NORMALS DISPLAY
 REMARKABLE FORM

Anniston, November 14.-(Special 1.-The most remarkable come back that has been evidenced in this section in some time is that which has been made by the Alabama Normal football team, which defeated the Sylacauga Normal team on Saturday afternoon by a score of 57 to 0. It is considered the result of hard training for the past few days and of the lessons learned in a series of de- feats.
 Henry Penton, the star Auburn back who figured in the success of the Ala bama Polytechnic institute for four years is coaching the Sylacauga team, and he demonstrated the fact that he has not lost form by getting in the game himself In the latter half last Saturday afternoon. making several brilliant plays. The other chief star was Boozer, an Anniston boy, who is playing with the Normal eleven.
 The comeback Is of peculiar interest in this city, as the Predestinarians of the Alabama Presbyterian college will play the teachers here in their final game of the season on Thanksgiving. They had been counting on an easy victory, but the news of this game will cause them to quicken their pace when the two elevens meet in this city.

FINE TRIBUTE WAS
 PAID TO COL. NEAL

| Chief Bodeker returned yesterday morn ing from Florence, where he attended the jubilee held by the citizens of Florence over the election of Emmet O'Neal to the governorship.
 "If anyone had been under the impress sion that Emmet O'Neal was not popular in his home town he would have quickly changed his mind had they been present at the jubilee," said the chief last night. "It was the most magnificent ovation that have ever seen accorded g. man by the citizens of his home town. There was scarcely a home in Florence that was not decorated and lighted in his honor.
 After the parade a number of speeches were made in front of Colonel O'Neals s home. Among those who talked were J. F. Stallings, J. W. Tomlinson, Congress- man Richardson and MT. Greer. I was especially impressed with the speech of MT. StalIings, which was a touching tfibute to Emmet O'Neal The governor elect made a very happy reply and threw open the doors of his palatial home to the visitors
 "A grand reception was held at his home after the response of Colonel O'Neal and was greatly impressed with the unconscious tribute paid him by the residents of his home town
 There is not a trace of snobbery in Colonel O'Neals nature. This was con clusively proven by his conduct during the reception. Congressman Richardson and the humblest visitor received exact ly the same treatment.
 ''The old saw that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country was certainly disproven by the jubilee"

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 am a travelling salesman spending much of my time within your busting state and trust you will not consider it undue meddling on my part to call your attention to the indifference of many hotelkeepers In your state to screen against the house fly and thus protect the health of their guests. In most cases 1t is the sheer ignorance of hotelmen, which causes his indif- ference to screening against this dead ly pest.
 The state of Mississippi has strin- gent statute requiring hotels to screen kitchens and dining rooms against the fly. Why not agitate such movement in your own state? Surely your leg islature cannot fail to respond by pass ing a sanitary measure of this kind. It will work no hardship on anyone, and may be the cause of saving to their families and the community many use- ful lives.
 Why not start a general movement and keep at 1t daily to warn the house. holders of the danger to health and life from the common house fly, spread typhoid fever. infantile paralysis and other infectious diseases2 Your pro- gressive public spirit will be placed in good and useful channels in com batting this deadly pest by eulight- ening the masses.
