MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 21.-An appeal for communication of the death sentence of Clarence Bailey, shell. shocked World War veteran, sentenced to hang November 28 at Montgomery for the murder of a fellow-prisoner at Kilby, was presented to the state par don board today. Maj. John F. Nc -Ewen of Birmingham and Capt. H. W. Thompson of Alexander City, in whose commands Bailey served, and Lawrence Lee of the local law firm of Lee & Graves, appointed by the court to de. fend Bailey, appeared on behalf of the petition.
 Major McEwen declared that to hang Bailey, in view of his mental condition, would be nothing short of legalized murder" He stated that Bailey is 2 man with the mind of child, and, al though able to distinguish between right and wrong, he has not the power to choose between right and wrong.
 Bailey made creditable record over seas with the One Hundred and Sixty seventh Alabama, and was shell-shocked and gassed while in France, it was stated. Returning to Alabama, he was sent to the penitentiary on a forgery charge. While at Speigner prison he killed prisoner and was given a life sentence. Transferred to Kilby, he fatally stabbed James Culpepper, an- other convict, and was given the death sentence in Montgomery circuit court.

FROST HASTENS
 COTTON OPENING
Staple Of Crop In Ten nessee Valley Best
 In Years
Tennessee Valley Bureau)

ALBANY-DECATUR, Ala, Nov. 2l.
 The frost of the last few days has caused all the cotton in this section to open, farmers report and only few more bales remain to be picked out in Morgan county. It is stated that at no time has the staple of the cotton been superior to what it is this year. The long dry spell gave the cotton ample time to mature and the lack of rain kept the staple from being soiled with mud. Local ginners have made a record so far for the month of November that sur passes all previous ginning records. The Home Oil mills ginned 1000 more bales in November than it did in October. The Echols gin turned out 1871 bales in November to 1885 in October. The Patterson ginned 292 bales this month, bringing its grand total to 967 bales.
