MOULTON

Moulton. January 22.-(Special l)-In- vestigation is stiii being made by the sheriffs office regarding the killing of Henry Brooks. which took place on the morning of January II. about 20 miles south of this place. but nothing has as yet developed that warrants the issuance of legal process to bring about the arrest of his slayers
 The political pot is boiling quite merrily in the county. Three an nouncements have been made so far for county offices and the Underwood ana bond issue canvass is well under way.
 An organization has been perfected
 in the county looking to the retention of oscar Underwood in the Senate. Two chairmen of the county have been appointed. A. F. Rebman of Courtland and John P. White of Moul- ton. Mir. Rebman will have charge of
 the section north of the mountain
 while MT. White will look after Moul- : A thorough organization will be made 1 fD every beat Of the county and beat committeeman appointed.
 There seems no doubt at this time but that Senator Underwood will carry
 Lawrence county by a much larger majority than ne has ever gotten here The people look upon the senator as an institution. an asset. and not as a {, political character The entire Eighth congressional district recognizes and 1 appreciates his lasting and effectua l work for the Muscle Shoals proposi- |, ton and he will always be remem cred | in connection with this great work. County Superintendent Hodson Is in 1 active charge of the good roads bond 1 election. He is giving the matter every moment of his available time campaign of education is under way l and it can safely be predicted that the majority for the bond issue will be ! relatively as great in Lawrence county
 as any county in the state.

B. A. [. MEETS CAMP BENN|NG CAGE TEAM
Bully" VanDegraff, Foot ball Star, to Play With
 GeOrgians

The Camp Benning- Athletic Club bas- ket ball game. which will be played Sat urday night at the B. A. C.. is attracting quite a bit of interest locally. There seems to be two main reasons for this interest. namely, the fact that the B. A. C. team seems to have at last hit it's stride and the fact that the Camp Ben- ming team will bring with it a famous athlete one well known and well liked, Bully" Vandigraff
 VanDegraff made athletic history at the
 University of Alabama. He was a tower of strength on the football eleven. Fully" is said to be almost as good at
 basketball as he was at football, and if
 he is the clubbers may look for one of the hardest scraps of their careers.
 VanDegraff is playing center for the
 Camp Bennng team, and he is said to
 be one of the best in the south. The Georgia team is centered around Vandi- graff, whose stellar work is the feature of every game in which he takes part The clubbers, of course, have been putt ting in many hours of hard work for the
 game tomorrow night. As said before, the B. A. C. team seems to have mt It's stride, and the OUTLOOK TOT EiutSell S dS- gregation is quite promising now. Every man is at his best, and the team is work ing together like an alarm clock at a. m Chisholm played at center for the B.

 that it was his first game at center this season. It is not yet known whether Hobo" Baker or Chisholm will play cen- ter against Camp Benning. If Baker is back in the game he will start at his regular position.

heosophical Lecturer
 Says There Is NO Death
Quotes Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in Favor of Theory of Con- tinuity of Conscience-Says Should Think of Dead
 Only as Being Absent

The dead are neither dead nor sleep ing, declared L. w. Rogers, national lec- turer for the Theosophical Society. who spoke last night at the Cable Hall, when he began a course of three lectures on psychological topics. His subject was The Soldier Dead"
 After reviewing the evidence said tc have been gathered by investigating sci entists 10 support the hypothesis that there is really no death at all. the lee turer took up the work of those he re- ferred to as scientifically trained and developed clairvoyants.
 He insisted that the case for the sur vIval of consciousness is established be- vond question, and quoted Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as saying that the person who longer doubts or denies the conti- uuEity of consciousness is the person who is not acquainted with the evidence.

 The labor and material situation to- day is not different from what it was during the war" Johnstone said. Labor is extremely difficult to control even in private business. where a contractor may get rid of inefficient labor by the hiring firing system, which was not permitted at the plant"

Science has discovered more in recent years about life and what happens after death,'' said Mir. Rogers, than in all its previous history" Coming to the sol diers who have passed on. the lecturer said there is reliable evidence to show that some of them have communicated with relatives, and he expressed the opin- ion that only the fact that very few people are sensitive enough to get subtle vibrations prevents general knowledge on the subject.
 Intense grief for the departed he char acterized as being selfish, and said that the emotional reaction on the living dead was likely to be their greatest mlsfor- tune While declaring that it is well to think often of the dead, the lecturer said tha. the best way is never to think of them as being dead at all but only as absent.
