OPTIMISTIC LETTER
q. w. NIAGARA WRITES TO PRESI-
 DENT ROOSEVELT.
He Says Convention Held In Atlanta Was The Most Remarkable Gathering In History or
 Cott0n Industry.

wasbinrton. Nov, 14.-President Roosevelt today gave publicity to Iee- ter he has received from c: w. Macara' president of the 1nternational feoera ton of Master Cotton Spinners ana Manufacturers Association, dated at Manchester. England, November 6.
 The letter speaks in most optimistic terms of the future of the cotton tn- dustry in the United States ana or the benefits derived from the Atlanta con yention and the Southern tour or the members of the federation. The letter in part follows:
 "The convention which was held at Atlanta on october 2, 8 and g, was the most remarkable gathering ever held in connection with the cotton industry, as 1t embraced representatives or American and European spinners of the cotton exchanges of the world and or the cotton planters of the southern States of America. It undoubtedly marks an epoch in the history Of the cotton industry.
 JAS stated in your letter, the ln- ternational Cotton Federation aims al the promotion of stable conditions throughout the world for the cotton industry and I feel certain that it Is impossible to over estimate the benefit which may accrue to one of the great est international industries by the frank interchange of opinion which took place at the Atlanta convention.
 '"rhe opportunities afforded of receiv- ing and imparting information through out the Southern States, must also be productive of great benefit. both to pro ducers of the raw material and to the cotton spinners and manufacturers. we certainly found wherever we went in the United States that great l changes are being inaugurated, and we have returned home feeling that your | wonderful country possesses wonderful resources in many respects and espe- cially in regard to the production of cotton. We believe our visit will have in some measure stimulated the cotton planters to cake fuller advantage of their splendid opportunities.
 We shall always remember with pleasure the hearty welcome accorded to us wherever we journeyed. The hospitality and kindness of the Ameri- can people were overcoming.
 "Our chief regret upon leaving the United States was that we had not the honor of meeting you whose services to humanity have evoked so much ad
 miration through out the world"

School Will Re Located at Nashville and the RoarA of Trunfeen win Extend Work in
 South.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 14.-It was an- nounced here today that at the next meeting of the Trustees of the Pea body fund which will be either in this city CT New York within the next month, grant of $1.000.00 will be made for the establishment of a teachers college at Nashville in connection with the Peabody Normal School of that city.
 Dr. Samuel 4. Green, secretary of the fund, stated today that the grant to the Nashvilla College had been de- layed owing to technical differences between the trustees and the State of Tennessee and the city of Nashville. These differences, however, have been adjusted through the efforts of Rich ard Olney and Joseph H. Choate, a special committee of the trustees. ap- pointed to take charge of the matter.
 We have gone into the plan of mak- ing grants for education in the South,' 2 pr. Green says. which was the main purpose of the fund in the mind of the founder, The plan is something along tho same lines as the Carnegie grant" The Peabody fund has been main- tained for some years at about 25,O00. It was established by George Peabody the London banker.

MOBILE TAKES IT
M. Nj, I. BOYS WIN BY SCORE OF
 50 TO 0.
aIontgomery High School Bested at Vandiver Park in One-Sfded Contest--Forward Pass
 Worked by Visitors.

Tn a one-sided game at Vandiver Park yesterday afternoon between the Mobile Military Institute and the Mont romerv High School, the visiting cadets won by a score of 50 to O. A small crowd witnessed the contest There were many interesting fea- lures to the game, particularly the working of the forward pass py the cadets. They scored their first touch- down in two minutes of play on for ward pass from Spottswood to Sim mons. A few minutes later a series or end runs and another forward pass again put the leather over the goal or the High School boys.
 The cadet team was considerably heavier than the High School boys, av- eraging some twenty pounds to the man, and their team work was espe- ciallv good. The High School boys have had but little practice together, and in addition to being handicapped by weight shad but few ground-g gaining plays. It was generally remarked that the defensive play of the High School boys was good, under the cir cumstances.
 The star for the High School was Lee Betty. who tackled in terrific man. ner. and on several occasions, with a little better interference. would have made substantial gains. and once might have gotten away for a touchdown. Atkinson also played good game at right tackle. The backfield for the High School also displayed splendid ability on defense, but the lack of or ganied plays prevented their making any material gains.
 The cadets had many trick plays, and few of them failed to gain.
 The lineup was as follows:
 High School-Gordon. C.; Egge, R. G.; Gilmer, L. G.: Atkinson, R. IT.; webber, L. T.; Fitzpatrick. R. E.; Collier, L. E.; Betty. Q. B.; Stratford (Capt), H. B.; Washburn (Man.). L. H. B.: Eckles. F. B.

gressman Burton went down despite the fact that he was supposed to have the backing of Taft and the admins tration.
 It is we'll recognized that Cox, who is now the undisputed master of the situation here, can cause Taft no end of trouble, and from the tenor of his recent interview, many believe that he Is going to get revenge for the de- feat brought upon him by Secretary Taft two years ago when the latter, on the eve of the Cincinnati fight, which resulted in & Democratic victory, said in A speech at Akron that if he was in Cincinnati he would not vote for a ticket backed by Boss Cox"

MIR. COX IS CAUSTIC
CINCINNATTs REPUBLICAN BOSS
 AGAINST TAFT.
His Most Recent Utteranees Are Civ ing the Friends of the Ohio Candidate Considerable
 Anxiety.

Cincinnati O., Nov. 14.-(Special. )-- The publication of an interview given ont by George B. Cox of this city, in which he made some gay and airy passes at the Taft boom and the Roose. welt administration. has caused the Taft
 people in this section deep pain.
 They remember, of course, that Sec retary Taft on one occasion gave Cox
 kick in the ribs that sent him into
 retirement, but they have been perfect
 ly willing to let bygones be bygones-
 since Cox is on top once more-and the
 statements attributed to him were re- ceived with great surprise. His alle-
 gation that the notable victory of the Republicans in Cincinnati had been achieved "without the endorsement by the county organization of Secretary Taft for President" and that he had not heard any talk within the last | thirty or sixty days of the elimination of Foraker," caused a distinct shock, as did his breezy references to Nick s | father Jaw" referring thereby to
 Hon. Nicholas Longworth, member of | Congress- and to Hon. Theodore Roose- welt. President of the United States.
 The Cox interview has had the effect of clearing up certan mysterious om- issions in the conduct of the Republi- can campaign in this city. While the | convention was presided over by Con- | eressnan Longworth. he was not called
 upon to take any part in the campaign
 and throughout the fight no reference
 was made to national issues. The fight
 was made and won on purely local
 questions and it was a Cox victory Now it is clear that he intended 1t tc be so and that he had no desire or in- l tentfon of dividing the honors with either Taft. Longworth or Roosevelt That he believes neither of these gen. tlemen had anything to do with tho result is shown by his caustic com
 rnent on the Cleveland race, where Con-

Carmichael Bill Reaches Senate
 and Real Prohibition Fight Is On

The real fight on the prohibition bill is now on. The opening gun was fired yesterday afternoon when Senator Teasley secured a brief postponement of consideration of the Carmichael bill which has been sent over to the Sen- ate after it's passage in the House.
 From the opening of the fight, the anti forces have believed that the Sen- ate was the battle ground for them. Their efforts were turned toward the Senate and now the matter is up to the upper house. before the Committee on Temperance.
 It Is understood that the two-thirds majority for the prohibitionists Will be secured only after the hardest kind of a fight. As the matter now stands the antis are perhaps the favorties.

 Senator McWhorter chairman of the Committee on Temperance, called a meeting of the body for yesterday af- ternoon. The meeting was short and barren of results.

 There was no opposition to his mo- tion to this effect and the hearing will be held at that hour in the hall of the Senate.

Negotiations Are Now Under Way, For
 Baseball Franchise of Mobile
 in The Cotton sstates.
 Selma, Nov, 14-(Special)-F fn- formation received here 1t is thought that the owpers of the Mobile franchise in the Cotton States League would like to sell that franchise to Selma. This information was received here in a let ter to man who is trying to put club into Selma next summer.
 The letter from Mobile stated that
 the owners of the franchise in that city would rather sell the club to Selma than to any of the other cities which
 are trying to get 1t. But the contro-
 versy over the Mobile franchise which
 is now as to whether that city will be
 allowed to retire from the membership
 of the Cotton States League will prob-
 ably affect such a transfer. Selma has been making several ef- forts of late to secure franchise in the Cotton States League. If the Mobile stood that Selma will try to get in the league if it's membership is increased
 to an eight club organization at the December meeting.
 But whether a franchise in the Cot I ton States League Is secured it is cer- l tain that the lovers of the game In | Selma will see baseball next summer. | | effort to form a new league which if it | is formt will embrace in it's member | ship cities in the northern part of the state.
 l The question of base ball for Selma | next summer is being looked after by l a well known business man who takes l considerable interest in the sport. He | had interested a number of the lovers | of the game in the matter, a stock com | pany will probably be formed and all | stock paid for before the spring months | arrive.
 | At present the idea of forming the l new league is occupying the attention | of this man. If the league can be | former an effort will be made to have | it composd of clubs in eight cities. l The cities mentioned so far are Selma, | Anniston, Rome. Chattanooga, Hunts | vile, Gadsden. Decatur, Knoxville, | Bessemer. Ensley and maybe Birming- ham, as 1t is believed that city would | support a club in another league if
 the dates of games did not conflict with
 the dates of the Southern League club. If a baseball club is secured for | Selma 1t Is understood that the electric | car company will build a good ball park on Broad street near Elkdale Park. The man who is working upon l the club for Selma has stated that the management of the car line has pro- posed to build the park if a team is secured.
 If base ball is had in Selma next summer there is no question that 1t will prove a paying investment as it has been several years since Selma had
 base ball and the lovers of the game
 in the city are anxious for the sport. [,

Mobile paid 1t and Mobile has not been doing anything like the big talking that Chattanooga has afflicted the Southern League with for the past four years. It's now up to Chattanooga. If they want the franchise, they have only to pay for it. If it has been a big case of bluff with them all these years, their hand is called and they should fade away in eloquent muteness
