CALL BY THOMPSON
STATE REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE
 COMMITTEE TO MEET.
Chairman Will Resign and 1t fs Prob able He VIII Also Give Up the Federal once He
 Holds.

Birmingham, May 29.-(Special )--J. o. Thimpson, chairman or the state he- pubIican Executive Committee has called the committee to meet here, June 18th. and 1t js expected that every mem Der will be in attendance.
 Among other things, the resignatlons of n number of members of the commit tee those who hold Federal office, will be received. This includes the chair man of the committee. Mir. Thompson. Ha states that he will tender his re- sI9nation, and judging from an inter view he is not only to retire from pol tiles but from office. too, as he will hardly seek reappointment as Internal Revenue Collector which he has held almost four years. Frequent invesu- cations into his office have always re- suited in fine reports being made.
 The call for the meeting today came rather unexpectedly. and there are some who connect 1t with recent hap penings as regards Federal appoint ments In this State.
 The meeting of the State Republican Committee will be interesting also by reason of the fact that decision will be arrived at as to a State ticket this year. The committee will consider the Congressional races and fin more than one district Republican candidates Will be urged The leaders of the party who have not been in line with MT. Thompson and his following arc urg- ing a State ticket. while some believe that it would be a waste of energy.
 When asked as to who he thought would succeed him as chairman of the State Committee. MT. Thompson stated today that he had no idea. He did not intimate his choice. Julius W David son, who is a law partner of William Vaughan. formerly chairman of the par ty in the State, is a candidate for chairman and recently wrote letter to chairman Thompson asking several per tinent questions concerning the party and looking to meeting of the com mittee. The call issued today is one of the results of this open letter.

 Many of the patrons in the ataad contended that Montgomery blocked a New Orleans player on third, which kept back score. Others deny that any such attempt was made whatso- ever, and that the visitors coach stopped the runner
 The play was not seen by the writ CT, but if such was the case. a timely warning should be extended the player. All such actions as these will do the game all right.
 "A peculiar thing about the manner in which some of the home players acted was that this 'stuff' was thrown in the face of the patrons after the club had lost nine straight victories on the road. Think of 1t, there were over 5000 people present to see the game were behind the players. and not a knock was heard from any quarter.
 Chewing the rag and such conduct as was again put before the public Saturday will hurt the sport in Bir- 
 the battle ground of the Southern League, say the fans, and if better manners can not be shown and better ball playing done, then the Birming- ham public is destined to become heart sick and the game will die a natural death.
 "'Play ball. Win some gamese Cut out questionable acts!' continue the fans. With this as a motto, let the club get busy"

THE NEED OF SEWER.

A few words-cesspools and sew

the borough council proceedings in
these columns, where Councilman
Dey said he had the nerve and would
circulate a petition requesting the
authorities 10 look after the matter
of ''cesspools and sewer" caused /;
little commotion. The whole thing
had to do with the gerat necessity O
a sewer system in this borough. Re
harding cesspools there is not the
slightest doubt but what if any com
plant was made regarding any cess
pool that was overlooking it would be
attended to at once and notice given
to the transgressOrs by the board
The Inspector would be kept busy go
ing over the borough every day in az
attempt to ascertain whether any
cesspools we're running over. for they
are liable to do that at any time.
Another matter of complaint is the
water runnig into cutters from the
houses. The inspector says the Dor
ough furnishes the property owners
with water and it has to run from the
sinks somewhere and they cannot
stop the people from letting it run
into the cutters. So we cannot have
the matter of having a eve system
settled too quickly.
