BIG ROW IN THE C. 0. P.
DIVISION OF THE sPoILc SAID
 TO BE THE CAUSE
Ex-Congressman W. F. Aldrich No Longer Politically Friendly to State YChairman Vaughan
 and Major c. J. Allison.

Birmingham, Sept. 5.-(Special.)- Is reported that row has occurred among the leaders of the Republican Party of this State and that the distribution of Federal patronage is the chief cause thereof A large number of Republican leaders were in Birmingham yesterday and last night and several of them re- mained over today. It is denied that there was anything like formal con ference relative to the ratification or the new Constitution or on any other sub ject, but it leaked out that former Con gressman w. F. Aldrich is now at outs with Chairman William Vaughan ana Major Charles J. Allison. These three have been regarded as the advisors Of the administration in Alabama relative to patronage distribution. It Is said that during a conference between them yes terday, Mir. Aldrich became very angry at certain recommendations for appoint ments which MT. Vaughan and Major AL lison had determined to make. and ieft the room. Before doing so 1t Is stated that Mir. Aldrich used some very vigor- ous language and denounced the action of his former colleagues. Just what the case under consideration was has not been learned but 1t is intimated that the rupture oc :urred over the filling of an office of very considerable importance in this State. None of the persons con cerned would discuss the matter. bu. IL Is stated that some sensational disclos- ures relative to the insi1s workings of Republicans in Alabama may be made, and the outcome may be a new align ment among the prominent party men.

HIGHLAND TEAM.

Total strokes of Woodsdale 617; to-
tai of Highland team 6S4; difference in
favor of former CT strokes.
The features of the play were the
clock-like steadiness and low score OF
Mr.. J. w. Ewing, and the low score OF
Messrs. Jesse Bloch and of
julius Pollock, Jr. These two
lads are in their 18th and 18th years re-

players if they keep up their practice.
Mr.. II. II. Pollock made the bes: e'ngle
round, (29), which is only three strokes
more than Colonel Bogey, or par golf.
The heavy rain preceding the play
made the greens heavy and spongy
and to some extent prevented very low
scores, a condition which should be con-
sidered in sizing up the teams scores.
Altogether it was a fine match and a
great day locally for golf, to which the
lady members materially aided.
