 It was reported yesterday afternoon that MT. Solon Jacobs had resigned the presidency of the Birmingham associa- tion, giving as a reason therefor a press ure of other and more important busi- ness, he being, as Is well known, commer- cial agent of the Central of Georgia. Eff fort was made to confirm the report, but without success. The authority of the sporting editor of the State Herald is gilt edged. and therefore to be believed. MT. Ward, who is vice president of the association, will no doubt succeed MT. Jacobs as president. In losing MT. Jacobs as president the Birmingham association loses warm advocate of baseball, as he is an enthusiast and always in the lead to promote athletic sports.
 The Bluebirds are again in close prox- unity to third place, as Atlanta has lost as many games as the locals and has only two more winnings. Today's game will, in all probability, go to the locals and in the event this is the case only a very small thread will separate the two clubs.
 ''Jocko" Fields, Atlanta's crack catch CT, is a great favorite all up and down the line. He is brimful of fun and occa- sionally bubbling over with 1t. He never lets his temper get away from him and gives good natured repartee on all occa- SionS.
 Clifford, formerly with the Oysters, is now with the Crackers, and yesterday was second in batting on his side. He is a clean ball player and will no doubt play great ball for the Gate City aggre- gation.
 Sparks Is slated to do the twirling for the locals today and Norton will more than likely go in the box for the visitors If these pitchers meet 1t will be for blood and the public may expect some fine pitching on both sides.
 For the benefit of all who come in on the excursion from Columbus today the State Herald is requested to announce that on presentation of their railroad tickets at the grand stand entrance no charge win be made, thus enabling them to see the game comtoI tably for the gate entrance fee.
 The Mobile-Columbus game, in the former city. was postponed until Sun day.

THEY WILL RETURN.

Major Screws of the Advertiser is him. self a candidate for congress in the Sec ond district against MT. Stallings. Frank Connolly, formerly of the Luyerne Lib eral. is now editing newspaper in Pine apple, in Wilcox county and is under stood to be for Clarke for governor and Screws for congress. He is the gentle man who created such a racket in 1894 in the Wyly-Stallings contest by the ex- hibition of letter which he claimed to have received from MT. Stallings. In this connection the following abusive edito- rials, taken from the Montgomery Adver- tiser, in it's issue of Saturday, August r, 1894, will no doubt be interesting reading, not only to MT. Connolly himself, but to the public generally, and particularly in view of the fact that the Advertiser faintly denies that it opposed Captain Wyly for congress. Listen to the Adver- tiser: 3d
 'The letter which has cut so much fig ure in this congressional canvass, and which one Connolly claims to have re- ceived from MT. Stallngs, is pronounced very forcibly to be a base forgery. See his card in today's Advertiser. A great many letters have been received at this office from MT. Stallings in the past eighteen months, and in not a single in- stance is the letter in his signature like the one attached to the letter exhibited by Connolly. Nor is the paper on which these letters are written like the paper used in the Connolly letter.
 Again:
 Since Connolly is injected into this canvass, it will be interesting to learn that in 1892 he was fierce Kolb editor over in Bibb county. Just after the elec- ton he experienced change of heart CD and feebly supported the Democratic ticket He dropped over into Demopolis, but his career there was short, if not sweet. He was next heard of in Cren- shaw county, and not even the Alliance Herald was more abusive of everything connected with the democratic party of this state than he was. Along toward the last of March of this year he again abandoned Kolb and professed to become a democrat. After leaving the Kolb gang and turning against them. he claims to have received a letter from MT. Stallings, which alleged letter is causing considera- ble comment in this district"

THE PRESIDENTS PLAN.

The Chicago Times Herald of the 24th contained a communication from it's Washington correspondent, Mr. Walter Wellman, giving the views of President Cleveland as to the forthcoming Chicago convention of the national democratic party. It looks rather strange to see such an important announcement com ing through republican newspaper and heralded by republican correspondent, but strange as it may appear there is no room to doubt the accuracy of MT. We'll toned over the signature of the presi- dent himself.
 MT. Welman says:
 The democratic party can win this year., said President Cleveland a few days ago to member of his cabinet, if it will declare unequivocally for sound money. No straddle, no compromise will do. On a straightout platform, with a candidate to match, we can carry the country During the last two weeks itcs in the conversation at the White House. The president has shown keen interest in the coming campaign, and has talked the matter oveS with the members of the cabinet as they have called to confer about public business It may be said the administration has agreed on programme, though not upon the details of the manner in which an attempt will be made to carry 1t out.
 "The keynote of the programme. as in spired by the president himself, is no compromise with silver This means direct antagonism to the Morrison idea

EOINDRY FOR GUNS.

If we are going to war with any coun- try we should make ready. We need ships, but we need guns more than we need ships. The San Francisco Argo- naut says: At the present time the gov ernment has not single gun and mount available for use on the auxiliary cruis- ers" This touches the weakest point in our national defense. We can build cheap gunboats in any number required on the upper courses of our navigable rivers and run them down to the sea- coast to repel invaders, but the guns can not be hastily improvised. We should establish factories and supply them With the necessary machinery, which is very costly, and keep them busy manufactur- ing guns all the time Five years start in gunmaking would be worth five times five years start in shipmaking.
 The government would do we'll to es- tablish foundres here at Birmingham for the manufacture of guns. This is the place for great government works. Let Senators Morgan and Pugh move in this matter.

ANTICIPATING ENCAMPMENT.
Alabama Regiments Will Have Their Tentng
 as Usual,

Military men are beginning to look for ward to encampment with considerable interest, and within short time specula- tion will be rife as to the location of the encampment. The appropriation by the state is not sufficient to meet all expenses, and, as has been the custom heretofore, the encampment, as to location, will be open to the highest bidder. It is said that Montgomery wants 1t and will raise an amount sufficient to pay the expenses. The Birmingham Railway and Electric company. it is said, also will make bid for the encampment and would like to have 1t located at East Lake.
 Yesterday Col. l.. V. Clark received a communication from Adjt. Gen. Samuel c. Jones saying that the encampments this year will be regimental and the time and place of holding them will be discre- tionary with the regimentH commanders.
