COLBERT LOSES M'KEE
Superintendent Of Schools Tenders
 Reclamation

LEIGHTON, Ala, March 19.-(Spe- cial.)-J. T. Mckee, county superin- tendent of Colbert county schools, has announced his resignation from that post, to take effect on July l. 1923. MT. Mckee returns to the State Nor nal at Florence from leave of ab- sence granted him by the president of that school four years ago. Pro- fessor Mckee has done more for the schools of Colbert cunty than any man in years.
 When Mir. Mckee became county superintendent, the schools were poorly located and were mostly one- teacher schools. MT. Mckee has re- located the schools so that nine tenths of the children of Colbert county ara within five miles of a three or more teacher school. Eff teen now buildings have been built. Fifteen hundred desks have been put in the county; a library has been placed in all the schools with the exception of one or two very small schools; maps and charts are in the buildings. There are now only four one-teacher schools that have to teach more than three grades. A junior high school education has been made possible to practically all the country children. By means of trans portation, senior high school advan- tages are being offered to the coun- try children. Senior high schools are already located in Leighton. Tus- cumbia and Sheffield, and the peo- pie of Cherokee are planning to erect a high school building there.

 Poor health makes you nervous. ir- ritable and may be despondent; it makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmers SwampRoot. by restor- ing health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to over come such conditions.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Tlmely use of the pulmotor has revived the presidential boom of Atlee Pome- rene of Ohio and brought back into the democratic race the man who, until his defeat for reelection as United States senator last November, was conceded to have the best chance of being nominated by his party in 1924.
 Announcement that President Harding intends to seek second term is expected to improve Pome- rene's chances, for with the renomi- nation of the President, there Is q natural advantage for the democrats in nominating an Ohioan also.

For the mo- ment, they are trying to show that Pomerene suffered only a trick de- feat, and not real one, when Slm- con D. Fess, his republican opponent, was elected for the Senate last fall. Pomerene lost by only 50,000 votes out of total of 100000, a fraction al margin which doesn't mean much, his friends explain.

 Furthermore, they say Pomerene's defeat can be attributed to repub- lican leaders of the Anti-Saloon league, who rallied the church vote against him in tho closing week of the campaign. They recognize, how ever. that Pomerene had offended railroad workers by his support of the Esch- -Cummins act and by his vigorous anti-strike utterances; but as between him and Harding, labor would vote the democratic ticket. anyway, being opposed to the ad- ministration's railroad policy, it is insisted.

ALCAZAR ATTRACTION WHICH BEGAN MONDAY A KNOCKOUT, CLAIMED
Manager Royster Praises Story and Production.
 Beautiful Gowns

"only Shop Girl" the story which made Charles E. Bianey famous years ago, and which. it is predicted, will make the picture producers of it equally as famous, opened at tho AL cazar Monday. It Is described as a melodrama of dash, romance, beauti- full gowns and spirited action. The closing scene in ''Only a Shop Girr' is what Is technically described as a knockout"
 Manager Royster of the Alcazar states that this picture is the most satisfactory both as story and as a production, that he has seen this sea- son, and women, he states, will be especially interested in the super stunning gowns worn by Miss Estelle Taylor. Even in these days of gor- geous costumes these creations have made a sensation wherever the pie ture has been shown. Designed as they were for Miss Taylor by one of the leading modistes of Paris, they are gorgeous beyond description, he says.
 A reviewer declares: "Ltve. life and considerable laughter run all through the picture, which promises to be as great a success as was the
 
 adapted. The play offers clean. wholesome entertainment and at the same time contains thrills and &C., ton enough to satisfy the most vio- lent of gallery gods. The element of mystery winch runs throughout the story is sustained to the end, and the action runs the gamut of human emotions. laughter. tears, beauty, ugliness, poverty, riches, love and hate.
 ''The cast is well nigh perfect from every standpoint, and includes Els telle Taylor, Willard Louis, Mae Busch, Fully Marshall, Claire Du- brey, Wallace Beery. James Morrison, William Scott and last but not least, Baby Josephine Adair. Only & Shop Girl is one of the most human stories ever brought to the screen"
 Musical Moments With Alcazar Music Masters" George l.. Hamrick and Edwin l.. Taylor, have arranged a special musical program for this picture.
 In addition to the main feature at- traction the Alcazar offers a new Felix Cat comedy which for rare hu- mLr and laughs is worthy of consid- eration by everyone, especially since Felix acts with almost human i'm tuition and ability, thereby placing him on high plane with everyone liking clean humor, critic says.
