DEMOCRATIC BODY
CALLED TO SOLVE
JUDICIAL TANG[E
State Executive Committee
Committee Meets Here in
Effort to Settle Garrett
Cunningham Contest

Mobile, October IA
meeting of the democratic state ex-
ecutive committee has been called for
Thursday. October IS, at 1870 o'clock,
at the Tutwiler hotel, Birmingham,
to determine the contest by Conner
Garrett of James G. Cunningham on
appeal from the county committee to
the state committee for the nominal
ton of probate judge of Clarke
county.
The subcommittee of the state com
mittee some time ago decided the
election in favor of Garrett. The
county committee refused to comply
with the ruling of the subcommit-
tee, but the chairman of the state
committee as required by law, certi-
fled the nomination of Garrett.
An attempt by the attorneys for
Cunningham to enjoin the state
chairman from doing Sc failed. There
upon they filed an injunction and
mandamus against the judge of pro-
bate of Clarke county.
On the hearing of the same last
Saturday at Grove Hill. which was at
tended by Chairman Webb, Judge Ben
d. Turner held that an appeal should
have been heard by the entire state
committee. hence the finding of the
subcommittee was void, and he ac-
cCrdingly granted the writ Judge
James G. Mayfield and J. Fritz
Thompson. representing Cunningham.
gave notice of an appeal to the SUI
preme court.
Judge Turner's Opinion
Judge Turner stated that in his
opinion the appeal was still pending
before the state committee. The ap-
peal in the case was taken on Sep
tembe 20. The statute requiring the
chairman to call the committee to-
gether to hear the same says not less
than 10 days or more than 40 days.
The 40 days not having expired, the
state chairman says that he is com
PEELED to call the committee together
to settle the question.
When the votes were canvassed
after the primary election Cunning
ham was declared the nominee, but
when the votes were recounted at the
contest filed before the state subcom-
mittee Garrett was found to have a
majority of f35 votes

He said the increase OF democrats

situation" he said, I'VE must bear in
mind that the terms of the eight demo-
cratic senators expire in states all OF
which were republican in 1920 and
only two Of which. Arizona and Mon
tana, would be classed as democraticc
states under normal political condi-
tions. Yet it is my opinion that the
number of democratic senators from
the west viii be more rather than
less than eight. IhlS does not mean
that all seeking reelection will surely

be phenomenal yet 1t is likely to

be elected from states now repre-
scented by republicans"
VIII Make Gains

stantial gains because of general
disgust and general disappointment OF
republican and independent voters

MAMMOTH CAVE MAY
BE SOLD AT AUCTION.

Louisville, KY, March 3.-Unless
the government acts soon a will,
with strange request, may prevent
the purchase of Mammoth Cave, Ken
lucky, as a national park. This was
pointed out by Stephen T. Mather,
director of national parks, in a re-
port recently issued. A move for the
purchase of the Cave as National
park is now under way and has been
urged upon congress for action.
"The 5000 acres sought for the
park purposes at the entrance to
Mammoth Cave" says Mr. Mather's
report, are in private hands under
the terms of famous will which die
tated that the land must be held in
trust until such time as the death of
the last of the named heirs occurs,
when it is to be sold at public auc-
tion in it's entirety.
Because of the advanced age of
the two surviving heirs, it may be ex-
pected that it will not be long before
this world-famed cavern will be sold
under the hammer, and unless some
means are found to take it over ma
tionally at that time either through
Congressional appropriation or
through donation of some public
spirited individual or organization,
the cave will be lost for all time as
a nationalff park possibility and will
continue to be privately exploited.
L trust congress will make an ex-
ception in it's evident policy not to
utilize public funds in the acquisition
OF park are as by purchase of the

that al lie is comparatively recent
devel1 Ment in the paper making in
dustr
To!the hornet, the making of this
paper is of the greatest Importance
las it furnishes the material for the
hives in which they raise their fam
lilies.
Their method of constructing these
hives is an interesting one. After
first selecting a place, they cover it
with mucilaginous paste to which
they fasten their nest.
The material that they use is wood
obtained from old fences or the dead
limbs of trees. This wood pulp is
worked by the mandibles of the wasp
and When mixed with the adhesive Sc
cretion Of the salivary glands, pro-
lduces a substance that is essentially
paper. When very good paper is re-
quired, the flake is allowed to dry and
is chewed again, sometimes two or
three times before it is used
Their hives are composed of hori-
zontal tiers of hexagonal cells about
he size of those in the comb of honey.
These tiers are placed one above the
other and are supported by columns,
the whole being enveloped in many
thicknesses of water proof paper. In
each of these cells an egg is placed
which later matches into a full fledg-
ed wasp and the laborious process of
making paper is carried on by these
new little builders.
