ELECTED MAJOR OF
THIRD REGIMENT
CAPT. C. |. LEDBETTER OF BlR-
MINGHAM RIFLES SUCCEEDS
MAJ. ]. H. BANkHEAD, JRy RE-
SIGNED.

1t is now practically certain that Cap
tain c. H. Ledbetter of the Birmingham
Rifles. has been elected major in the Third
regiment, A. N. G., to succeed Major j.
ii. Banlshead, 1r., resigned.
The election was ordered last week,
and returns have been coming in from
the various companies for several days.
Already enough votes have been received
by Captain Ledbetter to determine his
election. although no official figures have
been given out
Runnins against Captain Ledbetter was
Mayor ". F. Parkes of Bessemer. This
the Higdcn faction in the regiment, as
Captain Ledbotter has always been con-
sidered a Higdon man. On the other hand,
Major Parkes was considered an anti
IJgdon man.
Captain Ledhetter IS regarded as one
of the best officers in the regiment. He
Is thoroughly conversant with military
subjects, and is strict dsciplinaran.
He has ieen in the service a number of
years. and his promotion is regarded by
his friends as a just tribune to his SER
vice.
There is still much doubt about where
the brigade eneampment will be located.
Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma and
Mobile are being considered and II large
enough grounds can be found, Brmlng-
ham will be preferred. The grounds at
East Lake are hardly large enough for
regimental encampment, and would be
entirely too small for brigade encamp-
ment.
The matter of selecting the place for
the encampment is In the hands of a com
mittee, consisting of Adjutant Gen. w.
w. Brandon, Col r. b. du Mont of
Mobile, Col. e. II. Graves of Eufaula,
Lieut.. Col. e. p Mcconnell of Talladega.
Maj. S. T. Westcott of Montgomery and
Maj. v. B. Atkins of Selma.

about two weeks ago to commence work
on the track, but the opening of the At
lanta track was delayed several days on
account of rain, and that delayed the re-
turn of Prince.
The Atlanta track, which is similar to
the one to be built here. was opened with
Walthour and Butler. and there were
something over 400 people present the
first night. There were four nights of rae
ing and regular events are scheduled to
take place from time to time.
The track here will be eight laps to the
mile. and will be built to carry the heav-
lest motors built. 1t will be capable OF a
speed of about :12 TO the mile.
As soon as the work on the track pro-
presses. arrangements will be made for
the opening. The street car company has
agreed to furnish all the cars necessary
for handling the crowds at the track.

1t is predicted that the salaries of
actors. and especially Of mushroom
stars, viii be much lower next season.
says the New York sun. The mutual
protective association. recently form
ed by the managers. it is really inten-
ded to bring down the pay of actors.
In the past three or EGur wears the
prosperity Of the theatres has been
greater than it ever was before Man
ayers have earned so much money that
they have taken all kinds of risks,
and have made stars out of many ac-
tors who happen To have been success
full in one or two plays that had long
runs, and have then paid them twice
as much "a they were worth. Now
salaries are expected to fall. 1t is
these young men and women who
were made into stars that are likely to
find themselves compelled next year
10 accept lower salaries.
The managers who have always got
the best results out of the actors were
not the men who paid the largest
salaries. David Belasco and Austin
Daily never paid their actors salaries
which are large when compared with
those paid by other managers. But
nobody would deny that for aIl-round
excellence there are no performances
today that compare with those given
by the Belasco companies. The same
was true of the Daily company in the
lifetime of its manager.
The reason for this is that BelaSco
is able to teach his actors to do what
ever he wants of them. The same
thing was true of Austin DAILY i'm his
time. So Belasco and men like him are
in a measure free from the veXations
that the other managers have been
compelled to struggle with. These
managers have been for years at the
mercy Of the actors. Competition
made it possible for the actors to keep
salaries high when they knew that one
manager would pay them more even
if another did not.
The recently formed union is To
keep the managers from paying an
actor higher salary than the union
thinks he is worth. When one manager
has refused 10 pay an actor more than
re is legitimately entitled to ask, it
is proposed to have the other mana
gers also refuse to take him. The eff
fleets of this new association are to
be noticed first next spring. when en-
gagementS for the following season
are made. And it is safe to say that
many an actor will have his pay cut.

Bushnell, H., March 22.-(Special.)
Republicans of the Fourteenth con
gressional district met in convention
here at II this morning. Rock Island
county is represented by the two con
testing delegations. of which - rep
resenting the Yates faction came last
night and 80 representing the Lowden
faction came this morning. Bot
have been exceedingly active i'm but
ton-holing the other delegates in an
effort to secure favors at the hands of
the convention.
TIL convention was called to order
by Chairman j. F. Crawford, of Han
cock county. chairman of the congress
sionaI committee. Clarence r. Buck
of Warren county, was made temper
ary chairman, and DR.. w. o. Butler,
of Hancock county, and =. H. McClel-
land, of McDonough county. were
made temporary secretaries. BY
agreement in advance Rock Island
county did not participate in the tenn
porary organization.
The committee on credentials. com
posed Of delegates from the five coun-
ties not contesting, was appointed to
pass upon the merits of the contest
ants from this county and is now at
work.
May Seat Both.
The best that has been offered to
either faction from Rock Island coun-
ty is to seat both in convention and
give each delegate half vote. This
both declare they will not accept, but
will leave the hall and refuse to par
ticipate. The fight is n most bitter
one. The Yates delegates are led by
a steering committee, at the head of
which is {. J. Searle and Col c. l..
Walker. The LOwden faction is being
looked after by l.. c. Blanding and Il.
y. Connolly.
The fight that Rock Island county
has precipitated promises TO result in
the dropping of both NJ. VI. Sturgeon
and G.. l.. Peterson. who are. respect

At 3 o'clock the credentials commit

followers had come TO the convention
for n principle and would not consent
To a split of the delegation. c. j.

declared they were willing to abide by
the will of the convention. The Ques-
tion upon the adoption Of the report
of the committee was then put and
carried 81 to 27, eight from Mercer
and 10 from McDonough voting
against. The Lowden delegation
thereupon left the hall.
