OBJECTIONS TO
 PRIMARY SEEM
 SM00THED OUT
Financial Affairs Are Ad- .justed To Suit Com
 mitteemen

Objections to Alabama's democratic presidential preferential primary March Hat least those made by committee men on financial grounds-were appar- ently swept aside Monday when State Chairman R. E. Evins issued, as chair man of the subcommittee on rules, a statement calling upon democrats elect ed to hold the primary to serve with out pay.
 This would reduce the cost of the election by many thousands of dollars below the seemingly insurmountable hurdle of $50,000, Mir. Evins com. mented.
 There are no legal objections to this method of financing the primary, and I am certain the men will serve, " Mir. Evins said. "This was the meth cd prior to 1915," he added. 2. Cost $2,4S5
 The cost of the primary, $2,4S5 for printing ballots and approximately the same figure for newspaper advertise ments, will be paid out of the commit tee funds, MT. Evins advised in his statement.
 Meantime, ten members of the dem. ocratic committee, two being Birming- ham men, will meet Friday morning at 10 o'clock in the Tutwiler hotel to lay before the whole committee, called by them, their opposition to the primary and the subcommittee.

Darnell is a member, will both hold their 1924 conventions in Florence.
 That the value of land in the Muscle Shoals district has multiplied many times ill the last few years was at owner of 60 acres near Florence. Two NuttihSo ol ulldild SAOWh oh thio tfdNt last year netted Mir. Eckls $305. The 60-acre tract was purchased by Mir. Eckls several years ago for S55. At that time it was supposedly worthless.
