 TWO AND HALF CENT RATE
J. g. B. Thompsen Made This An nouncement After Conference With Governor Conner
 Yesterday

After . conference with Governor Conner yesterday morning. assistant to the President J. S. B. Thompson. of the Southern Railway. announced that the Southern will only charge a pas senger rate of 2 1-2 cents per mile in Alabama. This will be the only road in Alabama allowing this rate.
 Mir. Thompson stated that the rate was in accord with the agreement made with the Governor to the effect that the Southern would give Alabama the same passenger rate that it gives to any other State in tho South, pending the final settlement of the cases now pending in the courts of North Caro- lima against the enforcement of the 2 1-2 cent rate.
 The agreement was made some time ago. at the same time that the other roads of the State came into Governor Comer's proposition to aoualize the rates of the several adjoining States as a basis of the rate to be finally accept cd by these roads.
 At present the Southern Railway is contesting the rates enforced by the North Carolina Legislature, and on the final decision of this case will rest the ffnal rate to be adopted by the South ern as to whether 1t shall be at 1-2 cents or at the rate set forth in the recent enactments.

HANLON MAY RETIRE
FAMOUS BASE BALL MAGNATE TO
 QUIT GAME.
Such is The RumOr That Was Current at The Meeting of The National League Club
 Yesterday.

New York. Dec, Flowing to the impossibility of finishing all business on hand today tfe National Baseball League meeting was adjourned over until tomorrow when it is hoped by holding a long session all outstanding matters may be cleared up.
 On motion of MT. Murphy of the Chicago Club, a suggestion to be con sidered later by both major leagues. season series for the world champion ship shall consist of nine games ia stead of seven and that the players shall share in the receipts of five of the games instead of In four, was adopted
 It was voted also to amend the con stitution so as to give the President of the league absolute power in the matter of discipline as far as 1t refers to the players except in the matter of expulsion, which Is to be put before the directors.
 The day closed without deal for players being recorded. Among the rumors flying about today. one that seemed to have basis in fact was that Ned" Hanlon, once manager of the Brooklyns and later with Cincinnati would retire altogether from base ball. It is stated that Hermann rather favors George Stallings, formerly man ager of the Detroit Americans, and last place. It is not thought the deal will go through however. Billy" Clymer of the Columbus American Association team who is here, is mentioned in connection wit" H'-~i-~~'"a manage nient.

MEETING
AN IMPORTANT NEW R ULE IS
 PASSED BY CLUBS.
The New Rule Regards Transfers and Restricts Practice of Securing q Player by Refusing to
 Waiver Claim.

Chicago. Dec. 1.-The annual meet ing of the American League Of Fro fessional Baseball Cluos nteo came uo .aa aa appointments. Late in assembling. Ine club owners lost little time in winding up the routine business which remained for their consideration, finding time also to pass a new, rule which. 1t is thought. will tend to abolish the prac- tice of covering up' players for clubs outside the organization.
 President Johnson's term of office does not expire until 1910. Charles somers of Cleveland was again chosen Vice. President of the League. The. resentatives of the Chicago. Cleveland. New York and Boston Clubs. The new rule regarding transfers of players restricts the practice Of securing a then immediately turning him over to a club outside the league. It provides that if the club that obtains title to him shall within thirty days. ask for waivers on him. he shall revert to the club originally waived him upon re- turn of the $1.50o, but the club to which he reverts shall. for ten days, have the privilege of disposing of him to any club outside of the league without fur ther request for waivers.
 It Is provided that if more than one club had refused to waive in the first instance. all such clubs except the one returning him. shall have the right 10 reluSe 10 waive the second time. It Is further provided that no change in the salary of such a player shall take place for thirty days and that adyant- age cannot De taken of this new rule until the player has been placed in regular service by the club securing him originally by means of the waiver provision.
 Before the club owners separated. trades were concluded by which De. troit secured Ira Thomas, a catcher, from New York. and St. Louis pur, chased the contract of Arthur Brown. a nrst baseman. who played last year
 The American League later recon. sidered their vote of the previous day, approving proposition that the world championship be decided by series of five out of nine games. It was pointed out that If a Western team should be cal ed upon to meet an would be necessary for a close series of nine games.

SKELETON AT HIS FEAST A thing of he taSt fir a Port
 land, rle., Man. .

Many a person In Montgomery sits down to a table laden with good tnings. but a staring skeleton at the hoa rds warns them that they satisfy their appetite at their peril. This skeleton of indigestion has become a nhantom of the past to many persons who have restored their digestive or pans to normal condition by taking our delicious cod liver prepara- tion. Vinol Vinol is rich in altera- five clements which restores natural a assimilation, and makes rich. red blood which In turn strengthens every organ in the body to do It's work as nature intended.
 MT W E. Warehouse of Portland, Me writes: q suffered so long with stomach trouble and indigestion that [ lost flesh rapidly. Vinol cured me after everything else had failed. It Strengthened my digestive organs gave me hearty appetite, and I can eat anything without the slightest dis tress. I do not believe any other med tcIre equals Vinol for stomach troubles and indigestion"
 We ask Montgomery people who suf- Car with indigestion, and every weak. aged down person to try Vinol. IF if does not help you we will re. t,,rn purchase money. E. G. Fowler. Druggist. Montgomery, Ala.

TRUTH FROM PICKENS
EDITOR PETERS TELLS or THE 7N BRACE RIOT." E.s
Only One Negro is Dead. and He Was Killed by His Brother, Who
 Shot at an Of-

2 Gordo. Dec. 12.-(Special.)--The re- ports sent out in regard to the trouble with negroes near here have been greatly exaggerated.
 The real facts are these:
 Last Friday night negroes went to the cotton house of Early Lowe and stole nearly a thousand pounds of seed cotton. So many farmers have lost SO much cotton that Mr. Lowe cut up small particles of paper and put In the cotton so 1t could be Identified. He went Saturday morning. after missing the cotton, to a gin owned and oper- ated by negroes. and found his cotton. Later 1t was told him who carried the cotton there. A warrant was sworn out for a negro named Will Lowe, and put in the hands of R. V. Lowe and Robert Price to serve. They went and arrested a negro and started with him to jail.
 When the prisoner began to call out loudly, Mandolin" up rushed about a hundred negroes. some with guns. and began shooting at MT. Lowe. who had hold of the negro. He held to his prisoner until the negro was killed by those of his relatives and friends. who were shooting at the oh1cer. Three balls went into the negro, but Mir. Lowe says the bullet that killed the negro was fired by the negro's brother.
 Several small shot hit Mr. Lowe in the face and legs. but not sufhcient to cause much pain.
 When the negroes discovered that they had killed one of their own num- Der. they ran of.
 This occurred Sunday afternoon near sun down. ,
 Monday morning. about 800 men, with the sheriff. went into Lowe Town, where only negroes live. and where the negro was killed. and began thor ough search of the place for the crim' inals. About thirty have been arrest ed and put in jail at Carrollton.
 No one was killed except the neEro prisoner.
 For many years Lowe Town has been obnoxious to law-abfding citizenN- Thieving and robbery occur frequently and when the negroes once get back to Lowe Town they are safe.
 One negro who had no crop, has sold thirteen bales of cotton and. of course. 1t was stolen.
 They all belong to secret societies, and the word mandolin" was theii pass word of distress.
 Their lodge was burned and a com plete rout of the negroes effected. The white people are determined not to let them again build up Lowe Town. Every- thing is quiet here.
