DIR. Kinney comes from one of
the Oldest and best families of
North Alabama. His grandfather
Hance Kinney settled eighteen
miles from Cullman more than
one hundred years ago. The City
of Hanceville was named for him
At one time it was thought that
the county seat of Cullman
County would be located at
Hanceville, but influence was
brought to bear and CuIlman was
selected.
Hance Kinney's son fought
through the civil war and a
number Of the Kinney family
were killed in the struggle.
After the war between the
states, the older Kinneys stood in
the front rank in helping to
deyelope the new country and in
restoring conditions to their sta
during the dark days o.
reconstruction.
No family of people took
greater pride than the Kinoeys,
in the new county Of Cullnlan.
DR.. H. H. Kinney is a son of the
John w. and Elizabeth Cannon
Kinney. The late John w, Kinney
was one of county's best citizens
At eighteen years of age, he
joined the church and never
moved his membership. He was
one Of the largest land owners
in this section of the state,
during his days, He had the
friendship Of all his acquaintanccs
and never had an enemy.
The Cannon family, CT
which DR.. Kinney's
mother was a member. came
originally from South Carolina.
They came to Alabama more than
one hundred years ago, part of
the original family going to Mis-
sissippi and part to Illinois.
Uncle Joe Cannon is a distant
relative of DR.. Kinney.
The Cannons will be remem-
bered as among the largest slave
owners in Blount county.
There were five boys in the
Kinney family and two girls.
All of them are living with the
exception Of one girl.
Kinney Brothers, one of the
oldest and most successful firms
in the city, is owned by J. M.
and VIM. Kinney.
Mrs. G. w. Johnson, whose
husband is one of the pioneer
business men of the county, is
the sister,
E. C. Kinney, one of the veal
thiest business men of his age in
Cullman county. is another
brother and Talmage, the young
est of the boys, is living up to
the family name of being sue
cess in the business world.
DR., Kinney was born and rear
ed in Cullman county and it has
been said of him that he was
loved by every man, woman and
child in the county, who knew
him. His genial disposition wins
for him hundreds of friends
wherever he goes and no more
popular boy was ever brought up
in this section.
He has always taken an inter-
est in public affairs and served
on the Democratic Committee be-
fore he was twenty-one years OF
age. He continued on this COM
mittee until he left the state.
It is told of him that the box
where he voted always went
Democratic as long as he was
here. When he left, it went
Republican and has continued to
do so ever since.
DR.. Kinney studied medicine
at some Of the leading colleges

RAR|TAN RIVER
TRAFFIC CROWS
Make Pressing Need for Deep
er Channel Tugs Unable to
Get Beyond SayreviIIe, Claim

Traffic on the -Raritan river is in
ereasing at such a rapid rate that
there Is pressing need for deeper
channel. The tugs of the New York
and Baltimore Inland Transportation
Company. which are used to take the
barSes from New York up the river.
and to meet them upon their return
from Baltimore, are unable to go be-
Iyond Sayreviie because of the shallow
channel from that place 10 New
Brunswick. This, of course, necessi-
Itates the use of smaller tugs TO tow
the barges to New Brunswick and
thence through the canal to Borden
town. If the larger tugs could make
the trip to New Brunswick it would be
OF marked advantage in handling the
traffic
A II. Lamb, general manager of the
New York and Baltimore Inland
Transportation Company is much en-
Icouraged with the. amount of freight
his line is handling. Shippers in Balti-
more and Philadelphia fini the new
line great accommodation. BarGes
are put through the canal both ways
Jas rapidly as possible, and for some
classes of freight the water traffic is
more desirable than the shipment by
motor trucks. Besides, the rates are
much less. Mr.. Lamb says the men
back of his line are hopeful that the
support of the public will be sufficient
for them TO develop the traffic TO its
utmost, and to give the intervening
cities the advantage of quick handling
of what is regarded ordinarily as
slow freight
c. S. A Atkinson, secretary OF the
Association, had a conference recent
ly with W. II. Schoff, secretary-treas-
urer of the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways Association, with headquarters
at Philadelphia. This organization
takes in affiliated associations from
Maine down the Atlantic coast to
Florida, and has done much in behalf
of. deeper water in all of the inland
waterways along the coast.
MIR. Schof displayed much interest
in the movement of the Raritan Ter
minal and Waterways Association
and was much surprised to learn of
the magnitude of the plant now being
built on the Raritan river by the
Eastern Potash Cooperation. He said
there was evidently pressing need for
deeper water in the Raritan river 10
take care of the tonnage which the
Eastern Potash Corporation would
handle every day. He felt that the
presentation of this data. showing
5000 tons incoming and 5000 tons
outgoing daily, would impress the
district engineer with the importance
of having deeper water in the cham
mel.
The controlling organizations afiil-
lated with the Raritan Terminal and

nine directors large late this
month. The nominations are being
