DIVIDE TIME
SENATOR SPRAGINS AND JUDGE
 WEAKLEY IN DEBATE.
The Rev. wasson, Prohi Leader i'm Madison, Consents to Judge
 Weakley's Going on Plat
 form Against Senator.

Huntsville. Sept. 1s.-(special.)-- Senator Robert E. spragins. one of the leading opponents of the proposed amendment to the constitution. and Hon. Samuel D. >weakley. candidate for Governor on the amendment issue. will engage in their first joint debate in this city on next Tuesday night.
 The debate will be the most notable political event that has occurred in North Alabama tn many months, and an immense crowd Is expected. Judge Paul Speake has been chosen to pre- side. The debate will take place in the Elk Theatre. which seats about 1.2o0 persons.
 Senator Spragins won fame in Ala bama by casting the one vote in the Senate in 1908 against the prohibition bill. and later he was one of the ten Alabama Senators in opposition to the constitutional amendment.
 Recently he sent challenges to Gov ernor Conner. Speaker Carmichael. Hon. H. s. D. Mallory and Judge Weakley, to divide time with him at their engagements in Madison County.
 Governor Conner declined without ex- plaining his reasons, while Speaker and Mfr. Mallory accepted on condition that the local prohibition was willing. The prohibi- ton committee. Rev. s. E. Wasson. chairman, would not sanction a divis- ion of time at the Carmichael and Mall lory appointments. but will permit Judge Weakley to meet Senator Sprag- ins at the Huntsville appointment and at no other.

RETURNING ARCTIC EXPLORERS
 OCCUPY LIMELIGHT.
While Dr. Cock ls Being Dined in New Yorks Commander Peary WiM
 Be Guest at Sydney.

After patient waiting and with min- gled feelings of elation and doubt, the United States this week will receive her two heroes of Arctic fame. The popular rejoicing promises to be genu- inc. despite the fact that the respec- tive demonstrations will have a par tisan flavor. The early determination of polar precedence. however, Is not to be expected, as the immediate ef- feet of the arrival of the home-com- ing celebrations will be an increasing bitterness. pr. Cook is expected at New York early Tuesday on the steam CT Oscar H. He will be met down the bay by members of the Arctic Club of America. and various delegations who will escort him with pomp and cere. mony to his home In Brooklyn.
 On Thursday night he will be dined by the Arctic Club. While New York harbor Is resoundinR with cheers for Cook. the city of Sydney, N. S., will cry itself hoarse with cheers for Com mander Peary. who plans to reach there on the steamer Roosevelt Tues day morning. Peary will delay a lit- tie at Sydney and then proceed to Portland. Me. where popular recep- ton has been arranged. He Is ex- pected in New York the latter part of the week. and his welcome home will be notable. The arrangements are in
  and, of course will include 6 public banquet.
 President, Taft's speech making itin- erary will be continued this week. taking him through Iowa, Nebraska. Colorado and Utah. The presidential party Is due at Des Moines early Mon- day and will finish the week at Salt Lake City. where 1t should arrive late Friday. Thus far, the President has been royalty received. and he appears to be enojying the trip. The various topics on which he decided to speak are being taken up systematically.
 The Hudson-Fulton celebration, commemorating the exploration of the Hudson river by Henry Hudson, in 1909 and the inauguration oE steam navigation by Robert Fulton in 1907 will open at New York city this week. Many officials and vessels from foreign lands participating will give the oc. casion international importance. Of especial interest will be the aviation exhibitions Glenn H. Curtiss and Wilbur Wright will hover above the city, affording probably the one big feature that may be seen by all who have eyes to see.
 The fortieth anniversary of the founding of the prohibition party will be celebrated Friday. At Chicago a parade of 100000 prohibitionists is planned. Two important gatherings of the week will be that of the Interna. tIonal Tax Association. meeting at Louisville on Tuesday and the addf- tional Good Roads Association con. vention. beginning on the same day.

New York city and San Francisco have vigorously disputed Seattle's claim to the distinc- ton of being the most cosmopolitan city in the New World.

The prosperous side whtskered banker will alight from his auto; and In the non descrIpt crowd, grouped neBligently about on the sidewalk. will be seen the brown face and heavy sombrero of the Mexican; the waxed mustache. patent leather boots and black chapeau of the Frenchman. the silken robe and glossy queue of the Chinaman and the crink' ly hair, ulti-colored sash and giant turban of the HindOo.
