GUN CLUB DOING
SOME FINE WORK
LASLlE WINS THE PRELIMINARY
PRIZE-THIRTY ENTRIES EN-
GAGGED YEsTERDAY-REGU
2 TOURNAMENT BEGINS TODAY.

Notwithstanding the somewhat
heavy weather for shooting yesterday
there were over 80 entries in the pre-
liminary handicap match of the Biz
mingham Gun club incident to the reg
ular tournament which begins today. 1t
was we'll nigh all day nat the shoot
ers were pegging away at and shoot
ing over, around and into the clay
pigeons flung out across the field from
the pits.
The handicap match yesterday was
a contest for the possession of tourn-
ament gun of the winchester pat
tern. During the day each man cracked
down on 80 pigeons and at the con-
clusion of the regular shooting Laslie
of Tuskegee. Jordan of Ensley and
Warren of Birmingham were tied for
the prize, each having broken AZ out
of 90 pigeons. In the sho DOT off War
rem and Laslie were tied with 23 marks
each and Jordan dropped out, having
broken only 16 out of % birds. In the
shoot off between Warren and Laslie,
Laslie broken 2S birds and Warren %.
which gave Baslie the gun.
Other men shot well. Walker, Hill
man and Taylor each had As marks to
their credit. Livingston broke 45 birds.
Alexander broke A. Few of the shoot
ers fell below the 40 mark.
The regular tournament of the gun
club will begin today and continue
through tomorrow. owing to the emf
thusiasm shown yesterday by the large
number of men participating in the
preliminary, the club officers expect a
large attendance at the regular shoot
tndav and tomorrow.

LOCKER CLUBS ARE
PREPARING TO MOVE
Members Ordered to Remove
All wet Goods"
SOME WILL MAKE FIGHT
Great Majority VIII Close Doors How
ever-some Talk of Injunction
Is Already Heard Among
Operators.
SOME WILL MAKE FIGHT

Friday will be locker club moving
day." a number of club operators hav-
ing announced their intention of remov-
ing their stock out of their private lock-
ers, while all members" are being noti-
fled that by this date they must vacats
their lockers of liquids
These operators are conceding the pas
sage of the anti-storage bill by the SEN
ate following its victorious trip through
the house yesterday. That 1t will be
signed by the governor as early as pos
sible after the senate finishes with 1t is
the consensus of opinion among many
of the clubmen and conservative ones
among them are figuring that 1t will be
at least from four to six months before
the supreme court will knock 1t out"
1t Is understood that few of the club
men will fight the issue and attempt to
keep their places open through injunc-
ton proceedings in the local courts and
continue the fight by injunctions to the
supreme court should the local court give
an adverse decision. The operator of a.
club which Is said to be within the law
as q locker club stated last night that
- ''S oSAiA5 " SioSC Jul lllluouldlbly,
figuring that 1t would be well along to-
ward January before anything could pos
sibly be done in favor of the clubs.
The old line clubs. such as the Southern
club, Country club and the Elks, have
already made preparations for the re-
moval of the lockers In their club houses.
These clubs have been strictly within
the law and the members have already
received notice to clear out their lockers
Warehousemen also started scratching
their heads yesterday after learning of
how the house had hit their business a
solar plexus blow. Since prohibition went
into effect many storage warehouses have
taken the place of former wholesale
whisky and beer establishments, but this
new law has caused a worry among
them.
There is not the slightest doubt In my
mind but that the supreme court will
eventually kill the BILL said one OF these
men yesterday, but it's the intervening
time that is causing worry The fact that
a person must prove his innocence in
stead Of Uncle Sans old time ruling that
a person is innocent until proven guilty,
is the thing which will tighten up things
around Birmingham for a few weeks"

out. Expecting this, Captain Eagan d.
vided the squad into three divisions and
visited three places simultaneously 1t
was at these places where the arrests
were made, three men being taken in
charge at each place.
Other places were visited Immediately
afterward, but gambling had apparently
ceased for the moment in Birmingham,
and not even the "secretaries'' of these
clubs were to be found at their place of
duty.
None of the arrested men were taken
to the city Jail. but were allowed to
make bond on the spot. The bonds were
fixed at $780, which is double what has
usually been required.
These cases will be handled under the
fine points of the vagrancy law, which,
1t Is said, rules that any person, no mat
ter how well fixed he may be financially,
is guilty of vagrancy IL he Is found In
gambling establishments at frequent in
tervals. Other arrests are expected to
follow.

Made over by Quitting Coffee.

Coffee probably wrecks a greater per-
centage OF southerners than of northern
people for southerners use IL more freely.
The work ii does is distressing enough
in some Instances; as an Illustration, a
woman of Richmond, Va, writes:
II was a coffee drinker for years and
for about six years my health was COM
pletely shattered. I suffered fearfully
with headaches and nervousness, also
palpitation of the heart and loss Of ap-

My sight gradually began to fail and
finally | lost the sight of one eye alto
gether. The eye was operated upon and
the sight partially restored, then I be-
came totally blind in the other eye.
MY doctor used to urge me to give
up coffee but was wilful and continued
to drink it until finally in a case OF Sc
we're illness the doctor insisted that
must give up the coffee. so began using
Postum and in a month tI felt like L
new creature.
II steadily gained in health and
strength. About a month ago I began
using Grape Nuts food and the effect has
been wonderful I really feel like new
woman and have gained about % pounds.
II am quite an elderly lady and before
using Postum and GrapeNuts I could
not walk a square without exceeding IA
tigue, now l walk ten or twelve without
feeling it. Formerly In reading l could
remember but little, but now my mem
DRY holds fast what I read.
Several friends who have seen the
remarkable effects OF Postum and Grape
Nuts on me have urged that l give the
facts to the public for the sake of suffer
ing humanity so. although dislike pub

LIBRARY WORK
WELL UNDER WAY
SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS ARE BE-
ING CREATED IN ANTICIPATION
OF IMPORTANT CHANGES TO BE
MADE IN OCTOBER.

Work toward the enlargement and bet
terment of the Birmingham public library
is progressing steadily. 1t is expected
that the opening to the general public
stitution in better shape than ever The
librarian, Miss Lila May Chapman, and
her assistants are now engaged in cata-
Logging the books at hand and preparing
in other ways for the opening.
Extensive plans for the future have
been made by the library association. The
work for the acquisition of the $500 fund
that has been started is we'll under way
and many improvements for the library
are being planned. special department
for the use of children has been estab-
lished and the members and officials of
the association are actively at work in
its interest. A special room has been
provided for Juvenile readers and is be-
ing stocked with all books In the pos
session of the library that may be of
interest to them. 1t is hoped that ma
terial aid will be furnished the school
children of the city in their composition
and reference work. 1t will be the aim
of those employed In the library to teach
the children how to use the books in the
reference department and extend help
to them in any other manner that may
suggest itself. 1t is believed that In this
way the library will be made popular
among the younger set.
In addition to this, special departments
for technical study will be provided. An
excellent collection of books on geology
has been acquired. A number of geo.
logical and meteorological specimens have
been obtained through the kindness of
Fremont B. Finch, who is with the Ten
nessee Coal Iron and Railroad COM
pany. This collection will serve as
nucleus for a museum to be established
in the library. Such museum, 1t Is
thought, will greatly enhance the value
of the text books on the subject.
Fifteen thousand volumes are now in
possession of the library and are open to
the use of the public.
