INTEREST GROWS IN AMATEUR RACES Better Prizes Offered for Next
 Thursday Night RIDERS ARE TRAINING HARD Some of the Amateurs Are Working Hard to Lower the Previous
 Records Made at the
 Stadium.
RIDERS ARE TRAINING HARD

The amateur races to be held Thursday night at the stadium will be better and faster than any yet seen here, and it is probable that there will be larger num- Der of entries than in any previous race
 The prizes for Thursday night will be larger, and they will be sufficient to m duce riders from other cities to come to Birmingham and enter the events Thurs day night The interest shown in cycle racing is on an increase, and a num- Der of new riders expects to appear for the first time Thursday night.
 The free for all amateur event should have a score or more of entries, and they should ride faster and better races than on the nights when there were pro- fessional events The amateur meets are held to encourage local riders, and to arouse more interest in cycle races, and the riders of the city seem to appreciate the fact and to take hold of the oppor- tunity
 Yesterday afternoon several riders were on the track training, and they rode sev- eral miles which were faster than any ridden during the races. As these men gradually round into shape, the time of the races will become lower and lower and the races therefore more interest ing. One or two of the heats Thursday night should be ridden in the neighbor- hood of two minutes. which will be five or six seconds faster than any have been ridden to date.
 The stadium Is always open to any one wishing to train, and every afternoon between and 63O o'clock there are sev- eral riders on the track.
 The boys race will probably have a dozen entries Thursday night. and one or two of these are expected to be from out of town. Jack Prince went to Atlanta last night and he will send several riders here for the races Thursday night In turn 1t is expected that several of the Birmingham riders will go to Atlanta for the amateur meet there next week. The programme for Thursday night will be:
 One mile handicap for amateurs open to all. Several heats will be run in th j., and those winning each heat will qualify for the finals.
 Consolation race for those failing to qualify for finals in the handicap race.
 Local motor race between machines owned in Birmingham.
 Race for boys under 16 years of age.

MUCH FREIGHT CARRIED.
Traffic on Chattahoochee River for
 Year Valued at 1o,346, 7ee.

Columbus. Ga. July 31.-(special. .)-Dur- ing the fiscal year just ended Chatta- hoochee river steamers of the Columbus Steamboat association hauled 103,731 tons of freight, valued at $lO.S46 799
 This does not include the freight hauled by two independent steamers, the record of which the government engineer has so far been unable to obtain in detail.
 This is considered a splendid showing for the Chattahoochee, especially as dur ing the latter part of the fiscal year an unprecedented drouth prevailed, and this with the shutting of watergates of new dams north of the city made the river for the period of two or three weeks lower than ever before in the memory of the present generation.

had held any meetings since the con- viction of Sullivan and Murray It had not. Witness further declared that at the time of the strike both he and Stockford had strongly condemned the use of violence.
 At the announcement of recess Mir. Williams repeated his instruction to Talmadge to produce the books and records at the afternoon session, but no intention of so doing was manifested by the defense.
 Contrary to expectation. the defense produced some of the records, MT. Ar vine handing Talmadge a book imme- diately after recess which the witness identified as the treasurer's book.
 Instead of going at once into this, however. Mir. Williams went into the proceedings of the meetings of last July, nothing of importance being de- veloped.

CARRIE NATION COMING.

Remarkable Woman Has Set the
 Vaudeville World in Whirl.
 Carrie Nation. who is coming to Polls next week, explains how people feel re-
 garding her crusade against the liquor
 and cigarette habit:
 Well, at firse some of the people took
 me as a joke, I think, but now I find that the more intelligent and best mind
 ed people take me seriously and are my
 friends
 q have no jewelry. Mo- not even watch, and all the money I am getting is going into the two homes I am con teinplating. I am furnishing home in
 Kansas City, Kan, for the mothers,
 wives and children of drunkards and have paid seven thousand dollars on this home already. Then in Topeka I
 am arranging for home where l in tend to teach young girls how to edu- cate women. These girls are to be edu- Icated to educate other women in the true life for a woman. They are to be missionaries and when they have been taught for while intend to have them go to the towns and cities in Kan sas and talk and work for the abolish ing of the liquor traffic, and also to teach women their true mission in the world.
 Tt is simply an inconsistent thing. pure and simple, that the liquor traffic lis allowed in this country to-day. The law i'll the true meaning of the very word itself should stamp out this curse.
 Blackstone, the authority on law, says: Law should command that which is right and prohibit that which is wrong The liquor traffic is wrong and the law tolerates it and it is curse and anar- chy!
 Tt is transgression of the law and that is sin, for it nuderles all sin. The man or woman who drinks is depraving their morals thereby and arousing ani- maj passions, anrd then all the sin and wickedness in the world starts.

''She is just home from a little children's party, where the refreshments were chicken sandwiches, fruit cake, candied cherries, nuts. coffee. chocolate creams and lob ster salad" said mamma. Doctor. looked perplexed. Anything else?' he asked. Mamma thought moment. "Oh, yes! fruit ices,'' she said. "Ah!, exclaimed the doctor at once.
