a candidate for the nomination again. When he ran for his second term he was opposed by Horace Gibson, then of Corona but now of Jasper, and this was very exciting race for both men made a very active cam paign. This time Bankhead is op- posed by the same man, and some think that a very interesting race will develop. Gibson is busy now laying plans for his campaign and will soon take the field personally and will wage a hard fight. Nothing has been heard from Bill Bankhead as yet but his friends say that he will run the best race that he has ever run and that his nomination and elec- tion will be easy this time. Just what issues these gentlemen will have in this campaign is not known at this date but the prohibition issue can not figure in the fight for both men are prohibitionists and have sup ported this cause for the past seV- eral years MT. Gibson is coal oper- ator and has extensive coal interests, but has always indorsed organized labor MT. Bankhead is the origina- tor of the bill introduced in Congress recently for the federal aid to the suffering miners and their families in Alabama and West Virginia. So
 
 The race for the two representa- tives from Walker county to next legislature Is developing some inter est. There are six men running. pr. J. M. Miller of Cordova, J. H. Fan ming of Dora, J. B. Powell c. l.. Robins and w. WorthIng of Jasper and Henry Sudduth of Carbon Hill are running. In this campaign there are two or three issues that will come up for consideration. The first one the voters will want to know is how the different men stand on the ques- tion of the Alabama Power company as to its future position in the matter of exemption on taxation. The pro- hibition question will enter into the matter to the extent that the voters will insist upon the attitude of the candidates relative to the cereal bev- craze bill. There are number of local matters that will figure very much in this race. The state senator will come from one of the other coIn- ties this time as there is an agree ment between the three counties com prising this district that each one shall have its turn in sending the state senator.
 Probate Office
 The probate judge race Is between the present incumbent, Judge k. w. Long, and pr. Ca S. Glider of Carbon Hill. These two men represent the finest type of manhood in the county and no very heated campaign is ex- pected as both are the warmest of friends and have been life long politi- cal associates.
 The circuit judges race is going to have a very warm time. Judge T. l.. Sowell the senior judge in the dis trict is running for reelection. He has been judge for a number of years and is very popular in all the counties comprising this judicial circuit. The junior judge in this circuit is a re- publican, Judge J. J. Curtis. It Is not known whether he will be the candidate for his party or not. Judge

Mobilee Company Must Con- tinue Present RateS-RaiI- roads Petition Is Denied
 in GadSden Case
By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age-HeraId, 22l-2 First National bank BulIdlna

Montgomery. April 7.-( Especial. J. Public service corporations did no; fare well in decision of the public service commission made public to- day. Shortly after the commission issued a temporary order requiring the Mobile Stret Car company to con tinue it's present rates in effect until final decision is rendered it issued an order requiring the Alabama Power company to put users of X-Ray ma chimes on lighting rates instead of power rates, another order denying the petition of the Louisville and Nashville railroad for increase in the rates for transferring shipments from one station to another in Gadsden and still another denying the petition of the American Railway Express com pany for permission to close the agen- cy of the company at Foshe.
 In addition to these orders the com mission granted the petition of the Bank of Camden which will require the American Railway Express com pany to receive shipments of money the evening before the train leaves Camden and issued ctiation to the Frisco to appear at special meeting April 20 and show why 1t should not be required to provide adeouate freight service to the Central Coal company on it's spur track leading from Carbon Hill.
 In the Gadsden case, the I,ouisvilIe and Nashville proposed that the rate of five cents for transferring 100 pounds between stations. be increased to six cents and that the minimum cnarge be increased from 15c to zoe.
 In the x-ray case the commission held that IS x-ray machines are used lntermlttently and not for long peri ods 1t was not just to require their owners to pay power rates which carry minimum charge even though no electricity be used The offer pro vides that lighting rates shall h. used but that the person desiring the service must bear the cost of Install Ing any extra electric anuinnnnt

IRISH DESTROY BOOZE
 IN CUSTOM HOUSE RAID
By Associated Pr.ss

Dublin, April 7.-The worst attack yet made in pursuance of the boycott On Belfast goods took place at 8 o'clock this morning when the bond ed stores of the customs house were raided and large quantities of wine whisky, mostly from a Belfast dis tlllery. One hundred, men armed With revolvers, sledge hammers and tlilery. with which Sir James Craig, the uulster premier, is connected were destroyed Fully 100 men armed pickaxs broke their way into the premises, where they smashed CASKS or liquor, pouring it over the floor and into the city sewers.
 An official estimate of the damage has not yet been made, but the Dub lin Evening Mail places the figures at hundreds of thousands of pounds. Most of this, however, would be the duty so the loser is the government authority, in this case the provision al government. The boycott com. mittee states that 5000 casks were destroyed, or, roughly, half a mil lion gallons. It estimates the value of the liquor, apart from the duty, at 25o,e90- pounds, 9s sxs c4E HR'
 Boycotting Belfast goods is now the prominent activity of the dis sention republican army section The chief officers of this group are found ta Orange hall, which was recently communicated and which is occupied partly by expelled Belfast workers

THE ENTERTAINMENT A
DIXIE THEATRE LAST
NIGHT
(By Special. Reporterl

(By Special Reporter)
Under the auspices of the
Ciarksville Literary Club there
was given in the Dixie Theatre
on Thursday evening a most un-
usual amateur production-'' -''The |
Importance Of Being Earnest. u
The selection Of this play was a
happy one indeed, as it is witty,
clever, and interesting in true
Oscar Wilde style from beginning
to end.
The characters were good,
without exception. Frank Flu
trell and Ennis Bryan were quite
funny in the pose Of dignified
servants, and took their parts
well. Mrs. Robert johnson was
typical English governess in her
portrayal Of Miss Prism. 1t
would really seem that Mr.. Clee
Vaughan missed his calling in be-
ing publisher, after seeing him
in the part Of Rev. Canon Chasu-
ble, as his ecclesiastical interpre-
tation was without flaw, and he
was thoroughly dignified, cour-
teous, and thoughtfully kind
throughout. Miss Gertie Dunn
was delightful Miss Fairfax
and charmed the audience during
the entire play. Lady Bracknell,
her mother, was interpreted by
Miss Elizabeth Kitchin in a real
spirit Of aristocratic snobbishness
and arrogance, which showed tai
ented action and splendid train
ing. Miss Annie Maria
Mcdowell was quite lovely
in the part Of Cecily Cardew and
delighted everyone. John Josey
and Jerry Brown were perfectly
fine, perfectly English, and
screamingly funny. It was in
deed an all-star cast.
The audience was fairly large
and full Of enthusiasm through
out the evening. The generous
Iapplause expressed their delight
Of the drama, which was so skill
: fully staged and so attractively
!: given.
A very enjoyable feature Of
the evenings entertainment was
the singing Of Mr.. R. Stanley
Travis, accompanied on the piano
e by Mr. John Josey, who also as
: sisted in the singing, and a quar-
tet by Mess. John Josey, Fran!
Futrels, W. D Harden and R.

LIVESTOCK SHOW
HERE IN Spring
Gillian Believes the Industry
Would Be Benefited BY the
Exposition; No Plans
Made AS Yet

That the Carter County Livestock as
sociation will hold show in Ardmore
some time next spring, is prediction
made by j. Robert Gillian, vice presi.
dent of the organization.
The association was organized some
time ago with f. Dunlap as president,
and practically all Of the breeders OF
pure bred stock in the county as men,
bers, and collectively, own some Of the
finest pure bred animals in the state.
Mr.. Gillian says that such a meeting
as proposed would stimulate the live.
stock industry in this and other soutn-
ern Oklahoma counties and be good
thing for members to enter into friendly
competition with each other.
A meeting of this kind was held two
years ago, but embraced all counties
in the southern part of the state tina,
cared to participate, whether this pro
posed show will be conducted In a like
manner, or restricted to Carter county
will be decided upon when the associa
ton meets to perfect plans.
