ANNISTON PLANS
 FOR GREAT FAIR
Junior Chamber Of Com merce To Sponsor An
 nual Exhibition
Annistnn Rnrean

ANNISTON, Ala, July 23.-Final plans for the formation of the Calhoun County Fair association are expected to be made this week following an inves- tigation into the matter now being con ducted by the farm committee of the Anniston Junior Chamber of Commerce. The proposition of establishing an an- nual county fair here has been facing the junior chamber and many different plans have been suggested.
 At a meeting of the board of directors last Monday night Thomas T. Little john of Troy, who has helped to essab- fish several fairs in Alabama, Georgia and Florida, appeared before the board and outlined tentative plans he had worked out for the local fair and it is said that the members of the board were very favorable towards following the policy advocated by him.
 However, the matter was referred to the farm committee with a request that it fully investigate the matter and take acion as soon as possible. The fair will be staged purely upon a co-opera- tive basis and will probably be housed in portable fair structures for the first year. Large tents will be used for ex- hibit halls. The tentative dates have been set for the fair on October I'll inclusive.

SILHOLLETTES OF STATE CAPITOL
Estate Capital Bureau

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 23.- Evidence of the manner in which the ranks of Confederate veterans are being reduced as the years go by was given today by Judge W. c. Fuller, one of the most prominent Confederate veter- ans of this section. Judge Fuller stat ed that he has been able to find only five veterans, including himself, who were citizens of Montgomery when the civil war began and who today reside in the Cradle of the Confederacy. Judge Fuller had considered starting move ment for a reunion of the Montgomery veterans, but found the number so small that there are scarcely enough left for a reunion. Of the men who went forth from Montgomery in the sixties to fight for Alabama and the south, only five are known to be living in this city to- day: Judge W. c. Fuller, John B. Fuller, Milton Riley, John M. Cheney and George W. Halls.
 Miss Virginia B. Handley, director of the state child welfare department, has paid a tribute to the devotion shown by the "boarding mothers" of the state child welfare department, who have temporary care of children who are wards of the department, until the chll- dren are placed in permanent homes. There are 20 of these "boardlng moth- CTS" in Birmingham, ten in Montgom- cry and two in Mobile, she said. One of the chief difficulties which they have to overcome, Miss Handley stated, IS in becoming so attached to the children entrusted to their care as to make part ing a sad business when the time comes to take the children from these tenn porary mothers" and place them in permanent homes, according to the de- partment's program.
 John Cottle, prominent druggist ot Gadsden and regarded as~one of the most promising bachelors of the Eto- wah county metropolis, was at the cap itol today and called on Attorneys Gen eral Harwell G. Davis and Judge Herze- berg of the state tax commission. MT Cottle sprang into instant favor with members of the fair sex at the capitol under chaperonage of his former asso' ciates in Etowah county, and his de- parture from the capital city will De viewed with regret.

When the delegates to the con-

ton of Labor, now being held
at the city of Juarez across the
Rio Grande river from FL Paso,
marched one thousand strong
over the international bridge,
thru the FL Paso streets and
into the convention hall of the
American Federation of Labor,
the dreary picture of the stodgy,

denly transformed into a
gathering of real workers.
Gompers Holds the Stage.
But the intrigues of Gompers with
the reactionary and reformist leaders
Of the Mexican Federation cast a dull
ing tone upon the note of proletarian
spirit engendered by the presence OF
real workers in overalls and dirty
shirts who wanted to sing the Inter
national.
Thru the Mexican takers, Rico and
Treyino. Gompers held the center OF
the stage. In his speech, Gompers
lauded Obregon, Gales, Rico, Trevinc
and Morones as the "saviours of dem
ocracy." Many of the Mexican dele
gates have no love for these politi
clans and labor takers so dear to
Gompers' heart. But, not understand
