Challenge Unanswered.

Some time ago the Pioneer
challenged any republican who
intends to support John A. John
son for governor, if such there
be, to offer any reason, drawn
from Mr.. Johnson's six years
official service in Minnesota, why
a republican vote should be cast
for the democratic nominee. The
challenge remains unanswered.
Weeks ago Mr.. Dunn challeng-
ed Mr.. Johnson to name one
thing which he (Mr. Johnson) had
done in Minnesota which might
entitle him to be elected COVER
nor-one public service which
Mr.. johnson had rendered the
state. The challenged remains
unanswered.
The republican party offers a
candidate for governor who has
rendered the state signal SER
vices according to the testimony
of John Lind, John A. Johnson
and other distinguished men of
all political parties. The demo
cratic party offers a man who has
never performed any public SER
vice whatever, but who on the
contrary, has opposed every
great policy which Minnesota
has inaugurated.
The contrast is a striking one
to say the least.

SERIES OF WINTER MATCHES
Basketball Game Between Maroons
And Davenport High
School.

PHYSICAL Director z. G. Earl of the
Y NJ c. A. has arranged for a hand
ball tournament at the gymnasium, be-
ginning Dec. II. The number of en-
tries will determine whether the tour
nament is a round robin or a progress
sive contest. The game is one of the
most popular in the local association
gymnasium, and il is expected that the
entries will be sufficient in number to en-
able Mr.. Earl to make the tournament
A progressive one, where the winners
of each set play the winners of the
other sets. In the round robin tour
nament each player plays every other
player entered in the tournament.
Handba!l has been favorte in the
local gymnasium for several years,
and for an association OF this size
il is remarkable to have two handball
courts. as there are in the gymnasium
here. The game is the prime favorite
with the business men, and ranks sec
ond to basketball among the younger
members.
To Have Regulation Balls.
The game has never been played in
Rock Island with the regulation BAH,
the Tennis ball being substituted IN
both the Y. NJ. c. A. and the h!Sh
school gymnasiums. Mr.. Earl mas
sent for supply of the regulation
balls. and it is expected that greater
satisfaction will result There are
two kinds of balls, the regulation hard
ball and the regulation soft bail. Inc
hard hail has never been favored here,
and after one or two trials the tennis
ball became the only one used on
local courts.

Mr. Brown has posted programs for
the first meetings of the Minerva and
Bellies Lettres literary societies.
These societies were organized last
winter. but they proved poorly pat
Ionized and the members of the
school expected they would be dis
continued this year. Many of the
scholars wish. for a revival of the
clubs that were organized two years
ago. These clubs included organiza-
tons pertaining TO parliamentary law,
current history. literature, natural sci
ence and other such topics. Each pu-
pill was free to join the club in whose
work he was most interested, and they
thus held the interest of the members
and were a source of profit. The
revival OF these clubs would meet pop

TO SECURE TRIAL.
Habeas Corpus Instituted for Today
 By Willard M. Gregory.

Cullman, October 5.--(SpeciaL) )-Attor- ney r. E. St. John, representing Willard M. Gregory for murder In this county, will institute habeas corpus proceedings today or tomorrow for the purpose of securing bail for the defendant. Grego- ry's case has become famous on account of It's having gone Nrough the county courts several times and to the supreme court of Alabama twice on as many points of law. Previous to his last trial, which was at the August term of the Cullman county circuit court, term au- thorized by the defunct Lusk law, Greg ory was out of custody on bond on a verdict of murder in the second degree awaiting a new trial granted by the su- preme court. At the aforesaid August term he was tried and found guilty of murder in the second degree and sen- fenced to ten years In the penitentiary. There was an appeal taken, and Gregory since the term of court trying him last was illegal and the trial of no effect, his attorneys claim that he should be re- leased on his previous bond And so 1t is the troubles of the illegal Lusk act go merrily on.
 Hon. Phares Coleman of Montgomery and Hon. A A. Griffith of Cullman will make speeches at Garden City and Stouts Mountain in this county on next Saturday, October 8.
