indifference and confusion of the
