OTHERS MAY ANNOUNCE
Additional Candidates May Seek Of
 flee in Franklin

Phil Campbell. April 1s.-(specia1.) ) It appears to be rather an undecided question as to whether all entries for all offices to be voted upon in this years primaries in Franklin are yet in, there remaining yet a few who are dreaming over a satisfactory solution of the problem. Rumor has 1t that Thomas R. Berry, a we'll known insurance and real estate man of Russellville, may enter the con- test for the republican nomination for either sheriff or circuit clerk, friends encouraging him. 1t is said, to announce for one of these two positions. D. R. Freeman, republican, now serving his third term as circuit clerk, is opposed for the nomination In his party by H. E. Plaxco and W. W. Hudson, while the democratic Marshall C. Hester. For the repub- lican nomination for sheriff J. L. Hargett, W. T. Cook and W. E. Dempsey have announced the demo- cratic committee having placed against this ticket the name of Ar thur Nelson.
 Entries are probably complete for probate judge, the republican can didates being the present incumbent, Judge A. w. Hargett, Thomas 6. Roberson, cashier of the Citizens bank, and Emit L. Reid, cashier of the First National bank. The demo- cratic candidate is John D. Petre. Apparently there will be little if any effort made by the republicans to put out a candidate for representative from this county in the legislature, and in that event Attorney Travis Williams will have walkover, he being the democratic committees selection for the position. For board of education the democratic candi- dates announced are Henry Vim berly, w. A. Stott and Charley Mo- Graw; republican, W. s. Counts. For state senator to represent the Thirty-first district, composed of Franklin, Colbert and Marion coun- ties. John P. Middleton of the latter county is the announced candidate on the democratic side.

WHEN COURT IS CALLED
Expect Big Night With
 Judge "Ab" on the Bench

When Judge Alb calls court to order tomorrow night at the ballroom of the Hillman hotel. one of the biggest fun programs Birmingham Post No. 1 of the American Legion, ever put on will begin.
 The cause coming to be heard will be a breach of promise suit. The wronged woman, and the philosopher was right who said that hell hath no fury like that of woman scorned," in the case cannot speak
 Legionairre Woodward, the defedant in the case, will speak only French, if Judge Alb" allows him to say any thing at all.
 The judge himself does most of the speaking. Of course, Luther Pat rick, Frank Dixon, Jim Davis and Hollish Parrish will come in for their characteristic lines.
 At the final meeting of the com mittee on arrangements yesterday, Frank Dixon said that the Judge had some Hines in the play" that come periously near the line" One of ths members suggested that "the nearer, the better" to which everybody agreed. and let it go at that.
 There will be a jury of 12, six of the prettiest girls, and six of the ugliest men that could be found, have already been drawn.
 Post Commander Bailles said last night that from the reports of 70 ticket salesmen, only one person had been solicited who had declined to buy one or more tickets for Judge Abs" and the Legion's performance Friday night.
 The post commander says the mock trial-show will be a thriller.
