FORGERY CHARGE
AGAINST NEGROES

Greenville, November 29.-(Special.)-A
short time ago a negro named P. c.
Deming brought two bales of cotton to
town and sold them to Howard 81 Mo
Bride, warehousemen, receiving for them
two checks and the warehouse receipts.
One of these checks, together with the
receipt he carried down and had cashed
retaining the other. Yesterday the negro
came in from his home near Honoraville,
Crenshaw county, and presented three
checks and the accompanying receipts at
the First National bank, using forged
names in them. He received the money
for three bales Of cotton and so cleverly
had he copied the signature of the ware
housemen that the cashier suspected moth
ing wrong
Later In the afternoon Mr.. Howard went
into the bank to get the cotton receipts
and noticed that the marks were different
from those now used and an investiga-
ton followed and it was found that the
checks were forgeres. The sheriff was
informed and ne sent a deputy out for
the negro, reaching the Jail this morning
at daylight. He confessed just before
reaching town and implicated five other
negroes, telling how they had stolen a
receipt book and mad practiced for some
time to get the signature fac-simile. The
five other negroes have also been ar
rested and all are now in jail.

RED MEN net GOOD
sum FROM SHOWS

Bessemer, November 29-(SpeeiaL)-
The Cosmopolitan Shows packed up
early this morning after a most sue
cessful week, both to themselves and
the Red Men, and departed for other
fields, and it is the wish of the Red
Men and others benefited by their COM
ing that success attend them wherever
they go.
The arrangement committee met this
afternoon In the office of George w.
Jones, who is chairman and two hours
were consumed in making ready re-
port to be submitted to the lodge at
their meeting Monday evening. Mr..
Jones stated that the Red Men had
cleared $4S5.37, their part of the pro-
ceeds, to go to the charity fund, and
that this amount would be turned over
at once TO the relief committee, whose
business 1t was to keep in touch of all
those in need, and that this amount
would greatly assist them in the char
ity work they were doing. 1t was
stated that there were families, num-
bers of them, absolutely helpless, that
they have been keeping supplied with
the necessaries of life for some time.
This amount is the largest ever re-
ceived from entertainments of this
character in Bessemer. The ring that
was to be given away to the most pop
ular young lady was not taken out,
as the number of votes cast did not net
sufficient funds to make the purchase.
Miss Lora Gum was the most popu-
lar young lady out of the several con-
testants in the race, getting 80 per cent
of all the votes cast, and the many ar
dent supporters of Miss Gum in this
contest have decided to appropriate this
amount to suitable present to be pre-
scented to this young lady, probably to-
morrow

TRYING TO OBTAIN
SAFETY IN MINES

Washington, November 29.--In the pres

owners and operators, and officers and
members of the United Mine Workers, the
United States geological surveys expert

CLEMSoNS POOR RECORD

The records of the most important

Louisiana, during the season, piled up

With the exception of Jenkins, con-

the S. I. A. A. that made any attempt
at a respectable showing against L. S. u.
Clemson during the entire season scored
but one touchdown, that against Ten

BASEBALL WAVES
AT JACKSON TOWN

Jackson, Miss, November 29.-(Special)
Baseball enthusiasts of Jackson and the
men who have heretofore been the money
power behind the Jackson team, have
served notice on the community that they
are not going to hold the bag any more.
The team has always been in debt, and
will perhaps never get out. The indebt-
edness is not very large-less than $1,000
but it has been carried by just three or
-four men, and they are very weary.
In this connection 1t is worthy of note
that Jackson has lost her manager, Roy
Montgomery, who goes to GAINESVILLE, O.,
next season. Claire, shorstop, who was
signed by Shreveport and later drafted
by St Louis; Miller. pitcher, who goes
to Mobile; aid it is stated that Sail
lard. first basemanh is also to go.

IMMIGRATION FUND
FACES A DEFICIT

Washington. November 2s.-Congress
will face deficit in the immigration fund
by reason of the extraordinary expendi-
lures by the immigration commission,
which has been carrying on It's work
under an indefinite appropriation. The
money to defray the expenses of the
commission has been drawn from the
regular immigration fund.
Last year the commission expended
about $4,000. The drafts upon the i'm
migration fund for this year, thus far,
have been on the basis of an annual ex-
penditure of about 100000.
1t is likely that a congressional in
quiry into the work Of the committee
will be ordered.

COST OF TAKING
THE NEXT CENSUS

Washington November 29.-The cost of
taking the next census. as estimated by
Director North, will be s12.9S0000. The
director says that this is but $4,000
more than the cost of the census of 1900,
and said that this will be accomplished
''in spite of the enormous growth in the
population during the last decade,
growth largely contributed by foreign
born people who do not speak English,
a class which it is very expensive and
very difficult to enumerate."
The increase in cost heretofore from
decade to decade, he says, has been about
so per cent.
Director North favors the appointment
of clerks on the basis of their standing
on the list of eligibles.

ALL ALABAMA GOSSIP
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS.

While We would not dare to risk our
judgment against that of such an ex-
pert as Heisman. especially since he has
established an unquestionable reputa-
ton for fairness, unselfshness and in
difference to the personal quantity. it
appears that even he has erred in not
giving Pratt of Alabama a position on
the all-southern.
To football fans in Birmingham there
are two men who should have been
given all-southern positions by the
unanimous approval of experts. These
men are Mcclure of Auburn and Pratt
of Alabama. The first named has been
given the position without a dissenting
vote. and Birmingham fans are salts
fed. But there are a few who have
denied Pratt such honor, and among the
number are Heisman and Rice.
Pratt is a great runner with the
ball. He is a great force in splitting
opposing lines. On the defensive, he
is a superb end in which position he
was played, and as a punter his equal
has not appeared in the south this sea-
son. Furthermore, he scored more
goals from placement this year than
any other man in the south, not ex-
cepting Hodgson of Georgia. Further
more, one of his goals from placement
was kicked from an angle Al yards
from the cross-bsr, this feat, scored
against the Haskell Indians, having
few equals this season In the United
States.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1908-11-30

Right at this time. we would like TO
suggest that the representatives of
Auburn and Alabama get together
early and arrange a game for next fall.
While, Birmingham had a great sea-
son, seeing more championship games
than any other southern city, the year
was not complete inasmuch as Auburn
and Alabama failed to meet.
We dare say. too. Alabama and Au-
burn also have reasons to regret the
fact that they did not meet-these rea-
sons being financial.
The Alabama Auburn game this sea-
son, preceded as 1t would have been
by seven months advertisement, would
have drawn more people than the 5000
that witnessed the Sewanee-Vanderbilt
battle.
The game is too important to be
placed on the shelf, and the announce
ment of contract signed early would
greatly please the people of the state.
Louisiana has challenged the entire
south for a post-season game. Wander
bilt or Sewanee might profit should
either meet the undefeated Tigers.
The faculty of the University of Ala
bama has agreed to let Alabama meet
Auburn next Saturday, and inasmuch as
that game will not be played the Grim
SON White might attempt to tame the
unconquerable Tigers.
The game in Birmingham would draw
well.

Inasmuch as every man has right
to his own opinion, it would be i'm
proper to find objections to the above
pick, save for this particular-no man
of the Louisiana team, admittedly the
greatest aggregation of the south this
season, is given berth
Louisiana, by Grantland Rice, is rele-
gated to the background for the simple
reason that charges of ineligibility
have been preferred against the team
by Tulane.
Heisman, in concluding his argument
that his selection is the most perfect,
explains his refusal to consider Louis
lana by stating that inasmuch as
charges have been preferred, these
charges must be dispreved before the
Tigers are worthy of discussion.
Heismans belief is based on the
French idea of justice. In America the
simple preferment of charges is not
sufficient to disqualify any man. team
or association. Until the charges
against Louisiana are sustained Louis
lana is certainly the king pin of the
south. and a refusal to give the Tigers
representation on the allsouthern is
ridiculous.
