TO HAVE AUTO RACES
FAIR ASSOCIATION WILL PRESENT
 INNOVATION.
For First Time There Will Be Auto Racing For Prizes In The City--cups Will Be
 Given,

Automobile races are assured for Fair week. the matter having been decided Saturday by the managers There was for a time some discussion on the subject. but the fact that auto races have never been held here before convinced the promoters that 1t. would be we'll to hold the events.
 Tn idea is not to have two or three high priced racing car owners come here and dope out a race to suit them selves and get the gate money. but to pit local cars against each other. 4As- there are many local car owners who have long contended that their own particular car could outspeed any thing else in the vicinity.
 In other parts of the State there are several fast cars and entries are expected from Birmingham and Mobile. The local agents of several car com panies have expressed desire to enter the races and the events promise to De of the most attractive st the Fair. It has been decided to hold the races Fri day and Saturday mornings and en- tries will be allowed to sign up as late as Thursday evening. Silver cups will be offered as prizes. The fee to com. pete will be nominal. ..

He Had Tried But Failed To Realize On . Bogus Draft On a Nash

With a policeman travelling with him to see that he does not change his mind, A. A. Abbott, the man who did funny things with a draft on Nash ville bank. has been taken to Atlanta to rejoin the United States army. from a branch of which he took Frencn leave at post in New Mexico.
 Abbott presented a draft here week ago to a local bank, claiming he had q, 600 in the First National Bank Of Nashville.
 The local bank refused to come across with any coin, but gave him receipt for his draft. Armed with which he proceeded to buy things at a clothing store and a local jewelry. shop, attempting to pay for the same with checks, which he back ed with the draft receipt. At each store he was turned down and although arrest cd. he could not be accused of steal ing because he had not received the goods. Pending charge of attempt ing to defraud. he was tucked away in the city barracks having been Ia. beIIed a suspicious character

WILL FIGHT CITY
EMPRESS COMPANY OPPOSES THE
 NEW LICENSE.
1zutnal Afa Assoefatios Will Aise 6o Into the Comrt to Fight the
 New License Rsises.

Because the license imposed by the City of Montgomery .s higher than the license they have to pay the State to operate. the Southern Express Com pany and the Mutual Aid Association have refused to pay and will take the case Into the courts. This step adds another worry to the harrassed city council which thought 1t had It's hands full with the kick of the liquor peo- pie.
 IL is said that several other busi- ilesses are dissatisfied with the extent to which their licenses have boon raised and will if their protest Is not needed go to court. too.
 The council will consider these mat ters at the next regular meeting. but whether 1t establishes . precedent by retracing It's steps. or stand pat and see the matter through. Is a question the finance committee has no, ex- pressed itself publicly upon yet.
 One of the members said a few days ago that>in ell probability the cases would go to court, for if the licenses were reduced for one there would be a succession Of petitions and suits from the others that would take a staff of lawyers and couacilmen months to work out. However, he said. in cases where the State license had been in- advertently exceeded no doubt an un- derstanding would be reached.

White SparrotO Alarms
 the Superstitious Negroes

Always having had profound re- spect for that part of Madison avenue upon which the windows of the police barracks frown. /the negroes are now doubly sensitive about the locality since the advent into the vicinity of a white sparrow. Not one of them on the way to police court will look up for fear of seeing the bird. believing that to catch sight of him is the end to all chance of getting away from the wrath of Judge Baber.
 Captain Miles Smith of the force says the effect of the bird on the "ln- terms" in the Chauteau de Taylor has been very beneficial and that a quiet reigns now in the afternoon where before much chatter disturbed the med itation of the officers walking the cloister like halls ruminating on the sins of the world and worldly
