THE UNHAPPY CAR.

There is a great deal of sunhappi.
ness in this world and if'you doubt
1T drop line to Car Nicholas at
st. Petersburg and learn what he
has to say on the subject. Ten to
one he would be willing to exchange
places with you and take your
position, salary or income included
1T he could. His is an unfortunate
situation with little of Joy in a
single minute of the fourteen hun
bred and more which compose each
dreary day. His country is oppress-
ed and depressed. Financial ruin
is not many months away and with
the defeat of the army of the East,
which seems all but inevitable,
domestic revolution is foreshadowed.
True it is that uneasy lies the head
that wears a crown"

WILL NOT BE CHANGED.

The exploded theory that there is
a general desire to have the seat of
state government moved from Madi-
son to some more central location is
being revamped. 1t is undoubtedly
true that there are quite a number
of cities which are DESTROYS of hav-
ing the discussion opened again be-
cause of the possibility that one of
them might be chosen as the site
for the new state capitol. Beyond
these few little interest is being
taken in the question. The fact of
the matter is that the expense of
making such a change would be
enormous in spite of the fact that
the capitol building was partially
destroyed by fire.
In these latter days when travel
has been made easy the question of
a central location does not cut as
much of figue as it did in days of
yore and the argument that the
capitol is not in the geographical
center of theg Estate is fast losing it's
force. Madison will in all prob
ability remain the seat of state gov
eminent for all time.

LET US BE CHARITABLE.

AS we gather around our warm
fires in the long winter evenings it
is impossible not to remember those
who have nosfres at which to warm
themselves, and who, doing hard
battle with the stings and sorrows
OF outrageous fortune, fail and
fall. At this general season let us
remember them with more than
usual sympathy. No man is worse
for kind thought. It is not hard
to give a smile or gentle word.
That is charity possible to every
poor man, and there's none sweeter.
We have no excuse for not doing
1T. We can not say that we hay g
no time to consider nor investigate.
There are plenty who will do that.
AS the bright days of Christms s
tide and the New Year lengthen to-
ward the spring, let them be fullt r
than ever of good thoughts al ID
good deeds. The remembrance Ct
a charitable act is sweeter at night,
and secures dreams more delightful
than a might cap" of the mountain
dew hot with sugar. Begin now
If you have not begun. Help good
works by sympathy and Econsider-
alton If you can do no more.

NOTES1
OF INTEREST.

Inc farmers or some sections Of the
south propose to set fire to a part of
their cotton crop and burn 1t up to
thus reduce the supply and keep up
the price. Fools are these. The pros
pect Is that the boil weevil inside of
three years will make the crop short
enough without burning it up.

We have a friend who lives in a
small country town. He keeps two
Jersey cows, and it is needless to say
that he gives them the best of care.
He told us recently that his cash re-
turns from these two cows, aside from
what butter and milk he and his wife
used, was $3.50, mostly from the sale
of the milk to town patrons. A man
with cows of that sort, a good garden
and few hens could live pretty easy.

ALABAMA AND TENNESSEE
 READY FOR ANNUAL GAME

The football gladiators of the universi- ty of Tennessee and Alabama will battle for the honor and glory of their respective universities on the grdiron at West End park tomorrow afternoon
 Everything is in readiness for the game, and it is expected that the contest will be hard fought and exciting throughout. Tennessee has practically remained idle since the battle with Georgia Tech when the Georgia men vanqushed the Knox vile lads by the overwhelming score of 45 to o. In justice to the Tennessee team it might be stated that only short time previous to the Tech game they engaged in a tussle with Sewanee The mountain eleven was victorious, but only by score of Il to 6. Tennessee in the Sewanee bat tie used the regular line up and played the vanquishers of Alabama to a stand still. In the Tech contest a number of substitutes were sent in by Tennessee, which to great extent, accounts for the easy victory secured by the Georgia team.
 It Is an acknowledged fact that any eleven that can hold Sewanee down to Il points Is playing the game, and that is exactly what Tennessee did. Georgia. Tech could only score three touchdowns and kick three goals against the Purple and White, while Sewanee did the same thing against Tech. Everybody who wit

AUTOPSY BEGINS
 TO BEAR FRUIT
MEDICAL MEN GIVE OPINIONS AS TO WHETHER DEATH BLOW WAS FROM FIST OR FROM A FALL.

Annapolis, Md November 2s.-The au- topsy held last Sunday on the body of the late Midshipman James R. Branch. Jr., bore fruit at today's session of the courtmartial which is trying Midshipman Minor Meriwether on charges including manslaughter in connection with the death of Mdshipman Branch. after a fist fight with Meriwether
 The days testimony was given chiefly by medical men who had been present at the autopsy and bore upon the question whether the death of Midshipman Branch resulted from blows of his opponents fists. or from his head striking the floor of the room in which the fight was held
 Testimony was also given according to which although the naval academy hospi- tai journal shows the origin of the in juries for which midshipmen are treated, the mornin sick report sent by the hos pital officers to the superintendent of the academy does not and witness giving testimony In this connection said that he knew of no inspection of the hospital Journal having been made by the author ities.
 Counsel for Midshpman Meriwether an- nounced that after putting the accused or the stand in his own defense tomor- row. they will close their case.

messed the game between Alabama and Sewanee in this city recently knows what the men from the mountains of Tennes- see did to the White and Crimson of Alabama The eleven simply played Ala bama off their feet.
 These facts and the chance Tennessee has had to improve by constant practice and rest while Alabama has been com pelled to play at least two hard games against Auburn and Sewanee, leaves the result in doubt. It must be acknowledged that Alabama has a shade the best of 1t on form and in the opinion of the foot ball experts It Is expected that the Tus- caloosa eleven will triumph in the an nual contest between the two universities, but those Tennesseans state oopenly that Alabama will have no easy time in SCOT ing a victory.
 Interest in the game is at fever heat and great crowd will be present to cheer for the Crimson and White and Ten nessee will not be forgotten. There are a number of citizens of Alabama who formerly resided in the sister state, who will be out at the park, with the Tennes- see colors flying to the winds from the lapels of their coats who will use their lusty lungs in behalf of their alma mater.
 The contest will wind up the football season in Alabama and for this reason, if no other, it Is hoped that the game will be clean, as have been nearly all the games this year in Birmingham.

Ferguson was nominated for the office also. and when the votes were counted MT. Fletcher had received 92 against MT. Ferguson's 76. c. H. Miles was unani- mously reelected secretary and treasurer.

Munger and Solon Jacobs were honored with an overwhelm- ing vote Ed Warren, w. H. Ferguson and Sid B. Jones are the new members whose terms are for period of two years, and Frank Steinmell and Dr. J. b. Ded- man were elected for a term of one year each.

Nesbitt to the presidency, but he declined to allow his name to be used, Solon Ja- cobs was also nominated for president and also declined to be a candidate. In the presidents annual report MT. Nesbitt showed the affairs of the club to be in a most satisfactory condition; that it's debt had been greatly decreased during the last year; that athletics had been promoted

Lighthouse and Fog Signal at MiIwau- kee Are Battered By the
 Waves.

Milwaukee Wis, November 2s.-The hercest windstorm in many years pre- vailed on the great lakes last night and today, causing much damage to shipping and other property. Lake Michigan on this shore was mass of foam, the wind reaching a velocity of forty-six miles an hour, but on Lake Superior the storm ap- proxmated a hurricane blowing at over iixty miles an hour
 The government lighthouse and the fog signal building at the end of the Mil waukee breakwater pier was battered by the high seas. and the assistant keeper, William Foster, was rescued with diff culty by the life savers.
 While the life saving crew were attempt ing to get to the breakwater to rescue Mir Foster the waves were sweeping com pletely over the harbor piers It was with the greatest difficulty that the crew was able to get outside the piers.
 The big steamer AppomattoX. coal laden, which went ashore seven miles north of this place several weeks ago and later abandoned, was battered to pieces by the intensity of the waves.

TREMENDOUS STORM
 SWEEPS PRAIRIES
Around Washhurn Wis, Snow Lies In Drifts From One to Four
 Feet Deep

St. Paul, Minn., November 2S-The first real touch of winter in the northwest was ushered in last night and today by a storm of tremendous proportions and ex- tent out in the prairie towns of North and South Dakota in the hills of the Red River valley and in the hills and dales or Minnesota and Wisconsin there was such storm as has not been witnessed at this time In many years
 The storm struck the twin cities late yesterday afternoon. Fifty miles an hour is the estimate of the winds velocity. Fifteen inches of snow fell at Moorhead, Minn.. and tonight the temperature Is lowering close to the zero point. Num- bers of business men were unable to get down town to their offices until noon. Telephones were rendered useless. Ves- sels came down the harbc~ driven help less by the gale. No loss of life has been reported on land.
 Tonight the fury of the gale Is pass ing. About the twin cities. the air is quiet but heavy snow is falling.
 At Fargo, N. D., there was rather an unusual condition. A snow storm with wind blowing it from the east met a sixty mile wind coming from the northern part of the state where the blizzard con- tlitions prevail. Lowering temperatures were reported from all parts of the state and the conditions late this afternoon were ripe for a severe blizzard with zero weather.
 From northwestern Wisconsin reports were received of high winds with snow,
 From Washburn. Wis. the snow lies in drifts from one to four feet deep.

 Classical School By Score of to 3.

Last night the basket ball teams from Owenton college and Birmingham Classl- cal school played a beautiful game at the Y. M. c. A gymnasium.
