READY FOR BIRMINGHAM.
StaFlke's Team to Seek Revenge Ol
 Athletic Park Field.


 Athletic Park Field.
 The responsibility of shedding lustre upon the fair name, honor and glory of Montgomery. the satisfaction ot getting even with Birmingham anu trailing the colors of select High School pigskin eleven of the Magic City in the dust. eleven students or Starke's University School are conf dent rests with them. Montgomery's $ for grit and nerve is at stake, say the students, and what they will do to Birmingham on Athletic Park field this afternoon, they declare, will be worth while.
 Starke's University School has am- pie reason for the revenge they desire. Starkes School was the recipient of q drubbing in Birmingham Saturday. The youths from Montgomery never had look in. It was all one sided and when the dust had finally cleared away, the Birmingham High School team was growing with a score of 27 to their credit, Starke's University had a goose egg.
 Todays football combat will. there- fore. be supreme effort on the part of Montgomery's young squad io snatch its dust ridden banner from the dust, while the Birmingham yougs- ters will undertake to rub it in lit tie deeper.
 we are going to beat 'em this time; we've been practicing and we're n fine condition" declared Manager Me- gregor Snodgrass of Starke's team last night Yes. they beat us m Birming- ham Saturday, but you needn't say anything about that
 The Birmingham squad will reach Montgomery some time thls morning and the game will be called at 3 o'clock The visitors will bring an umpire with them Haygood Paterson of Montgomery will referee the con- test.
 Here's the lineup of Starks' team, arrogantly anfiounced last night by Manager SnodgraHs: Tatum !. H.. Nickel 1. t.; Lassiter. l. g; Lockwood. centre Drum. r. g.; Ragland, r. t.; fitzpatrick. A., r. e.; snodgrass. a.. b. Fitzpatrick Fl, l. h b.: Dou- glass, f. b.; Coleman. r. h. b.
 The line up of the Birmingham High School will not be known until the team arrives in Montgomery.

IMPROVE THE STREETS.
Notes viii Be Issued for Extensive
Work in UnlontoWn.

IJniontowu January 19-(Special)-A a
special meeting of the City Council last
night an ordinance was adopted authoriz-
ing the mayor to issue notes signed by
him as mayor for the $4,000 subscribed
by the citizens, the notes to bear inter
est at 6 per cent and to be paid in three
years The ordinance takes effect March
l when the work will be started and the
money paid in. The city will also float
$40. 600 worth of bonds to complete the
work, the entire amount to be used for
street improvements and nothing else,
according to the ordinance. Thus 1t will be
seen that paved streets in Uniontown are
a certainty, and will do untold good for
our little city. The success of the object
lesson road being built at the edge OF
the town originated the idea in the minds
of public-spirited citizens to make our
streets the same way, and In this they
were highly successful.
Mayor Walden leaves Sunday for Biz
mingham to make some arrangement for
the Stag, etc.. to be used in the work; and
also on such a large tonnage to secure
reduction in freight rates. Slowly but
surely Uniontown is destined to be the
Queen City of west Alabama.

STRICT WITH FOREIGNERS.
Status of New Treaty Ports In China
VIII Be Changed.

Pekin January 19-It is now proposed
by the Chinese government that all for
eign settlements in China to be opened
In the future must differ in status from
the old treaty ports 1t is pointed out
that these treaty ports are practically
foreign territory, and they are able to
dispute the Chinese claims for damages
as was instanced in the riots at Sham
ghai. where China was debarred from
maintaining troops to keep order. 1t is
the plan of the government to greatly re-
strict the privileges of foreigners.
The throne today promulgated regula-
tons for the PRONUNCIATION OF the recently
opened port at Gilman Flu. These regula-
lions are modelled somewhat on the Ger
man system in operation at Kiao Chau,
and will be enforced in all new settle
ments. They provide that no lands can
be purchased by foreigners, that the
leases of lands to foreign tenants shall
be restricted to sixty years. and that the
rentals shall be fixed by the government.
1t Is further provided that tho Chinese
authorities shall control the policy of
these settlements, levy the taxes and
control the postal and telegraph systems,
and the public works. These rules are TO
apply to the opening Of Msnchuria by
the Chinese under the treaty with Japan.
The throne has commanded the viceroys
to submit reports regarding the numbers
of nationalities of the missionaries in
their districts.
