HORSES AND MULES

- Abraham Brothers say that things are still humming in the horse and mule trade in spite of the fact that so many other Montgomery business men are crying hard times.
 Montgomery's importance in the horse and mule trade is undoubtedly increas- ing with rapid strides. and those who know admit that the largest factors in this increase is the Abraham Brothers Company, who have energetically and consistently boosted this business with much succebs and pront to themselves and to Montgomery.
 They have just received four new car loads of mules and one of horses, which can be seen at their new stables cor ner of Perry and Jefferson Streets. Also one big jack offered for sale at a very attractive price. adv.

BOWLING NEWS
Keen Interest Aroused in Montgomery
 Bowlers Fly Four New and Perfect Alleys.

When Henry Neff built his new bowl ing alleys at 1O5 Commerce Street. he awoke all the latent bowling talent in Montgomery. It must be said that these new alleys are as good as any that any Montgomery bowler has ever seen. There are larger ones but there are none better in any paft of the country. These were built by the Brunswick Bake Collander Company and have received the enthusiastic en- dorsement of every experienced bowler who has rolled on them. MT. Neff con- duets them strictly according to the ruIes of the American Bowling Con- gress, something that has never been done before in Montgomery.
 The highest score for last week was 217. made by MT. Jim Patterson.

Williamson Corn Method Presparatioh
 of Land.

[ DO not use any fertilizer before planting; but apply fertilizer later as directed. Do not plough land when it is wet: this rule should be observed at all times. and not only in the prepara- tion of the land but in the planting and cultivation of the crop.
 Break land as 1t may require dur- tnr the winter It should be broken deen hut not more than one-fourth deeper than land has been broken be- fore. Stiff land requires more break ing and subsoiling than light. sandy soils.

PARDON IS WANTED s-o CALEB POWERS PETITIONS COVER
 NOR FOR TAYLOR. Paper Was signed. by One Thousand Citixens Of Kentucky Regard
 lesA, of Party-MatteR Un-
 der Considerntion.

Louisville, Ky, Feb. 20.--Kentucky's most .vexatious political and penal problem has thrust up its head again with a petition presented to Cover nor Augustus E. Wilson, by Caleb Powers for the pardoning of former Governor W. s. Taylor. former Secre- tary of State Charles Finley and John L. Powers.
 The paper was signed by 1000 citi- zons of Kentucky. regardless of party and the Governor replied that he would consider the matter in its turn.
 Powers. who is himself a former Secretary of State of Kentucky. and the most noted political prisoner of recent years. was with Jim Howard freed by willson.s pardoning preroga- tive some months ago. He had previ- ously been for eight years in the Georgetown, Ky. jail and Howard had been serving a life sentence in the Frankfort penitentiary.
 Powers was, at the time of his par don. awaiting his fifth trial for being an accessory before the fact of the murder of Senator William Goebel and Howard had been convicted of Goebels murder. The three men for whom Pow CTS seeks pardons were charged as ac- cesories. all including Governor Tay- Tor, fleeing to Indiana, whence extra dition has since been refused Governors of Kentucky.
 With the election of Governor Mar shall. Indiana Democrats predicted that Taylor would be handed over to the Kentucky authorities at once. This has. however, not yet been done.
 The meshes of the Goebel affair in. terweave in every phase of Kentucky life. Politics has been beset with 1t campaigns have been fought all around 1t, Wilson being elected in 1907 or the Republican ticket largely because he promised fair trial to Powers anG Howard. Later he pardoned them when the trial juries continued to dis. agree.
 It is not believed that the executive looks with favor upon any further ex. ercise of the almost despotic privi. lege for pardon which the Kentucky statutes give the chief executive. F. Waits on States Attorney.
 Frankfort. Ky. Feb. 20.-Governoi Wilson said today he would not con slider the applications for pardon unti Commonwealth's Attorney Franklin has been notified so that he might pre- sent any arguments desired.

SIE-OAY CYCLISTS
AHEAD OF RECORD
Mad Efforts of Leading
Teams Keep Crowd in
Wild State.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW
YORK. Dec. S.-Eleven miles ahead Of
the record and pedaling like mad in the
effort to eliminate those Of the riders
who are showing signs Of weakening
under the strain of the hard work, the
nine leaders in the siX-day race continue
to circle the wooden saucer at the gar
den in a manner that sets the crowd
wild and indicates a new record at the
end of the week
There is bitter feeling in evidence
among the teams, with the result that
several spills OF the early morning were
declared to have been more intentional
than accidental
The trouble arose when Patrick Kee-
gan. of Lowell, and Frank Calvin, a
local rider. were penalized a lap by the
scorers about daylight. Keegan got of
his wheel during a series OF sprints
without notifying the officials, and was
absent from the track fifteen minutes
before his partner APPEARED. He claimed
that the spokes Of his rear wheel had
become loose, but the officials would not
accept the excuse and penalized the pair
a lap.
They declared the action was due to
favoritism. and insisted that under the
rules they should not have been PEN
allied. Their protest was Of no avail.
This was cleaning day in the big
smoke-iilled auditorium and at 6 o'clock
the squads of special police went through
the building and drove into the street
all who had been there since the race
opened a minute after midnight Sun
day night. There were the usual scraps
among those who objected TO being
thrown out. The building was then
ventilated and a little OF the bad air
let out. This seemed to put new life
into TIA riders, and they kept up the
hot pace curing the early hours.
The score at noon follows:
Rutt and Stol, Mcfarland and Clark
Root am FOgleT, Lawson and DomaTa,
WalthoUr and Collins, Kitten and West,
Cameron ald Krebs, Halsted and Law
renee, Pye and Hehir, 1851 miles laps;
Calvin and Keegan, GeOrget and Geor-
get, Anderson and Vanoni, and Hill and
Stein, 1.161 miles 8 laps; German and
Carapezzl. 1.0S7 miles 9 laps. Previous
record LEO miles laps. made In 1905.
