This BeUy of ConUicts Refuse 10 Subscribe to Gloomy Theory That Friday and Thirteen
 Are UnEucky Combination---There's Reason

Montgomery, December 25.-(Spe- cial.)-Thirteen may be unlucky, but thirteen state convicts passed out the doors of the state peniten- tiary Christmas eve, believing thir- teen not to be so unlucky and knowing Friday to be exceedingly lucky for them.
 The convicts were paroled be- cause of their good records and be- cause good reasons existed for their release, and not because of the hol- idays, according to Governor Kill by. All cases had been recommend ed by the state board of pardons and many had been pending for several weeks Governor Kilby had been absent from his office and did not reach the cases until this week.
 Those granted their liberty on parole follow: Sid Douglass, Au- tauga. violating prohibition laws, 1920, year and day to three years; Pete Ramsey, Tuscaloosa. assault to murder, 1916, 10 years; Briscoe Harp.

 ferred With Physicians

Selma, December 25.--(SpeciaL) )-Re- turning home after a months abs ,uce in Nashville, where he has been suc- cessfully conducting classes in diasno- ses in collaboration with physicians and surg cons. Edgar Cayce expressed con fidence that the big Cayce hospital pro- posed some time ago and for which bids are already being made from cities of the south, will be a reality by next winter.

 Montgomery, December 25.-(SpeciaL)- Alabama friends of Gov. James NJ. Cox, who saw him throw aside the cares of the national campaign last month after the republican victory are wondering if he doesn't breathe a sigh of relief eacl time he reads in the newspaper of the troubles facing the President-elect in the selection of his cabinet in the finding of another name for the democrats League of Nations and in the formation of the policies which will govern him during his term.
 Little stories showing the personal side of Governor Cox and his ability to take defeats without bitterness are coming to Montgomery from Macon county, where Governor and Mrs. Cox spent several days on a hunting trip as the guests Of Col. and Mrs. D. F.. Laslie. Governor Cox abandoned all thoughts of the cam paign the moment he donned his hunt ing clothes, and from the time of his arrival until the time he left he refused to discuss politics or political issues. Va rious telegrams asking for advice reached him, but all remained unanswered while he devoted his time to the sport.
 SOMEBODY LYING
 With the exception of the rainy days, Governor Cox was in the field with his gun each daylight hour and never failed to bring down as many birds as the other hunters. Each day a count would be made after the hunt, and each day 1t would be found that Governor Cox had led the other hunters. One time. in dis cussing results of the hunts,' Goyernol Cox said: T have killed large num- Der of birds on this hunt, or there are a large number of chiyalric liars in this crowd"
 Throughout the visit to Macon county there was gcod-natured bantering be- tween the governor. Senator Pat Harri- son of Mississippi and former Senator Thomas Taggart of Indiana, who accom- panied Governor and Mrs. Cox to the Laslie home. During one of the story telling hours Senator Taggart boasted of the fact that he was the only man in the United States who had ever gotten dog admitted to the White House.
 q called at the White House with two dogs one time" said Senator Taggart. T " as told I could enter but the dogs could not. I went in and on the inside whis- tied and in dashed the two dogs" This was a good joke but after the laugh, Senator Harrison inquired of Governor Cox:

MEXICAN SHIPPING
 OPENED ID MOBILE
Gulf Port, It Is Declared, Has Chance to Get Big Portion
 of New Business
By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age-HeraId 22l-2 First National Bank Building

SSl-S EIsb NhtAoAishA AshiAn Ahu,iu'"b
 Montgomery. December 25.-(Spe- cial. )-If Mobile had the port facilities it could obtain much of the products which Mexico will call for first in it's programme of development and reha- bilita ton.
 The Alabama excursionists who re- cently visited the Latin republic be- lieve Mexico's first call will be for heavy railroad equipment. including steel rails, rolling stock and locomo- tives. Steel rails are manufactured in the Birmingham district, and Alabama is the nearest shipping point to Mexico, but because Of the lack of organized shipping it is possible the cargoes "ill be picked up at other points, and even if the orders go to the Birmingham district they will leave the United States from other ports than Mobile.
 An investigation showed there were no regular schedules maintained by shipping companies between Mobile and Mexican lorts. New Orleans, Calves ton and ether points have regular schedules, and great majority of ship ping between Mexico and the south now passes through New Orleans. If a large order for steel rails should be placed in the Birmingham district, the shipments probably would be loaded on barges. sent down the Warrior to Mo- bile. and thence to New Orleans for loading on boats, which could stop at Mobile as wei, if there were port fa- cilities for their accomm odation.
 Dlsregarding the port, there Is en op- portunity for Alabama to land the busi- ness. Mexico needs the rails. and Is putting itself in financial condition to make the purchase. Agents of other sections are already bidding for the business. but Alabama probably could land the contracts with little effort because of its favorable location.

Cox Plunged Into Spirit OF The Chase on Alabama Trip;
 Left Troubles to Harding

"Governor, if Senator Taggart should call at the White House with two dogs while you were President, what would you do?'
 Without the sign of smile, Governor Cox replied: 'I would admit the dogs It was said tc be the only time Senator Taggart could not find a reply.
 During the, five-day hunt the party killed about 800 birds. the daily average being from So to 100. Governor Cox ; shooting improved with the passing of the days, and on the last morning he killed a bird at each of six straight shots. This is considered a wonderful record, especially when one considers the fact that Governor Cox used q 20- gauge gun, which is difficult to use, while others in the party used 12- and 16-bore guns.
 Mrs. Cox also proved to be a thorough sportswoman. She was out every day and was on the firing line every time q covey arose. She took the credit of be- ing the first in the party to kill bird,
 APPETITE IS HEFTY
 On one of the days the party went to the Edwards plantation, adjoining the Laslie plantation, for hunt as the guests of James Graham, the owner. Rain prevented the hunt. but Mir. and Mrs. Graham had prepared an elaborate southern barbecue in honor of the visit tors. Governor Cox pronounced the bar becue the treat of his life and remained around the camp stew and barbecued meats so long many members or the party were fearful of his immediate fu- ture and continued good health. Assist ing in preparing the barbecue were E. w. Thompson of Tuskegee, MT. and Mrs. Will Martin of Roba and Mrs. Newell.
 During the hunt two parties were formed eacn day. Governor Cox's party consisted of himself. Mrs. Cox, l.. C' Johnston and D. E. Laslie, while the other party was composed of Senator Harrison, Senator Taggart, Peter rPeei and F. R. Alexander. Of course. others joined the parties from day to day.
 The entire party attended union serV- ice at the Methodist church on the sun day Governor and Mrs. Cox were iil Tuskegee coincidence was the fact that the sermon was preached by Pre- siding Elder Cox of the Montgomery dis- trict.
 In compliment to the distinguished vis- itor, Governor Cox was elected president of the Bob White club of Tuskegee, which has been organized for the erec- tion of hunting lodge on game pre- serve there. Governor Cox accepted ana promised to take advantage of the club and it's lodge as often as possible.
