Thomas was at his best as master of ceremonies and in a few well chosen remarks in- troduced Hon. Harvie Jordan of Geor- gia President of the Farmers National Alliance.
 Mir. Jordan confined his remarks to agriculture and spoke for more than an hour. He was given the very closest attention throughout. Commissioner Pool could not be present as was ex- pected and Colonel H. Hawkins of HawkinsvilIe made quite an interesting and instructive talk.
 The spread was all that could have been desired. excellently prepared bar becued meats of various kinds being served with loaf bread in the greatest quantities The occasion was graced by the presence of several hundred ladies and the very best order was maintained

 The car was having minor repairs done to its interior in the barn by 0
 negro employe. He moved the car
 from the repair pit, without first exam .

 found himself on the street with the car gradually gaining speed. He shut
 of the current and proceeded to wind
 his brake handle, when he found to his cohsternation that there were no brakes on the wheels. The car was on down grade and moving rapidly. The negro went to use hls reverse, but as he did so the trolley became discon' nected and rendered that useless. Down Madison Avenue at break neck speed the car rushed. The negro pluckily stayed by his car until the curve at the corner of Madison Avenue and N. Lawrence Street was reached.

Captured Small Burglar.

Several times during the past month J. L. Campbelrs room has been ent- cred during the night and money and other valuables have been stolen. The matter has given MT. Campbell no lit- tie trouble as he has been confident that the valuables were in the room when he retired and he was equally as confident that the door was locked and barred on the inside. He was startled this morning to hear some one opening the transom over his door. and he had solved the mystery of how the thief had gained entrance to his room. He pretended to be sleeping and the in- truder, a negro boy IS years old. climb ed over the transom and went for MT i. Campbelrs trousers. After he had taken out several bills and some small change and was making ready to leave the room, MT. Campbell jumped from the bed and caught the intruder. A policeman was called and the youthful burglar sent to the city jail.
 When his case was called in the Mayors Court today. the boy gave his name as Willie Wilson. Mayor Atkins bound him over to the grand jury in a $500 bond. and the negro was returned to jail. being unable to furnish the necessary bond.

 Tuscumbia. Aug Especial )-The presence of an engineering party oper- ating in this vicinity in the interest of the Illinois Central Railroad. has re- vived the rumor that the Illinois Cen tral, Is planning to enter this terri tory.
 The company made a preliminary survey from Jackson. Tenn. to Shef- field and through the mountains of Tuscumbia last spring suspending work rather unexpectedly and the re- newal of operations gives cclor to the belief that the work Is being continued. Much of the right-of-way along the Tennessee river has been secured with in the last several months. and many deeds filed for record in the court house in this county.
 There is no corroborative testimony that the line from Jackson will be completed at an early date. but the general orinion is that everything points to a line from Jackson to Shelf field. and thence through Tuscumbia south through the rich iron and miner al counties. to Rirminxhapa-

Mike Grady Leads the National
League In Batting.
st. Louis Catcher Takes Part In
Thirty-three Games.
HARPER STAR PITCHER
Napoleon Lajoie Leads the
Americans With the Willow.
Sugden Best Catcher and La.
Chance the First Baseman.

New York, July Mike Grady is
now the undisputed leader of the Ma
tional league. Not a single player
who has taken part in even as many
as five games is ahead of Grady, and
the latter has taken part in 33, more
than enough to entitle him to full
honors. Grady's average is .S77, and
the nearest man to him is Steinfeldt,
who has played in but 90 games. The
Cincinnatian has batted at 1855 gait,
and he leads Donlin, his team-mate,
by but a single point. Donlin has
played in 81 games, however. Chance
comes in ahead of Wagner. who has
fallen off in his sticking.
Besides Grady, the Cardinals have
BeckIey and Zearfoss going better
than 900. Beckley has fallen off, and
is now hitting at 1928. Smoot and
Shannon have both dropped below the
800 mark.
Jack Harper continues to lead the
National in pitching. with ten games
won and but one lost. McGinnity has
done as good work as Harper, how
ever. taking everything into consider
alton, as he has pitched Is games and
lost but two Flaherty is next to Nc
Ginnity, and the Chicago discard has
lost but one game and won five.
Brown and Wicker follow in the or
der named, Brown having won eight
games and lost but two. while Wicker
has lost two games out of eight
pitched.
The first pitcher to show for st.
Louis is Nichols, with ten games won
and four lost, and Jack Taylor is next,
with nine games won and six lost.
None of the other Cardinals are as
good as 500 in percentage.
In the American League.
Napoleon Lajoie still leads the
American league in batting, according
to the latest statistics, and is not even
closely pressed by his nearest COM
petitor, Fred Parent, of Boston.
Bradley is third, and Harry Davis
fourth. Twenty men are batting 800
or better. OF these Cleveland has
three, Boston two, the Athletics six,
New York four, St. Louis two, and De-
troit two, Chicago and Washington
being wholly unrepresented. Bradley
has scored the most runs, and Lajoie
made the most hits. The Athletics lead
in team batting. Cleveland second.
The same teams lead in extra base
batting. Harry Davis is the chief long
range slugger and Heidrick the best
base runner, on a percentage basis.
Bradley is the best run getter in the
league. counting on percentage
standard.
Three pitchers still have unblem-
ished fielding records. Sugden leads
the catchers and Lachance the first
basemen. Robinson leads at second
and Greminger at third. Lajoie tops
the shortstops, while Seybold and Bey
head the outfielders. Detroit leads
in team fielding, Chicago second.
