MEETING OF STOCK BREEDERS
 IN MONTGOMERY BEARS FRUIT

One night during the latter part of the Montgomery State Fair in October. a party of the most prominent horse men in this section of the South held a meeting in the. rooms of the Fair Association on Commerce street, for the purpose of making a compact organf- zation of the breeding industry of this section of the country The leaders in the movement were Messrs. W. F.. Gath of Huntsville; Louis McCurdy Of Lowndesboro: W. l.. Mooney and Frank Fuller of Hermitage, Tenn; Major smith and Mcqueen Smith of Pratt yiIle. and others. Some of the best horses that ever raced on the grand circuit 'wege bred on the stock farms mentioned above,
 Those who attended the meeting re- alized that if compact organization were formed, it would result ina great good to the breeding industry or the South.
 This movement culminated In eau for a meeting of all parties in any way interested in the light harness horse to form a permanent organization, me meeting will be held at the Hiiimah Hotel, in Birmingham, at ID oeioch' Tuesday, January p, and an invitation to attend this session Is now neihs

mailed throughout the South by W. F. Garth. Chairman of the Montgomery meeting.
 The object of the proposed associa- ton is primarily to stimulate interest in breeding and developing the light harness horse. both tretter and pacer mot for racing purposes alone. but for the carriage and show ring as well.
 The southern Fair Circuit has all ready done much to arouse interest along this line. The racing at the fairs In the circuit has been the prin- eipaI amusement feature, while the open air horse show held in connection with 6 number of these fairs has pro- ven a popular feature and has created new demand in the South for the light harness horse,
 One of the objects of this new as- sociation will be 10 cooperate with the fairs in the Southern Circuit and en- courage the offering or colt stakes for Southern-bred horses. An organization of the kind propes- ed can unquestionably be of much ben eft to the horse interests of the South, and 1t is expected large representa- tive body of men will be in attendance at the Birmingham meeting.

 Pursuant to a bill of complaint filed yesterday in the United States court by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, Judge Jones granted a re- straining order, temporarily prohibit- ing Joel Donaldson of Coffee county from prosecuting a suit in the justice courts of that county against the rail- road company for rentals for the use of the water of certain pond or lake in Coffee county.
 Although the Coast Line had con- tract with Donaldson for payment Tn exchange for the use of the water, 1t is alleged in the bill. the Coast Line recently became aware the property on which the lake Is situated Is part of the railroads right-of-way, it being claimed an error In the description of the right-of-way was discovered in the deed by which it was formerly conveyed,

Is It Known.

There are probably parents who are not aware, that we carry a stock of boys fine shoes such as are acknowledged to be the finest in the land.
 In years gone by, we remem- Der how difficult it was to please the eye and yet have the neces- sary wear.
 A man would buy a pair for his boy and look to the wearing quail ities, but when some were shown to mother, while she was not un- mindful of the wear, more often than not, even if she bought them was not pleased with the bungle- someness of the shoe.
 That has been overcomes by many manufacturers and today we can find boys and little gentle mems as the smaller sizes are calE- ed; which combine the wearing qualities, coupled with style.
 This is essentially so with the fine line we are trying to bring to the attention of interested ones.
 All of which is true to 8 certain extent with those we sell at pop ular prices,
 We have a big stock of boy s shoes at the present time, hund- reds of pairs in our basement wait ing to be transferred to the main stock.

LewysIatorn Young Men.

"One of the noticeable things about this session of the Legislature, sala a man who has attended four sesslohs in sueeessions, as he stood looking at the organization of the House yester- day. lis the fact that the average mem her is much younger than he used to be-. I don't know whether It is case of the men growing young because they are living in the most salunFious climate on earth, or whether the younger men of the State are putting in to the lawmaking body. But the fact remains that, as you can see there are very few really old men tn ths House this year The predominant ing face is of the youthful aggressive, active type of man. don't know how others may view the change, but IL is a pleasing one to me

House. May Take Recess.

There Is every probability that the two houses of the Legislature will, af- ter today's session to canvass the vote for State officials that was cast at the recent election, adjourn until next Mon- day. The purpose of the adjournment will be to give the two presiding ofti- cers, Lieutenant- Governor Gray and Speaker Martin, time to prepare the lists of committees for the two houses.
 This task of arranging the commit tees in such manner as to permit of each member working on the subjects in which he is most interested. and in the consideration of which he may accomplish the most for the State and for the administration. Is no easy one.
 Many of the leading charmanships are, of course, tentatively determined
 upon now, but there may be changes in
 any of them, to permit legislator who

The biggest lobby and the only iop- by that has been strong in numbers IS the frank lobby of the Anti-saiooh League, There are also one or two we'll known men who arc supposed 10 represent the liquor interests of Ala anna. who are seen occasionally in the lobby, but they were greatly outnum- bered, on the first day at least, by the ministers and laymen who are identi- fled with the work of the Anti-saloon League, Something of 8 fight is prom ised' on the general local oMtion act which will be presented to the Leslsl@- ture.

Is ROSE A PROFESSIONAL?
Standing of the Great Athlete VIII
Be Investigated.

New York, Dec. 27-An interview
with President David Starr Jordan of
Stanford university was published Sun
day, in which Ralph Rose was charged
with professionalism.
''If he is a professional, and Presi-
dent Jordan can give the evidence,
Rose must at once be disqualified from
the American Athletic Union" declares
President James z. Sullivan.
In q letter to S. s. Peixotto, president
Of the Pacific Association of the A. A.
u, Mr.. Sullivan says in part:
''If DR.. Jordan has been quoted cor
rectly, wherein it is stated he claimed
Michigan has hired professionals, such
as Ralph Rose, it is serious charge
against Rose and one that should be
felt by him. Rose is now competing as
an amateur simply because he has OBJ
tanned from the Pacific Coast asSocfa-
ton a card emitting him so to compete.
But, if he was a professional before en-
tering or after entering Michigan. or at
any other time, it is our duty, 1t Is your
dutv and 1t is the duty of all A. A. q.
members to see that his card is can
ceIed and see that he does not compete
as an amateur in the future.
Therefore, will you make it your
business to call on President Jordan,
and if he can give you enough evidence
to satisfy your committee, then by all
means cancel Roses registration card?
THAT portion of the interview which
refers to Ralph Rose, is the only part
that affects the Amateur Athletic Union
of the United States Rose Won our
championship, and is now competing
for us. and if he is a professional we
don't want him."

A GOOD FIGHT CARD.
Memsic and UnhoIz and Flynn and
Barry Matched.

Los Angeles, CALI Dec. 27.-A jan
uary fight programme has been ar
ranged by Manager McCarey of the
Pacific Athletic club which is of more
than ordinary interest. In view Of the
fact that future fistic enrertainm ents
in this city are limited to ten rounds
by a recent ordinance passed by the
city council, McCarey has become
very active in arranging several short
fights instead of a few long ones as
heretofore.
The first January bout will be be-
tween George Memsic (JimIny Burns)
and Rudolph Unholz, the South Afri-
can lightweight, on January 8, the
weight to be at 135 pounds. Unholz
is said to have a. good record includ-
ing a knockout over Cyclone Thomp-
son in eight rounds Memsic and I'm
holz started training today. Jim
Flynn and Jim Barry have been
matched to go ten rounds on January
II, the winner to meet Sam Langford
some time near the end of the month.

MORAN SPEAKS UP.
Inc Little Fighter Declares He. Will
Surprise the Public

Surprise the Public.
San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 27-From
present conditions, a clear day on New
Years Is about all that will be neces-
sary to make the Attell- Moran fight a
success, both puginstically and finan-
cfally. A record crowd shoI,Id attend
the go.
The question of weight is a thing that
the fight fans puzzle considerably In
this case. however, there seems to be
reason for believing that the two feath-
er weights are making the 122-pound
nSure easily. Moran, who is somewhat
m1ned at the suggestion that his pro-
spectfve opponent is either heater or
mercer in the ring than he is, hints
that he has not been seen at his very
best yet in San Francisco, and that
therefore the fight followers hereabouts
are not in a position to Judge.
L knew that Attell was watching me
closely in my go with frankie Neil,
and who knows that he saw me fully
extended?" said Owen. II didn't have
to parade everything I know on that
occasion"
meet Attell.' said one of the listeners,
with a wink.
That's got to be shown. too.". said
Moran Il tell you one thing, though.
If Attell is as clever as they say. people
will find that I'm cleverer than they
thought. I always fight better when 1
have to. Like every one else when I
find I can master a man 1 drop into a
rut.
ct know just what's coming, and
know how to block him and punish
him. When 1 have a fellow in front
of me who keeps me guessing though.
I'm there with both hands. The more
he Furnishes me, the brighter 1 get.
know have to watch him and trot out
everything have up my sleeve.

His clean life in public and in the
home, his clearneSS of conception, his
poise of character, his conservative
courage and his great ability have
long appealed to us.
His love of the people, from whose
ranks he came, the faith he has ever
manifested in American Institutions
and in the Republican principles. his
ripe experience in public affairs, the
support he has given President Roose-
welt in the senate and in his present
high office, and the memory of the
confidence and affection in which the
late President Mckinley held him,
lead US to declare MIN great ana
broad and brave enough to deal with
the new conditions now before the
country.

confidence in his wisdom and his
patriotism, and promise him in return
