The Fourth of July Game.

From the AIabamian News, pub
nshed at Carrollton, Ala, we learn
that the people of Pickens county are
making elaborate preparations for
the Fourth of July ball game in this
city which is to be played between
picked mines representing Lowndes
and Pickens counties. The Alabam-
ians are coming strong, the team
which is to represent Pickens being
selected from strong clubs at Gordo,
Reform, Aliceville and Carrollton,
and it is expected that fine dia-
mond battle will result. The Alabam-
ians will come 10 this city on a spe-
cial excursion train, and the return
home will be made late in the even
ing, the regular east-bound train on
the Montgomery extension being held
for that purpose.
The club which viii represent Co
lumbus will be the best nine that can
be selected from this city. Mr.. Jean
Muslin will have the management of
the team, and he has selected as his
team mates the following players,
who are expected to report at Lake
Park diamond every afternoon after
next Wednesday for practice: Swan
son, Simcox, Sutteth, Mcleod, Plum
mer, Divelbiss. Moore, Landrum and
Rathbone. Muslin will pitch the
game and Simcox will do the receiv-
ing while the lineup will not be
finally determined until after the
practice.
The game is to be a monster ben
fit for the Columbus club of the Cot
ton States League, and every cent,
except the division Of the proceeds
which has been agreed upon for the
AIabamians, will be applied for this
purpose. It is expected that the
stores will close. and the celebration
of the Fourth will be general, allow
ing every one to attend the game.

Judge Edings, who has been looking
into the Municipal Act for flaws, an.
nouneed yesterday that he had found
the defective spots in the bill and would
file the papers necessary to bring a
test suit probably today. The suit will
be in the nature of an injunction
against the County Clerk to prevent
him issuing proclamation of election
under the new law and a mandamus
addressed to the Board of Supervisors
ordering them to call an election under
the terms of the present County Act.
.'The matter of preparing the papers

perhaps tomorrow in time to file them.
There will be plenty of time to have
the matter brought up and have deci.

An explanation of how the Legisla-
ture came to put the qualifications for
voters in the new act as they did was
given on the street yesterday by one
who helped pass the measure. When
the bill was drafted, under the direc-
tions of Senator Lane, it was at first
proposed to have the election in Oahu
at the off years, between the elections
for the Legislature. Consequently the
voting qualification was made to avoid
the necessity of having new lists pre-,
pared. the act specifying that the lists
of the previous election for Senators
and Representatives should be used, in
this case throwing it back two years.
The Senate intended to kill the bill,
but kept it alive through the first two
readings to please Lane. Then, by a
kinll in the calculations, the measure
got through, but amended so as to bring
on the elections at the regular time. The
amendment left the qualification clause
as it was, however. Hence the mixup.

GOVERNOR FREAR
AND HIS REPORT
Mere Compilation of Reports
Are No Longer
Allowed.

Governor Frear is making good prog
ress with his annual report. He has
completed the manuscript under some
ten or eleven titles, and has material
arranged for others.
Under new regulations, the Govern
or IS report can not, as was formerly
sometimes done, be made up of depart
mental reports, or of papers or theses
on particular subjects connected by a
few Introductory paragraphs, like a
string of beads. The report must be
written wholly by the officer making
it, and in so far as the information of
departments is concerned it must be
the writer's own summarization. This
is following out the effort begun some
time ago of attempting to keep down
the mere volume of official reports, to
make them shorter and better consid-
cred, and therefore more useful.

MADE
Democrats Name Their
TWO-COnvention
Delegates.

Throughout the city the various
Democratic precinct clubs held their
nomination meetings, in good many
cases the nominators limiting their eff
forts of the numbers allotted them for
each of the conventions, making the
elections week from last night only
the matter of the casting vote of the
secretary.
All was not harmonious, however, rs
in some of the precincts, notably the
First of the Fourth, where there are
enough in the field to fill the necessary
list twice over.
So far as the lists could be secured
last night, the nominations are:
Second of the Fourth.
In the Second of the Fourth the fol
lowing were nominated TO attend the
county convention, and from this list
five will be selected on Thursday next

In the Third Precinct of the Fourth
District the meeting of the Democratic
Club to nominate delegates to the Ter
ritorial. county and district conven-
tions, to be chosen at the primary next
Thursday, was held at 1925 Young
street. E. c. Rowe was elected pres
ident of the club in place of w. c.
McGonagle, who had resigned on ac-
count of absence on the mainland.
The precinct is entitled to five dele
gates in the Territorial convention,
and the following five we're nominated:
f. C. Rowe, w. s. Edings, Charles L.

COVER OFF.
BROWNS PLAN
Ex-Sheriff Viii! Try to Force
Himself Again on the
Ticket.

There is no longer any doubt but
that wing of the Republicans intend
to force the party to accept Arthur NJ.
Brown again as the candidate for Sher,
iff if it can be managed by hook or by
crook. The repeated denials on the
made to other prospective candidates
and others can be regarded in the light
of developments as having been given
in political sense only. Brown wants
to run. He wants to be at the head
of the Police Department and have his
friend John Catheart at the head of the
County Attorney S department.
No open announcement of the candi.
dacy of Brown has been made; none is
expected. He is in the running, how
ever, and-his wire stringers are busily
at work
Judge Kaulukou was given Brown 8
personal word that he would not be a
candidate, but he is beginning to get
suspicious John Wise also got next
yesterday and made a desperate rush
for Charley Achi s Office for legal ad-
vice. He found the two Coxs there,
one of them signing the roll of the
Labor party, and there was a confer
ence.
Willie Crawford, who is trying to act
as if he had the whole Chinese vote by
the queue, is one of the principal Brown
workers and he is looked to to bring
all the twelfth delegates to the conven>
tion for the ex-sheriff. Then he will
have as much right to loaf around the
police headquarters as he used to do.
His present hangout around the County
Attorney s office is good one, but
there are the stairs to climb.
In the meanwhile, politics of differ.
ent sort are under way The announce
ment in the Advertiser yesterday of the
possibility of j. f. Morgan running for
the Mayoralty and contesting the nomi-
nation contest with Hustace and Lucas
brought the matter up to a plane where
the business men could take hand
and there was more earnest political
talk about the city yesterday than there
has been so far during the campaign.
Morgan IS name brought out others as
possible candidates. Fred l.. Waldron
being mentioned with a good deal of
approval In the meanwhile neither
Hustace nor Lucas have let up for a
minute in theirs csWassing and both
appear sanguine of landing on top at
the convention in spite of whoever may
appear, including each other.
During the absence of Ed. Ingham,
with Link McCandless, on Maui, his
name has been announced semioficially
as the man the Democrats intend to put
into the field against the Republican
nominee. 1t is claimed by his party
supporters that Ingham is a business
man of good record and executive abil-
ity and worthy of election to the high
est Office in the city.
Other Democratic candidates an,
nounced themselves yesterday. Fred
Turrill is willing to quit tallying sugar
to look after the vouchers in the Audi
tor s office, stating that in trying for
the office he will not be crowding
Charley Rose out, Rose having told him
that the Deputy Sheriffship was about
his size.
Altogether the campaign is quicken.
ing into life and the sitting process
among the candidates is about to COM
mence.

POSTAL RECEIPTS SHOW GAIN
Dawson POstoffice Broke Previous
Records With Receipts of 3d.
600 for Past Quarter.

The receipts of the Dawson post
office for the three months ending
December 81 were the largest in the
history of the Office for a similar
period.
The figures for the months of Oc-
tober, November and December, eX-
elusive of the money order and reg
istry departments, were $2,987.25,
and for the same quarter of 1906
were $2,147.54, gain of $S39.71.
The items of which these figures are
made up include only postage stamp
sales, newspaper postage, box rents
and incidentals.
The postmaster's report is an eX-
cellent register of the city's growing
business. This, together with the
great increase of work and business
caused by the splendid rural delivery
system that daily serves the country
people, has made more clerical help
in the office necessary, and Wednes-
day Postmaster Lewis received notice
from the department at Washington
authorizing the employment of an
9th clerk. Mr.. Roy Crouch was
given this position.
The postoffice employees are now

This is a compliment that is well

ginning of the new year declared
a semi-annual dividend of per cent,
and passed a handsome sum to the
surplus fund.
Mr.. McLain, the new president, i'm
mediately after his election began
the discharge of the duties attached
to the important position. The in
stitution of which he is now the
official head is Dawson's youngest
bank. It's career in the banking
field has been little short of remark
able. Beginning only five years
ago with some of the leading bust
ness men of Dawson as stockholders

ton, and this reputation has been
maintained and enhanced each sue
ceeding month.
In selecting Mr. McLain to pilot
the necessarily intricate and COM
pick duties connected with the presi-
dency of the bank the directors of
the City National have given splendid
evidence of their acute business
acumen and judgment. Mr.. Nc
