SHARP LINES ARE DRAWN
 IN RACE FOR POSTMASTER

Applicants for the Birmingham post mastership, anticipating the removal of the incumbent of that position, were, through their friends and supporters, ex- ceedingly active yesterday in strengthen ing their respective candidaeies.
 The canvass for the place has at length reached the stage where the lines are being sharply drawn. Personal as well as political rivalries are becoming in- tense Without printing any names 1t is clear that the republican applicants are separated into two distinct classes first, those who are identified with the regu- lar organization and who have been ac- tive in the campaign that resulted In dlscouraglngly small number of republl- can votes in Alabama last November, and, second, those whose devotion to re- publican principles and republican pol- cies has not been shown exclusively in attempts to capture offices.
 These two classes the organization and the non-organization republicans are now opposing one another Incidentally. they are saying things about one another which are not likely to promote republi- can harmony. A representative of the organization men who requested that his name be not used, said yesterday he was certain that Dr. Hughes successor would be man who not only by his vote but also by his voice had supported Roose- welt and Fairbanks in the last campaign. This prophet said that the men in Bir- mingham who had come out in the open when the fight had to be made for the republican party here could be counted on the fingers of one hand. He said that all the others had remained under cover. protesting that while they were republi- cans they could not afford to be active"
 A leader of the non-organization men said the President understood that the organization leaders in Birmingham were discredited and that if there was to be any serious effort made to build up republican party in this state 1t would be necessary to shuttle the cards and have new deal. He agreed that. under the present regime, the rep blicans of Birmingham who put their heart Into the republican cause could be counted on the fingers of one hand, and he added that there would have been hundreds of re- publicans here who would have hocked gaily 10 the fight if they had felt conf- dence in the republican leadership in this community. He pointed out that there was no hope for the republican party here so long as it was blighted by the leadership that now obtains. He was sure that all these facts were being brought to the Presidents attention and that MT. Roosevelt would give the pres ent regime a shaking down that would put 1t out of business.
 Rumors were persistent yesterday that the President in making the appointment would entirely disregard the question of whether or not his selection would strengthen the party organization. It

POSTOFFICE AT
 AUBURN ROBBED
About S1500 Is Secured By Blowing Open Safe During the
 Night.

Auburn, January 7.-(Special.)-Last night about o'clock the postoffice of this place was entered by Q burglar and the safe was blown open and rifed of everything It contained.
 The outside doors of the building were all locked as usual this morning and the only violence done in entering was to the money order window through which the robber entered the postoffice. All indi- cations indicate that 1t was the work of a professional safe blower. Twelve hun dred dollars worth of stamps and about three hundred dollars in money were taken. Some of the money belonged to the postmastress There Is absolutely no clue to the burglary. The noise was heard by only a few who live nearby and they thought nothing of 1t. No suspicious per sons have appeared on the streets during the week.

was stated that Mir. Roosevelt desired only to give Birmingham satisfactory postmaster, and to let the political end of the game take care of itself. This report alarmed the organization repub- licans.
 It Is understood that J. Rivers Carter. J. P Blakemore, the assistant postmas- ter, and Alonzo Green are lining up with the so-called Organization" republicans. J. W. Lee and George F. Jackson are. It is understood, standing on their records as republicans. as men of character and ability and as gentlemen who enjoy the unstinted respect of the community. W. J. Cameron is classified as an independ- ent while General R. D. Johnston is known to be q straight out democrat. Predictions that the last named would get the place were repeated confidently throughout the day.

 Discharge Them.

Winchester, Ky, January 1.-The tes- timony in the Hargis-M -Marcum damage suit was finished and the case was given to the jury this afternoon. After delib- erating several hours they came into court and reported that they were unable to agree.

FIVE MINUTES.
Under Some Circumstances 1t Seems
Very Long Time.

Under Some Circumstances 1t Seems
Very Long Time.
In murder trial before a western
court the prisoner was able to account
for the whole Of his time except five
minutes on the evening when the crime
was committed. His counsel argued
that it was impossible for him to have
killed the man under the circumstances
in so brief a period, and on that plea
largely based his defense, the other
testimony being strongly against his
client .-......
When the prosecuting attorney re-
piled, he said: "HoW long a time really
is five minutes? Let US see. Will his
honor command absolute silence in the
courtroom for that space?''
The judge graciously complied. There
was a clock on the wall Every eye in
the courtroom was fixed upon it as the
pendulum licked off the seconds. There
was breathless silence.
We all know how time which is
waited for creeps and halts and at last
does not seem to move at all.
The keen witted counsel waited until
the tired audience gave sigh Of relief
at the close of the period, and then
asked quietly:
Gould he not have struck one fatal
blow in all that time?"
The prisoner was found guilty, and.
as it was proved afterWard, justly.
