SUCCESSFUL, MEETING
ALABAMA LUMBER MANUFACTURE
 FRS ASSOCIATION ENDS.
Manufacturers from Various Sections of Both Alabama and Florida In Attendance and Discuss
 Important Matters.

Pensacola, Fla, Aug, 14-(Spectal)- The most successful and largely att tended meeting of the Alabama Lurn- Der Manufacturers Association to be held since It's organization, was that which convened here yesterday. Manu- lecturers from various sections of both Alabama and Florida were in attend ance, and the discussions during the two business sessions resulted in much good.
 The lumbermen, as a rule reported that lumber of high grade is selling at a very satisfactory price, but that the difference in the prices of high grade and inferior grades is too mark ed, and the latter should command a better figure than that which Is now being received. Uniform classification of lumber was also discussed at length and some steps will be taken at the next meeting to this end. Notice was given of the introduction at the next meeting of a resolution changing the name to the Florida Alabama Lumber Manufacturer's Association, owing to the fact that the Florida manufacturers compose about half of the membership.
 The visitors were entertained during the afternoon with a ride about the harbor, a visit to the life saving sta tion, where fish chowder was served and a bath in the gulf enjoyed.
 Another session was held late last night when Montgomery was chosen as the next meeting place. large number of new members were added to the roll, and at the next meeting many others will join, as under the new rules adopted brokers can become members of the association.

TRANSFERRED GAMES
COMMENT AROUND THEE CIRCUIT
 ABOUT THEM.
Papers Abroad, and Fans at Home Talking of the Course of the
 Management In Going - to Atlanta.

The transfer of the Atlanta games and the glaringiy fragrant injustice that is Is. being done the Memphis club ob around tho Southern circuit Below Is given an extract from the Birming- ham News:
 gomery series is creating a deal of talk and some have taken the stand that a great inducement was offered by . Atlanta in giving the Montgomery grandstand admissions
 This is nothing but what should pc done. according to the financial plays a transferred game in another city that. team receives the benefits of the home team In other words. when the Montgomery team opns in Atlanta on a transferred series 1t sustains the same position from a financial point as if 1t was in Montgomery. Atlanta, according to the financial arrange meft Is l..e visiting team.
 As is known. all home teams get half Of the gate receipts and all of the grandstand admissions. Montgomery, while fin Atlanta, will be the home team percentage as If the team was in Mont gomcry. It Is true that more money will be made but the percentage to both clubs will be the same as if At lanta played in Montgomery
 Billy Smith, receiving the visitors portion, will make more by staying in Atlanta than by going to Montgomery and receiving the visitors portion.
 'The rules of the League govern this proposition and Atlanta has offered no indictments except that the attend ance in the Crackertown will be larg1 CT. There is no iuducement offered in percentage.
 It is given as reason for the trans- fer that the staud in Montgomery has blown down. This occurred Monday night and the Nashville club has been playing in Montgomery since.
 Rather funny, Nashville can play there but Atlanta can't
 Tn nutshell. the Montgomery club wants the money and the Atlanta club wants the games. hence the trans- fer.
 Atlanta wi1 turn out larger crowd than Montgomery. An advantage is thus being taken Of the Memphis club"

Telegraph Operators Leave Keys AS

Telegraph Operators Leave Keys AS
 SympathiEers of strikers.
 Marion, August 14.-(Special. )-The operators of the Western Union. and Postal Telegraph Companies closed their keys yesterday. Neither Of the operators is a member of the union, and work on commission, but say they sympathize with the strikers and will not work with a scab.
 But little use Is made of the wires here at this season and little or no inconvenience is felt, but 1t is con- centrating the patronage with the telephone company which will hold good to a great extent even when the telegraph offices are opened up.
 The temperance people of this coun- ty are somewhat balled up over the recent act allowing an election to be held thirty days after the approval Of the act by the Governor Thus far the probate judge has not succeeded in getting the date of approval and 1t Is now a mooted question whether the election would be legal under the law
 The bill provides that If prohibition carries it is to take effect January 1, 1909 This was an agreement reached by the prohibitionists and the friends of the dispensary, there being no bar rooms in the county, the dispensary advocates agreeing not only not to oppose the prohibition movement but would support 1t if made to take ef- feet at the time above noted.
 It Is not understood why the time for holding the election was made so extremely short, and now that there is trouble in obtaining date of ap- provaI it Is believed by some there is a "nigger in the wood pile" There is no question but that the county would vote prohibition If given an op- portunity, and 1t was strongly urged that bill be passed ordering an cleo ton to close up the dispensaries No vember l.
 If it develops that there is yet time to hold the election under the act passed an active campaign will be made, and such temperance leaders as Lawrence. Ssab Wright of Georgia. pr. Crumpton and possibly two more temperance members of the Legisla- ture will be invited to take part in the canvass.
 Local ministers are already putting in their work. Dr. Crumpton will preach the dedicatory sermon of the New Hopewell church in West Perry next Sunday and 1t Is expected that he will follow this with temperance canvass in various sections of the county.

From "A Df.gusted Fan.

 Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 13, 1907. Sporting Editor The Advertiser, City.
 Dear Sir:-The papers today inform us that the three games which were to have been played here with Atlanta this week have been transfrred to that town, adding that MT. Chambers re- ceived some very flattering conces- sions' from the Atlanta representative. If the fans here are not already dis gusted with the management of the local club, they will be when they hear about the transfer of these games.
 Tt shows conclusively that the man. agement here is in for the money and nothing else, caring nothing where-the home team stands in the percentage column at the end of the season It is a well known fact that the home team has the advantage over the visit ing club and it looks very much like a sell out especially since Atlanta needs games badly now to put her on top at the finish.
 The management will find that they have made a big mistake in transferr- ing these games, for there is many a disgusted fan who will keep away from the ball park for the rest of the season.
 This is written with the hope that you will publish 1t.

Police are Puzzled.

What to do with a trunk full of women's and children's shoes, which had been stolen and which were recov- cred by the police officers of Decatur d few nights ago, is a question that Is giving the police department of De- catur, no small amount of concern.
 The shoes were found in a negro house of the city and as yet no owner of the shoes has been found. Nearly every shoe dealer in the Decaturs has examined them, but no one has been able to identify the shoes as their own:
 During the past day or two several railroad detectives have been here and examined the shoes and have been try ing to find the owner, but up to this time they have failed.
 It is believed that the shoes were stolen out of a car in the railroad yards here along with lot of other stolen stuff, which the police have recovered during the past few days.
 Almost every day new evidence IS found by the police, in the shape of stolen property, to prove beyond doubt that a band of organized negro thieves have been operating here for some time past. Several negroes have been arrested and 1t is now believed that the band is broken up, but at the same time it Is believed that there are many other stolen goods which have not as vet been located and it is also believed that there are still more negroes, who have not been arrested, that are impii- cated in the many thefts that have been committed.
 It Is expected that other arrests will follow, within the next few days,

About Tuesday's Farce.

Referring to the farce that so dis gusted local fans Tuesday The Bir- mingham Age Herald says:
 While the special from Montgomery dealing with the game yesterday after noon is not specific, 1t contains enough that there was a farce, indeed, in the Capital City, and that the Pretzel spec tators had enough to disgust them that Montgomery. in addition to waIsh and Weems, used as twirlers Perry and Houtz, and that Second Baseman Nye assisted Seabaugh behind the bat.
 What provoked this display of childish humor is not known, but it is known that such ridiculous stunts do baseball little good. and Montgom- cry is not in such a position that evil cannot harm, It's rather serious matter when the fan is disgusted The easiest way to disgust the man whose money makes the game possible Is for a team to indulge in tommyrot and horseplay."

BUSY TIME FOR BOYS IN KHAKI

The second day of the encampment of the Alabama National Guards, 1st In- fantry. was busy one, from the rise of the sun to it's setting. While the work was of routine nature, 1t was thorough and interesting. and the sol diers participating in 1t received an ex- cellent taste of real army life.
 All of the preliminary work of the camp has been completed, and the sol diers are now down to regular and systematic work The tents at Camp Braxton Bragg Conner are laid off ac- cording to the military regulations governing their erection. a fact which makes the camp appear both of hos tile and sheltering nature.
 The camps headquarters are in the same position as the officers quarters

Prominent Men Play Ball.

One of the most amusing games Of baseball that has ever been w1tnesseu here. was the one played in New De- catur yestrday afternoon between two hines composed of the prominent busl- ness men of New Decatur. One nine was composed of tne business men or the west side Of Second Avenue end the other nine of the business men or the east side of Scond Avenue.
 The score was: West Side, l9; East Side. 10.
 Mayor Samuel Blackwell of New Decatur pitched the first ball and the umpire declared it strike, and Mayor Blackwell was then and there declared an expert ball player worthy of the name. Many of the uniforms worn by the players were unique in their make up and caused many amusing remarks. Many of the players hadn't had ball in their hands for fourteen yeiLrs, but in spite of this fact, they played eX- ceedingly well.
 'Sox" Sorber, formerly with-the Bir- mingham nine of the Southern League. pitched for the West Siders, and his work in the box and at the stick had much to do with his side saving the day. "Sox" proved himself to be a rrandstand twirler. and won the ad- miration of the ladies by his graceful twirls from the box.
 Several hundred people witnessed the game.
 A comical parade up Second Avenue before the game was much enjoyed by the large crowd along the streets, and the occasion reminded one of circus day In a country town. "Sox'' Sorber, dressed as a country Ruben, and mounted on a Western burro with his feet dragging the street, led the pro cessior

 During the night a dwelling on Ala bama and Water streets, owned by Nell son Campbell, was totally destroyed by fire. together with all the household goods. barn belonging to MT. Camp bell was also badly damaged. The loss will be about $900, with no insurance. The fire occurred late at night and the occupants of the house escaped in their night clothes, barely saving their lives. For a time it seemed that those who occupied the house would suffo- cate with the smoke and heat of the flames. as they were shut off from all exits, but they finally managed to make their escape. It is supposed that the fire originated from kerosene lamp which was left burning during the night,
 The fire company responded to the call, but it seems that they were un- able to save the building. or at least failed to do so
 The owner of the property, Nelson Campbell, formerly lived in Nashville. Tenn, where he is we'll known.
