Current Sporting Gossip

the oldest and most fanciful dreamer in the leagues territory.
 Unoniciallv came the report yesterday that this season would not see Owenton college on the gridiron.
 This is d matter for regret Because the team was not very successful last year 1t does not stand to reason that it will fail again.
 Wake up, boys. and get to work. No one factor is greater in the development or a man. or a college. either. than athletics It will be d mistake if Owenton fails to put in an appearance on the gr1dron this year.
 1t is not improbable that Detroit, being at home, will pull Connie Macks Ath- letics again to second place within the next few days
 However, as the Philadelphia crew fin ishes al home. while the Tigers are on the road, the Athletics to win seems the one best bet.
 Pete Lister, former Birmingham and Nashville first baseman, is playing resu- larly with Cleveland and appeared in the Sunday game when the previous at- tendance records in Chicago were smashed beyond redemption.
 It is hoped. and really believed, that Lister will make good.
 The "fans' are awaiting. with open arms, the knock of the football warrior.

HORSE HITS PAVEMENT.
Tries to Lie Down In the Middle of a
 Business Street.

An accident that came very nearly re- sultng seriously. but for the timely aid of spectators, resulted only in embar- rassment to the principal in the case. a well known young real estate man of the city occurred yesterday at noon on Nine teenth street.
 The young man. who. needless to say, is known by his first name to most of the business men of the city, was driv- ing rapidly down the street, his mind To doubt revolving the relative value of different business houses he was passing. His horse, spirited and mettlesome courser, became more impatient of the very reckless gait to which he was being urged by the occupant of the vehicle he spotted a banana peel in the street. near soft spot where the angles of the cob blestones were not so pronounced and laid himself down.
 As natural result of the fall, the shafts of the buggy were smashed, and the harness was jared out of place. A negro man came to the rescue Of he driver, and gently, but firmly grasped the briddle of the struggling horse. He was hurled against number of boxes that were decorating the pavement,
 The horse, at this juncture of the dght, succeeded in placing himself before the cart. and with his frightened and re- proachful eyes gazing into those of is earstwhile master, inquired the cause of the commotion
 The predicament of MT. Driver was cx- tremely precarious, but a number of hi, friends coming to the rescue. the real es- tate man was tenderly lifted from the wrecked vehicle. and taken into near by drugstore and resuscitated.

NEW PHASE OF THE
 PROHIBITION FIGHT
Preachers Lead by Rev Brooks Lawrence Assume Respon sby for Passage of All Laws and Insgaton of Present Campaign in Jefferson County-Are citizens to Have
 No Final Vote on Prohibition Question?

of other callings, interested not only in their work but in the countys growth and prosperity, shall have no final voice in the settlement of this question? Does it mean that this Is the opening through which our preachers shall boldly step into politics with a firm determination to crush and ruin those of us who oppose their policies? Are our own preachers, led by Rev. Brooks Lawrence. of Toledo. Ohio, to enter this battle with this spirit and purpose? From our pulpits are we no more to hear the gospel of love and the gentle teachings of the Master unmixed with the bitterness and unkindness of a prohibition sermon?
 The issue seems to have been forced upon us. and we have a political battle unique and of far-reaching import. We oppose the doctrine of prohibition from both a moral and a business standpoint. We claim that it has been failure ana a breeder of lawlessness in every large city where 1t has been tried, and that in a city like Birmingham and county like Jefferson its failure would be most ap- palling. We believe that 1t would create more crime than now exists, and that its certain enforcement would tend to sing to lower levels our respect and ob- servance of all laws.
 From business standpoint we reel that ii fould be most disastrous. and this opln- ion is shared, we believe. by great ma iority of our business men. We believe that the only solution of the liquor ques- lion. if solution there be. is high license. segregation and stringent regulation. We feel that under these conditions with an honest mayor and police commission our city from a moral standpoint Will pc cleaner, freer from crime, better on m every respect than under a system ot blind tigers, illicit and illegal bartering and selling of vile and poisonous whis- key. One system we will and must have and as business men who have our own. our families and our city's welfare at heart. as men who have done our best to make Birmingham and Jefferson coun- ty great and prosperous. we ask the vot- CTS of this great county to stop and con- sider seriously and well before casting their vote for a cause dominated by wild and unreasonable disregard of the rights. wishes and welfare of the people as manifested at the ballot box.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-09-18

The committee of business men and oth- CTS in charge of the campaign against prohibition in Jefferson county has is- sued the following:
 Did you ever read that local option law we preachers drew up and had pass ed through the legislature? We fixed .t so that we could bring on an election for prohibition this year, an election for dls- pensary next year. prohibition next. dis pensary next, and thus fight on forever until. if they won't give up, we'll break them,"
 We have been led to believe that the sentiment for prohibition in Jefferson county and Alabama was brought into the politics of the state by a demand on the part of it's citizens who were not con- fined to any class, creed or calling. In our fight against prohibition in this coun- ty we have not felt that 1t was preach CTS fight We did not know that the preachers framed and passed the law. We did not know and had no right to sus- pect that it was framed and passed with the deliberate purpose of making the f1ght eternal and everlasting. We had right to feel that If the voters of this county by their ballot said that they did not want prohibitions that in their opinion the experiences and failures in all large CltitS WnlcN nau II uOneStiy duu well, proved 1t to be theoretical hum pug and sham, then the question would be settled and the people allowed to fol- low their various callings without being threatened with another season of tur- moil and strife. We are now told, how ever. by one whom we assume has the authority to speak that the will and ds- sires of the people of this county are not to be considered on this question We are told that it was fixed and lobbied through the legislature and so framed that no matter how badly it was beaten at the polls it would rise again and in a different form conquer or break those who opposed 1t.
 To the thinging men of Jefferson coun- ty who by their work and brains, nave made this great district, who have built
 it's factories. opened Its mines, employed it's labor. built its churches and supported it's ministry. what does this mean Does ; it mean that the laborer. the mechanlc the merchant, the manufacturer ana men
