The full ness of the rings speaks well for the en- thusiasm which is being manifested. The gathering of horses is said to be equal to those where prizes of $150 or s200 are offered.
 The programmes for tonight and to- morrow night promise to be even more brilliant than the one last night and no doubt the big tent will be filled both nights The success of the show Is as- sured.

 he said. ''I didn't know you wanted the
 fruit stand. I said, You know that stand was mine; that I have been three years there. and when l was ready to put it up you came and told me that Dock Satterfield told you l was going to have that fruit stand, and you met me outside of my place and told me. T came to see if I can sell you cigars said, Yes. l want cigars" and you said,
 How many do you wantY' l said,
 About S15,'' and you said, That won't /be enough: you will want more than that" said How much time will you give me if l buy any more?' and you said, q will give you thirty days time.
 I asked you to give me sixty and you said Come up to my place and l Will fix 1t all right" That same day the city inspector stopped me from putting up the fruit stand. MT. Burnett said, The Greenwood boys want the stand and they trade a whole lot with me- The next day Mr Satterfield came to my place and gave me my money back for the license, and when he gave me the money back he said ''I don't want you to be mad with me- I would not mistreat you TOT nothing I like you as well as Il do my own son. but in this case l canIiot help it." He said. "R. D. Burnett Is an all derman and has got friends and can do me a whole lot e sarm if l don't give that fruit stand to him or those boys.
 MT. Satterfield told me as soon as the saloon fight was over he would let me have the stand back.

SHE QUIT But 1t Was a Hard Pull.

It 1 hard to believe that coffee will put a person in such u condition as 1t did a woman in Apple Creek, 0. She tells her own story:
 "I did not believe coffee caused my trouble and frequently said l liked 1t well l would not. and could not quit drinking it but was a miserable suffer- tration for four years.
 "I was scarcely able to be around. mad no energy and did not care for anything. Was emaciated and had a constant pain around my heart until I thought l could not endure 1t. For months 1 never went to bed expecting to get up In the morn- Ing 1 felt as though l was liable to die any time.
 "Frequently I had nervous chills and the least excitement would drive sleep away, and any little noise would upset me terribly. l was gradually getting worse until finally one time 1t came over me and 1 asked myself what's the use of being sick all the time and buying medicine so that I could indulge myself in coffee2
 "so I thought I would see if l could quit drinking coffee and got some Post um to help me quit. l made 1t strictly according to directions and I want to tell you that change was the greatest step in my life. It was easy to quit cof- fee because I had the Posuim. which I now like better than the old coffee. One by one the old troubles left. until now I am in splendid health, nerves steady, heart all right and the pain all gone. Never have any more nervous chills, don't take any medicine can do all my housework and have done great deal besides

CHRISTIE RUNS IN
 NASHVILLE TODAY
Local Motorists Will Assist in Making Success of Christie Day at
 the Fair.

In the interest of Walter Christie. who is to appear at the fair grounds with his 135-horse power racing car on automobile day. October 16, Will liam Pickens will arrive in Birming- ham today. He will complete arrange ments for the racing programme, work ing with General Manager Barnes to make the afternoon the greatest of the fair.
 The worlds record car and driver are now in Nashville, where a trial against time will be made tomorrow. Mr. Christie has almost entirely re- covered from his serious accident at Pittsburg, September 10, when Ray Reinertsen was killed. and he almost lost his life in a smashup on the track He feels that he is more than ever qualified to drive the fastest of any man in the world because of the lesson this accident taught him.
 Autoists around Birmingham are working to help make the day sue cess and are planning to entertain the inventor driver royalE while he Is here MT. Christie is the only Ameri- can WnO ndS ever COnlcolSu III iohSc, Germany, Italy and England, and as he is strictly a professional he has always been hailed as the truest type of sportsman. A famous French writer said the only man that approached him in this respect was Sir Thomas Lipton, but even that famous man had tea to advertise.
 Auto racing has always been fad with the rich. W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., attained some fame in this line, but has retired. FoXhall Keene followed the footsteps of Mir. Vanderbilt, as also did a number of other prominent million aires after the sad, death of young Dick Croker in the Florida beach races two years ago. MT. Christie alone, of the rich amateurs, continues in the game, and he is able to do so because of the mathematical science he makes use or in his driving.
 Anto day at the fair will have an additional attract On in the motor cycle races which are to be put on under the direction of the Birmingham Notorcycle club. Many of the fastest machines will be seen in these con tests.

There developed a heated argument as to whether his evidence. as included in his affidavit, should be heard. Tillman averred that Fit was merely hearsay testimony, dou- bly secondary evidence, and should not be heard.
 Walker Percy said q think my friend will make a mistake in trying to keep too close to the rules. MT. Burnett is on trial before the bar of public opinIon and I think it would be a mis- take for him to object to any evidence which would throw light on the sub jeot

ticklish topic as matrimony, is de-
serving of the highest praise;
That DR.. Frank F. Keller, the new
assistant chief of the Bureau OF
Health, is already jumping the

Doctor Keller is simply wild

That the new deputy health officer

in his hair and a halo of plated rat
tails about his alabaster brow;
And that on the pedestal shall be

That the old bald eagle Stocker

Charles N. Fowler, chairman of the
banking and currency committee. He
states that the banks have loaned
more and more money until now the
reserves are only 9.92 per cent of de-
posits, as against 1913 per cent of
1885. 1t is not reasonable to suppose
they could then be able to send out
the large amounts Immediately want
ed for the movement of gigantic
crops.
Finding themselves unable to fur
nish this money, they have tried to
do the next best thing. They have
created a circulating medium to pro-
vide for the shortage of cash. In
speaking of this money, Fowler says:
ct may be said that these forms
of currency are contrary to law. Yes,
but necessity knows no law 1t is
unlawful to break open your neigh
boris house, but if you know 1t to
be on fire it would be your duty. not
withstanding the law, to hammer
down the door, rescue the family. re-
move the contents, and, if possible,
save the house.
"That is the commercial situation
today, and the bankers and business
men are going to disregard the law
and save the business of the country
from utter ruin by issuing enforced
current credits in such form and
quantity as the occasion requires,
trusting that congress will be wise
enough to pass such laws as will pre-
clude the same necessity in the flu
ture.
can issue of credit currency ade-
uuate to meet the requirements OF
trade and currently redeemed in gold
coin is the permanent cure to which
we must look. This principle is fol-
lowed by every civilized country in
the world except our own.
