WILL GIVE HORSE
 SHOW THIS FALL
PRESENT PLANS CONTEMPLATE HAVING SHOW UNDER CANVAS FAIR.

A number of enthusiastic citizens have under way horse show for the night after the state fair week.
 It is proposed to raise the sum of s10,0 900 in cash and deposit the amount In q bank as a guarantee fund Of this sum already a good portion has been sub scribed.
 The plan is to use canvas for the show in some part of the city easily reached. It has been suggested that the end of Twentieth street, where 1t joins the park would be good location. The space oc- coupled would be block with the show ring from curb to curb, leaving the side walks free.
 With the proper arrangements the finest show horses would be brought here to compete for prizes. The use of can vas will discount the weather. fair or foul, which has heretofore been a handl- cap at the horse shows already held here.
 There are many persons in the city and many visitors will be here who would not be interested in the night entertain ments at the fair grounds during fair week. The horse show is proposed to add interest to visit to Birmingham during fair week and to encourage the delightful sport of competition in the show ring with royal specimens of the paddock, park and stable on exhibition.

FIGHT IS COMING WHEN TIME IS RIPE
DickenSon Talks of Prohibition
 Plans for the Future
ONE COUNTY AT A TIME
pr. Lovelady Will Direct the Cam palgn and Brooks Lawrence VIII Have Little to Do
 With It.

Tt is the purpose of those interested In the prohibition fight to pull it off as soon as we see it is ripe for plucking," said Dr. Dickinson, pastor of the First Baptist church.
 Our plan is to organize anti-saloon leagues and branches in every portion of the county. We purpose to poll the vote as to know just how we stand When we find the sentiment Is such as to as- sure success we will have tho election. IL may be three months 1t may be six months and then again 1t may be two years.
 We Intend to pursue the campaign on distinct political lines with managers. clerks and watchers at all the boxes when the election Is held.
 No. Brooks Lawrence will not be In charge Dr. Lovelady will likely be in control. We recognize the strong pfeiu- dice in the state against carpet bag poi.- ticians and we will have an eye to that.
 Our plan of campaign Is to move on county after county, one at the tlme Talladega Is about to hold an election, and the result is foregone. In September
 
 prohibition will carry three to one. After a number of counties have fallen into ths prohibition column Jefferson will follow easily.
 Those gentlemen who have set their sails to catch the favoring gale in tho next gubernatorial race need not think they will ride the prohibition camel to qticcaaa Tho nrohibittoniata tt,ilI apdorsa no one man, but they do intend to see how all candidates stand on tho question.
 Did you know that there is story going the rounds that when the bill giv- ing the state prohibition was taken from the calendar last Friday and the signs were that it would pass after Senator Car michael's speech, that those who had been actively lobbying for 1t had to hustle to call halt because of salaries and emolu- ments involved.
 'Is that so? Well I did hear that ths legislature was so impressed with the prospects of total prohibition prevailing in the state that they took a goodbye excursion in the garden of Baccus on tho closing day. They so thoroughly drowned their sorrow that there was no more mooI for serious affairs of legislation but merrl- ment and some wanderings of the legis- latve mind ensued together with scn,e confusion.
 And they took away the wilted lei the Womens Christian Temperance [ did they? Well, I guess the flowers nc water"

The cheering was interspersed with yells of "Gray for our next governor King for Mayor of Greater Birmingham" while the band kept playing "Dixie' and "Is Everybody Happy; Is Everybody Glad?"

Resolutions were then introduced by M. M. JTllman who stated that they were compiled by Asa Rountree, but that gen tleman's modesty prevented him from presenting them himself.

 The faeetious person was then made to speak by the crowd, and turned out to be O. R. Bell, a representative of the tray cling men. Mir.

DUKE OPENS
UNDERGROUND
APARTMENTS

London, Nov. 2l.--Whie a group of the
ablest lawyers in England is trying to
oust the Duke OF Portland from his splen-
did estates, the duke last night, as IL de-
flying public opinion, which believes the
Australian claimant, George Hollamby
Druce, to be the true heir to the Port
land millions, gave a lavish ball In honor
of the King and Queen of Spain at We'll
beck Abbey.
The duke for the first time opened the
wonderful underground apartments,
which were constructed at a cost of mil
lions of pounds sterling by the insane
duke, to his guests. The King and Queen
OF Spain danced in the great subterrane-
an ballroom, the walls of which are COW
cred with priceless pictures, while supper
was served in another tremendous under
ground apartment upon gold plate.
All the aristocracy OF England was sum-
moned to honor the Spanish royalties and
danced in the subway ballroom.
The Duchess OF Portland wore the fa-
nous Portland diamond In her tiara and
even the Queen of Spain was unable to
sport such a costly jewel.
owing to a fear OF mythical anarchists,
the duke did not open the mile-long tun-
mel which leads from the gates OF the es-
tate to the underground palace.
The duke entertained 1900 guests at sup
per I'm his splendid underground picture
gallery.
Counselo, Duchess OF Manchester. was
the only American invited to dine at the
royal table.
