HARTSELLE
Judge Richardson Made Telling Speech
 An Entertainment

Hartselle, October 2.-(special) )-Hon. William Richardson, Democratic nominee for Congress for this district, addressed a large audience of the voters of Morgan County at the city hall today. Many ladies were also present.
 His speech was a splendid and eloquent presentation of the great issues Of the campaign His powerful comparison of Bryan's speech of acceptance with Presl- dent McKinleys letter of acceptance and Governor Roosevelts speech at Louisville, Ky, was greeted with loud and long ap' plause. He presented in strong manner President McKinley's endorsement of the permanent increase of the army. His views on expansion were the views of an able and progressive Democrat. He said the Re- publcans were hiding behind business and commercial expansion to conceal their violation of the letter and spirit of the Constitution in an improper control of our newly acquired possessions" "We want an expansion, said he, "of our commercial interests-our buSiness-that means that a crop of cotton of twenty million bales at 10 cents a pound will not be over produc- tion, and we expect to accomplish this in a legitimate, peaceful way, without con- tracting our Constitution"
 The speech had splendid effect in arous- ing he people. Judge Richardson has made a splendid campaign of education in this district, and his work will tell in large vote on the day of the election, and aid in saving our representation in Congress.
 The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of this place gave entertainment at the college auditorium last evening, con sisting principally in contest for Demor- est medal. Six young ladies were the con- testants, and all acquitted themselves we'll Miss Matte Lindsay, however, was the successful one. In additoin to this con- test several delightful musical numbers were given Miss Beatrice Shipp, although not a contestant for the medal, highly en- tertained the audience with a comic reci- tation. A beautiful Delsarte pantomine was prominent feature in the programme and reflected much credit upon Miss Ora per.
 Mrs. Parks of Decatur was present and addressed the audience in the cause of the Union Quite a neat sum was real lzed by the ladies, and all present voted 1t most enjoyable affair."

Daily Budget from the Beautiful City
 ot Oaks

Tuscaloosa, October 2.-(Special) )-The first football game of the season was played on the University campus here yesterday afternoon between the Universi- ty of Alabama eleven and the team from Taylor School, Birmingham. An interest ing game was played and although the boys from Birmingham were defeated by a score of 23 to 0, they put up a very good game indeed, considering they are only a preparatory school team and their oppo- nents a full fledged university eleven. The work of the University team showed them to be in good condition, and they expect to do some hard training before the time for their schedule of games to begin. The game this afternoon was remarkable for the friendly spirit that prevailed between the two teams, and the game passed off very pleasantly.
