There was a presence, more impos- ing than that of Lord Baber, beside his honor in police court yesterday af- ternoon. This was none other than his grace. James, Grand Duke of SuIli- van. The room seemed beautifled by the august presence of the nobleman and as the lofty brow and stern visage were turned to the swarm of prison CTS who were called. the varlets grow a,led before the dais and smote their Ehead. upon the floor ana wept for very

 New York. Dec. 23-The World says today: -u say Everybody who wishes to see rac- ing next season will have to buv n grandstand badge. or remain outside Of the local race tracks There will be no field stand for the next two years. This has been decided upon by the Jockey club stewards.
 The Jockey club stewards believing that they will enter a new era of the turf next season. have determined to build from the foundation up to es- tablish the sport. In order to build correctly. and to keep away from the dangerous shoals of reform they have made the move

ARREST OF LATIMER
GOVERNOR OFFERS REWARD OF
 @1OO FOR IT.
Alleged Murderer of ". c. Williams In Russell County Now Has Total of $500 Hanging Over
 Head-Im Negro.

It was announced from the ofice of Governor Conner yesterday afternoon that a reward of $20O had been offered for the arrest and conviction of As' berry Latimer, charged with the T11ur- der of W. c. Williams of Russell County. This reward comes an an ad- dition to one of $1o0 previously of fered at the time of the murder.
 Latimer, it Is alleged in the com. pany with three or four negroes, went to the house of Williams at night, and calling Mir. Williams to his front door, shot him down. They then went through the house and took away everything appearing of value to them.
 At the time of the killing much in- dignation was aroused, and the citi- gems of Guntersville subscribed $500 with which to reward the person ef- fecting the capture of Latimer and his gang. The State reward of $2OO will make $500 for the capture.

RED CROSS STAMPS
SWELL FUND TO GRAPPEE WITH
 TUBERCULOsIs.
There Were 2,B2B of the Little Brown Coins Realised the First Two
 Days Of Sale In
 MOntGomefy.

Pennies count, and as they pile up. the little brown coins make dollars. And so, penny by penny. $2b.25 has been contributed by the shoppers of Montgomery to help swell the fund for the fight against tuberculosis. There have been 2,525 of the Red Cross stamps sold from the counter of the Montgomery Fair. the distributing point for the city. The number rep resents the sales of the two days dur ing which they have been offered to the people of the Capital City.
 The project of raising a tuberculosis fund by the sale of stamps at 1 cent each was begun by the Chicago Tuber- culosis Institute, and has been inaug- urated in most of the larger cities of the State. The stamps are placed on sale at some busy point, where the shoppers, hurrying to and fro, can see the stamp counter. and where the ap- peal for aid In stamping out the great white plague Is brought forcibly to the attention of every passerby. And l cent is so small. so insignificant that none begrudges the expenditure of the little coin But 1 cent counts more than they think, say the thankful tu- berculosis fighters. and the cents have piled to enormous amounts throughout the country.
 Montgomery has taken well to the stamp sale, and has cast its quota of pennies into the tub berculosis treas ury The sale continues throughout the Christmas shopping season.

 The large increase of this seasons 8 cotton crop over last year in this sec- ton Is indicated by the report Of the gins. One of Tuscumbia's gins re- ports 1000 bales against 1900 for last year, while. the other shows 1000 against 800 for 1907. an increase of 800 bales. This is a much, heavier in- crease than was expected and Is due in a large measure to the unequalled fine weather which prevailed from tho middle of August to the middfe of Mo- vember.
 The prevailing price of corn and meal in this city Is hardly under stood by the consumer. Corn is sell ing at 90 cents. and meal at sis tiere being little or no change in the price notwithstanding the crop Of corn has been gathered.
 It Is the general opinion that meal win be quoted at SIPS 10 si.5o befare next seasons crop.

Few lovers of baseball realize the meaning of tho word nerve" on the field. says an exchange. The general impression seems to be that the man who appears to feel he can defeat the opposition, and has no hesitancy in saying SO is the one possessing nerve.
 While it is good thing to have con- fidence in ones ability to do cerfaln things that are required to. win games, there is more to the meaning of the word nerve than this alone.
 If the man who fears the opposition and realizes it's strength and knows he must be able to give his club the best he has to win. can go in and triumph. he must be given credit for possessing real sand"
