Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 7.--(Special) Here at Southern League headquar- ters little credence is placed in the report that Mobile will succeed shreve- port.
 President Kavanaugh expressed sur prfse at the report from Mobile to the effect that conditional sale had been already made subject to Mobile being able to sever it's connection with the Cotton States League.

 Theatre.

Al Fields sFanstreIs at Montgomery Theatre.
 Al Field builded well when he reor- ganixed his famous minstrel com pany. He has assembled great singing company and even the pessim- ist must admit his inability to recom- mend any changes in the program, which goes up and down the entire register of mirth andI melody. Money is not spared in the scenic effect, but money could not assemble such com pany except through, years of constant training and retainnaent of the men who have made Al Field famous and whom Al Field has made famous.
 This year MT. Field started out from his home town in Columbus. O.. with a show brand new in every particular, except for some of his performers whose names are by-words to every lover of the black face comedy. He introduced novelties that have attract cd attention, he has caricatured a pres idential candidate in humorous man. ner. The comedy. which Is so neces- sary in a show of this kind. is pushed along by Billy Clark, Doc Quigley and Harry Van Fossen. to say nothing of Field himself. Y

chorus that the first thrill of pleasure stirs the cookies in ones heart. MT. Field has worked for years to develop a singing chorus that will have all of the essential qualities of choristers and soloists. He has succeeded well. Paul LaLonde deserves much of the credit for the splendid work of this depart ment of the show.
 The real fun starts when Sec. Tafiie arrives in the Philippine Islands as the guest of the natives. His speech at the banquet is in MT. Fields charac- teristic vein, and is full of references to matters of national interest. The fun comes to a climax when Sec. Taf- de puts on gloves to enter the ring for a bull fight. The incongruity of the scene Is such that the entire house was convulsed with laughter.

BOB JONES TALKS TO LARGE CON-
 GREGATION.
IncIemeut weather Makes Little Diff ference to Those Whe Flock to AuditOrium to Listen
 to the Evangelist.

Despite the bad weather of last night an audience which almost filled the lower floor of the Auditorium, heard Rev. Bob Jones preach an excellent sermon on reproof, and at the close or the service twenty-three persons came up to the altar and signified their m tention of becoming Christians. Last nights converts brings the totaf con- verted during the stay of the evanse- list to nfnety-five.
 The subject for the night service was He, that being often reproveo hardeneth his neck. shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. The preacher divided his subject into four heads; first. reproof by word; sec ond. by a special providence; third, py consciance, and fourth, by Holy Spirit:
 Under the first division he spoke Of reproof by written word, and reproof by the spoken word. as sermons, m which the preacher calls attention 10 the sins of the community and urges that sinners repent and turn tnelr faces toward Christ. He warned his conrregation of 6 reproof by the pun isI,ments of a special providence, ana told of the awful punishment that IS meted out, by our conscienees' Wnlcn will not let person rest untl ne mas made a confession of his sin.
 Tn the morning service the good at- tendance of the past week was again repeated and the preacher talkec upon the hook that was to be opened at the Judrment Day when every person ahould hear the deeds of his life upon this earth, and answer the record. i.
 Here again the subject was divided into fou- divisions. the first of wnicn was the book of tears, which he saio God kept and the punishment Of the man who had caused the tears by his persecution.
 The second book was that of re- rner1brance, in which the good works ana deedS of man were noted and ac- curateiy kept The third book was that of deeds. in which every deed Of man was kept Lastly he--called attention to the book of life in which was re- corded the persons whom Christ would recognize-the persons whom he would nlead for on the Great Last Day.
 Services will be held this morning ana evening at the usual hours. The evangelist will remain in the city un- til Thursday night. at which time he will take part in the prohibition meet ing.

Work on TerminaIs Abandoned.
 The anti-railroad legislation has caused the postponement indefinitely of the plans of the Atlantic Coast Line to build extensive freight termi- nals in Montgomery.
 The plans had all been prepared and the work was to have begun this Fall. but officials of the Coast Line say that 1t is impossible now to tell when the work will be started.
 The present general office building in the old Graves residence at the head of 1ailapeosa street. was to have been torn down. The building H perched on a genuine island about DO feet above the tracks. which have been graded down to level with the street on each side of 1t.
 This mountain of dirt was to have been graded to Q level with the tracks of the Belt Line leading from the shops of the Coast Line in West Mont gomery into TaIlapoosa street and up on that street to the present local freight office at the corner of North Court and Taliapoosa streets. After the land on which the present general office building is located had been graded. work was to have been begun

TRADE PROPOSED ELECTION.

LAKE CITY, March 11:-Mr T
Rogers of Latta paid Lake City
his regular semi-montbly visit
last Sunday. These visits will
cease during school vacation.
Mr. II D Noise, an attorney of
Sumter, was noted here recent
ly.
Chicken-pox is IN town, con-
sequently some children are not
going out much for the present.
Mrs Fannie Lee, whose home
is at Scranton, is here with her
daughter, Mrs W E Carter.
Mention was made recently of
the fact that the Southern Con-
tracing Company, which was
building our sewerage system,
had gone into the hands of a
receiver. The surety of this
company, the Atlantic Bonding
Co., having requested it, the
commissioners of public works
OF our town are arranging to go
ahead and complete the work.
Mr. A H Olmstead, who is a
thoroughly competent and re-
liable engineer, has been placed
in charge and the work will be
prosecuted with as little delay
as possible. Negotiations are
pending with the Reinforced
Concrete Pipe Company of Jack
son, Mich, TO manufacture. the
pipes needed to complete the
system, and Mr. MertZ, the FORM
er superintendent of the South,
ern Contracting Co., may be
retained to look after the ex.
cavating, laying and connecting
of sewers, etc. AS has already
been stated, the town will not
lose d cent by reason OF the
failure of the Southern Co., and
if the commissioners have the
authority, and this is being
investigated right now, to pay
the local debts contracted by
the company in the prosecution
of the work at this place, no
one here will be out anything.
1t IS of vital Importance that
the system be completed and
started up to running before
warm weather and to that end
every effort will be directed and
with confidence that the con.
sumation will be reached with
time even to spare.
Mr. W H Covington, better
known as clamp" Covington,
was in the early part ofthe
week for the first time in more
than ten years. His home is
now in Pensacola, Fla.
We are informed upon good
authority that thirty one gallons
of liquor came here Saturday
on train No. 81. Where the jugs
and cases were to be stored
until called for was a problem
for the agent. This may seem a
big thing and may furnish
material for argument to those
who favor the sale OF hquor;
but think a minute. Thirty-one
gallons at $500 per gallon,
which is a high estimate as to
price, is $1,000. What is this
when compared with 100000
worth, which the dispensary
more than once sold in a day?
The officer who makes a single
move through personal motives,
or in order to injure another
whom he would rival, is scoun.
drel and sooner or later his
rascality will been uncovered.
Thare is talk of an election in
our county on the liquor question
under the "Carey-CotEran" act
In fact, there is a movement on
foot to get up a petition right
