RESULT NOT SURPRISE
Mayor Expresses Elation, But Ex 4 pected Such Action


 SHEFFIELD, Ala, Feb. 1.-The entire citizenship of the Tennessee Val ley is elated over the result of the re- ferendum vote taken by the Mobile Register as to the Ford offer. Mayor A. H. Roulake had this to say:
 The people of the Tennessee Val ley are very much gratified at the re- suit of the endorsement of the Ford offer given by the people of Mobile through the medium of the poll made b ythe Mobile Register and News Item. The result was most pleasing, but Oc- casiOned no surprise, as we were con fident that the vast majority of the people of Mobile stood with the people of the rest of the state in their sup port of the Ford offer. It is a recog- nized fact that the masses everywhere in the United States are almost a unit in their support of this offer and it is only in exceptional cases where through strong pressure by the, power company it is able to enlist support in it's effort to defeat the Ford offer.
 ''In this connection I wish to com mend without reservation a consistent and strong fight which the Age-Her- aid has been making in its service to the people in all matters of public i'm terest. This paper should receive the most liberal support from the people of Alabama and should. receive the united support of every man and wOm- an in the Tennessee Valley"

1. MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. Il. Inmates of Kilby prison have in many eases taken their unlucky situation philosophically and are studying with the object of making the best of their lives when the prison doors clang be- hind them, according to information received today from Miss Frances Halls, extension librarian of the state department of archives and history. The department of archives and his tory, in conjunction with the state con yict department, has within the last year, established a library at Kilby prison, and patrons of the library are showing taste for books providing vocational and practical business edu- cations, as well as reading intended for diversion. Y
 The library at Kilby has given a good insight into the ambitions and tendencies of many of the inmates of the prison. One convict has been dis covered who is taking a correspondence course, paying for it himself. A sur prisingly' large number of students of psychology have been discovered, Il of the prisoners being engaged in psy- chology studies.
 The circulation of the prison library for the month of January was over 800, and the prisoners are showing keen interest in books of all kinds.
 VI
 Few people, perhaps, imagine the ex- tent of the work done by the state lab- oratory in combating disease in Ala bama. During the month of January, 1924, the laboratory and it's five branches made a total of 5,200 bac- teriological examinations for doctors of the state. This compares with 5000 such examinations last January, show ing increasing demands being made upon the laboratory. During January 45,O00 cubic centimeter of typhoid vac cine, sufficient to immunize 15,000 to 10000 persons, was manufactured at the laboratory. Two new branches of the laboratory, established since the beginning of 1924 at Tuscaloosa and Anniston, are already rendering ef- ficient services for the doctors and for Ae public health of the state.

SCHOOL FORCED 1 TO ADMIT PUPlLS
Charge Of Negro Blood Is Dismissed By Judge In
 Ashville Case
(GADsUEN BUREAU)

GADSDEN, Ala, Feb. 11.-Judge O. A. Steele, sitting in equity has granted ti,- petition of Peter Short macy for a writ of mandamus to com pei the board of education of Ashville, Alt, to admit his five orphaned grandchildren to the public schools of that town. They had been dismissed without explanation, it was claimed, but at the hearing the, school board contended that there was negrrO blood in ShOrtnacy's mother. The evidence showed that she was not only white but she belonged to a wealthy and aristocratic family of Etowah county, that she was a member of the Chris tian Advent chuhch of her community and she was buried in the churchyard cemetery.
 It was also shown that nobody had ever questioned the right of Shortnacy and his brothers and sisters to go to the white schools where they were born and reared. In granting the writ, Judge Steele stated that it was evil dent some malicious person had. started the story and it had followed the Shortnacy family when it moved to St. Clair county six years ago. The court proceedings were agreed upon, it is said, to forever set the rumor at rest and vindicate the rights of the Short macy children, all of whom were in court and subjected to examination.
 Narrow Escape In Fire
 Fred Smith and members of his family bearly escaped with their lives from their home which was destroyed by fire early Sunday morning. They saved nothing but their night clothes The loss is estimated at $4,00O with in- surance of S1 900.
