Howard, ex- congressman from this district was elected president and J.. H. Boiling, as- sistant cashier of the De<alb County bank, was elected secretary and treas urer.
 The people of Fort Payne are fully alive to the effort now being made by the stockholders of the old Fort Payne Coal and Iron company to again revive their holding by pulling capital suf- ficient to induce factories and other en- terprises to locate here. ,,Mr. Howard is now in the east conferrlng with the stockholders and all DeKalb county is anxiously awaiting his report upon their intentions and the Progressive league is fully prepared to give every encouragement should the movement now under consideration materialize.
 The Fort Payne people are confident that their town is soon to receive some substantial additions in the way of factories. The beautiful school build- ing, to be maintained by the state, is nearing completion and a fine new jail building Is also being constructed. All things considered the future looks very bright for our city.

BRITISH SPORTS
 AND AMERICAN

New Haven, Conn.,, March M.-(Special) Dr. w. G. Anderson, director of the Yale gymnasium, contributes a very interest ing article to the Yale Daily News, com pairing college athletics in England and the United States. Dr. Anderson says:
 In speaking of the athletic differences between American and English univer- sities, there are three main divisions which deserve attention, namely, those of extent, method and ideal
 First, the participation in athletics is much more general in England than in this country Colleges of 200 support a crew, two football teams, a hockey and lacrosse club, a cricket and tennis team, besides an athletic association for track sports. Every college Is thus supported by eight or nine teams with some 20 other colleges. In this way nearly all the men take up athletic work of some sort, even though they do not feel any particular inclination along that line. There are more games and fewer spec tators than here. For this reason the general average of athletic ability is high CT in England than in this country.
 "The question of method is also of pri- mary importance in the consideration of English athletics. Instead of employing a complex coaching system, as is the case in the United States the teams are trained by the university men themselves Professional coaching is practically un- known. Athletics are not made a busi- ness of. There are no training tables rowing machines or other artificial means ,f ba oli -ic important factor in shaping the methods of athletics in English universities, for it permits season to run unbroken for. nearly the entire year. There is no rapid change from one phase of athletics to an- other.
 'The third great difference between English and American athletics is in the question of ideals-or perhaps motives would better express the meaning For the Englishman goes into athletics not to win position or distinction, but rather for the pure love of the sport He does not enter athletics with the sole idea of winning at any cost, but rather with the intention of enjoying the possibilities of his body. The outcome of the game s not a life and death matter to him, and he exhibits no very intense feelings over the results. That remarkably high ideal of fair play is maintained is largely due to the fact that the English uni rersities are attended only by the leisure class who themselves pay all the expenses in- cured Far from acquiring money through athletics, the expense is in many cases prohibitive of entering them. The crews, for instance, supported en- tirely by their members, each man paying part of the cost of the shell. This places the sports on plane seldom realized in this country"

ROMANCE ENDS IN
 DIVORCE SUIT

San Francisco, March n-(specialA- The romance of MT. and Mrs. .Thonoas Grayden, which began six yearx ago when Miss Beryl Whitney. heiress to many millions of Parker Whitney, climbed one night from the window from the room in the Misses Elys fashionable school in New York and descended bv a laddor to become the wife of her waiting lover iamed as the hero of many fierce scrimmage on the Harvard football fiela will write it's concluding chapter in the divorce courts of San Francisco.
 Alleging that the stalwart young ath lete whose wooing of her was as stren- uous and irresistible as his mad r,,shes into the line of the Yale eleven and who carried her off in the face of the most determined opposition, has failed to provide her with the necessaries of life Mrs. Grayden, through her attorney, Ed Gar Peixotto. has filed her divorce com plaint. While there had been rumors that the domestic life of the young couple had not been as happy as it's suspicious be- ginning had augured, report which was circulated some weeks ago that Mrs. Grayden had left her husband and come to tiie iOiue Ol Ter parents Tn San Francisco with the intention of eventual ly beginning divorce proceedings was em- phatically denied by her brothers J. Parker Whitney and Vincent Whitney. There was an evident desire on the part of the family to avoid all notoriety and the complaint which cites merely the one statutory ground, was filed quietly while Mrs. Grayden and her parents were out of the city.
 Mrs. Grayden arrived here from Gin cinnati, where she and her husband had made their home, about six months ago. She took up her residence with her par ents at the Fairmont hotel and while she was invited to many social gather ings her constant refusal of these invi- tations and her evident desire for seclu- sion gave rise to the surmise that her separation" from her husband was. final.
 It was known that the Parker Whit-s neys had never approved of their son in law. No matter what remarkable thing he had done as a football player an lover. he had not proved a success the channels of business.

ATLANTA WOMAN
 MAKES STATEMENT

Newark. N. J., March A.-Mrs. Frances J. Ridley of Atlanta, who was arrested on Thursday, charged with hay ing retained hand bag containing val uable jewelry belonging to Mrs Andrew Albright, which she found on a train is- sued a statement today showing how she came into possession of the bag, and what were her intentions regarding it.
 Mrs. Ridley states that she saw the bag hanging from a hook in the ladies' retiring room shortly before the train reached Washington. Her attention was called to it by some ladies and she in- formed them that it did not belong to her.
 T cannot furnish the names of these ladies', Mrs. Ridley said, but one of them stated that she intended to stop in Washington to see a relative, who had married a congressman. I think she stated she was from northern New York. The other lady stated that she resided in Syracuse.
 'The train was two hours in Washing ton, and when I again entered the retir- ing room three hours after I had seen the bag, it was still hanging there. l put in on my arm, walked back to my seat and placed it in my pormanteau. l have been asked why l did not immedi- ately report the find It was because I once lost jewelry on a train which was turned over to the porter and never re- covered. About two hours after I found the bag 1 casually asked the porter if anything had been lost on the train. An hour later 1 asked the conductor where missing articles were usually reported. He said at the information bureau in Jersey City.
 T made up my mind to report to Jersey City"
 Mrs. Ridley states she cannot under stand how her berth check came to be in the bag, as alleged, and she calls at- tention to the fact that no one told her who had lost the bag until she reached Newark though her baggage was searched in her absence.
 Of the reported loss of diamond ring she says:
 'The fact that l was thoroughly searched should convince. any one that I did not retain the diamond ring which Mrs Albright may have left elsewhere, or which may have been taken by any of large number of people who had access to the bag during the period of 10 or 12 hours while it was hanging In the retiring room"

 Sometime ago, as it known, it was feared that Henllne and the associa , tion could not agree concerning salary. Now. however, the understanding is that neither side will be arbitrary, and that they will reach an agreement mu- tually satisfa ctory.

see Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia can reach a central point with little trouble and at little expense.

The club was organized with a capital stock of 5000, and it's shares, at BIO each. are offered to any one in the world. There was a large attendance. Men who love partridge hunting, who own fine dogs, and who train them have a mecca to which to turn which is right under their eyes.
