MUDDLE IN FIRST
 AGAIN TO BE AIRED
HanniS TayIor's Friends for the
 Second Time Appeal
10 THE STATE COMMITTEE
Protest Based on Fact That Wash Fay Tor Was Nominated by Minority of Jackson Convention-Com-
 mittee Meet Thursday.

Hannfs Taylor is to get a rehearing be- fore the state comittee in the appeal from the action of the First district convention at Jackson.
 Chairman Robert J. Lowe, of the state executive committee last night issued a call for a meeting of the committee in Montgomery next Thursday. September 9. Letters of notification were sent all mom- bers of the committee, and a full attend ance is probable
 The action of the state committee in this case is being awaited with great interest. not only by the people of the First district but of the entire state. This is the second time the committee has been called to- gether to justify matters in the district. The first call was on the qualification of voters, the district committee having ig- nored the action of the state committee in letting down the bars in the primaries S. After waiting two days for a quorum, the state committee reversed the action of the district committee, and ordered new pri- maries in which all voters who would pledge themselves to support the nominee, should be eligible to participate.
 It is claimed that a good many el ctors who voted in August for populist county officials voted in the primaries in Wash ington and Choctaw. The greater number of them, it is stated, voted for Hannis Taylor, and secured for him majority Of of the delegates to the convention in those counties. The Wash Taylor supEo t. S sent contesting delegations to the district convention at Jackson, where they were in control of the machinery. The contests were referred to a credentials commi tee compoed of three supporters of Wash Fay Tor and two of Hannis Taylor When the Mobile delegation saw that the contesting delegations would be seated, they with drew from the convention, thus breaking the quorum. The Wash Taylor delegates proceeded with the convention, however seating their delegation from Washing ton, and both delegations from Choctaw allowing each a half vote. Wash Taylor was thus nominated by exclamation.
 It is on this point of lack of a quorum that Hannis Taylor's friends base their ap- peal The apepal is the result of mass meeting of his friends, held in Mobile. Chairman Lowe yesterday received a re- quest from the Mobile committed, compos- ed of Winston Jones, E. B. Kirkbride, John L ldpleT, |. J. Lyons, n. V. ldylOf, or Mobile; O. l.. Gray, of Choctaw, and c. c. Kimbrough, of Washington, asking that the state committee be called to hear the case. The chairman promptly issued the following official call:
 Birmingham Ala, Sept. 16, 1898. The state executive committee of the democratic and conservative party is here by called to meet in Montgomery on next Thursday, the g, instant. full attend ance is desired.

WILL TAKE MAIL 1a FROM YOUR DOOR Only Thing Necessary is to Pro-
 vide a Box. UP-TO-DATE CONVENIENCE Birmingham Placed in the Same Class With Other Cities Having House to House System of Col
 lecting Mails.

In the course of a week citizens can post letters without stepping on the ground.
 This has been brought about by or der received from the department at Wash ington by Postmaster Hughes, giving to Birmingham a house to house system of collecting mail.
 This will place Birmingham in the class with Richmondt Ticksburg, Atlanta and New Orleans, the only southern cities hav- ing this up-to-date convenience.
 Under this system citizens are only re- quired to purchase boxes, fix them in con- venient places about their residences and the carriers will take up the mails. When the system was first inaugurated the gov ernment appointed commission to eX- anime boxes to decide which most practical. The commission, after inseti- gating more than a thousand different patents, recommended six boxes. Of this number the department selected four as the most desirable. These boxes are sold by the government through the local off, ces to those wo desire them. In a few days Postmaster Hughes will have num- Der of them here for inspection.
 They work automatically and are divided into two compartment. When the carrier makes his rounds he places the mail for delivery in one end and is warned by a neatly arranged device that there is mail to be taken up in the other.
 Postmaster Hughes expresses the opin- ion that with the universal use of the boxes the city service will become much more effective and satisfactory.

BICYCLE RAGING AT
 LAST A REALITY
Work Well Under Way on Track
 at West End.
COMPANY INCORPORATED
John M. Hammer Associated With Local Enthusiasts-Have Formed the "Cy- cle Racing Association'-Fi
 Meet Planned for October.

Work has begun on a bicycle track an eighth of a mile in length, and is being backed by local cycle enthusiasts.
 The first meet will probably be given the first week in October, lasting six days, when some of the crack riders of the country are expected to participate.
 Movements have been started time and again to have a track in Bt<ningham, but until this time work on a track was never actually begun. Those behind this move- ment intend to push it with success and are thoroughly in earnest. The enterprise goes under the name of the Cycle Racing association" and the following organiza- ton has already been perfected:
 President-Ed Warren.
 Viee-President-Al Hood.
 Secretary-Guy Cooper
 Treasurer-M. T. Stradford.
 Manager-John M. Hammer.
 The place for the beachers next to left field is being transformed into a grand stand and the last game of base ball to be played at the park for some time to come
 
 event that another Southern league is launched another park will be secured.
 The building of the track is now under way, and if the lumber arrives as fast as expected it will be in condition for some riding by the middle of next week. The track is being built for speed. much more than the track at Nashville. It will. when completed, stand a speed of a mile in 1:40. while the Nashville track is unsafe at a speed greater than 1:50 On the turns it will be banked ten feet and six inches. The stretches themselves will be banked about four feet. Both of the ends and the sides are now completed and all that remains is to lay the floor.
 The company which is to operate this track has been incorpora ted, and 1t will re- ceive it's commission probably today. The officers and stockholders will meet again next Thursday evening, when a definite programme of races will be made out. As has been announced, it is proposed to open the track with six day race of one hour each night, with short races thrown in. After that races will be held every Friday and Saturday nights until the weather gets too cold. The track will then be closed until next season.
 Much credit for the organization of this track is due to Manager Hammer. He has had a great deal of experience in the man. aging af bicycle racing, having been asso- ciated for several years with Jack Prince, the manager of the Nashville and Atlanta tracks. The news of his coming to Bir- mingham to invest his money in a track, to- gether with the local enthusiasts was printed exclusively in the Age-Herald a week more ago. They proceeded so quiet ly to work, however, that the track was nearly half completed before anyone knew anything about it.

WHOLESALE GROCERS.

The Wholesale Grocers association of Birmingham held meeting in the Steiner building yesterday afternoon. Only routine business was transacted and nothing of public interest was done.

A few more facts are needed by the com mittee which is working on the case before anything definite can b. Aoae. The groeers say that they are positive that other cities situated similarly to Birmingham are get ting better rates, and they propose to get the matter corrected if possible.

 veterans will Welcome Them
 Perhaps the prettiest feature of the whole welcome will be the gathering of all the confederate veterans and all the old soldiers of the union army in the city to greet the young heroes who so galantiy volunteered at the call of the reunited country. Camp Hardee and Camp Davis of the United Confederate veterans, ana Camp Thomas of the Grand Army of the Republic have all been ordered to meet at the depot this morning for this purpose.
 And last, but by no means the least, the good women must be congratulated most heartily on the manner in which they have labored to prepare not simply welcome of smiles and kisses, but most substantial welcome in the shape of an eXcellnt home cooked dinner. The committee appointed for the purpose of canvassng the city for contributions kept up their work until the very last, for the special car which will be stationed all the morning until o'clock in the afternoon on Eighteenth street by the postoffice must be packed t0 overflow ing.
 Captain Denere again urges that every family and every store in the city send in a contribution of some kind this morning, and that as early as possible. All those living north and east of the city must ar range to have their baskets sent in. Those living at Woodlawn and Avondale can hand them into the car as it passes this after noon. It will leave the city at o'clock, as scheduled. He also asies that a card bearig the name of the sender be attached to every basket. so that they can be com piled for reference. He once more requests that only old baskets or boxes be sent, as it will be impossible for any of them to be returned to the senders.
