the chairman being Mrs- W. A. Hill. of Montgomery.
 The year 1920 should be a successful year for the federation for we enter it in almost prosperous condition. Yet 1t is with the greatest misgiving that your new president enters on her of ficial duties; she knowes so we'll the great responsibilities that the presi- dent of the federation must bear and she knows so well her own inadequacy. The trust you have reposed in her she values very highly and as your stand , and bearer it will be her earnest pur- pose to keep the federation standard ever set towards the highest progress ever unstained by selfish interests. The charge that you have entrusted is a serious one and she would feel it i'm possible for her to sustain it did she not know that federation standards of service are cherished in the hearts of 5000 club women of Alabama who are as jealous as the president for its suc- cess.

MISS CURTIS
 RESUMES CLASSES

During the holidays. when every. thing gives way to the spirit of the sea- son, Miss Anne Curtis. who has drawn about her tremendous classes for "Auc- ton" lessons, like every one else, gave way to other activities, but since the holidays her classes have almost dou- bled themselves, the interest in "auc- tion'' being greater than ever before.
 Miss Curtis enjoys the distinction of being an acknowledged authority on auction, bridge and other games, and whatever Miss Curtis says about rules and regulations governing card games is accurate and correct.
 Miss Curtis has a large circle of friends in Birmingham and throughout the south who always shower upon her the most delightful social attentions, and in Atlanta, Hot Springs, Richmond and other notable southern cities. Miss Curtis is one of the most popular of visitors.
 Her stay in Birmingham has been a great pleasure to all those who have been associated with her.

Children CRY
FOR FLETCHER'S
CA 8 TO RIA
FATAL ACCIDENT AT DI
FIELDS.

A very distressing accident oc-
Cured Wednesday morning at about
Z o'clock at Duffields, resulting in the
death of Mrs. Jennie K. Southland,
wife of James Southland, who farms
east of Duffields. Mrs. Southland and
two children, John and Leila, with
her father, John Knight, of Martins
burg, had gone to Duffields to take
the accommodation train for Martins
burg. Preceding the accommoda-
ton is fast express train from the
east which does not stop at Duffields,
and this swung around the bend at
great speed while Mrs. Southland and
her two children were on the tracks.
She realized the peril and managed
to get them out of danger, but in
reaching back for her suitcase the en-
CINE struck her on the head and
threw her to one side. The train was
stopped and backed to the station,
and DIR. c. C. johnson, who lives
near, was quickly summoned. He at
once saw that Mrs. Southland was SER
iously injured, her skull being frac-
tured, and after giving her first aid
she was placed aboard the train and
DIR. Johnson accompanied her to the
City Hospital in Martinsburg. She
lived only half hour after reaching
the hospital. The sad accident caused
much excitement at Duffield's, and
the bereaved husband and the nine
children who have been left mother.
less are the subjects of much SYM
pathy. Mrs. Southland, who maiden
name was Knight, was 40 years of
age, and was highly regarded. She
was buried in Martinsburg where she
formerly resided. Mrs. Southard's
surviving children are Mrs. Vera
Rodriges, of Cumberland; Mrs.
Blanche Cramer, of Shenandoah
Junction; Davis in the U. S. Army at
Camp Humphreys; Irene, Nellie,
Jamie. Walter, John A. and Leila c.,
all at home.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CAMPAIGN
GETTING UNDER WAY.

Charleston, w. Va, Aug. 9-The
notification ceremonies
over, the interest of West Virginia
Democrats is turned this week toward
the state judicial and platform con-
vention, which will be held in Wheel
ing next Saturday.
The big event of that great gath
ering of Democrats from all over
West Virginia, of course, will be the
appearance and address of the presi-
Dental nominee, Governor James M.
Cox, of Ohio, whose speech of accep-
lance last Saturday in Dayton has
stirred the people of the whole nation
and aroused the party of Jefferson,
Jackson and Wilson to new enthu-
siasm and new vision of public
service.
The keynote for the state campaign
will be sounded by former United
States Senator William E. Chiffon ;
a candidate for the state Supreme
Court of Appeals will be nominatd /;
the platform for the state campaign
will be adopted and promulgated ;
and the party's nominees for Gov
ernor, Arthur B. Koontz, will outline
his ideas of practical executive adj
ministration.
The advisory campaign committee
will meet with Mr.. Koontz, State
Chairman, r. F. Dunlap, and Secre-
tary Robert L. Hamilton, together
with the other candidates for State
Office at Wheeling, to decide upon
definite plans for the early stages Of
the campaign, and to name heads OF
the publicity and speakers bureaus
at state headquarters.
1t is planned to effect the most
thorough organization in support OF
tn democratic state and national
tickets ever brought together in West
Virginia by any party--an organiza-
ton tina twill work and get results in
every precinct Of the state.
To carry out this plan the party
leaders believe the state executive
committee was especially fortunate
| in securing the services of r F. Dun
lap, who started in this week with the
purpose of giving all of his time from
now until the day of election to di-
| rect a winning campaign.

THOMAS is NOMINATED.
Republican Choose Martinsbur

3
Lawyer at Convention Today.
Attorney Wilbur H. Thomas, or
chardist, banker and refree in bank
ruptcy, at the Republican district
judicial Convention held in Martins
burg this morning, was nominated
for Judge of this Circuit His name
was the only one placed before the
convention and a motion that he be
nominated by reclamation was unan-
imously passed.
The convention drew only twelve
delegates from the three counties in
the district. Frank B. Robinson, of
Charles Town, was named chairman,
and Rolfe Gerhardt, of jefferson
County, acted as secretary. The mo-
ton to nominate Mr.. Thomas was
made by Attorney H. A. Downs, of
Martinsburg, and was amended by
II. N. Bradley, of Charles Town, who
asked that the nomination be made
by reclamation.
Not long after the convention had
been called to order Mr.. Bradley, a
well known Jefferson County Repub-
lican, took the floor, saying that his
county had a candidate but that for
SOAiiS ACeAoOil IC 'WOulu IlOG Dc sup
ported by leaders of the party in Ber-
kelley County. He said that petty
jealousies and utter foolishness ex-
listed, adding that Republicans should
support their candidate no matter
who he might be.
Attorney ]. o. Henson, of Martins
burg, replied to Mr.. Bradleys, stating
that he could not, as lawyer, sup
port Tracy L. Jeffords, although he
would do nothing against him as a
politician. The reason for this, he
said, was because Mr.. Jeffords did
not practice his profession in West
Virginia and therefore was not so
familiar as he should be with this
states laws.
Mr.. Jetfords, who occupied a seat
beside Mr.. Bradley, remained silent
until Mr.. Henson finished speaking,
then took his hat and travelling case
and left the room.
A motion was then made and car
ried that the convention adjourn.
1t was agreed at the convention
that in case Mr.. Thomas refuses the
nomination which he has been quoted
as having said he would do, the chair
man of the Republican Committee in
each of the three counties will meet
and name his successor.

WOODS IS NOMINATED.
Democrats Select Him to Make Third
Race For Bench in This Circuit.

Judge John Mitchell Woods, for
the past eight years jurist of the
Eighteenth Judicial Circuit of West
Virginia, at the Democratic District
Judicial Convention this Tuesday
afternoon in Martinsburg, was chosen
by reclamation as the party's candi-
date to succeed himself.
Judge Woods nomination came af-
ter eloquent speeches in his behalf
by ex-senator Charles j. Faulkner, of
Martinsburg, and James Nj. Mason,
Jr., of Charles Town. Senator
Faulkner placed the jurist's name in
nomination by referring to his career
at college, as lawyer and on the
Bench, and Mr. Mason seconded it
by lauding the manner in which
Judge Woods had safeguarded the
interest of the people.
Robert Withers, of Summit Point,
was chosen chairman of the meeting,
which was opened by Mayor Cleve-
lanu IN. Sloert, OF Martinsburg.
After Senator Faulkner and Mr..
Mason hod concluded their remarks
Mr. Withers called upon Morgan
County, but received the information
from one of the delegates that it had
no candidate ooffer
A motion to nominate Judge
Woods by reclamation was then made
by W. E. Dittmyer, of Harpers Ferry,
and it passed, although Morgan
County's delegates refused to an
swer faye" to the call of the chair
man. Neither did they answer mo"
to his call.
On motion a committee was then
appointed to notify Judge Woods.
The Committee named by the chair
man was composed of Senator Faux
ner, E. E. Cooke and J. E. Helsley,
the latter two from Jefferson and
Morgan Counties, respectively. Mr..
Helsley, in declining to serve, said
that Morgan County's delegates had
not been recognized at the conven-
ton, had not been interviewed by the
other delegates and had been pushed
aside.
Judge Woods, upon making his APP
ipearance, was greeted with cheering.
Standing in the front of the hall he
thanked the convention for their
action saying that his duties since he
was first seated had been agreeable,
although at times unpleasant. He
said he may have made mistakes but
had never done so Intentionally; that
he rendered his decisions honestly
He concluded by saying that if he
were elected, in the future he would
do as he had done in the past, dis
pensing with cases as he believed they
should be dispensed with. He then
thanked the delegates most heartily
and sincerely and withdrew from the
platform as the convention adjourned
amid much enthusiasm.
