The pluclky football bunch Of the BIZ
mingham High school yesterday after
noon demonstrated its superiority over the
Howard reserves by defeating them in
very close game by score of to .. AS
is indicated by the score the victory was
no walkover for the High school boys.
They were repulsed again and again by
the heavy line of the opposing team, and
were barely able to squeeze through with
one touchdown made in the latter part OF
the last half.
The usual open game was resorted TO
by the local boys with success, and It Is
probable that with old-style tactics the
victory might not have Been gained. The
winning tally was scored in the last halr
by means of a well-executed forward pass
and a brilliant 25-yard run by Weber, the
fast High school halfback. Captain Estes
kicked goal netting the victors total OF
6 points.
The renovated High school line showed
up to much advantage. The absence OF

JUDGES DIFFER WIDELY
IN LAWS INTERPRETATION
BY HERvEr w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, November 6.-(Special.)
Nothing moro convincingly illustrates
the divided state of the public mind on
the prohibition question than the atti-
tude of the trial judges on the inter-
probation of the Fuller law with re-
gard to the making of wine in the
homes OF the state. Some of the best
men on the circuit court bench contend
that the max ing of any drink or prod
uct of this class with more than one
half of per cent alcohol is violation
of the act; others, equally as promi-
nent, take the other view.
Judge Alto Lee OF Gadsden was
among the first to take a stand, charg-
ing his jury that there was no reason
to indiot where wine was made for
home use and In the manner SO long
employed by the heads of country
homes. He took the liberal view that
no such thing was contemplated in the
act, and saw no reason to read such
prohibition into 1t. Judge 8. 3. Brown,
in the Baldwin circuit court, took the
other position, saying to his jury that
II any housewife had made wine since
the passing of the Fuller bill 1t was the
Judge J. c. Richardson of the Third
circuit, followed the lead of Judge Lee.
but Judge A. H. Aston, supernumer-
airy, comes along and finds even more
than his colleague on the gulf coast,
declaring to q north Alabama jury that
they must indict for making wine, or
any drink with more than the one-half
Of / per cent alcohol, and also holding
that intoxicants cannot be served even
in ones own home save in full view
of the street and the people who may
be passing. This last Interpretation
surprised even the ultra ants.
There does not seem any doubt in
the minds Of the average man that
those judges who hold the making of
wine q violation of the bill are cor
rect in their views. On the other hand
the position accredited to Judge Aston
with regard to drinking In the home
10 not thought to be one that will be
upheld, although such suggestion
might be found in the measure. Early
speakers for the amendment and fur
Their prohibition enactments contended
against the wine prohibition idea, but
lately they have tacitly agreed that this
is a fair view to take of 1t.
Col. H. s. D. Mallory, running for
governor on the amendment ticket in
O recent speech, said that after all he
had heard none of the women com
planning, so he guessed it was all right.

HIGH SCHOOL SQUAD WINS
FROM HOWARD RESERVES

Mcpherson at tackle and Maxim at guard,
though bringing down the weight Of the
team considerably, was not keenly felt
as was thought, q. Strange and Self fill
ing the vacant positions quite satisfac-
torily. Luther Strange was strong at CEN
ter, and Barker showed himself to be as
good a fullback as center. Zielminski ex-
hibited his usual speed at half and played
an excellent game throughout.
The Howard squad was also good at
open playing. making substantial gains
through neatly performed passes and end
runs Among the rest, Watson, at full,
showed up finely.
The game was on the whole neat per-
Torrance OF prep. football, and was en-
joyed by a large crowd of rooters for both
teams. 1t was In all probab ility the last
game to be played by the High school
eleven on local fields, the schedule for the
remainder of the season consisting Of
games abroad.
Counselman of Birmingham acted as
umpire and Faster as referee. The time
of halves was % minutes each.

Moatgomery, November 6.-(Speoial.)-A-
p. Tucker, newspaper man of Thomas
vile, Clark county, who was at the capi-
toll Saturday, says that the counties near
his will all go against the amendment
Mobile, he thinks, will oppose 1t at least
five to one; Clark, three to -FOUR; BAD
win. three to two; Choctaw, about IS per
cent: wilcox, three to two, and Marengo.
three to two. OF course, this is only an
estimate, but he believes it conservative
from an anti-amendment standpoint The
vote will be light In every one OF the
counties mentioned, for the reason that
many have not paid their pon tax.

Taft In Columbia,

Columbia. 8. c., November 6.-The Pres
idents afternoon in Columbia was filled
with interest. He was entertained at
luncheon in the chamber of the house of
representatives at the state capitol and
remarked that South Carolina was the
first state officially to greet him within
the walls of its capitol The only other
President ever to visit Columbia was
Washington, whose stay in the quaint old
city is chronicled as having been an event
In 1871. Like President Taft, Washington
was entertained at luncheon in the state
capitol. The building which housed Pres
ident Taft today, however. was not the
same. though it is old enough to bear
the scars of bombardment from Sher-
mans army.
Following the evacuation of Columbia
by Gen. Wade Hampton and the occupa-
ton by General Sherman, the entire busi-
ness section of the city was burned. Con-
sequently, the President today looked
upon a strange admixture of ante-bellum
homes and skyscrapers indicative Of mod
ern progress.
The many reminders Of the conflict OF
the sixties caused the President to speak
at the luncheon in his honor with fervor
on the subject of the passing of all
sectional feeling greater than he has dis
played at any other city during his south
ern trip.

cordial greetings of one white man to

another greeting were he to come as a
missionary to the social and political
equality of the negro"
The Presidents address at the luncheon
in the South Carolina state capitol today
was one of the best he has delivered in
the south. He said in part:
Taft's Address.
your committee from Columbia called
on me in Augusta before l had assumed
the care of office and were good enough
to invite me to come here. l said l would
come and 1 am here. That is one prom
Use of the administration that l have
redeemed. I do not claim any credit
for it because man who would not
come to Columbia when he could and en-
joy such a festlvity and welcome as this
does not understand a good thing when
he sees it.
Il am greatly honored to be received
by you in this, the house of representa-
tives of South Carolina, In your magnifi-
cent capitol l am greatly honored to
be received by your representative men
of the state, not only by the private cit
izen, but by the governor, the senators,
the chief justice and your congressman

welcome within the capitol walls of the
state and I take 1t as an expression on
your part of a desire to show that it Is
the state and the people of the state
that welcome me.
Feature of Reception.
Another and most delightful feature
of this reception is the presence of the
ladies, the real pride of South Carolina.
There was a time when we had banQuets
without the presence of that sex, that
we all love, and whose influence and
control we all secretly recognize. Now
we are letting them in to see the ami
mails eat. They show that patience, that
sweet sympathy with the selfish side of
man, that tolerance of those things about
him that we don't even ourselves admire
by allowing this arrangement to continue
for awhile. But the next time l come
to South Carolina I expect to dine with
the ladies and the gentlemen.
MY friends, am not inspired to say
much today because I feel so much more
than l can say. There Is something
about South Carolina with her traditions
as l look into the faces of her great
men and think what she has done, the
part she has played in all the great
historical crises of this country, thai
makes me take this reception from you
at your hands with feeling that 1 an
