VANDIVER PARK SHAPING
 FOR THE BIG FALL FAIR
Handsome Buildings Under Construction for the Alabama Agricultural Association Spaces
 Given Over to All Houses.

ments Not all of these buildings will be constructed this year, but the space will be marked off, so as to leave room for other buildings which are to be erected as the annual Fair increases in importance and proportions.
 At the extreme northern end of this row, however, a large space 1S0 feet by 225 feet. is laid off for the exhibits of negro inhabitants of the State, and for the different schools for negroes. One building will be erected here for the exhibits of the negro educational institutions. The plans for the build ing have already been drawn at the direction of Booker Washington who has been appointed by President W. F. vandiver to take charge of the work. The building is to be sixty-five feet wide by 100 feet in length.
 Just east of this building. near the race track, is to be located the poultry building. e structure thirty feet by fifty feet Between the poultry build ing and the administration building. the space Is reserved for a Midway or Pike, which is to be let to differ ent concessionaries, for side show booths, and the attractions which everyone coming to State Fair always expects to find, and always visits. It is the intention of the Fair Associa- tion, in regard to this class of enter tainment, however, that none but at- fractions of highly reputable character shall be given concessions In the park.
 The stables for racing stock are to be five in number, built near the north end of the grounds. Each of these buildings is to be thirty-nine feet by 100 feet in dimensions, and in the five buildings there will be in the neighbor- zE Gfall lar0a nIlnnhnF of entries is expected in the different events of the six days of the Fair, and preparations are making to ac- commodate an unusual number of the performers of the track. Running from the track of the Vest ern Railroad of Alabama, which skirts the northern end of vandiver Park. a branch will be constructed, which will enter the grounds near the west fence, and traverse about two-thirds the distance to the main entrance Here q 1 station will be erected, and the proper 1 ticket offices installed, as well as a | waiting room in case of rain. On the inside of the curve of the track, just where it enters the grounds, will be built a long shed in which will be io- cated the stalls for the housing of live stock exhibits to the Fair.
 The actual work at the Fair Grounds during the last two weeks has taken definite shape. is is now being pushed with vigor. The foundation for the main exhibit building, and for the grand stand are now practically completed, and the work on the superstructure will commence within a few days. A temporary track has been built within the boundaries of the Park, and sup plies for the building contractors are

coming in rapidly. As soon as they reach the grounds. they are unloaded from the cars, and deposited at places easy of access from the locations where they are to be used.
 A large portion of the woods which encumbered so much of the grounds, has been removed, and the work of cutting the timber is progressing rapidly. The right of way of the track has now been completely cleared of trees. and the contractor on this work is now en- gagged In leveling the ground for the big oval.
 At the present time. the officers of the association feel that they are to be congratulated on the amount of progress that has been made. Not only has all the preliminary portion of the work been satisfactorily arr ranged, but the actual work of erec- tion Is under way. and being pushed with an energy which promises good results. A month from now should show a wonderful difference in the appearance of the place.

LAMB IS RELEASED.
Georgia Labor Agent to be Tried This
 Afternoon.

Georgia Labor Agent to De Trted Thas
 Afternoon.
 J. s. Lamb, the white man arrested by the police late Saturday night on charge of acting as labor agent without a city license, succeeded in making bond of $500 yesterday morning and was released.
 Lamb is apparently about 45 years old. He told the police that hts home was in South Carolina, but that he came to Montgomery from Aragon, Ga., where there are cotton mills. Lamb is a fore man in these mills and it Is alleged against him that he was in Montgom- cry inducing cotton mill labor of the gon for work. It Is said that on reach son to the local mills but employed men whom he sent to the factories to offer the operatives fattering wages.
 From the police 1t is learned that Lamb sent several operatives to Ara gon Saturday night and that he had intended sending more of them yes- terday morning. The warrant of ar rest, charging a violation of the reve- nue law, was sworn out by c. B. Da- wis, a boss weaver of the Peoples Cot ton Factory.
 About 10:30 o'clock Saturday night the police gained the information that Lamb was at the Imperial Hotel Spe- ciai Off1cers Swearingen and Russell went to the hotel. aroused him from sleep and placed him under arrest.
 The city Of Montgomery requires a license of $250 from labor agents. Lamb will be arranged before Recorder Baber this afternoon.

is attached to the piece for service as an aid to shooting, provided this does not hinder in any way the proper ma nlpulation of the piece. As every ri- fieman knows, steadlness l the hrst essential in the prime position In ri- le shooting; everything hinges on this
 The sling has been used as an aid to rife shooting for more than a cen tury at least. and 1t is very rarely we find a man of any experience as rihe shot not using the sling in prone position. Tn actual warfare, the ex- perienoed shot would perhaps De me least affected by shooting without a sling, as his natural ability to hold would help him along to a certain ex- tent. The recruit. however. would need the sling; so instead of hitting the expert rifeman, as intended, they have gone wide of the mark and have bi+ the man we have to depend on in emergencies, and that Is the recruit.
 What we need as much as anything else is a sling of such length that It can be used as an aid to rife shooting. and. at the same time, as sling. The old sling as issued by the United States Ordnance Department was per fectlv satisfactory for this in all re- spects. Instead of discarding this sling for the short one, we should not only put 1t back on the piece. but all SO insert in the firing regulations and drill regulations instructions for the use of the sling in prone firing, ana have al ldrills in extended order with a sling around the left arm prepara- tory to immediate use when the sol dier halts and lies down.
 The gentlemen who seem to be re- sponsible for this new short sling pre- aumably will give as a reason utility in service. It is for this very utility we appeal, not because the rifle crack wants 1t to aid him in making better scores. but as a necessity to insure steadiness in the heat of active sklr- mish fire.
 Let them try the experiment them selves. Let them take some men, good shots. put them through a skirmish run with dummy cartridges, using rifles without slings. and watch the move ment of the pieces as the men drop into position for firing prone. Let them try the same thing with slings on these pieces SO that the men can use them as an aid, and note the difference. That in itself ought to be convincing enough.
 'I sincerely hope that something will be done to prevent the use of these short slings and give us back one that is of real use. The object of a sol dIer's equipment Is to have as few things serve as many purposes as pos sible If we have a sling serving double purpose, so much the better"

REMAINS OF FLAG POLE

Pole Discover Fragments of Anoth-

ssWhile making excavations for a
pole at the northwest cor

wOrkmen came across a large piece
of wood, five feet beneath the ser
vice, that evidently was the base of
a flag staff pole of some sort.
J. F. ROwlett, who CHANGED to be
at the spot when the piece of wood
was recOmed, became interested and
made an effort to determine the orr
gin. Mr.. ROwlett in interviewing va
riOus old citizens of the south end,
among them Julius Melle, the shoe
maker, ascertained that in all prob
ability the ancient fragment of wood
was a part of a hickory campaign

honor of Franklin Pierce the Demo

year and the successful one. 1t was
the first political sTole raising that

that time. MTaMelle recollected well
