Birmingham Alone of Four Leaders Gets Opening Game Bum Compliment to Pennant Winners-Knocks in Head Enthusiasm Over the Hoistng
 of the Banner

that aggregation paraded first on the home lot.
 To those who will say that it is fair play to change the opening dates about local fans will ask why it is then, that Atlanta is not opening In Montgomery Memphis in Shreveport and New Orleans in Little Rock. Why, in other words was Nashville alone favored of the sec ond division teams and Birmingham alone of the first division teams, sighted so fiatly? From sentimental standpoint the opening dates should have been given to Montgomery, Nashville, Shreveport and Little Rock, because the season was opened last year in Birmingham, Atlanta, New Orleans and Memphis. But a senti- mental reason in baseball is as a senti- mental reason in the business world doesn't stand deuce high. and is an indt- cation of ultimate failure. 1t Is dollars and cents that count, and if Birmingham Is not better baseball town than Nash vile, then every fan in Birmingham will eat nothing during Lent save billiard balls and stetson hats.
 Barring the reason that sentiment prompts, therefore, Birmingham should open the season at home. If Birmingham does not open the season at home, then Atlanta, New Orleans and Memphis should be fed from the same spoon. If Birmingham does nto open the season at home, then the pennant winners Will be given q slap in the face, diseourtesy which, in that glorious season when knighthood was in flower" was resented with pistols and sword thrusts.
 In all of this, nothing to the detriment of Nashville, nor to the detriment of any other city, Is meant. Birmingham thinks that 1t should have the opening game, and that is reason for this plea.
 Because the schedule as proposed does not give Birmingham this opening date there will be a stiff fight before it's adop- tion in Atlanta. The fans expect thelr representatives to have this slur wiped out. The schedule committee consists of President Kavanaugh of Little Rock, President Kuhn of Nashville, Manager Mioue Finn of Little Rock and Manager Charles Frank of New Orleans.

been so loyal. Here it is:
 Captain O'Brien is a most excellent cit izen-a man of courage. honesty and splendid ability. He would make a good Mayor, as he has made good in every po- sition he has occupied in this community" In the same issue of The Age-Herald is presented the following paragraph from the able pen of Ned Brace,' who does not seem to agree with the Ward cam paign chairman in estimating my charac- ter as q man and my fitness as an of- ficial. Here 1t is:
 Frank O Brien as Mayor would curb the lawless element just as well as would Ward There is no better man in this town than O'Brien-as straight as a string. and a man who will hew to the line let the chips fall where they may"
 I have no fear in submitting the esti- mates placed upon my manhood, one by the chairman of the ward campaign com- mittee, and the other by F. w. Barrett, editor of The Age-Herald. to be voted upon today and decided by this citizen ship FRANK F. o'BRIEN.

It would be contrary to all the pet rules of usage were there not promiscuous kicking at 8 baseball schedule which is proposed for adoption. Every city Is ready to find fault. Every fan has a pri- vate grievance. It is impossible to foist an idea, much less a complete document and please everybody Human nature rules that the contrary must be.
 The Age-Eerald's story yesterday morning relative to the schedule that will be proposed for the coming season at the meeting of the league in Atlanta on Fri day and Saturday was discussed on every hand throughout the day, and the major ity of its provisions pleased. It is a sore spot, indeed, however, that the Southern league will be playing Ball and the blear- eyed fans of Birmingham are not wit nesses. It is a rank error on the part of the schedule committee to have the Barons play their first game of the plat at West End.
 The fans are aware of the fact that otherwise Birmingham Is treated excel lently. The season is closed at home. This is a big item. All holiday games are given to Birmingham. This is also big item but favor which, on account of the popularity of baseball in Birming ham, could not have been wisely with held But the fact that the season will not be opened In Birmingham is causing a soreness indeed It Is poor compli- ment to the pennant winning city.
 It has been the custom that the season was opened with games in New Orleans. Memphis, Birmingham and Atlanta. This rule holds good this year, with the ex- ception of Birmingham. In spite of the fact that the Barons are the pennant winners of the league, and in spite of the fact that 1t was the intention of the management to have a ceremony over the raising of the banner, the fans are sore, indeed, at what they term discourtesy. If 1t were necessary to boost Nashville, why under the sun was not Atlanta made to open the season there? It is nothing but right that the team that won the pen nant should be eomplimented by having

 INTO MINERS HEAD
w. J. COOPER DIES AFTER WEEK OF AWFUL AGONY AS RESULT OF INJURY SUSTAINED AT AL TOONA.

With the imprint of the point of a miners pick deep in his head, w. J. Cooper died yesterday afternoon at St. Vincent's hospital after a weeks intense suffering. Cooper is middle-aged man and a miner. He Is the victim of a fight which took place at Altoona Saturday a week ago.
 The matter was kept quiet until his death. He was brought to the city and carried to the hospital in a carriage, and friends have been at his side ever since.
 It appears that the quarrel arose over union questions and that the unknown assailant, seizlng a pick, drove it into Cooper's head. Dr. Presley attended the man here. but there was never any hope of his recovery.

 It is also interesting to note that the United States, which has steadily re- duced it's importations of tin plate from more than 1 billion pounds in the fiscal year 1891 to 127 millions in the calendar year 1906, has now become an exporter Of that article and that the exportations of tin plate of domestic manufacture were. in 1906, ,6Ss in value, against $702977 in 1905, S651 ,774 in 1904 $143 691 in 1902, $51, 614 in 1901, and s31 ,0S2 in 1900. This ex- portation of 1 million dollars worth of tin plate of domestic production Is exclusive o fthe foreign tin re-exported. Practical lY al lof the tin plate now brought into the United States from abroad is re-ex- ported chiefly in the form of cans and boxes containing merchandise sent to foreign markets, it's exporters receiving back under the title of drawback 59 per cent of the sums paid as duty there on. The total quantity of tin plate inn parted into the United States in the fiscal year 1906 was 120. .S19, 732 pounds, and the exports of tin plate of foregn production in that same period were 20,49l.271 pounds, of whlc hall except 57,64S pounds was in the form of cans, boxes, and other manufactured artiles.

NEVADA'S GREAT PROSPERITY

Business conditions were never
so bright in Nevada as they are to-
day.
The lumbermen of the western
part of the State are piling up
wealth at rapid rate, They are
banked up with orders, and are
obliged to turn much trade away
for the lack of time and material to
fill all of them the cattle and
sheep industry is riding on big
wave of prosperity, and the flock
masters are making money rapidly
farmers who were bent under mort
cages three or four years ago have
lifted their debts and have spare
money for investment i'll other
things: every manufacturing in
dustry in Nevada is working to ca
pacity and contemplating all EN-
largement of plants
Rich new mining camps are
springing up all over the common
wealth, and the end is not yet,
Merchants, liverymen, transfers,
and, i'll fact, every one who makes
an honest effort is strictly i'll the
swim. There never has been a
time in the history of the State
when times were 50 good.
As is usual when money is plen-
tiful speculation is carried on in
many instances with great reck.
lessness, but if the spectators arc
wise they will all make a good
clean up, and when settlement
day comes they will be prepared
to meet it and have a handsome
sum Ito the good after paying
their debts. The main thing to dc
now is to keep the pendulum
swinging i'll the right direction,
and this can be accomplished BY
exercising care and in discouraging
wildcat enterprises, while offer
ing every opportunity for legiti-
mate development.
