Talladega, May H.-(Special )-By g o'clock this morning from 5000 to 1000 had assembled on Battle street to witness the wagon races in the fremen's tournament here. The events of the day proved to be most interesting, and several association records have been smashed.

The team was limited in each case to six men, all of whom were com pelled to ride with the apparatus from the starting point The course was 20o yards to plug, connect with plug, lay 300 feet of hose, uncouple seventh section, att tach pipe and then show water through pipe under pressure. First prize, S1O0; sec ond prize, $50
 The Gadsden wagon made the first run, covering the time to the plug in 19 see- onds, but requiring 49 seconds to show water under pressure at end of pipe An- niston followed with a score of 49 4-5 sec- onds. Talladega won by a score of 42 1-5 seconds. Anniston made the fastest time to the plug by 1 second. but her men were not as expert In handling the hose as were Talladega's.

The twelfth contest was the two-horse Siamese race. The conditions of this race were that no more than nine men should compose the competing team. The wagon was to carry not less than 600 feet of reg ulation hose, which was to be securely coupled at each section, and no coupling was allowed to be broken on wagon. Horses were to be hitched with the driver on seat and no member of team to be more than 20 feet from starting point Distance to drive to plug was 200 yards, after which the team was to connect to plug, lay three sections q5O feet, discon- meet the fourth section, put on pipe show water through pipe, take off pipe, put on Siamese, lay three sections from each branch of Siamese, put on two pipes, show water through both pipes, the time to be taken when water shows through both pipes After first branch of Siamese was laid the wagon returned to Siamese and second branch was laid in same di- yrection as first branch.

Rome Has Bad Luck.

Rome did not take part in the wagon race this morning, as at the start one of the horses gave a sudden lunge and broke singletree This was greatly re- gretted as Rome had speedy pair of horses and an army of rooters who were of the opinion that. the Hill City would win.
 In the hitch in house race for two-horse wagon reel this afternoon Gadsden time was 65 seconds Anniston covered the ground in 62 seconds, Talladega used up 56 seconds, while Rome won out with 51 3-5 seconds.
 Nearly every one of these races were run in the rain. In the mornng's contest Anniston hose burst; but for this she would have tied or probably beat Talla- dega In the straight-away wagon race The oldest inhabitant doesn't remember when there has been so much rain, but everybody is taking it philosophically
 In the hitch in the house race the best record had been that of Cedartown. made in 1906, of US seconds. Rome lowered this today to 51 3-5 seconds. It is estimated that, first and last 10000 people have at tended this tournament, and everybody is pleased with the outcome.
 The last event at 3:90 was the chiefs race, participated in by Gadsden and Tal- ladega. Talladega, N 4-5; Gadsden, 29 sec onds.
 The meeting will most likely go to An niston next year.

The New Commercial Club.

The organization OF the Nezperce
commercial club last Tuesday night
is a step in right way at an oppor-
tune time. There will be more work
for an organization of this kind in
Nezperce this year than ever before
in the history of the town.
With the completion of the rail-
road this year will come many In
quiries, as well many people, look
ing for business locations and farm
lands and different kinds of invest
ment, and the questions can be an
swered more quickly and more salts
fact rily through the information
which is usually compiled by a com
mercial club than through any other
source. The organization should be
and We believe has been. made on a
broad plan, which will add very
much to its usefulness
Any person who is interested in
the town or country can become a
member by paying his dues; and
there is no back membership fee.
This will enable any one to join at
any time and viii also be help in
making the club permanent one.
The officers elected at the meeting
were P. E. Miller, president; S. E.
vice-president; A. A. Al
vord, secretary and treasuer. The
board consists of ". E.
Larson, A. c. Eitzen, P. NJ. Hard
ing, W. T. McNab and c. F. Thomas.

Auction Sale of Lots.

The auction sale of lots of the H.
J. Brabham property, conducted Dy
the American Realty & Auction Com
pany, of Greensboro, n. c., came OF
as advertised last Saturday after
noon. These lots were well located
near the business portion of town,
and brought good prices. The COM
pany had a brass band in attendance,
and the two auetioneers kept the
bidding lively. About sixty lots were
sold, and on some of these residences
will be erected right away. Truly
it seems that real estate is on boom
in Bamberg, and that the day OF
cheap property is past.
At the close of the sale the COM
pany gave away free lot, which
was won by Mr.. J. H. RoweH. Ac-
;cording to their advertisement, some
gold and silver money was also given
away. The gentlemen composing
this company are hustlers, as their
work in Bamberg testifies. These
lots will be no good to the owners
unless houses are built on them, and
we hope to soon see building COM
mence in that section. The lots are
near the business portion, in a de-
sirable part of town, and we need
more houses in Bamberg. New
streets have been opened through the
property, which opens up that part
of the city.
