Indian Princess To Give Replies In Age-Herald
 Tomorrow

Princess Wahletka,, the physic prin- cess of the Cherokees, who will be seen at LOew's Bijou theater all this week in a demonstration of her psychic pow CTS and who will answer questions for the readers of The Age-Herald will ur- rive today from Atlanta. The prin- cess and her entuorage will stop at the Tutwiler hotel while here.
 Wahletka has been looking forward to her visit here as this was the an- cestral home of the Cherokee tribe and her great grandfather ruled over a vast domain in this state before the Indians were sent to the Indian territory, which is now Oklahoma. It was in Venita, Okla, that Wahletka, was born, the daughter of Pawn Afraid, whose gentle spirit passed to the keeping of the Great Spirit with the coming of Wah- letka.
 Wahletka will have busy Sunday going over with her secretaries the hun dreds of lette.s that have been sent to her by the readers of The Age-Heralo. Not only is Birmingham represented in the avalanche of letters that have been sent Wahletka to answer but almost every town in the state has sent ill questions.
 In tabulating the first consignment of mail, Princess Wahletka found that 96 questions were sent by men; 7S by young school girls 114 by college girls 7S9 by married women; 431 by widows and 1887 by single girls.
 When and Whom Shall I Marry?" was the favorite question by widows and girls. Is my husband true to me" or Does he really love me?" is the question usually asked by married women. Men seldom inquire about love. Their questions are business, real estate deals, travel and who will be president.
 Ten questions will be answered each day during the stay of Princess Wah- letka. The first questions will appear tomorrow morning. It is not too late to send in your questions Just write the question, giving correct name and address, send the question to Princess Wahletka, Loew's Theater. In an swering the questions only the initials will be used so that no embarrassment will be caused.

REST
 BEFORE ELECTION
Fairfield's Interest Centers In Race For Council President
Fairfield Rureaul

FAIRFIELD, Ala, Sept 13-The municipal campaign ended Saturday night. After six weeks of political activity the candidates rested on their oars until the battle of ballots begins Monday morning. The interest of voters centers principally in the race for president of the city council, which is new office and for which J.. W. Brooks and Alex c. Carter are of fering.
 The city government is changing from q mayor and five councilmen to a president of the council and twelve members, at the head of which is the mayor.
 Mayor Melford W. Pratt is being honored with second term without Op- position. His administration has been highly acceptable and offers to succeed him were generally discouraged.
 The contest for the presidency of the council went to the ascendency in in terest when the time limit left Hayor Pratt unopposed. MT. Brooks and Mir. Carter are both employees of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany and have many friends in this community. They have both been ac- tive in municipal affairs.
 The indications are that many close contests will develop among the coun- cilmanic races, there being twenty-five candidates for places on the council. The voting is not confined to- wards, but is to be from every part of the city.
