 1t was said in the committee that in Beat s Captain B. H, Screws had no opposition and in Beat there has been no opposition to James P. Armstrong. Later in the day 1t was recalled that in Beat 5 John W. Watts received one vote in the April primary, fact which would make him the second candidate.
 The names of the additional candl- dates will be filed Tuesday by the city members of the committee.
 Before the committee adjourned Chairman Arlington distributed among them blank subscription lists for the National Democratic campaign fund. He asked that they set subscriptions in their beats and all members promised to do so.
 John c. Carter said that he under stood that there was surplus In the committee's treasury and he moved that s75 be donated by the committee to the National Campaign Committee and the motion was unanimously adopted.

beats where there had previously been two. Up to the April primary there had been no attack on this law and the Democrats nominated only one candi- date in each beat for Justice of the Peace. Later there came the decision of the Supreme Court in the Birming- ham Consolidated Court matter. The decision declared the Birmingham act unconstitutional It was declared, by Montgomery lawyers, that the Mont gomery act was similar and was just as weak as the Birmingham act.
 Justices Fuller and Stokes who had been unsuccessful candidates in the April primary petitioned Probate Judge !. B. Gaston to have their names placed upon the official ballot as Dem ocratic candidates for Justices of the Peace in Beats 2 and 3. This petition was refused.
 Messrs. Fuller and Stokes then brought suit in the Circuit Court be- fore Judge T. Scott Sayre to have a mandamus issue to compel the Pro- bate Judge to have their names placed upon the ballot. Judge Sayre sus- tained their contention that the act in question was unconstitutional and granted the mandamus asked for.
 The Committee was a little loath to have anything to do with the matter. They preferred that there should be only one name printed as a Democratic candidate for Justice of the Peace. but Probate Judge Gaston in a brief state ment, made in response to a request. stated that he had been directed by Judge Sayre to have printed on the ticket above the names of the candi- dates for Justices of the Peace, the words Vote for Two" In view of

JUSTICES OF PEACE
COUNTY DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE

Mem Who Ran Second in Primary WiD Get on Ballot as Democrats Owing to Court De-
 ctsfOn.

The Democratic voters of the six city beats of Montgomery will have an opportunity of voting for two can didates for justices of the peace in each of the city beats in the November election. In addition to the single nominee selected in the April primary the electors may vote for the man who ran second to the nominee in the pri- mary as a Democratic nominee. By the action of the County Democratic Executive Committee yesterday they were made Democratic nominees
 This means that Justice W. c. Full Ter and Justice W. s. Stokes were successful in their fight before the County Committee. Their names will be placed upon the ticket and they will be elected in November.
 It was a knotty question which the County Committee was called upon to solve. A special meeting of the Com mittee to deal with this question was two hours long yesterday and the full two hours was taken up with the dis cussion of this vexed question.
 During the last Legislature bill, of which Senator B. H. Screws was the author. was passed providing for only one Justice of the Peace in the city

does not agree with Russell Sage in his theory that vacation Is unneces- sary. according to the New York Times. A man with Q wooden les and wearing a soldiers uniform stood for a long time in Park Row selling guide books and maps of Greater New York to strangers from out of town. He gained some celebrity because of the efforts of a policeman new to the beat to oust him from his stand.
 Sure you're no soldier; you're on- ly fake" declared the guardian of the peace.

 The bystanders at once took the side of the veteran who could show his papers, and the policeman ceased to modest him. He soon disposed of all his stock In trade to the sympa- thizing crowd. and the following day the hotly contested spot was occupied by a man in citizens clothes.

, cars of short sales. Who else would be so generous but Earl Boyett. He Is buying more cotton than all the business firms of Opp combined. On last Wednesday he bought fifty bales from the wagons, paying as high as 10.15 for 1t. He stands high in the or- der of Masonry. and although he Is not a member of any church, yet the vaults of his charity stands ajar and unboited even. and suffering humanity are never turned away empty.
 As Dewey sent his mighty projectiles in search of disobedient Spaniards and sunk the floating shiploads of cruelty and missiles of death. so Earl Boyett wields the sceptre of honest weights and measures, first class goods, quick sales and small profits into the un- conscious hearts of extortioners and selfish competitors. and sinks them to the bottom of oblivion, and puts them out Of business.
 MT. Boyett has some enemies. like all hustling men will have, but 1t Is more due to fit of jealous rage in business than a personal grievance, and their writhing efforts to lock his wheels of progress only serve as e stimulant to make him launch out into deeper wa ters of the great ocean of the commer- cial world and he only laughs at their folly.
 A casual peep into his place of bus mess and to see the crowded aisles be- tween his counters and the hustiing. busy clerks who are polite, courteous. and as clever and accommodating set of salesmcn and salesladies as I ever saw behind the counter, and the heav- fly laden wagons conveying the pur- chased articles to glad wives and happy children one can see who is doing the volume of business in the little city of Opp.
 When Earl Boyett is away from town the farmers feel his absence in a de- cline in the price of their products and especially cotton, which is the most im- portant article of commodity at this season of the year.
 A number of farmers have been heard to say that If Earl Boyett were not in OIso they would haul their cotton to some other market" and to see them coming in with their samples of cotton like the busy bees with their little morsei of sweets. tells the tale of woe which seals the destiny of his neighbor and competitor in business.
 MT. Boyett Is in the bloom of man hood, being about 30 years old, and a few years ago he married Miss Sybil, daughter of MT. and Mrs. R. Tillis, and it is a happy union.
 To exceed his father-in-law in wealth seems to be the pinnacle of his ambi- ton, but. Mir. Boyett, you will have to ascend a few more rounds in the lad der.
 May your efforts be crowned with success, and happiness attend you and yours. 70. BY

EARL BOYETT, COVINGTON
 COUNTS MFR CHANT PRINCE
Rose in Ten Years From PlOwbOy to a Man of Fortune Conducts Big Store at Opp and is Frined to the
 Farmers.

The boy who plowed an OK ten years ago is now the prince of merchants in Opp and all Covington County.
 In 1894 MT. I. E. Boyett, whe is now the leading merchant of Covington County. and the peer of all competit- ors in the little city. Opp. was blowing an OK, together with his two brothere. for the care and support of his parents who were then very poor.
 In lSs5s he mortgaged the crop to Henderson & Co.,. of Andalusia. for sup plies. He sold the crop of cotton for { Ia cents per pound. and after the mortgage was settled he had $21.oo left.
 Mir. Boyett the same year went to Andalusia and worked as Deputy Tax Collector for Mir. W. A. Woodham. who was at that time Tax Collector. of Cov- 3ngton County.
 In the fall of that year he worked at . saw mill tripping slabs at 75 cents per day. until the merit of his labor increased his wages to $2.5o per day.
 He bought out the mill in July, 1897. paying $130.00 cash and the remainder on miscellaneous. Tn October he sold the plant and had s1.ooo left over ex- penses. Of that amount he loaned Mir. J. D. Henderson ssoo.o0. He worked for Henderson & Go. at a salary to suit the critical times, saving a small pit tancs of his wages, and in the fall of 1900 he became . member of the firm Of "Boyett Brothers & Rodgers" who did 6 fourishing business in Andalusia.
 In 1901 he came to Opp while the It, tie town was in its swaddling clothes. and did a business the volume of which was about s50.o00.
 Yv AIA n<A <rs business and an untiring ambition to lead, and unswerving efforts to expand in business, he increased the volume of his business to $15o.000. and in 1903 he held his own. annexing a branch house in Andaipsia, which combination will reach, if not exceed, $f75,000 in 1904. His actual worth is now near $75.o00.
 As Abraham Lincoln pounded the timber into rails, so Earl Boyett plowed the soil while pulling the bell cord over "Old Bully's" wolfy back.
 As Daniel Webster searched for knowledge over the dim rays of a pine knot fire. so did Earl Boyett pierce the dark. mystic future, by uneviling it's hidden treasures of wealth while burn ing midnight oil.
 As Moses led the poor, starving, downtrodden children of Israel out from under Egyptian bondage. and gave them pure water from the rocks by the smite of his rod, so has Mir. Boyett smote the rock of high prices on mercantile values. and mercy, and the farmers are the beneficiaries of his wisdom. He is the farmers friend, today he is giving them 10 cents a pound fer cotton when it is only worth 9 5-S in New York, giv- ing the farmers the benefit of several

Weary Willies and Heboes Said to be Dls-
 appearing. The Times of India.
 The beggar nuisance is very common one in India, and the endeavors of the po' lice in the large cities to put 1t down have met with only a limited measure of suc- cess. This is. no doubt. due to the fac. that Indian opinion is remarkably tolerant toward sturdy beggars. especially if they wear the gulse of religion. But there is reason to believe that a wholesome change is coming over the public sentiment in this. as in so many other matters There were about five millions of beggars in the country at the time of the last census, ani nearly one-fifth of the number was chased as re- NRious mendicants. The number large as t is represents & decrease of about per cent from that at the previous census, and the decline has been attributed In part to the comparatively heavy mortality among them during the famine years. But. says the report, "it is also partly attributable to the spread of education and the consequent weaker hold which the so-called ascetics have on the imagination of the people, 1t being much less easy than 1t was formerly for members of the various begging com munities to unloose the purse-strings of the people.
 There is. happily. reason to believe that the changed feeling among the educated classes is Altering down to the lower levels This evil ts not confined to any one par tfcular community or religion. It is ram pant among the Mahometans as among the Hindoos. The "Asar Jadid." an ably con ducted vernacular paper. published in Upper India, dealing with questions of social re- form among the Mahometans. has been forcibly calling the attention of it's core ligionlsts to the ecsssity Of a reform fin their notions of charity.

Eight years ago a young man of twenty
four excelled the great DIR. w. E. Truax,
of Breckenridge. Mimi, in a checker tourn-
ament held in Anoka. To-day the same
man, with the added years. is the editor
and the proprietor of the greatest checker
magazine in the United State-The Guide
Post.
George A. Pierce was born in Anoka,
Mimi, Dec. Z, ISL. AS a boy he was fond
of checkers. and in early youth improved
every occasion for playing with experts,
though he did not properly begin a scien-
tific study of the game until he was twenty
years old. His cross-board scores nave not
been phenomenal, for the reason that he has
never had time TO devote himself solely TO
the game. and his opportunities for coach
ing. previous to his matches, were limited.
Nevertheless his record has been creditable
in spite of his several defeats. And even
now he Is probably the leading exponent
of Western checkers.
His splendid ability shows best in his
latest editorial ventures. AS an analyst
he Is superior to any of the Western
students of the school. He has devoted
much time to this particular branch of
work. and is unquestionably a far greater
checker author and editor than a cross

PHILLIPS Il

If William G.. Phillips proves as good a
general on the baseball field the coming
summer as he has a diplomat this spring the
American Association Standing will find
Indianapolis on top. A couple of weeks
ago the roster of signed players was any
thing but encouraging, but Phillips set
about to corral the men, either by using
a systematic course of jollying or main
tanning a silence that must nave been ag-
gravating to some of the players. Nc mat
ter what course he pursued he succeeded in
lining up nearly all of the men and with
the exception of Newlin, Hogriever and
Woodruff all the old men and the new ones
that are desired have sent their signed
contract to him. Newlin is holding out for
more pin money, while Hogriever is follow
ing his usual idea of waiting for warm
weather before he permits his writing arm
TO thaw out sufficiently TO place his sigma
ture to a contract. As to Woodruff he is
still at Cincinnati cherishing a hope that
he may become a Red, but it seems as if
his chances are very slim. President
Ruschaupt gave Woodruff a chance to sign
with Cincinnati, but President Hermann
does not think very well of the idea and
has failed to remit to the indianapolis club
for the release OF Woodruff. 1t is now UP
TO Woodruff TO place his name to an In
dianapolis contract and report here for duty
on scheduled time. Woodruff can be used
here as a substitute catcher or in or out
fielder, as he is a good utility man, but
should he return to Indianapolis it is to
be hoped that he will not be peevish be-
cause he did not have his desire TO become
a redleg fulfilled.

Ban Johnson must have WINGED just j trife
last week when he read President Pulliam's
statement 10 the effect that he talked and
acted more like a baby than a grown-up.
Johnson has been browbeating baseball
men so long that he has led himself
10 believe that no one would have the
nerve 10 come out with such a bold state
ment as is credited to Pulliam. The Ma
tiOnaI League does not invite a baseball
war, as such things are costly. but the
National men are growing tired of John
sons tactics and they have called him in
no uncertain language, Johnson surely
acted like a baby when he fused because
the New York Nationals will open the
season at Brooklyn in opposition to the
New York Americans. who will open in
New York. 1t was impossible to prevent
nonconfiicting dates and the New York Ma
tional club had to have its full quota OF
games at home. Johnson showed that he
fears the drawing powers of the Giants,
as most of the baseball fans in New York
will journey across the river to see the
Giants play with Brooklyn on the opening
day. Last season New York ball fans
went TO the American League park and
treated the Highlanders as a bunch of
JOheTS ana would ask the players why
they did not go over to the polo grounds
and learn how TO play the game. With
the Giants playing good ball again this
season there is no reason why they will
not attract the people as they did last sea-
son. Johnson is anxious TO build up inter
est in the American League i'm New York,
but the New York people do not seem to
be going wild over his league. Johnson
made the rash statement that i'm case he
and Mr.. Hermann could not agree regard
ing the conflicting dates for the opening
day he would consider himself absolved
from any further obligation 10 the Ma
tional League. President PuIliam an
sWered johnson by saying that Mr.. Herr
mann did not have the power TO change
the National League schedule and that il
Mr.. Johnson wishes to violate any sec
ton of the agreement the National will
know just where he stands and can act
accordingly. 1t is getting too near to
the playing season TO begin war talk ana
the sooner Johnson realizes that the Ma
tiOnal is not to be bluffed the better off
he will be.

BIG UNIVERSITIES
TO DROP BASKETBALL
illustrated Snorting News.

- NA@AN 1N1N1
The rapid increase in the catalogue of
sports organized for college rivalry seems
TO have been checked by the decision
reached by Yale and Harvard to drop bask-
etbali after the present season. The reasons
given are interesting as showing the at
titude OF these institutions toward the
minor sports" Harvard takes the ground
that there are too many of these intercol-
legiate teams, the list including rowing,
baseball, track events, indoor gymnastics,
tennis, hockey, golr. lacrosse, basketball.
fencing and shooting, not to mention chess
and debating. 1t is claimed that these teams
seriously overlap each other I'm their play
ing season. some of them diverting athletes
whose services would be more efficient else
where, and that so few of them can pay
their own way in gate receipts that their
multiplicity has become a serious drain on
the athletic treasury. Basketball has en-
Joyed such a national popularity that its
decline at Yale and Harvard seems surpris-
ing. on cause of this decision, however,
is that organization and specialization have
been carried to excess. No sooner were
students keenly interested In the game than
il became an intercollegiate institution.
This meant a training table, coaches, heavy
expense. Trying for the team" then meant
the exclusion of many young men who liked
to play the game for the fun OF IL. The
standards were 200 exacting and the
amount of time demanded for practice too
much for the average student. Nor did he
wish 10 take up the training with the
chance OF being relocated 10 the scrubs"
