FEAST IS PLANNED
 FOR BASEBALL MEN

Atlanta. Ga. February 1S.-(Special.)- The Atlanta Baseball association has sent out invitations to a banquet which Will
 follow the meeting of the Southern league mogus February 21. The feast
 will be spread in the banquet hall of the
 Dalatfal Piedmont hotel on the evening of the Fist. and since the Big Eats trail
 along so closely after the awarding or
 the 1909 pennant to the Atlanta club 1t is
 suspected by some of those invited that there will be allusions to that happy
 event ere the tapers twinkle out that
 night
 President Kavanaugh and his staff, all
 the visiting baseball managers and their
 cohorts, many local baseball lights and the former manager for the Atlanta club,
 William Smith, now of Buffalo, have been invited and all will doubtless attend the banquet. It is custom at these feasts for everyone who has the power of
 speech to say something, and 1t Is there fore probable that some rare and spark ling diamond wit and humor will be sand wiched in between the hot birds and the creme de menthe The sport writers Of the league who will attend the meeting will also attend the banquet, which makes the wit and humor assurance doubly sure. | The league meeting at this season or 1 the year is always held, in the city in which the pennant has been won, and
 by token of this fact the meeting Of next year will also be held in Atlanta, though
 this part of the programme will not be mentioned at the forthcoming feast. The l Atlanta association is keeping it as a
 great secret from the other managers.

SHORT SCHEDULE
 IS AGREED UPON National League Magnates Finally Come to Terms TIME STRETCHED OUT Games Will He Played Until October 15 Fly the League Which En-
 iIreIy Disresnrds American
 League Dates
TIME STRETCHED OUT

New York. February 1S.--The National league tonight adopted a playing schedule ,alling for 154 games for the coming sea- son, but 1t was only accomplished after a majority or the magnates had expressed their opinion that newspaper criticism over the delay was causing unfavorable publicity.
 Though the wishes of the American league for a 154g game schedule were met. the American leagues interests were dis regarded when 1t was resolved to stretch me schedule out to october 15 The Amer jcan league schedule terminates on Oc- tober 2. although all league contracts with players call for service until October b. Ebbets of Brooklyn and Murphy of Chicago insisted on using their players up to the contract time.
 Barney I.reyfuss of Pittsburg was the only club owner willing to make eonees- sions and he saved the league from what seemed to be a hopeless deadlock.
 Pittsburg was scheduled for six Sunday games in Cincinnati where there is no op- position and where such dates have been exceptionally remunerative. St. Louis was scheduled for six Sunday games in Chicago, and four of these were when the champion Detroits of the American league were to play the Chicago Amer 
 holding that Detroit would draw the big crowds. Then Barney Dreyfuss, with his world champions, stepped in and offered to take three of. the St. Louis conflicting dates. Tho matter was settled today by changing St. Louis to Cincinnati and Pittsburg to Chicago, so thot in Chicago it will be seen whether the Pirates or the Tigers are the more popular.
 After a two-hours' discussion the board decided that it had jurisdiction over the Murray case and accordingly notified the Philadelphia club officials that they must explain within 15 days why Murray's con- tract was broken. The answer will be sent 10 President Lynch who in turn will forward q copy to each of the five di- re- tors. .r will then be decided whether another meeting of the board shall be called or whether the case shall be fin- ally adjudlcated by g. mail vote.
 The league members will know tomor- rcw morning whether they will continue tho discussion of the proposed eonstitu- ticnal changes.

Johnson Utters Mild Threat

Chicago. February 1S.-"The American league will not object to any minor changes that the National league may make in its 154-game schedule" said President Johnson.
 "The agreement reached by the joint schedule committee of the two leagues 1t the Pittsburg meeting is binding on both schedules but we will waive that right to some extent.
 T wish to repeat that the two harmoni- ous schedules decided upon by the com mittee are the best that the two leagues have had since they have been work ing together on the dates. If the Ma tional league makes any changes that are not acceptable to the American league and persists fin keeping them, llen we will consider our agreement at an end. We are not looking for trouble and that rests entirely with the other lea g1le."

T. H. MOTION FOR LEGISLATURE

To the Voters of Jefferson County:
 In response to requests and suggestions I have decided to announce myself candidate for the legislature, and in max ing this announcement. want to lay before the people of Jefferson county a plain statement of my position on issues and subjects that will probably come be- fore our next legislature.
 The Fee system
 am unalterably opposed to the fee system, and especially with reference to the sheriffs office. and if elected snasi do all in my power to have some law enacted to cure the abuses Of the pres ent system. Where there is a will and desire, there ought to be way to make 1t less profitable to the sheriff of Jener- son county to lock and unlock the jail door. l am frankly of the opinion that were 1t not for the fee system, our pres ent jail and courthouse would be ample and sufficient for long time to come.
 Bessemer County Opposition
 If elected I would have those who favor making two counties out of Je1er- sons territory to know that have never yet seen any good to come from such an accomplishments, and until better reasons are suggested than I have heard, l shall oppose any bill or measure that Is de- signed to divide the county.
 Jefferson county Alabama, is endowed with more wealth, developed ana uhue- veloped than any other county in the south, and the showings we make in the government census reports and other statistics as to our wealth and population rebound to the benefit of every interest, and is one of our most valuable assets. Every citizen should be proud or this imperial county of the south.
 Greater Birmingham
 My position and the active interest took in bringing about a realization Of Greater Birmingham was never under | cover, and am sure many of the voters residing within the limits of this great city, who differed on the subject, VIII accord to me due credit for honestly be- lieving that 1t will result in the solution of many necessary problems fin thickiy populated territory. such as we have IT ....s valley. My observations and study of sanitary conditions. while acting as q member of the sanitary commission l first led me to the conclusion that It was | an imperative necessity to have all thi' l territory under one municipal govern mcnt. Other reasons and advantages art too numerous to mention herein. Nov 1 that Greater Birmingham Is reality | would like to see every section or tns 4 city given a fair and square deal.

Prohibition and Temperance

I don't believe there is man in Ala bama more opposed to intemperance than am, but I am not prepared to say what is the best solution of the liquor ques- ton. tj
 The saloon system, as run in Birming ham, was a nuisance and disgrace; the blind tiger system is most corrupting and debasing
 I am opposed to some features of the Fuller bill and other laws enacted by our last legislature, believing they are ab- surd and ridiculous.
 I opposed with all my power and with what influence was at my command the ratification of the proposed constitutional prohibition amendment. believe that personal liberty granted to the people by our constitution, and am better pleased and satisfied with my native state than ever before, because of the fact that tremendous majority of our citizens believe as 1 do in these rghts=guaranteed by the federal consfi- tuition and the constitution of our own state.
 Capital and Labor I believe in absolute justice to capital and labor. In large measure one Is de- pendent on the other, and the man who Is selected as a representative of all the people should consider the interest or all. I am strongly opposed to legislation that Is intended or calculated to cripple corporations that are so essential in the devlopument of our resources. I favor such laws as will encourage and invite foreign corporations, such as trust and insurance compa nies. to lend money l In Alabama at low rate of interest | I spent years of my boyhood and young manhood on the farm, and know the | necessity for such laws as will protect | and encourage the farmer.
 To the citizens of this county, irrespec-
 tive of politics, views on prohibition laws
 or any other questions of the past, pres
 ent or future. I would say that if l am
 elected as your representative l VII serve you to my ability, and I would have my best friends know that will not sacrifice Q principle to serve them
 My ideal man is he who knows his duty and dares do it--without regard to con seouences. T. II. MOTION. 1 February 1S, 1910.

High Praise of Maj. Graham.

Lexington Dispatch.
Major William A. Graham, Com
missioner of Agriculture, is doing
more for North Carolina than any
commissioner of agriculture the State
has ever had. Good men preceded
him, but as commissioner he has sur
passed them all. The department has
been sleeping; he woke it up. His
subordinates are on the Jump; they
earn their pay. Although he has
something Ike three score and ten
years to his credit, he is the youngest
man in the State. Were he not more
than forty. we doubt ifanybody could
stay in North Carolina for the noise
which growing crops would make. He
is live wire and during his first
year as commissioner he has accom-
plished much. Commissioner Ora
ham and Mr.. Clarence II. Poe are do
ing more for this State than any
dozen men. The Dispatch wishes
them both unlimited strength to la
Dor for North Carolina.

Virginia Legislature Keeps Hands
Off State Wide Prohibition.
Raleigh State Democrat.

Raleigh State Democrat.
Since prohibition has failed in Vir-
ginia, simply because it was found
that it would do violence to that
time-honOred principle of the Demo
cratic party, local seIf-government.
"What right said the members of
the Legislature, "have the mountain
counties of the State to say what
Richmond, Petersburg, Norfolk and
the other parts of the State shall do
in their local affairs?" When these
eternal principles of Democracy were
rung out from the legislative halls,
they carried conviction to the mind
of every real Democrat. The same
thing was true in South Carolina,
and will be so everywhere when the
real test appears.
