 HAVE STRONG TEAM

 Beat Tuscaloosa.

Mir. Hall, Who Is Superintendent of Alice Furnace and Formerly Played On Vale, Will Give Strength
 to the Squad.

An effort is being made by the manager of the Birmingham eleven to secure Mr. Hall, who is now superintendent of Alice furnace, to play in Fridays game with Tuscaloosa. He was member of Yale's '97 team, one which swept everything be- fore it. and if he will consent to play. Tuscaloosa will have to work doubly hard to win the game
 Brooks, Sewanee's famous old halfbaek, will go with the team and do most of the bunting. Roscoe Bulger is another addition who will materially strengthen it. Given will captain the eleven and play center. The material is good enough Cor any team, and with little practice they should be able to successfully tackle the best elevens in the south. All the candidates are requested to be at West End park at 3:so p. m. for signal prac- tice.
 Reduced rates have been secured and a good crowd of rooters will no doubt go down to Tuscaloosa Friday morning to cheer the boys on in their efforts to down the Varsity

and that we must not Judge by him.
Another statement that was unpleas-
ant to large proportion OF his hear
ers was II tell you you love the negro
according to the square distance-the
farther away he is the better you like
him." He said the people of the South
believe in the equality OF man, pro-
vided he is white, but that they don't
believe the colored man is their equal,
"and you can't make us believe it," he
said. The race problem, he said, is
worse than it was in 81. You ask
what are we going to do about it. |
ask in all seriousness what are you go-
ing to do about it? You won't let us
settle 1t. and you do not know how to-"
That was another wormpill to many.
During the Civil War. Mr. Tillman
said, there was not an instance of a
white woman being outraged by a col.
ored man. There was a bond of love
between master and slave. You sowed
the seeds Of ruin and rape when you
said to the slave you are as good as
the white man, and these seeds have
borne fruit, fruit, fruit. When you tell
us to educate the negro you increase
the difficulty, for just as much as you
increase the competition you ferment
the racial feeling and prejudice" Only
one of those who have commenced TO
argue the matter in the daily papers
take Mr.. Tillmans side, and
all the others try to rip
him to pieces for his temerity

announcement. When he arrived there
was not a delegation of the association
to meet and greet him, and he walked
around the town in the company of
solitary Irish-American Democrat.
There was no member of the associa-
ton sat on the platform at night, and
the same Irish-American Democrat IN
troduced him. Mr.. Tillman did not
kick, however-he got his little $3.50
for his speech, and he lambasted the
Puritans to his hearts content, and
in their own bailiwick at that.

Purused, Using His Revolver.
Columbus, Ga, April 2.-Quite an ex-
citing shooting ARRAY occurred on the
streets Of Columbus this afternoon, and
that no one was injured was remarka-
BILE. The sight of young couple going
down Sixteenth street at break-neck
speed in a buggy, followed by another
buggy, a hundred yards behind, in
which were three persons, one OF
whom was firing ut the vehicle ahead
with pistol, caused hundreds of peo-
pie to gather.
The occupants of the first buggy
were X. w. Hubbard, a young man
who was formerly employed on the
street railway, and Miss Helen Amos,
the 16-year-old daughter of Mr.. James
Amos, we'll known citizen of Wynn
ton. In the rear buggy were Mr.. James
Amos, the father, Mr.. c. f. Brown,
and Miss Irene Brown. Mr.. Amos fired
four shots at the buggy ahead, but none
took effect. One of the bullets came
near striking merchant, burying it,
self in his store just over his head.
The chase came to an end at Four
teenth street, after an exciting run of
several blocks. The police at that
point held the first buggy and arrested
Mr.. Hubbard, Mr.. Amos, Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. w. e. Talbot, a young man who
is a friend of Hubbard's, and Mr.. VIM.
Amos, brother of Miss Amos, who
came running up with shot gun just
after the arrest of Hubbard, but who
was prevented by the police from do
ing harm. 1t was though prudent to
put all five of the party in Jail and up
to IL o'clock no bond had been fixed for
them.
Mr.. Amos had insisted that Hub
bard marry Miss Amos, as result of
an incident yesterday. 1t is stated
that the two young girls, who are
close friends, ran away from their
homes yesterday afternono. The two
young men took stroll with them out
into the country. They claim that they
did not return to the city at the proper
time because the girls threatened sui
eide If left alone in the country, and
at the same time were not willing to
return home. Relatives of Miss Amos
insisted upon marriage, not accepting
this statement. and young Hubbard
was proceeding to the city in the adj
vance buggy with MIR. Amos behind,
when the young man, who objected to
marriage, claiming that he was inno-
cent of misdoing, tried to make his es-
cape, resulting in the chase through
the city streets.

day with Gen. Fitzhugh Lee in the

ample which the Jefferson Memorial
Road will furnish to those it is de-
sirable to convince of the value of pub
lie highways and said:
I'VE propose to connect Monticello
with the University of Virginia by a
grand avenue which not only will re-
call to those who pass over it the life
and character of a most eminent
American statesman, but also will adj
vance the great movement for good
roads in the United States by serving
as an object lesson in road construc-
ton in the Middle Atlantic and South
ern states"

Our train left Chicago on April 20
last year 1t visited six Southern states,

ted over $4,000 people, and constructed
thirty-four miles of road. Organiza-
tons were formed at each place AS
a result of that most all of the states
visited are organizing road offices and
preparing to spend thousands of dol
lars upon internal improvements of
highways. No industrial crusade ever
inaugurated in this country has at
tracted such universal interest.
Committees were appointed, includ-
ing the following:

in which it was posted. was put on
the bulletin board in every mill in the
Augusta district to-day:
owing to the demand made on the
John p. King Manufacturing Company

its operatives would refuse to work
after Saturday, April 5, and said de-
mand having been refused, notice is
hereby given to the employees of this
company that should such a strike be

Graniteville. Aiken, Warrenville, Vau-
cluse and Langley will be closed
