UNDERWOOD is
LEADING IN. RAGE
UNDERWOOD AND HEFFLlN
LEADERS IN ALABAMA
(By the Associated Press)


Birmingham, Ala, May 11.-Incom-
plete and unofficial returns compiled
tonight by the Herald showed
that Senator Oscar W. Underwood
was leading in the race for the long
term nomination for United States
senator from Alabama. as the result
of the Democratic primary held in
this state today.
The returns also indicate that Rep
resentative Hfflin is leading in the
race for the short term, made vacant
by the recent death of Senator Bank.
head. The returns at that hour, how
ever. were rather scanty, and the re-
suit of the primary will not be def
nitaly knewn before tomorrow.
The nomination of two senators
from one state simultaneously is a
rather rare occurrence, and more
than usual interest attaches to the
outcome of the Alabama primary.
Both Senator Underwood and Repre-
sentative Hefflin had stiff opposition,
and all the candidates have conduct
ed vigorous campaigns.

PLENTY SUGAR BUT
NOT FOR SALE
ON ACCOUNT OF RULING OF FAIR
PRICE COMMISSIONER SUPPLY
ON HAND NOT AVAILABLE

A thorough canvass of practically
every retail store in Brunswick yes.
terday revealed the rather startling
fact that there is not pound of
sugar-either of the brown variety,
or granulated--on sale, and this, too,
with a limited supply on hand at two
of the city's leading Wholesale
houses, a condition brought about by
a recent ruling Of State Fair Price
Commissioner .Manget that sugar
could not be sold in Georgia for less
than 80 cents per pound.
Brunswick has been on the verge
of a sugar famine for the past month
or longer, and the situation is now be.
coming acute, and the city faces the
possibility of being entirely sugarless
within the week unless there is some
relief forthcoming at once. The local
hotels and cafes. and many of the
homes, are supplied with small
amount. but this will likely become
exhausted in very few days.
The LottiLewis Company and B.
Borchardt both received small ship.
ments Of sugar this week, but the
price they were forced to pay in order
to obtain a limited amount only was
such as to perclude the possibility OF
its being retailed within the pre-
scribed price Of 33 Gems. It is stated
that 35 cents per pound is the very
lowest figure at which the sugar car
be sold to consumers. and the whole
salers have wired Commissioner
Manget for ruling on the question
placing the facts before him.
