D. c. HORTON. Observer,

by exclamation. Recently Col Biop Graves of Montgomery announced his candidacy. The announcement is the forerunner of campaign which will take Judge Brandon into every sec ton of the state prior to the primary. In recent months he has visited every sub division in fraternal and civic work but has never mentioned any connection with tho campaign. However, his friends have been busy and already Brandon clubs are func- tioninR n many counties. Pike coun- ty friends of Judge Brandon proba- bly, organized the first Brandon club. but the home folks had maintained their organization in Judge Brandon's interest since the campaign of 1918.
 Formal Announcement
 Judge Brandon's formal declaration as a candidate for governor follows:
 T, the undersigned, Wm. W. Bran don do hereby announce my candida cy for the nomination In the demo cratic primary to be held on the sec ond Tuesday In August 1922. for the Alabama, and do hereby name Edward Doty, A. L.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF
 JUDGE BRANDON IS RECEIVED BY COBB
Statement Is Forerunner Of Active Campaign to Be Made in Every County by
 Tuscaloosa Man
By FRED Fl. GORMLEN Montgomery Bureau, The Age Herald, 92f-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery. March l5.-(Specialo Judge ". ". Brandon of Tuscaloosa made formal announcement wednes- day afternoon of his candidacy for governor of Alabama in the demo- cratic primary which will be nelo August S.--Judge Brandon filed his statement with William P. Cobb, sec retary of state, in compliance with the corrupt practice act, and named Edward Doty of Tuscaloosa, A. L. Tyson of Montgomery, A. K. Jackson of Hartselle, C. E. Thomas of Pratt vile and pr. Wm. Gewin of Birming- ham as the committee which will re- ceive, audit and disburse all funds in his campaign.
 No formal statement was issued with the announcement. but 1t was indicated that Judge Brandon will make known his views on the various matters which will enter into the campaign during the next few days.
 Causes No Surprise
 The announcement caused no sur prise. Judge Brandon informed his f,aends one day after the result Of the campaign was, known in 1918 that he would be candidate In, the pri mary of 1922.
 For many months indications were that he would receive the nomination

 ''The fact or automatic writing and it's contents also are not evidence for or against the theory but 1t is fact that many such writings contain clear evidence whether of spirit com munication or of telepathy which em- braces tn eworld like a system of telegraph wires. This is i plain state- ment of the logical issue. But 1t is interesting to note that while this writing came unexpectedly to MT. Whidden, four succeeding attempts when his mind was full of expecta- tion, resulted in not single word which is not quite what we would expect of the subconscious.
 To sum up, in my judgment, the fires were caused by the hands of the girl in the family and presumably also the loosening of the cattle, etc. also were performed by her at un noticed opportunities, although I dc not expect the neighbors ever tc credit this.
 Without Culpsbility
 The acts were, however, almost cer l tainly without cufpability on het part, owing to her having been tenn porarily in abnormal states of con. sciousness. Possibly but not prob. ably. there was instigation of the acts by discarnate intelligence through 1 telepathic contact.

Montgomery March 15.-(special) Complete plans for the organization of giant cotton pool in Alabama 0 consist of not less than 10000 bales by the Alabama Farm Bureau Fed eration, to be known as the Alabama Farm Bureau Cotton association. were announced here today.
 The plan of procedure and the operation of tho organization, accord ing to the announcement, will be identical to the Texas Farm Bureau Cotton association, organized F months ago by the Texas Farm Bu- reau, and through which the Texas farmers are receiving from sto.00 to s15.o0 per bale more for their cotton as a result of eliminating waste and substituting orderly marketing for dumping. The chief difference In tho two plans ia that the Texas pool includes 600.oo0 bales; whereas the minimum for the Alabama pool Is only 100000 bales.

which,; headeclaEed, possessed won

quis said he had a oncessfon from
| the Chinese government to develop
these resources. The inhabitants of
the island, the Marquis said, were
mostly pirates, but they were under
paid pirates, receiving onlyesome six
cents per diem, besides having to
work long hours. The Marquis aver
red that he won their devotion by
offering them eight cents "a day if
they would work for him. The Mar
'quis appeared before the French
chamber of deputies and asked the
official sanction of the government
in operating under his scoticession.
One of the deputies rose and made
some uncomplimentary remarks con-
corning the Marquis -andThis plan,
