Prohibition In Alabama and Georgia.

Prohibition In Alabama and Georgia.
 You people have no kick coming" said Walter Ledwell, young attorney of Savannah, who was registered last night in the city, that prohibition is a farce in Birmingham. Of course, it is true that here you can get beer and whisky with just little more trouble than you could when all the saloons were running It is also true that you can now get it on Sunday just as easily as you can on Mon day, whereas under the old regime Sun day was generally as a rule observed. But over in Georgia We are having fun sure enough. I was in Atlanta yester- day. You can get what you want to drink in Atlanta, too. It is just a case of the saloons moving upstairs. You can go up the stairs knock at g door, gain the eye of an attendant, find a table pro- vided with chairs and a room equipped with electric fans and reading matter It is all very simple.
 We are preparing to have a real warm time in Savannah. however. The report has gone abroad that the policemen and the deputies are conniving in Savannah It is reported that the dealers in whisky and beer are openly violating the law, and that each place is fined an amount each year that would equal the old license. l will not state publicly whether or not these reports are true, but it is true that the conditions are so lamentable that the governor is talking freely of making formal investigation. This morning. Con- stitution had column story to that ef- feet.
 There is one interesting item that l mo- ticed in the papers Saturday. This was the report of the license collector. mo- ticed that while the business licenses of Birmingham when whisky was licensed here amounted to s1S9.ooo in round num- bers. the business license for 1908 amount ed to s17e.oO0. This would indicate that while prohibition is within itself farce. it's burden is heavy one on the shoul- ders of the business men,"

Bankhead Day In Tuscaloosa.

Last Friday was 'Bankhead day in Tuscaloosa said a resident of that place in Birmingham yesterday. "The senator laid the cornerstone of the new govern ment building, and Tuscaloosa publicly thanked him. Senator Bankhead has in deed been a warm friend to Tuscaloosa. He has done some magnificent work on the Warrior river. and his effort to ac- quire such splendid government building for Tuscaloosa was hard and strenuous one
 Friday the senator was the hero of the hour. Tuscaloosa was out in force to do him honor. When this popular expression of favor was added upon the senator's feeling on seeing his hope in a state of fruition, it can be easily surmised just how proudly he felt. The people of Tus- caloosa hope Mir. Bankhead has many years of useful public service before him."

WaddeII on the GridIron.

Eccentric 'Rube Wadden, the noted baseball pitcher, is really splendid foot ball player" said a gentleman with sport ing proclivities who has recently returned from St. Louis
 "I was in St. Louis on New Years day and in the afternoon saw a magnifi- cent battle between Chicago and St. Louis. 'Rube' played a guard position for St. Louis and his playing was easily the feature of the game.
 Chicago won by score of 12 to G. Eckersall, Chicagos great quarterback, kicked three goals from placement, and this overbalanced the touchdown and goal of St. Louis. But St. Louis was equally as aggressive as the visitors and Wad- dell was vicious. St. Louis was frequently penalzed on account of 'Rube's' tendency to hold in the line The great fellow was not satisfied in stopping several men by legal tactics but he often attempted to take the entire Chicago outfit in his arms. crush 'em up a little bit and throw them backward with his arms, hands, legs and feet. Waddell really sur prised with his great strength and great CT speed.
 'The spectators figured that the great pitcher was used solely as an advertising scheme. But he was in the game for keeps and fought gamely to the very end. Incidentally Waddell is better satisfied in St. Louis than he has ever been before and is taking excellent care of himself. He will be better on the diamond next season than he has been in several years"

Must Have Greater Birmingham.

"A little more harmony and fewer Greater Birmingham bills" said John Hearst Miller yesterday, would, in my opinion, go far toward accomplishing the desired increase in Birmingham's popula- ton by 1910
 ''The Commercial club is the body to take this matter in charge. The club is in favor of Greater Birmingham, and should become responsible for it. If a committee of the best legal talent in the club were appointed to draft bill put ting the limits of the city where they ought to be and so drawn as to do away with all chance of flaws, then the club could go before the legislature and get the bill properly passed without any trouble.
 This is matter in which individuals should work together instead of pulling in all directions. There is no reason why a half dozen bills should be presented which only one or two men have even seen before they are presented.

"Toughy' Dying in Canine Hospital From
Strain in Winning Noted Sweepstakes

animal. which is suffering from throat
trouble.
The story of the All-Alaska race for
1909, telegraphed to The Call Monday,
is in many respects the story of the
great race "Toughy'' won. The course
that the winning team travelled was
$40 miles, and the distance was covered
in four days % hours. But it was run
through a great blizzard that threat
ened to be the death of the dogs and
their drivers alike.
'Toughy" pulled ahead. straining at
the collar always. while the other dogs
attempted to back to the storm ana
die. "Toughy," leading his eight mates.
snapped and bit at them when they fall
tered, and finally he staggered into
Nome, which he had left those four
days before for the circular trip. the
winner of the great derby. The popu-
lace was out jamming the streets to
greet him, and men and women threw
their arms about his neck and hugged
him with joy as he trotted in.
But "Toughy's" head had been frozen
as he breasted the blizzard at the head
of his mates, and his lungs wera
strained and his heart weakened by the
struggle. He was vanquished, though
a victor.
1t was before his entry into the race
that "Toughy" saved the lives of his
owners, once in swimming out of ?
river and dragging them with him TO
the shore, and again by pressing on
through a storm in which they had
become lost
