SALOON QUESTION UP TO THE VOTERS
ELECTION AT NORTH BlRMING- HAM TODAY-WHlSkY OPPO- NENTS HOLD MASS MEETING AND SPEECHES ARE MADE.

The election in North Birmingham today will bring out the full voting strength of that city, as the question to be decided is one in which the entire citizenship is deeply interested-saloons or no saloons.
 There will be but one polling place. The booth will be in the Garrett building, cor ner of Seventh avenue and Third street. Voting will begin at o'clock this morn ing and the poll will close at o'clock this afternoon.
 A mass meeting of the saloon opponents was held in Jackson's hall last night, when a number of speakers urged the voters to cast their ballots against sa- looms.
 J. r. Knight presided and introduced the first speaker, the Rev. J. s. Glasgow pastor of the Methodist church. He was followed by the Rev. F. M. Wood, the Rev. J. G. Lowry and Capt. Frank 5. White of Birmingham.
 Dr. A. F. Montague, president of How ard college, was to have delivered ali address, but was unavoidably detained from being present
 Captain White made forceful speech, his line of thought being that morals should not be sacrificed for money. He said that the voting franchise was given to men for high purposes and they should use it with the utmost care and discre- tion. casting their ballots for what was right He said if North Birmingham voted to have saloons the result would be to attract a lawless and gambling ele- ment to that city, and that the revenue derived from the saloons would be piti- full sum to pay for the immortality that would follow.
 About 15O people attended the meeting.

limb was about two inches shorter than the left.
 The operation was very long and was entirely successful. The shorter limb was drawn completely into position and when the little girl came from under the in- fuence of the anaesthetic she was able to lie in, bed and write few words to her sister in Birmingham.
 MT. Rotholtz writes that Dr. Mueller told him after the operation that he was on the point of disseminating it at two different times during Its progress, be- cause of the difficulty, but was persuad- ed each time to proceed by one of his assistant surgeons who was brother I. o. B. B. of MT. Rotholtz.
 MT. Rotholtz and his daughter expect to leave New York for Birmingham next Sunday. The little girl Is at present at Dr. w. H. Carter's infirmary.

FORD'S SCHOOL DEFEATED.
Merchants Capture Base Ball Game
by Score of z to 6.

The game between Ford's boys ano
the Merchants Tuesday afternoon was
a good one. The boys had the game II
their hands once or twice, if they hao
held it, but owing to their desire to
do too much, they lost by the score OF
Z to g.
Berry Evans easily carried off the
honors. His position was short, but
wherever the ball was, there was
Berry. He backed up second and
third in great style, and but for him
his side would have Deen badly
worsted. He and Frank Sheddan at
first played an errorless game. with
SIX or eight put outs to their credit.
Charlie Parker knocked good clear
three Dagger. but was so anxious TO
score home run that b. ran himself
out at the plate. And it was such
bad base running as that, that cost the
boys the game.
Nike Stevens showed up in fine form
for the Merchants. His picKups at
short and his throws TO first were simply
all right, and he knocked the only
home run OF the evening. Stevens
will do for Manager Wilkins to sign.
The battery work on both sides was
a tritie wild and ragged.
Mr.. Petty, a soldier at the
Arsenal, acted as umpire and gave
universal satisfaction His decisions
were intelligent, impartial, prompt,
nd firm.

HIGH HONOR
FOR ''7RO1WOOD.' ;:
Leading Citizens Of Birmingham,
Ala, Establish Fine Driving
Park and Name 1t for Him.
Will be One OF the Famous
Parks of the Country.

A number of leading society anC
business men of Birmingham, Ala
have formed Matinee Club and es
tablished driving park near East
Lake, a suburb OF Birmingham The
name chosen for the park is "Trotwooo
PARK - named in honor of our dlsting-
wood Moore. The name was selected
over quite number of others which
had been submitted to a committee of
the club by several Of the Leading
society women of the city, who had
been requested to suggest names. The
name of "Trotwood - was suggested
by Mrs. l.. r. Brooks of Birmingham.
The name was thought by the club
committee to be particularly desirable
and appropriate, because of the fact
that Mr.. Moore is former ALBANIAN
and is known to the entire world of
horsemen as the most graceful and
authoritative writer on the horse in
the country. Mrs. Brooks was con-
graduated by the club for her happy
thought, and Will receive an inscribed
silver cup as memento of 1t.
The Birmingham Age Herald says
''TrotwOod' park is destined to become
one OF the famous parks of the country.
The mem bership of the Matinee club
is composed of the leading men of the
city.
A half mile track will be used for
the early events of the present season,
but it is likly that mile track will
be inaugurated In July or little later
The club is arranging for the most
extensive and striking series OF run
ming races ever held IN the South, and
next fall will have harness meeting
with purses apgregatlng $40, 000
Mr.. Moore Is justly proud of tibet
high honor that has been paid him by
the leading citizens of the foremost
city In his native state. and The people
OF Columbia will be just as proud and
glad as he is AS stated in the Herald
a few days ago, Mr.. Moore has been
selected to act as one of the judges at
the big Birmingham horse show,
which will be pulled off the latter
part of this month.

PROF. FORC'S HOME BURNED.
Criminal Negligence of City officials
Responsible.

The residence occupied by Prof. J. E.
Ford. on Walker street, was burned
Tuesday afternoon. The house was
valued at about $1,000 or $1,000, and
carried 800 insurance. 1t was owned
by Mrs. Mary Hine and Miss Rosa Bar
nett.
men and some ladies, all the household
furniture was saved except the kitchen
ware and some that was upstairs.
There was absolutely no excuse for
the house being destroyed or even
seriously burned, and the negligence of
the city officials in not enforcing the
regulations in regard to flushing the
water plugs is the reason for the loss of
the house Tuesday.
The fire started on top of the house,
and could have easily been put out after
the fire company arrived but for the
fact that the water plug at the corner
of High and Eighth streets, to which
the firemen attached their hose, was
almost stopped up and threw nothing
but mud. This necessitated a trip back
to the engine house to get more hose
so as to allow connection with the hose
a. the corner OF Walker avenue and
Seventh street. During all that time
the other plug was throwing out a
stream of water so full of mud that it
would not reach the fire, and the
fire was gaining fuller Roadway every
minute. When the other plug was
finally brought into play the house was
too far gone to be saved The fire was
put out but nothing but the
shell was left.
The city has the authority to flush
these water mains whenever they de-
sire. and it is simply criminal negligence
in those in charge of the city govern
ment in not having these mains flushed
often enough to at least insure the citi-
zens OF Columbia that their homes will
not be ;eopardized to fire through neg
ligence.

PROSPEROUS LYNNVlLLF.
Business Of All Kinds Has Improved
Since Saloons Were Abolished.

A special from Lynnville to the
American says:
Just three years ago the charter of
Lynnville WAS surrendered In order to
abolish saloons. Every merchant, NOT
excepting those who opposed putting
out whisKey, now acknowledge that
business OF all kinds has improved
wonderfully, and some who fought for
saloons now say they would strennously
object to having them pack A better
cash business is carried on than ever
before known, and more money has
been profitably invested. Between
twenty ana thirty residences have been
erected and still there Is never vacant
dwelling in town. The school attend
ance has nearly doubled, people moving
in to educate their children where
there are no open saloons. There has
been practically no law breaking of
any consequence and better behavior
in every way, ana despite the fact that
the Jug trade has existed very little
drunkenness Is seen.
