Columbus. Miss.s Jap. sl.--tSpeclel.l ---As forecagted In q recent apeciai the directors of the local Cotton States League team have decided to withdraw from the League. and have addressed the following letter to President Mers Fill at Jackson:

 '.Dear Sir--3ince the meeting held in Jackson in December, have felt that neither Meridian nor Viciksburg would be in the game this year, unless some way could be found to reduce the ex- penses of the individuai clubs was sure that Columbus would reiinqutsh her Franchise. It appearing that no satisfactory solutoin of the expense account can be reached and not being willing to remain In the league unless Columbus can have an even break aa to salary limit, character of players, etc. I am writing to advise you that we are willing to surrender our fran- chise to any town designated by the members of the League. We have quite . number of players signed for the year 1909 and will be glad to dis pose of them to whoever takes the franchise so that our withdrawal will not Seriously affect the League.
 Anything we can do to help our suc- eessor, keep the League intact end aid the towns which are able to support teams, tife amusement for the coming season, we will be glad to cooperate. It strikes me that our circuit has, champagne appetite The League should live within It's means and play such players as our income permits. The sgrease' as too hot for us, so we have decided to get out of the kitch- afk.a -.

ROLL CALI; OF MINERS
 UNION SHOWS DECREASE

New York, Jan. 1.--(SpecfaL )-with the expiration of the agreement be- tween the anthracite mine workers and operators only a few weeks of, the condition of the miners union in the anthracite. region is now subject of interest to both the men and their employers. President Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America. in his address before the convention at Indianapolis, has supplied tgures showing the numerical strength of his organization.
 In the three. anthracite districts of Pennsylvania says MT. Lewis, the roll of the union for 1908 contains the names of 3O.s51 mine workers. As the total number of mine workers in these districts is l70.000 or thereahouts, the union memb bership. represents only about IS percent of the whole. In ono of the three districts, according to MT. Lewis's report. there are only 46l7 union members.
 The argument, between the opera tors and miners following the strike of 1902, and the renewal of the agree- ment in 1908. have kept the anthra- cite region, unusually free from trou- ble for six years, with the result that the men have felt no need of an or- ganization. The Consolidation Board, established by the Strike Commission of 1902, has been on hand to adjust any grievance presented by a mine worker. When they settled down to work after the "suspension" of 1906, the men began to be dropped from the union rolls for non-payment of duess Recently The leaders declared @, cut rate initiation fee, in order to bring the men back into the fold.
 The new demands drafted by a union committee, for presentation to the op- orators. call for the abolition of the Cancellation Board and for the coIlec. tion of union dues through a system of deduction from wages. The labor leaders also demand that whatever agreement Is made shall extend only one year. instead of three. /

 of any intoxicating liquors in soft drink stands. A few of the ''mixturs' fn the stands have been arrested in the embarrassing attitude of right hand hip pocket. ready to extract a pint bottle which would have poured the booze into the ginger ale Eiass. The liquar has been rssurrected from trap doors, dug from cellars and otherwise seixsd fn soft drink stands Arrests have followed but they are still blind tigers for all that
 A mild seneation has been caused by the publication in . local newspa- per of copies of expense bills paid by the Law and Order League. The ex- peuses. st as alleged, were incurred by "spottsfs'' of the League when the snterprise<of that organization was ct its zenith. Tho costs of the spotters' operations include ttsmized drinks procured at blind tigers. used as evi- dence for the officers in making their raids. Cigars. beer and near-beer, hfghbaiis. Hiwatha. carfares and other Items make up the vouchers which are allowed to bear the Q. K. of the League officers.
 These expense bills were evidently the relics of the League in their ear- ly efforts to enforce prohibition, in connection with the exposure by the anti-newspaper of these spotters. the practice ts condemned aa graft and the charge is made that such detsc- dyes are nothing but confirmed ahoozers- for whom fin the death of the saloons, the League has furnished a pension Of drink and vice.
 This letter has attempted to sum up the many guises which the blind ti- ger has assumed in this city. They are Initiated in all other cities of the country. Future articles will deal with the effect of prohibition on crime. on reinforcing church work, on industry, and on many other phases of city life.

IS. D. WEAKLEf 1 MAY BE NAMED Is Rurnored Successor to Justice Tyson. SAID TO BE GOVERNORS CHOICE Judge Weakley Filled the Office Under Governor JeIks It ls sasa sa Be szsss fresssl. That. ths Asroiasmest win
 Be Made Next
 Thursasy.
 

That Judge 8. D. weakiey. of Birm- ingham, wAll be appointed by Governor Conner to the offace of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Of Alabama to suc- ceed Justice John R. Tyson. whose res- ignation takes effect on the coming Friday, is the opinion advanced strong ly by maay county and State officials yesterday.
 Gossip bases the appointment On the fact that Judge Weakley has already occupied the position, having been ap- pointed by Governor Jeiks. to fill out the term of Chief Justice Mcclellan whose death occurred in 1906. It Is also known fact that Judge Weak ley is one of Birmingham's most prom inent lawyers, and he has. since the resignation of Justice Tyson wes am nounced.. been urged by his friends to be a candidate for the position.
 The Supreme Court will meet formal Iy this morning at 10 o'clock, to take up ing the Counties of Colbert. Franklin. Jackson. Lauderdaie. Lawrence, Ltme- stone. Madison. Marshall and Morgan.
 It is not fexpected that any cases or great importance win be Submitted to the court during the week, nor is any decision of note. thought to be pending.
 what course of action the court will take with regard fO the resignation oy Chief Justice John R. Tyson, Is mat ter of speculation that gossip has not yet touched upon.
 It ia most probable that Governor Conner will have made his appointment of the successor of Justice Tyson by Thursday night, in order that there may be no Interruption In the Business of the court. In case. however. that the appointment fs not made. tt would seem that tuatice Dowdeil will occupy the seat Of the Chief Justice by reason of his seniority until Governor Conner makes his appointment. 4

The Southern Commercial Congress, planned by c. e.
