 Now as to the racing game down in this part of the country the outlook is not very bright. Up in Birming- ham there is a plan to give Ave or six days straight race meet. The Mem phis dates in the Great Western Cir. cult are just after the Lexington meet ing or at least during the time of that meeting. and the chances are that many of the horses racing at Lexing- care to ship way out to Texas, will be shipped to Birmingham if the purses there are large enough.
 If there is no regular Southern Fair Circuit good meeting could be ar- ranged in Montgomery and with ade- quate purses most of the horses from Lexington, Memphis and Birmingham can and vii be shipped to vandiver Park An excellent plan would be to po6ed of Birmingham. Montgomery. Selma, Mobile with Columbus and Ma con in Georgia. If good purses were hung up at these six meetings the re- suit will be some classy horses, for probably owners not caring to ship down here for one meeting will be Aglad to get~a slice of the coin if there fis a regular circuit.
 In the meantime the people are wait ing anxiously to see what will be done in regard to the Southern Fair Circuit of 1909 + 5.t

 TRe sale of cars which figured under the S2,O00 mark was phenomenal. .ThiRI was mainly accounted for by the facel that the farmerg had ''nioney <o burpw during the panicky period. High prices for farm products meant more money for luxuries. and in most communities the "devil wagon" is sttll put in that class. The horny-hanied son of toif' had little use, for the lAteet creafionR in upholstery and furnishing; all hts hwanted was a substantial machiFia which could negotiate the more or less uncertain going of the country road, and hence he was saved the thousand or so.

Servants Quarters of Johnston Hotel
 Are Burned
 Athens Feb. 16.-(Speciai.)- )---AthenH had a very narrow escape yesterday from one the most disastrous fires in its history.
 The frame building used for ser wants quarters In the rear of the Johnston Hotel burned and but for the rapidity with which the volunteer fire department responded there would have been a very disastrous fire. as the hotel Is a large frame structure and the colonial home of Dr. Hagan was within few feet of the burning build- tng and other large frame residences near by, being of the most thickly set tied residence districts of the town
 Had the fire gotten into either of the nearby large frame buildings with the wind as high as it was, nothing could have saved the district. The loss is small though the building was entirely destroyed.

NASHVILLE COMING
RAsKETBALL TEAM PLAYS HERE THURSDAY.

The Tennesseans Are Hot After the
 Southern Championship and
 Must Win In Montgomery To Cinch Position.
 The Nashville Athletic Club basket ball team will play the Montgomery '. M. c. A., Thursday night. in the local gymnasium. Nashville is coming with a team which the Tennesseans claim is to win the championship of the South ern League this season.
 When Vanderbilt made its recent tour of the South 1t was expected that the collegians would make a clean sweep. but inasmuch as Mobile and Montgom- cry stopped that fast aggregation, the sole hope of the Tennessee basketball fans now lies in the Nashville Athletic Club.
 So far, the Nashville club has lost but two games this year, one to the Notro Dame University by close score. Like Montgomery, Nashville has suffered but one defeat on her own floor and that was administered by the Notre Dame quintette. tt
 Montgomery feels confident that shs will be able to trim the visitors Thurs day night. and if the defeat IS accom- plished, 1t will mean that Mobiles chances for the Southern championship will be particularly bright.

ture for the reappoinment of two
members who are Republicans and
instead he named two other men,
one Republican and the other a
Democrat, making the board non
partisan in its makeup. He did
this thing just at the right time too.
The board had arranged, to use the
slang expression, to put one over on
the governor by meeting and organ
izing for the year, electing the men
whom the holdovers had recommend
ed to office, believing this would
block the governor in making any
change, II he were contemplating
such a thing. The governor was
right on the spot and he blocked
their little game by stepping in on
the very day the board had set for
its reorganization. removing the two
men who had been recommended for
reappontment and naming two 9TH
ers. This action by the governor can
not be charged to partisansm. He
named one Republican and one Dem
ocrat on the board, making that body
non-partisan
These two moves by the governor
show plainly that he proposes to be
governor. He knows that the peo-
pie voted for him last fall because
they desired a change in the manage
ment of state affairs He regrets that
the change was not made complete
so there could be no question about
securing the change, but he Is de-
termined to do everything in his
power to bring about the conditions
which the people want. For the next
two years there is to be a man in
charge Of the governors office, the
mere fgurehead has been put aside
for that length Of time at least
