 cent. Some states in recent months have disposed of bonds at less than per cent.
 Majority Great
 Returns from R great majority of the counties during Tuesday indi- cated that the majority in favor of the highway bond amendment will be as great as the majority given for the first amendment, February 16, 1920 Tho vote against the amendment was scattering and practically all cities and towns gave an overwhelming ma jority Returns, incomplete and unof- ficial. indicate that the city of Mo bile probably had led the larger cities in the majority, its vote being about T5 for the amendment to every one against it. However, some of the small towns beat this record by not casting vote against the amend ment. This was true of Vina, Frank- lin county, which gave 150 for and none against, and Newton, Dale coun- ty, with 142 for and none against Demopolis, Marengo county, did al most al well, giving 449 for and against.
 Expressions of gratitude to the voters of the state for the confidence shown in the amendment were uttered Tuesday by F. J. Cramton, president of the Alabama Highway Improve ment association; ". s. Keller, state highway engineer: A. E. Loder, dis trict engineer for the federal govern ment, and Governor Kilby.
 Cramton's Statement
 T was never of the opinion that the amendment should be defeated" said MT. Chamton. T knew the peo- pie of Alabama were patriotic enough to vote this bond issue when 1t meant no increase in taxes and meant perma- nent roads throughout the state. Cred it for the wonderful victory must be given to the chairmen of the coun- ty campaign committees and their able co-workers, to the newspapers and to the good women. The county chairmen and their assistants quit their private business and stayed with tho campaign. Only four newspa- pers in the state so far as we are advised opposed the bond amendment, they being the Mountain Eagle at Jas per, the Geneva Reaper at Geneva, the South Alabamian at Jackson and the Coosa River News at Center. All others were in favor of ratification | Too much cannot be said about the work of the women. They did more than their part in the campaign and verify believe 95 per cent of the votes cast by women were in favor | of the amendment.
 Justification means some wonder | full things for the state. The high way commission can assure the people that work will be started as soon as the first bonds are sold" Returns from various counties fol- low:

Barnhardt to Lose Out
 In connection with Moley's ar rival in the Magic City it might he mentioned that one of his boys he sent up to the Pittsburg Pirates two summers ago is about to lose out. This seldom happens to man who has been uttered by Moley. Barney DreY- fuss has come to look upon the stoic Moley as one of the best juC.ses of baseball flesh in the world.
 Yet they do say that tho Pitts burg management is dissatisfied with Barnhart. the former Baron third -saeker, and that Gibson and Dreyfuss are looking around for successor to Barney at third base. It is stated that they are Angling for Joe Schepner, Louis vile infielder, but that Cap Neale and company staggered the Pirate moguls when they placed 8 price of s3O,000 on Schepner. Negotia- tions are still on, but unless the Louisville management lowers it's sights Pittsburg will have to look elsewhere for a man to take Barnhardt's place.
 Former Southern LeaEuer
 Schepner, it will be remember ed, Is a former Southern league player, who did not create any wild furore of excitement when he pastimed in this league. In 1918 he was released from the New York Giant rookie list to New Orleans. Schepner started out at third for the birds. and along came the war. He enlisted in the Navy and few weeks af- ter he had cast his lot with Uncle later turned over to the Louls- ghost until the coming of peace.
 In 1919, after the armistice had been signed Schepner went back to New Orleans. but the birds were so well fortified with their infield that they sent him over to Mobile for almost song. He proceeded to play great ball for the Bears and went to the St. Louis Browns that fall through the draft. Last spring he cane south with the Browns, but was water turned over to the Louis-
