MAKING THE FLOATS.
Some Beautiful Specimens for the Com
ing Mardi Gras.

.sWalk right In there's no danger of death
In here" was said to the reporter as he
walked through the door of the Mardi
Gras float building, almost into the jaws
of great deaths head, which yawned
hideously at the awe-struck stranger.
J. M. Evans was the speaker on the in
side who invited the reporter in and made
him welcome. Mr.. Evans is the float
maker-in-chief to his royal majesty, Rex
Vulcan w., and he took great pleasure
in exhibiting the mysteries Of his Internal
workshop.
The interior of the great room presented
q panorama of wonderland. Over in
corner was a great bear poised as IL just
ready to jump down on the helpless mortal
looking up at him. In the middle of the
hall there lowered up above the surround
ing objects a beautiful vine-clad castle.
1t Is a beautiful piece Of work and looked
like a piece of most effective stage scenery.
There are other interesting objects which
might be described by the score, but Pres
ident Lesser objects to the secrets of the
royal workshop being given away, SO 1t
is impossible TO tell of the numerous floats
which are now in the process OF construc-
ton, a number of them having already
been entirely completed. The description
and identity of these floats Is to be kept
entirely secret until the public sees them

WHO WEIGHS FIVE HUNDRED
Joe Crimes Created a Sensation Riding
Through Birmingham Streets >
He Claims to be the Heaviest
Bicyclist on Earth.

Something of a sensation was created on
the streets yesterday at the sight of a mon
ster bicyclist riding down the street on his
wheel. The man was perfect elephant in
size, and he had large crowd of small
boys running after him wherever he went.
The numerous Christmas shoppers on the
streets stopped and gazed in wonder at the
unusual sight.
1t was simply Joe w. Grimes, the travel
ing agent for the Cleveland bicycle, taking
a spin around the city to see what Birmng-
ham looked like. He is the guest of Rob-
ert Baugh while in the city and yesterday
when seen lin the Birmingham Arms Com
pany he talked very readily about himself.
Mr. Grimes must be seen to be appre-
ciated. He is twenty-ninc years old, weighs
SGT pounds, Is six feet four and one-half
inches tall, measures sixty-three inches
around his chest, sixty-four inches at the
waist, has forty-six inch thigh, a twenty
nine inch calf and a twenty-five inch BIZ
cept muscle.
IT can dress and undreSs myself as easily
as you can, and I'll bet any amount of mon
ey you want that can kick as high as my
head am still unmarried, though open for
engagement" said Mr.. Grimes as he closed
the Inscription of himself.
This big bicyclist rides a wheel which is
only a little heavier than the average
wheel. When seated, Mr.. Grimes has to use
two chairs, and these he terms his "Cristy
saddle" He says his best record is eighty
four miles in ten hours, which he once made
over a smooth road He doesn't like the
rough streets of Birmingham; says they
jolt him to death. Mr.. Grimes will be in
Birmingham until after Christmas.

"A" TEAM WON.
Opponents Were Held Back by Many
Mishaps.

The second basket ball game of the sea-
son was played last night at the Athletic
club between A and teams, and resulted
in victory for A by a score of IA to 6. The
A team men won by their superior training
and team work, which told very effectively
in the second half. C's team was much tho
heavier of the two. but weight doesn't al
ways count in basket ball.
The teams lined up as follows:
A. Position. c.
Huey center Jones (capt)
Ferguson (capt.) r. forward Morris
Crawford l. forward Redd
Underwood r. guard Donelson
Biddle !. guard Wilcox & Kimball
C team was very badly handicapped last
night in that McDonough and Cowan, two
of their best players were unable to play.
and on account of an accident to Wilcox's
knee In the first half, which compelled him
to retire from the game. He was replaced
by Kimball who played very creditably.
Had it not been for C's mshap it is possible
that the score might have been different;
certainly not so uneven as it was AL
though Captain Jones was himself sick, he
made two field goals, points, and played
for C, which were their only points.
For A, Ferguson made three field goals
and two goals from fouls, in all points.
Crawford made two field goals, points,
and Underwood one field goal, 2 points. AS
forwards would not have been so success
full, however. had it not been for the excel
lent work of the guards and center in keep
ing the ball away from their opponents
goal and greatly assisting their own for
wards.
Between the two halves of the game Ed
Burger, local professional contortionist,
have a splendid exhibition.
After the game was over number of the
members of the club enjoyed dance in
the gymnasium. There were a large num-
Der of basket ball girls in attendance,
and the affair was a delightful one.

THE COYOTE CHORUS.

The Progressive Farmer, the Union
Republican, Hickory Press, and the rest
of the coyote press, continue to howl
that Jim Young did not inspect the
white Blind Institution. The Farmer
garblcd an interview with Mr.. Ray, the
rest Of the coyotes print that, together
with Chairman Holton's premature
encyclical, and then yelp; but of the
official report showing that Jim Young
did inspect the White Institution, not%l
word.
The coyotes are wasting breath The
facts can not be evoided nor concealed.
The habit Of never telling the truth. SO
long as ingenuity and silence can avoid
it, has become chronic with the coyotes,
but the white people of North Caro-
Ina shall know for all that.
Chairman Holton rushed into print
and biliingsgate, declaring that the sug-
gestion that Jim Young had inspected
the white institution was slanderous.
His henchmen everywhere followed
suit The only result is that they have
pilloried themselves as willful prevari-
Gators.
Hysteria, wind and gutter adjectiyes
are not convincing anybody in this cam
paign. The record speaks. Facts are
insistent. HoltOn and the coyotes are
powerless to falsify the one or to contra
dict the other. Hence the rage and the
bowling.
