that the Werner flying squadron is
carrying with 1t letter bearing the
signature of Judge Brandon. who
will become governor a week after
the legislature is organized. Each
candidate has realized that Governor
elect Brandon could hold the balance
OF power in the contest If. he cared
TO use 1t. This information is that
Judge Brandon does not come out
Mnequivocally for Mr.. Werner but
does state that II he (Governor- elect
Brandon) We're a member of the
house of representatives when it is
organized January .. he would cast
vote for Mr.. Werner for speaker.
Taken all in all, the outsider
seems to cling to the belief that the
race for speaker is any mans race;
that the final chapter In the history
OF the contest is yet to be written.
A democratic caucus is a proba-
bility this year. No such thing was
held when the legislature was or
ganized in 1919 for the simple reason
that no serious contest developed.
Henry p. Merritt had no opposition
for speaker and tho race for clerk
Of the house was SO one-sided the
result was known days before the
legislators gathered.
Caucus Probable
But this year the condition is the
opposite. Three persons seek to be
speaker and only one person is rum
ming for clerk. Since the speaker
ship will go to the democratic party
and since party solidarity must be
maintained .he dtmccrats are ex-
pected to gather in caucus the eve
ming before the legislature is called
- ;,,t hat
settle their own differences and
battle until one man has been agreed
upon for speaker. a caucus isn't
necessary. because there are only
three republicans in the house. How
ever. several roll calls in the election
of speaker PROBABLY would be
looked upon as an unnecessary bur-
den for the journal OF the house.
Conditions are not the Same in the
senate There is nothing to indicate
that Senator James Is. Ellis OF Dallas
will be opposed for president pro
tenn of the Senate. He was agreed
upon many weeks ago and ]. Manley
Foster of Tuscaloosa, the only other
person mentioned, declined to per-
NIT his name to be considered.
The race Cor secretary of the sem
ate furnishes an interesting con-
trast with the race for clerk OF the
house. In the house j. II. Stewart
OF Randolph has no opposition for
clerk. In the senate five persons
seek to be elected secretary. They
are Atticus Muilin of Montgomery,
!. e Sreignt OF Lockhart, Henry F.
Reese of Selma, Walter f. Miller
of Tuscumbia and Senator Q. T.
Smith Of Goodwater. No one even
rretends to forecast the result in

Rev. Edward Dennlson was a
noted Episcopal minister, and during
his so years residence at Chewacla
held rectorates at various Episco-
pal churches IN Georgia and Ala

Mrs. Dennison was Miss Josephine
Davis, daughter Of Rev. John Davis,
an Episcopal minister who was for
several years rector of church at
Greensboro, Ala. She was niece of
Samuel F. B. Morse, tho inventor of
the telegraph and u woman OF re-

The general business condition of
this section has far exceeded any
thing experienced here in several
years, according TO authorities in
various businesses, in official, bank
ing and mercantile circles. Post
master Il. L. O'Neal stated that the
business done here through postal
channels has been the greatest ever
experienced by the post office. The
five banks of the city all paid the
usual dividends and they received a
large amount of the loans that fell
due the latter part of the year.
In general mercantile circles an
unusually large business was done.

an enormous business. especially
during the last three months of the
year, according to Paul Holiner,
manager.
The furniture houses OF Huntsville
did tho best business they have ever
had, as did the hardware men. The
jewelry stores not only sold out in
all the latest novelty 3ewelry, but
handsome silver. cut glass and all the
more expensive goods were bought
readily.
The farmers came out very well
indeed because of tho increased
pricess received for their products
and many have paid off the debt into
which they were compelled to run
when the depression of 1920 set ~.
Many of the planters lost their fifsf
kill of meat because of unexpected
warm weather. but the loss was not
relatively heavy because they had
raised more hogs than usual. OPP
timism prevails among farmers and
business men over the coming in OF

His cockney accent was what made
immigration officials zoos askance at

by any uniform, and just for a mo-

uniform might be merely device to
bootleg his family into the United

James had his service papers with
him. however, and his discharge papers
from the British army--the famous
old "contemptbles" of 1914 and
James and his family were soon re-
