WHY SLOAN'S IMMINENT AND
VETERINARY REMEDIES ARE
THE BEST TO USE.

Let me tell you why Sloan's Lini-
ment and Veterinary Remedies are the
safest and most practical on the mar
ket today In the first place, DIR, Earl
S. Sloan is the son of veterinary
surgeon, and from his earliest infancy
he was associated with horses.
He bought and sold horses while
yet very young. He practised as
veterinary for twenty years, and has
battled successfully with every dis
ease to which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result of
experiments made to save life or re-
lieve suffering while he was practising
his profession.
Any reader, by writing to DR.. Earl
s. Sloan, 615 Albany Street, Boston,
Mass, will receive "Sloan s Treatise
on the Horse, !" free. This book tells
how to treat horses, cattle, hogs, and
poultry.

Alabama Baseball Team
 Had Very Rocky Voyage
Did Not Win Game But Played Creditably-The Reasons offered-What Boys Say About Cancelled Dates With
 Vermont Team, Captain by Negroes.

The baseball team of the University of Alabama returned from it's long and disastrous eastern trip yesterday. The team did not win a single game, al- though it played creditably in all save the last which was won by Brown by a score of 9 to o. The team was tired and disappointed, though not disheart- ened. The members are preparing to go into training for the best southern foot ball team, even as the baseball outfit was the champion of the festive sunland.
 The boys state that they were not out classed save in one or two instances They aver that some of the pitchers pa raded in front of them were among the best in the college baseball world, a few of them having received offers from Chi cago and New York of the National and American leagues, respectively. They state. too, that at times they were a trl-.e in the air, and that the game was lost In the very beginning, before they could come again to earth They state, too, that they suffered somewhat from umpres, one of the indicator holders having admitted after a struggle that the victory should have gone to the south erners. They believe that had the games been played in Tuscaloosa, fair portion or the number would have been won.

TAX ON FOREIGN
 LOANS UNPOPULAR
COMMERCIAL CLUB PETITIONS BEING SIGNED RAPlDLY-COM- MlTTEE GOING TO MoNTGoM. FRY TO WORK FOR REPEAL.

The petitions which the Commercial club scattered broadcast over the state to be signed by those desiring a repeal of the law taxing foreign loan com panies, are being returned to Secretary Babb IF every mail with long list of names to each petition. Advices have also been received from several counties, stating the petitions to the legislature would be presented by the representa- tlves themselves
 The club Is solid against this foreign loan tax law and is determined that no stone shall be left unturned to have 1t repealed. An active campaign for the purpose of working up public sentimnet was decided on after much discussion and IS being followed up vigorously
 MT. Babb states that the rapid manner in which the petitions are being signed leads the club to believe that the pub lie at large is strongly against the meas ure, and that the legislature will rescfnd it's action
 A committee will be sent to Montgom- cry when the question of the repeal of the law comes up. The committee will consist of twenty or thirty carefully se- lected men who. armed with the petitions, believe they will win a decisive victory.
 The standing committees of the club are rapidly reorga nizing and outlining their work for the ensuing year. Plans Tor the entertainment of the Confederate veterans here next year are already being formulated. The determination of the mem bership committee that the club shall have at least 1000 members before the close or their years term has put ginger into the rest of the members. who are hot after new material with the slogan of Join the Commercial club or be a Mollyeodde."

PRATT CITY VOTES
 ON JERE KING BILL
GREATER BIRMINGHAM QUESTION IS BEFORE VOTERS IN PRIMARY TODAY AND SENTIMENT SEEMS TO FAVOR ANNEXATION.

The question of Greater Birmingham will be live matter at the primary to be held in Pratt City today. It has been discussed freely throughout that munic- ipality and appearances indicate that large majority of votes will be cast in favor or annexation. The fact that Pratt City is already bonded to the limit pre- scrlbed by the constitution and that the tax rate cannot be increased, has won many converts to the Greater Birming- ham idea.
 Representative King has set out the following arguments as to why Pratt City should favor coming into Birmingham:
 Pratt City Is in absolute need of sew craze and additional school facilities It cannot issue bonds with which to con struet them; neither can 1t increase it's tax rate. The income from It's taxes etc, will not provide these needed fa- cilities and the only way in which Pratt can secure them is to become a part of Greater Birmingham It is menace to the entire population of the Birmingham district for a portion of 1t as large and damned as Pratt City Is, to be without sewerage. There are hundreds of cases of typhoid fever here every year. which are caused by the lack of proper sanita tion in this district. Pratt City's only hope for providing additional school fla cilities and the installation of a sewer age system lies in Greater Birminghan From what I can see I believe Pratt CItv will vote strongly in favor of annexa- tion.''

We hid our faces and retired to the hotel and remained there at our own expense. We were hooted somewhat by the maddened populace, who were sore at not being able to see the champions of Dixie. It was enough to make them sore.
 Seriously. however, it was natural that we shouldn't have desired to play against negroes. We were criticised extensively. but whenever We encountered a south erner we were congratulated. There was perfect flood of teegrams from personal friends and university alumni praising us for our anti-negro attitude. Many of the boys received letters from their par ents. So happy were they that we didn't go up against the negroes of the east, that we were led to suppose at=their displeasure would have been so great had we played them that the shlngle in the shed would have been our portion on getting again into the land of figs and blossoms"
 From Birmingham the obys scattered to their respective homes in the state. Coach Pollard remained in Essig. Mass, and will not return south until time to take ur the football practice.
