United States Senator Jeff Davis went; to White county today to deliver the op ening speech in his campaign for re election. His successor will be chosen by the legislature to be elected next year and an interesting contest is in pro8iect. The situation has been somewhat simplified by the announce ment of Governor Donaghey that he would be a candidate for re-nomlna-tton. For a long time doubt existed in the minds of the politicians as to whether the governor would try for another term or become a candidate for senator. His decision in the mat ter has left the senatorial contest a straight race between Senator Jeff Davis and former Congressman Steph en Brundldge, Jr., who expected to be his only opponent. Mr. Brundldge congress for ten years and has s represented the Second dlstrlot in strong following throughout the state. Thanksgiving Special Sale of Fine Table Linens At West's
