(Advertisement) Whisky Men and Gamblers

The great cry that the whisky men and gamblers are supporting Captain o Brien for mayor and that he should be beaten on this account is only bosh--it is the euperlative of nonsense when applied to him in the way that his opponents would have the good, Christian, law-abiding cit aSens of the city to accept their slogan.
 Suppose that these classes of our peo- ple are supporting him, would the fact that they do vote for him induce him to violate his oath of office2 No sane man will answer this question in the affirma- tive. Should they throw their influence in his favor, would that induce him to become either whisky lover or gam bler and blind him to the suppression of any evil?
 Some republicans voted for Governor B. B. Conner. Did he become a repub- alcan because of this? Or will he fail to execute the law against the unlawful selling of whisky or gambling because saloon men and gamblers voted for him? Should whisky men and gamblers vote Nor that peerless Nebraskan, Wm. J. Hryan would that destroy his desire for good government and prevent a correct administration of the laws? Such a cry as the quintessence of nonsense. It is an, Acknowledgment of weakness on the part of the opposition, and 1t demonstrates, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the fit ness and qualification of Captain O'Brien pver all others for mayor, since the oppo-

 To those voters, who have not yet espoused his cause-who are not yet fighting under his banner, l beg to call their attention to Captain OsBrien in hfs capacity as a citizen, soldier, man of business. and an officer.
 As a cITIZEN-He stands pre-eminent. We know and determine who is a good citizen, by the great interest he takes in the welfare and upbuilding of the com munity in which he resides. Tried by this standard, 1 defy the opposition to name a man whose record is cleaner. He has ever been foremost in the advocacy of every measure that would tend to the lifting of our city to a higher plane Of morality, of wealth. of education, and when he is inaugurated Mayor he will make her THE GREATER BIRMING HAM in each of these particulars.
 As a SOLDIER-Captain O'Brien en- listed in the Confederate army, when quite young He was in at the start and remained to the close. He performed every duty of a soldier fearlessly, and with credit to himself and great honor to our state.

grand heroes of an hundred battle fields, to shot and shell, and in defense of all that the south held dear, and who, today, are just as ready to battle for good gov ernment and good rule as in those bloody days of yore. Captain O Brien has never asked for a pension but in his candidacy for Mayor he does ask the support of all the good people of the city, and, from their oft-repeated protestatons of friend ship for Confederates, he has right to expect that they will "AID" him by their vote today. The good people of Birming- ham now have an opportunity-and op- portunity that will ennoble every voter, to prove that they mean what they have been preaching, by voting for Captain O'Brien for Mayor.
 As MAN of Captain OBriens record is. too well known to require a repetition at this time. Suffice 1t to say that he has ever been man. whose integrity and honesty have never been questioned. This is fully verified by his manner of settling with. his credi- tors, by paying in full his indebtedness and doing this after he had beeen released from the payment of one-half of the debts. Such an act is seldom done.
 As an OFFICER-Captain OBrien can point with great pride to his administra-
 
 legislator. He performed every duty, without fear or favor, and, because of his efficiency, there was never a complaint from his constituents. When he enters upon his duties as Mayor, the execution of those duties will be fearlessly per formed in the interest of good govern ment, and all law-breakers will receive such punishment as the law directs
 Considering all these facts, l appeal to you by your love for honesty and in- tegrity in man-by your reverence for Confederate soldiers. to whom you owe a debt that can never be fully liquidated- by your desire to see our city become the great metropolis of the south-by your love of freedom and liberty of ac- tion restrained ONLY by the laws of the community-by vour wish for the free ex- ercise of your right of franchise without being questioned for whom you will vote, your answer depending upon wheth- CT you will retain the position you now hold-by all and every one of these req sons I appeal to WORK and VOTE for Capt. Frank P. O'BRIEN.

J, A, ,BUT7ERY SHOT AT NEW DECATUR Ball from the Pistol of Robert
 WiIIcox GOES CLEAR THROUGH BODY Wound Not Necessarily Fatal-Men Meet Late at Night-Result
 Long Standing Bad
 Feeling
GOES CLEAR THROUGH BODY

New Decatur, February 17.-(Speeial )- Late last night J. A. Buttery was shot by Robert Wilcox in this city. The ball entered just above the hip and passed clear through the body. The wound is not considered fatal.
 Robert Wilcox was arrested and placed under a $500 bond by the city. which he readily made. At this time the state has not taken any action in the matter. But tery is at his home in the New Decatur hotel.
 Late last night the two men met on Sec ond avenue, near Monlton street, when the shooting commenced. There are con fllcting stories told as to how the shoot ing started. One story is that Wilcox fired first and that Buttery did not fire at all. Buttery had a revolver, but he claims that when Wilcox fired he ran across the street and, stumping his toe, fell and did not have time to shoot until Wilcox rushed on him and took his pis- tol away from him and struck him over the head with 1t. Buttery has scar on his head.
 Another story is that Buttery fired first. There were several shots fired in all, but most Of them seemed to have been very wild. Wilcox had a hole through his coat which was made by a pistol ball
 Bad feeling has existed between the two men for two years or more. Wilcox claims that Buttery was the despoiler of his home, and some time ago several suits were filed in the courts. Buttery S wife sued him for divorce, and damage suits were likewise filed against Buttery. It is supposed that this is the cause that led up to the shooting lasr night, al- though 1t is said that there was not a word spoken by either of the men when they met.
 MT. Buttery is the proprietor of the largest dry goods and clothing house in New Decatur. He came here three or four years ago and commenced business first in Decatur and later moved to New Decatur He is originally from Nashville and was in business there for some time. MT Wilcox is a mechanic employed in the Louisville and Nashville railroad shops. He has lived herefor number of years and has always been hard working man and man of good repnta- ton.
 Both are men of families and each has several small children.

 Very EIaSsrately.

sition can find nothing in his character as R man or the performance of his duties as an officer to hold up to public scrutiny for their condemnation.
 Coming down to common sense, would the opposition to Captain O'Brien refuse to allow the whisky men and gamblers ito vote for MT. Ward? Since they object to these persons casting a vote for O'Brien, would they also debar them from voting for Ward and thus disfran- chise them?
 The opposition to Captain O'Brien is mot now so bitter against whisky men and gamblers as 1t appears from The Age-Herald of yesterday because the ad- vice of The Age-Herald to the followers of our present mayor Is, Boys, keep your coats on; don't lose your temper, and don't get up PROHIBITION or a DISPENSARY campaign in Birmingham rnow.'
 Coming to the last ditch in the cam paign, they would now appeal to the whisky men and gamblers for their sup port and vote, but it is too late. Med Brace" after indorsing Captain Ward, in the same issue of The Age-Herald, says: s'Prohibition in Birmingham would be a calamity.''
 And this same honest writer, Ned Brace, tells the truth. the whole truth and nothing but the truth when he says, 1n yesterdays Age-Herald, that FRANK O'BRIEN AS MAYOR WOULD CURB THE LAWLESS ELEMENT JUST AS WELL AS WOULD WARD"
 Let the Christians, the attendants upon divine service, the opposition to whisky nnen and gamblers ponder upon these words and be consistent. Let them be magnanimous and discarding this cry pf whisky men and gamblers supporting ONLY Captain O'Bren as being only in- tended to bribe them to vote for his op- ponent Let them, I repeat be generous enough to acknowledge the falsity of this rry, or that it would in any manner n- Huence Captain O'Brien as mayor, and, having discarded it. then compare the two men as to their fitness, in EVERY PARTICULAR, for the office of mayor. and Captain O'Brien will abide their de- cision, because the good people of Bir- uningham KNOW. deep down in the Edepths of their hearts, THAT CAPTAIN kORRIEN IS, IN EVERY RESPECT THE SUPERIOR OF HIS OPPONENT, and would be as GREAT A FOE to the IIAwLESS as any man in the city.
 The race for Mayor of Birmingham is closing with Capt. Frank P. OBrien well hn the lead, and still gaining as the race
