Chicago Wins Again.

Chicago, H., Oct. 10.-The De- troit American League team suf- fered it's second successive de. feat at the hands of the Chicago Nationals this afternoon, scoring only one run. Chicago tallied five times, four of the runs being the results of solid hitting. Siever started to pitch for Detroit, but the locals took kindly to his curv es and batted him out of the box in the fourth inning. Killian then took up the work and he was found for three hits and another run in the fifth.
 Detroit tried vainly to break through the Chicago defense. Reulbach pitched strongly in the opening innings, and when he showed signs of weakening in the fifth and sixth innings his teammates came to his rescue with fast double plays.

A Splendid Play.

Congratulations have been ex. tended even from the clergy to Manager Fred c. Conrad and Eugene Moore for their prOduc- tion of Monte CriSto." Mr. Conrad is using the same pro duction for his engagement at the Opera House Thursday, Oct. 17. In the words of one Congre- gational minister, the acting was straightforward, spontan- eous and remarkably free from cheap stage mannerisms which spoil good scenes. The custum- ing was in good taste and the scenic effects excellent. The product is remarkably free from all objectionable features. It is pleasant to record this praise in contrast with the cenSure that must be given to many vicious plays.

 The team continued to Elm street, where it turned east at the school house. At the railroad crossing the two hind wheels of the wagon were dropped, and with the two front wheels the horses continued to the court house where they were finally stopped.
 The driver is badly hurt. His head is mashed and bruised. and is internally injured.
 One of the horses is seriously damaged, and the wagon was practically demolished
 The team became frightered by some loose blanks which were on the wagon running against them as they came trOtting down the hill in front of the Methodist parsonage.

Library Talk No. 6.

This morning about II o'clock as H. E. Bemis, the general manager of the Ozan Lumber Co.,, !, drove up in front of the Bank of Prescott, apparently in a hurry, the News man caught his atten- ton as he was alighting long enough to put the question:
 Mir Bemis, what do you think about public library for PrescOtt?"
 Why, its all right. a good thing How are you going to get it."
 With money," we replied.
 Is there any chance of out side help in the natter"
 No, Mir. Carnegie hasn't con sidered us. although he was ad- dressed on the subject months ago. The question is now up to the citizens of Prescott"

Hot Springs Ships Ore.

Hot Springs, Oct. 10. The first carload of lead, zinc, silver and copper ore, representing the in auguration of mining as an in dustry of this section, was ship ped from here this morning, when 10000 pounds of ore valued at S1 40, consigned to the Ameri- can Smelling and Refining Com pany at Pueblo, Col, was started on it's way
 The mine from which the ore was taken is owned by Hot Springs capatilists, chief among whom are NJ. A. Eisele, former superintendent of the Hot Springs reservation; w. H. Mar tin, member of the firm of Greaves X Martin, attorneys and the Housley Bros. It is located about 20 miles west of Hot Springs.
 The ore was hauled to the city by wagons in 100-pound sacks. The next shipment will probably be made via Amit, Ark, and the Caddo Gap Railway, connecting with the Iron Mountain route at Gurdon, which will save traction by horse over bad roads.
 Immediate measures are to be taken toward increasing the mining facilities. A steam hoist and larger steam pump will be installed.
 Letters from the smelling company say that the ore is very promising, and that it will be gladly handled by them.
 Mir. Eisele stated today that upon his observation he based an opinion that the deeper the shaft

There is a material property question involved in the radical step proposed by those seeking to force prohibition on Jeff ferson county. Under the law when a railroad takes a mans home, his land or business property for the public use, IL pays for the same either by agreement or by condemnation proceedings. Not so with the prohibition advocates. Wholly disregarding the question of property rights. they fall upon prosperous busi- ness community and by an appeal to blind fanaticism. prejudice and bigotry under take 10 destroy millions of dollars or property at the ballot box.
 Here in Birmingham hundreds of men have been invited to come and invest money in d licensed business. Ii is con serVatiVely estimated that the property loss to these citizens will be close to S2. .000 n00. This estimate takes into con sderation the resale of the stocks or liquors in the event that the town-killers shall succeed in their efforts.
 In the pride of building city with metropolitan appointments the future was largely discounted by investments in splendidly appointed establishments. 1t Is

who above all others should have free dom of petition to the king. and should be considered in voting Since our power is a trust, and these are they for Wh om we are trustees, shall we not give serious and potent consideration to any representation they may feel called on to make to us in their own behalf?
 The great trouble about this matter of womens rights is that they will not exercise the rights already theirs In influencing the ballot. When they show themselves competent to do what is already within their province they may be entrusted with other powers.
 The coming prohibition election will be fine lesson for the education and training of the electorate. Men Will feel directly the veal of the public good as they go to the polls. and wili become thoughtful and serious; and experience has shown that we need training in these public duties
 This election is going to be worth all and more than it will cost Tn an educational way alone. Nothing so sobers men as to feel responsibility. Nothing so educates men as an eN- perience under the full weight or ooli- gation. If the state wants an eou- oated citzenship, let it exercise them in the functions of citizenship. The King is made kingly by the exercise or royal ,,reroeatives under the full weight or royal responsibilities.

LABOR LEADERS ARGUMENT

There Is not d city in Georgia that pays the same wages, works the same hours that Birmingham does. and because we workingmen know this. we don't want q Georgia standard of wages and hours, where the day starts at sunup and ends at sundown, nine hours being the short est work day in Georgia. Sl .25 to s4 for all kinds of a day. and these rates for me- chanes. The rates in cotton mills (and we understand Mr Covington owns stock in these mils) are $1.70 for 66 hours per week. Knowing all this. we workingmen absolutely refuse to either bite or swal- low Mr. Brooks Lawrence and Bishop Candlers scheme. and either directly CT indirectly assist in paying dividends OH coca cola.
 Workinemen All Over the World Ad-
 vocate Temperance.
 Several workingmen on this committee know personally the officials of the biz labor unions of the United States and Canada and also of Europe, and especially of France England Germany and Aus tria-men like Burns, Crooks, Hardy, Rebel, Singer Vollmar Adler, Anseelo. Daszinsky Jaures, Herve-who have had much experience in tine conduct of la- bor organizations, industrially and polt- ically. as any men can have and not one of these advises prohibition. If there is one in the United States or Canada who does we would like to know him.
 We do know the heads of our various national unions, men like Huber, Spencer, Gompers, Lynch, Lennon. Morris, Per kins O'keefe and others. but all of them and the national organizers of every or ganization as well, advise and teach tem- perance in the way of being temperate personally, and that with more success than all the Brooks Lawrences. Seanorn Wrights, Covingstons, Gamblers and so forth combined, because their advice is practical and disinterested.
 Are Moral Citizens.
 The yorkingmen on this committee claim to be just as moral and law-abiding citizens as any on the opposite commit tee. or their advisers. We have no money to buy property for speculation. have no stock In any corporation. we are not fanatics. but plain. practical, hard-headed men, who must earn a living for our fam flies, educate our children, and we refuse to be swept off of our feet by sentiment and emotion. We know that 1t takes money to pay our teachers to buy our groceries, dry goods. shoes. books and medicine It takes money to pay our rent and keep up the installments on our homes. We know that any cessation of work tends to make 1t impossible to do these things
 We do not blame anyone for differing with us or for doing the best he can for himself, we only desire to be fair and just to all. and to settle this question for ourselves In our own way to our best interests, without the aid, the sugges- lions and the meddling of outside interests and outside people. who do not know us, and to whom in case of trouble and dis tress we could not appeal for help.
 The abridgment of any personal liberty is contrary to the spirit of American cit izenship.
 If any of the prohibtionists wish to dis cuss these questions in a public debate we are willing to furnish workngmen to meet them at any time or place, Very re- spectfully, l.. E. DoLloN.

Mss, October 6.-(Speeial) )- Great interest k being manifested in the approaching games of football to be played at Lake park in this city next Saturday afternoon when teams from the University of Alabama and the University of Mississippi win battle for supremacy. IT. B. Dent, manager of the Alabama squad was in Columbus yesterday mak- ing arrangements for the contest He js not yet able to give his full lineup but speaks most hopefully of his aggre- gation. He says there is every probabil- ity that this seasons team will be much stronger than the one Alabama put on the field last year. Reports from Missis- sippl are hard to get. but as they have many friends here who are backing them 1t is safe to say they will deliver ev- erything they have to their opponents A large crowd will be on hand for the battle.

THE PROPERTY QUESTION

proposed to destroy this property with only GO days notice
 Two breweries paying out large sums here for labor and fuel are to be closed by the town-killer, this when there is every effort being put forth to get in- vestments and pay rolls for Jefferson county.
 If those who claim for themselves many of the attributes that are in the making of uprightness and moral rectitude would abide the golden rule in the property rights involved and would by some equit- able provision provide by taxation for the taking over at a fair valuation the property that will be practically de- stroyed. if prohibition is established here, there would be a modicum of justice at least in their propaganda.
 Commercialism is not criminal unless the law is violated. Even tainted money has been known to work for the uplift- ing of the fallen f the charity that has come from the $2000,00o of values which those advocating prohibition could find a voice and q vote there would be no need to combat the wild Mad Mullah" state ments and appeals to prejudice already launched in the present issue.

thought that we shall be at the point of death, we would make better use Of time. We would realize that time is a gift of God, and like other God-given gifts, to be used for God. And how do We use time well? By doing what our right hand finds to do and doing it with all our might. We are not required to do heroic deeds, we arc not required to be ever and always rehecting on death, and ever and always keeping before our mind thoughts of gloom and seriousness. our hand, our duties in the here and now. There is a story told of St. Aloysius
 When he was a novice of the Society of Jesus, he was one day engaged in play with other young men. The question arose what should be done if for each death would certainly come in an hour
 One said he would at once review his past, make a fervent general confession and get absoluton from all his sins. Nay sa i'd Aoysius, I would continue the game
 And he was right. If we do well our duties of the here and now we are doing we'll the will of the Almighty Let Us then each from the gospel of today take this lesson, to use time well. and we will use time well if we think occasion ally of our last end. If we do so, we shall, when we be at the point of death, look back on life well spent in Gods ser- vice. We shall see then that we have finished the work God gave us to do, and for the rest there remains an eternal crown to be given by the just Judge.

Birmingham. Ala, October |. 1907 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In the local papers of September 20 and 3l there was published a report of Mi Seaborn Wrights speech on prohibition in this city and at Bessemer. in which lie makes certain charges. which to say the least are unfounded aud show that Mir Wright labors under load of misappre- hension to the stand of working men on this question.
 Workingmen on Campaign Committee. There are Ii men on that campaign con- mittee who are bona fide working men. union mon of Ii different organizations. and a great many more can be and vii, be put on that committee if it is necessary to do so. and those that are on that con- lnittee are well enough known among working men in this district that any tag ging by occupation is not seeaea.
 Are Taxpayers. But Not Property
 Owners.
 We arc not 10 per cent capitalists. but men who own property. pay taxes, are voters and refuse to let some property sharks come along. make property and wages go down, then buy ours and our fellow workingnen's s homes up for a sons. We know that there are hundreds who arc paying for their property on the install ment plan the only way worltingmen Of today with high prices on all living eN- penses are able to own or get a home, md the least disarrangement of indus trial conditions will make ns laboring men lose the labor of years, the savings ac- cunulated by all kinds of denials of com forts and pleasures of a lifetime for wbatF TO give the prohibition real estate shark and fanatic chance to get our property.
 Labor Officials Not Prohibitionlsts.
 As far as we know there are no labor leaders but officers selected for their fit- ness for certain work, and there are none who advocate prohibition. All of them advocate and advise their fellow working men to be temperate in all things. and the very principles of organized labor are opposition to coercion and force in any thing, especially in the individuals per sonal desires and tastes. Prohibition de- priVes an American citizen Of the right to think and do as he pleases. So long as he does not take away or injure the right of his fellow citizens, he should not be eoereed Ii seems that all of this agi- tation Is Just to satisfy some imported preachers and speakers in the fanatical field who can not control their homes with their ideas. and wish to put them in practice here.
 Workingmen Need no Guardian.
 We worklngmen know as well, and per haps better, than MT. Wright does. who makes and supports this and any other city, and because we do know we do not need a guardian appointed in the person of MT. Wright or MT. Coyngton. whose insults to our wives are here resented neither of whom do we know as friends to organized or unorganized labor. judging by the past.
 Beautiful words buy no bread or silks for our wives and daughters.
 Effects of Prohibition on the Wage
 Farmer.
 Prohibition cuts wages and lengthens hours. Prohibition has been rampant i'll Georgia for some years and has hurt every city where it has been in force.
