BOUGHT BY ELLIOTT.
Gadsdeu Man Has Purchased Annis-
 ton Gar Plant.

ton CaT EIAuEs
 Anniston, Jan. 13.-(Special. )--Captain James M. Elliott, of Gadsdsn.. has pur. chased the Annlston plant ~she South. ern Car and Foundry Company. This information is from a thoroughly relia- ble source. Whether the plant continue to be operated by the receivers of the defunct company or some one else re- mains to be seen. Under the lease from the Illinois Car and Equipment Com. pany, the receivers have been paying si6,Ooe annually, but Captain EiIiott wants $a2.oQ0 annually. The receivers have not evineed 8 desire to take the plant under the increased rent. If the receivers do not take the plant, Captain Elliott will probably operate tt himself or lease 1t ts men who will operate it to it's fullest ca pacity.
 The purchase of the plant by Captain Elliott is quite gratifying to Anniston- tans as it ipsuFes It's continued operation. Captain Elliott for number of years successfully operated the plant, making it one Of the most important factoEs in the industrial circles of the Model City. The local plant has always bean the property of the Illinois Car and Equipment Com pany, the Southern Car and Foundry Company having failed to pay the pur- chase price, the property rsverting back to it's original owners. The receivers Ieas- ed the property until Jan. l, 1904 In the mean time Captain Elliott secured an op- tion on 1t aud shortly before January l, purchased 1t.
 Captain Elliott came over in person a few days ago. and served notice on the manager here to vacate. The manager was also notified by telegram from the H. llnois Car and Equipment Company of the purchase Of the plant by Captain El- liott.

Miss Julia M. Ecu, ovsrworked and Nervous, Tells of Her Remark
 able Cure by Vinol.

How many women right here in Mont- gomery are in her condition dragging out a weary existence. They are not sick enough to lie in bed, but they are over worked, tired out, run down. thin, ner- vous and miserable. Such. women will be interested in Mss Beu's letter.
 Miss Beu writes: "'I was nervous and weak, having constant headaches, and that general worn-out, overworked, tired all-the-time feeling. Vinol was TecoTn- mended to me as a wonderful cod liver oil restorative for weak, tired women. 1 tried it and 1t has made an entirely dif- ferent person of me. I am well and strong, and can do my work with ease and without fatigue. It gives me great pleasure to recommend Vinol to over worked, tired, nervous women, as I be- lieve it is without an equal in It's wonder. ful restorative powers.'

II REPORTS from Provo are true.

Tor the last time. II he RECEIVERS from
the accident of Wednesday night he
VIII be MANNED for the balance of his
days, Standing on the threshold Of
life. with the world opening before him.
he has been transformed in a breath
from q Justly vigorous youth into a
cripple. Nelson knew the desperate
risk he ran when he began looping the
loop. He knew the slightest deviation
Of his wheel from its course might Kill
or MAIN him. But he went on.
Why? Because human nature is
such that men viii crowd to any per-
Torrance involving the possibility of a
sudden end for the performer. They
wiz give more to see a man place him
self i'm the jaws of death than for any
other form of entertainment Nelson is
not to blame. It was his way Of earn
ing a more than comfortable living. If
he had not been able TO earn money by
his performance ne would never have
attempted it, And to earn money i'm
such a way il is necessary to induce
people to pay admission fees TO see it.
The public IS to blame. The law
steps in to prevent men from lighting
with bare fists. or even with skim
tight gloves. But there is less danger
of death to the participant in a bare
fist fight, conducted under the ordinary
rules of she prize ring, than i'm loop
ing the loop. Yet the law permits a
man 10 loop the loop. Last summer
at the salt Palace a novice was per-
mitted 10 attempt the feat. He escaped,
as by a miracle. with his life. Hun
dreds of people went down to see him

than half of them fully expected the

4 n CHICAGO TODAY the police are
i going TO make an effort to prevent
any gambling on the horse races at
Washington park, and the town is
wildly excited over TT. 1t is not against
tie Illinois law to race horses. but it is
against the law to bet on horse races.
There are those who insist that the So
called sport OF kings" cannot survive
if the betting feature is eliminated.
OtEers say the sport is so ennobling,
SO glorious, SO altogether and entirely
great that it win survive whether any
gambling is permitted or not.
We are inclined TO agree to a certain
extent with both parties TO the argu-
ment Horse racing is certainly great
sport. When it is honestly conducted,
and on the great tracks If is more often
honest than dishonest. there are few
finer things. To see a field Of thor
Ough-bred animals come racing into
the home stretch, every nerve strained.
every muscle taut. cannot fail to bring
a thrill to the most jaded senses. And
the pure air that the race-goers breathe
is worth something. Tt is worth some
thing to set away, for an afternoon,
from the store, the office, the work
shop.
But sixty men out of 100, more's the
pity. do not go to see horse races just
for the fun of seeing tLem- They like
the sport, true, but they like also the
thought of winning money. They do
not get the same pleasurable excite
ment out of "a race when they have
nothing at stake that they do when
they have wagered something. We
think it is safe TO say that If betting
on the races were absolutely prohibited
and IL the race oers knew in advance
that it would be. the attendance would
De cut down to a small fraction Of what
it now is.
Even when the attendance is very
heavy the owners Of race tracks rarely
take in enough from admission and
race entrance fees to pay the enormous
expense Of conducting a race meeting.
Thousands Of dollars are hung up in
purses, and thousands more 90 to the
little army of necessary employees. The
deficit is made up by the bOokmakers.
The average charge for operating
betting stand is 500 per day. At the
Washington park track there are or
dinarily about 100 bookmakers. 1t is
apparent that the sum they pay into
the. association is-yyelI worth consider
ing.
Cut of the betting and you cut off
the bOokmakers and cut down the at
/ tendance. 1t seems clear enough to
most people that horse racing must
either be conducted with its unfortun-
ate gambling accessories or it must
be abandoned entirely.

BUGS DO DAMAGE.

THE ALBANY, N Y, Argus Of re-
4 cent date had an interesting arti-
Gle on the amount of damage done by
insects in this country. The showing
is enough to startle those who have
ate gambling accessories or it must be
abandoned entirely.
Twelve bugs. according to reliable sta
tistics. do an estimated damage to farm
products of 1868 100000 per anuum. The
chinch bug heads the list with 100000.OD

Now this is all very remarkable, but
it seems to us that the Argus has left
out one of the most harmful insects.
We refer to the presidential bee
There's q bug that does about as much
damage as amy insect that could be
mentioned, If current rumors and re-
ports are true, the. presidential bee has
cost d certain large owner of neWspa-
pers something like $2.090, 600. And the
end is not yet. tt viii cost him a lot
more before he is rid of the pest.
The presidential bee is expensive to
others. Indeed, it is one of the most
pestilentiaI insects known to science.
Once let it attack a man and he's
never able to get away from it. 1t costs
some of them ali their money. others
all their happiness. For only a few, as
far as we know, has the presidential
bee been a proyideutial visitor. And
yet no man goes out of his way to
avoid it, Thus the bee is encouraged
to propagate its kind and to grow fat
I'm the land.
Then there's the apis mellidca seua-
forum commonly known as the SEN
at0rial bee. Men have been known to
recover from its rayages, but such
cases are rather rare. And once the
bee lands them where they want to be
landed they are never willing to let
so, no matter how much it costs them
or their constituents to stay.
We really believe the apis mellidca
presidentibus and the ditto senatorum
should be included in the list of harm
fuI bugs.

mR. aRIEEIN.s RETIREMENT.

THE RETIREMENT of C.. II. Griffin
4 from the active management of the
salt Lake baseball club removes from
that field of athletic activity one of the
Jruest. Cleauest sportsmeu that ever
occupied it.. Mr. Griffin was in baseball
Tor pure love OF the game, And be-
cause he loved the game he remained
In it at great sacrifice Of time and
money and in spite OF the unjust, i'll
timed and unfair criticism that was
often shOwered upon him. If Mr.. Crit
nm had not felt sure, and properly so,
that the great majority Of the more
thoughtful and appreciative baseball
lovers Of salt Lake were with him, his
position would, indeed, have been I'M
bearabIe.
1t may be said truthfuIy that had
it not been for the ceaseless efforts Of
AIr. Griffin Salt Lake would have been
out OF league baseball this year. But
whenever it seemed. early in the spring,
as if the last possibility had been ex-
hausted, @. II. Griffin came to the
front with new plan. Res0urcefuI
capable, always absolutely square and
honest MI Griffin succeeded at last in
firmly establishing salt Lake in the
league and In gathering what COM
petent critics declare to be the best ag-
gTegatiOn Of ball players that ever wore
a salt Lake uniform. More, I'm spite
of the position it occupies in the pen
uant race, the salt Lake team is con-
sidered at least as good as any one of
the other three.
Hard luck in all the forms known TO
the baseball h0odoo has pursued the
team. it has had the worst of the UNI
piriHg, 1T has had men out of c0ndi-
tion, and it has had poor men who had
so bee tried out before being released
Now, with the exception of one man
who is laid up with a crippled hand
the team is I'm good shape. With this
man back I'm his position, and with only
O. reasonable amount of good luck and
decent umpiring. the team viii be a
credit TO the city. And this largely
through the efforts Of Mr.. Griffin.
~ is pleasant 20 be able to say i'm this
connection that AR. Griffin is not re-
firing from the game altogether. He
viii stin hold place ON the board of
directors of the local organization and,
whenever his counsel is needed, he VIII
be on hand.
