Dear Annabel: l made up my mind,
just as you have done, and | am over
joyed to be able to tell you just what
he is like. He is about five feet eley-
en- inches in height, has gray eyes and
brown hair. He is clever, but not so
much so but that he believes me to be
the possessor of much the brighter
mind of the two. He sings divinely;
plays the piano like a master; dances
beautifully: is always well, but never
o~verdressed. He adores me and loves
TO wait upon me hand and foot. He
seldom drinks, and smokes only after
dinner He always remembers those
little attentions that made him so fas-
cinating at first, if you get what
mean. Theatre tickets, flowers, choc-
olates, and so on. | eve tire OF
thinking of him, either. He was never
born. MABEL.

The rush of farm boys to a nearby

the depot almost every week in a

after six big fellows had climbed
aboard. the conductor turned to a big
youth leaning against a baggage truck
and asked him if he was going, too.
Nope, I'm in class B."

WEST POLITICALLY IS REVOLUTIONARY HARRISON CLAIMS
Democrats Have Chance To Win Over Republican Votes,
 Senator Says
WASHINGTON BUREAU 1
 THE AGE-HERALD ! N-ashinOfnn n q Se,af o1 !

The west politically is revolution ary, according to Senator Pat Har- rison of Mississippi, who has just re- turned to Washington after an ex- tension tour of that section beyond the Mississippi river.
 "The condition Of the farmers is deplorable." said the senator, and they look to Washington for relief The republican administration last session did not afford that relief and the Fordney- McCumber tariff act, by increasing the cost of everything the farmers buy, added fuel to the flame.
 'Thousands of people who voted the republican ticket in 1920 would vote the democratic ticket today. Un- less remedial legislation, really eff fective, is enacted as soon as the Congress is again in session, it would be strangely uninformed individual who would predict republican suc- cess next year"
 Senator Harrison would not oppose an extra session for the relief of the farmers, but he would insist that Congress be permitted to work out its own plans. Railroad rates, he holds. could be reduced to the relief of the farmers. but he opposes any thing that smacks Cf governmental supervision, or price fixing of agri- cultural products. Senator Harrison, while engaged in study of redemp- tion of swamp and cutover lands, of interest to all southern states, paid special attention to the political sit- uation and did some effective cam paigning, 1t is understood.

COUNTY MUST KEEP UP ROADS THROUGH CITY
Overton Unsuccessful In Effort To Take Bill From Adverse Calendar
 STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERAID
Montgomery. Ala, Sept.


 Senator John Overton, Randolph was defeated in efforts to take the east and west and north and south highway bill affecting Jefferson county and the city of Birmingham from the adverse calendar, Friday, when he failed to secure the IS votes of senators, necessary under parliamentary law to remove a bill from the adverse calendar. Vote on the Overton motion was Is to IS.
 Senator Overton championed the cause of Jefferson county with the declaration that the county should not be required by law to maintain public thoroughfares in Birmingham ham, even though the thoroughfares were connecting links of trunk high ways.
 Senator Walter s. Brewer, Jeffer- son, opposed Senator Overton in his efforts to place the bill on the cal endar for consideration of the upper house Senator Brewer charged Jef- ferson county had "in a high handed manner embezzled $216,000 due the city of Birmingham from the 10 cent road fund, 30 per cent of which fund was provided by legislative en- actment for Birmingham" Senator Brewer said Jefferson county in open defiance of the law has used the funds at will and unless precautions are taken by the legislature will continue to do so.

CHICAGO POLICE SEIZE 2,300 BARRELS BEER
Police And Federal Agents Spring
 Surprise Party

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Mayor Will liam E. Dever's campaign to make Chicago dry resulted in seizure of 2.30O barrels of beer and the closing of 16 notorious saloons Friday.
 The beer was seized by police and federal agents, who, having been tipped off, sprang a surprise party on beer runners as they prepared to dash through the brewery gates and past the guards with heavily loaded trucks.
 Early publication of details of the three murders in the beer war" was promised Friday by Chief of Detec- tive Hughes. The killings are about cleared up, he said.
 Police efforts were set back, how ever. when Judge David of superior court released Red" Golden from custody on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence to hold him. Golden is alleged to have been with former Deputy Dan McFall and an unknown man, one of whom Is be- lieved to have killed Jerry OConnor, beer runner of the O'Donnell gang. Earlier announcements Friday indi- cated McFall and Golden would be charged with the murder at once.

 With soldiers on the alert and with bayonets fixed surrounding the governors mansion, and his own personal body guard refusing ad mittance to any callers unless sent for by the chief executive, Walton has kept far away from newspaper men.
 When he came to the door Friday night to give out the military board evidence, he was besieged by the re- porters who represent every large paper in the state and a number over the country.
 Bewildered at first. walton soon became collected and in his charac- teristic energetic way, went about answering questions.

 The governor thought for a mo- ment.

 q know that w. B. McBee. who is leading this movement for a trump meeting, is an active member of the klan of Duncan, Okla"
 Here the governor paused
 Well what are you going to do with them?" was flung at him.
 They will be regarded as klans- men and not legislators if they at tempt to meet You know my ruling regarding the meeting of klansmen, Walton retorted.
 He refused to say what action he would take should the legislators ap- pear at the capitol on Wednesday morning to hold their meeting but said an announcement would be made Saturday at noon.
 Ut may be, boys, that I shall have to start my own paper to get the truth to the people," Walton went on, "the papers in the state have been very unfair.
 "The evidence secured by the mili- tary board has proven to be just what I expected of the klan. It is a lawless organization.
 Boys, the klan is whipped!" he concluded.

Jackson Day To Give Party Chance To Look Over Lay Of The Ground For 1924 Presidential Campaign
 PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES TO BE ON HAND FOR MEET While Politics Will Be Played, Dinner At Washington Will Not Be Sordid, As The Party Feels Celebration Is Due
WASHINGTON BUREAU 1
 THE AGE-HEkALD Washington. ID. C.. Sent. 2I

Plans are almost completed for the biggest gathering of important demo- crats, national conventions excepted, for Washington. January 8. in the recent history of the country.
 Invitations have been extended to democrats of prominence in every state of the union. Ostensibly, they will come together to celebrate day given over to the memory of An drew Jackson. Really, they will come, it is made apparent, to size up" the situation and feel out" the other fellow
 Assurance is already given. it is said today, that all democratic candi- dates for the presidency, with the possible exemption of Henry Ford, (who is not known to be a demo- cratic candidate) will attend. There will be Oscar W. Underwood of Ala bama, William G. McAdoo of Cali fornis, William Jennings Bryan of Florida, Senator Ralston of Indiana, Governor Smith of New York, Gov ernor Cox of Ohio, and others.
 o O O
 Other Leaders Coming.
 There will be here, too. all demo- crats In Congress, many members of the committee, and representatives of the press, who, in addition to their editorial duties, give attention to na- tional politics. Furthermore. as- surance is given that the so-called bosses" Murphy of New York, Brennan and Taggart of Indiana, Thomas Ryan of Virginia, and others, will break bread on that occasion. And there will be on hand those who are watchful lest Underwood or Rals- ton or McAdoo or Ford assume too superior lead.
 The Jackson Day dinner in Wash ington was not held this year. It was announced last January how ever, that democrats would hold themselves in reserve for January, 1924, the beginning of a presidential year. Atgthat early date, plans were undertaken to make the dinner highly exceptional. It is said now that those plans have Ilatured to such an extent that the most roseate hope will materialize.
 While politics will be played, of course. it is said, the dinner will not be sordid. Democrats, it is pointed out, have just cause to rejoice. They have seen what they believe to be the failure of an administration. the peo- pie rendered frantic and revolution ary because of the alleged failure, and & republican majority in both houses of Congress of unprecedented proportions, so greatly reduced and

WON'T BUY FORT
Pershing's offer Of Property Declined
 By New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 21.-The New Orleans commission council has declined the offer of Gen. John j. Pershing to sell to the city for $25,000, old Fort St. Philip, located 75 miles below New Orleans on the Mis- sissippi river. The fort was first of fered to the state, but Governor Parker in a letter to Mayor McShane advised that the state has no use for the property and thought that the city might care to purchase it.
 Fort St. Philip is one of the old Spanish defenses built more than a century ago and is situated on sev- eral thousand acres of land. It also was an important Confederate strong hold during the Civil war.
