Kilby, of Annis- ton and James J. Mayf1eld, of Montgomery.
 Roads an Issue
 Each of the four gubernatorial candidates made road building an issue. each campaigning for a dif- ferent plan, this making the pri- mary an indirect referendum on the question. Charles A. McDowelI, jr, lieutenant governor; A. H. Car michael, Bird Graves and A. c. Patterson are the candidates. Con- gressmen from ten districts will be nominated along with county off, cers.

the Jew. and the falling of the
tile upon GratUs, the Roman king.
which accident sends Ben-Hur to
the "galleys for life" and his

aboard ship-strokes of the galley
slaves. the sea fight between the
Romans and the pirates, the rescue
of Arrius by Ben-Hur and the
adopt on of Hur as the son of
Arrius. Then on to the great
chariot race. the release of the
dungeon prisoners. the miracle. the
reunion of BenIIur with his
mother and sister and the culmina-
ton of his romance with Esther.
In the Interpretation of the char.
