Politics in Calhoun.

It has been the general impression lhat Calhoun county could be safely counteu in the Mallory column, and due to the fact that several prominent anti-amend- CTS have publicly announced In his 1a- vor, the Mallory forces have been resting on their oars and drifting on the crest of what they considered a Mallory wave; but within the past few weeks that wave has become less obvious. and 1t IS now conceded that unless there Is some ag- gressive campaigning, the county Will not likely go against the Florentine.
 Due to this fact. the Mallory men are going to organize with w. P. Acker' county chairman. and Col. Ross Black non as his leaders. It Is probable that a Mallory club will first be formed here, and with this as a central organization the campaign will be waged to all parts of the county.
 There have been no formal steps toward the organization of an O'Neal club, put the ONeal forces have an aggressive leader in J. J. Willett, who Will be the chief speaker at the rally of business men in Birmingham next Tuesday even ing and 1t is said that the majority Of the members of the Union club, pollti- cal orga nization under the leadership or Frank Farley, will rally under the pan- ner of the north Alabamian.
 Regardless of their alignment on the gubernatoria question or the recent amendment issue, however. Annistonlans and citizens of Calhoun will support John B. Knox in his candidacy for the united States Senate. although MT. Knox mas openly declared in favor of O Neal. Cap. A. P Agee, local manager. says that ne will get an unprecedented vote in the county, and his managers in all parts or the state. 1t was said today, are send ing in reports of increasing strength.

MARION IS WINNER
Up State Team Takes Local
High School Into Camp
Last Night.
CONTEST WAS A ROUGH ONE

In one OF the toughest games of
basket ball ever seen on the 'Y' floor
the team representing the Marion
high school, defeated the Richmond
high school by the score of 81 to 10
The Marion team did not play basket
ball, but persisted in using football
tactics Richmond clearly played the
better game, but did not have the luck
connected with the game. While Ma.
rion can claim the victory, they put up
a game that would be a credit to Rug
by. Each man on the local team can
be credited with a good and fair game.
Powers played the best for Marion, but
that is not saying much. In the first
half Allison, Taggart and Hasemeier
are credited with one field goal each,
while Allison made three foul goals.
For Marion, Powers made three fields
and Peters one. In the second half
Allison made two foul goals and Tag
CART made two fields. Hasemeier al
so made two fields this half. Powers
again made three fields this half while
Peters made two fields and three foul
goals. The lineup and summary:

All Negotiations Have Been In
definitely Postponed
As a Result.
GREAT ANGER is AROUSED
At THE UNITED STATES BE-
CAUSE AMERICAN WARSHIP RE-
FUSED TO CONVEY GEN. DIAZ,
WHO WAS DROWNED.
(American News Service)

Bluefields, Jan. S.-Peace negotia-
tions between the forces OF General
Estrada and President Madriz have
been definitely postponed as result
of the death of Gen. Fernen DiaZ, the
insurgent leader, who was drowned
off the coast near Greytown while on
his way to confer with the peace re-
presentatives of Zelayas' successor.
There is now no prospect that de-
cisive battle at Acoyapa can be avert
ed, with probably heavy loss OF life.
The death of Gen. Diaz, who was
generally beloved, has cost the Unit
ed States many more friends here. 1t
is understood that an appeal was made
to the commander Of an American war
vessel to take him to Greytown, but
the request was refused and he start
ed out in small boat that was swamp
ed by heavy seas.
Enemy Of Madriz.
Although Diaz was politically a bit
ter enemy of President Madriz. the
personal relations between the two
were close. General Diaz took up the
task Of bringing about an agreement
between the oposing forces against the
advice of his friends. and his inter
cession was the last hope of a peace
pact being arranged.
Gen. Diaz undertook to reach Mana
qua over the route on which one OF
the divisions of Gen. Estrada's army
is advancing on the capital-by the
sea the San Juan river from Grey
town, and Lake Nicaragua.
He was one Of the foremost Of the
rebels, and probably the most power
full next to Estrada.
He left sick bed to take charge
or the strategic work at Rama before
the government defeat, and was large
ly responsible for the result of the
battle.
Bluefields was in mourning today
and services for the dead hero were
held in the military camps and the
churches.

Washington, Jan. GA party OF
getlemen from the West entered the
House restaurant recently to get a
bite to eat. 1t was their first visit
to the Capitol in eight years. They
expressed great surprise at the i'm
provements made, but when they ask
ed a waiter for a wine card and were
informed that liquor was no longer
sold in the restaurant they almost
lost their breath. Then they noticed
that the "atmosphere" of the place was
different. There was no crowd. al
though it was noon, an hour when in
former years, the place was comforta-
bly, filled. They were also comment
ing on the fact that there was a scar
city of women patrons. They were
anxious to learn the cause of the
cause of the changed conditions for,

dream when l recall the scenes of for
men times, when important legislative
deals and combines were consumated
in the restaurant over a lunch and
bottle of wine"
Instead of an elaborate luncheon
they ordered pie and milk and then
visited a wet goods establishment.
While the proprietor Of the restau-
rant lost an order for what might have
been a costly luncheon.
This is the experience of old-timers
who returned for visit to the Capt.
toll expecting to again see the lively
times of yore on the Hill. For many
years the restaurants Of the House
and Senate were the most attractive
features of the Capitol, attractive in
the sense that it was here that one
could almost surely find the states
man one might be seeking. Seldom,
indeed were the restaurants between
the hours of ! o'clock in the morn
ing and five in the evening ever
empty. There was always business
especially toward the close of Con-
gress. and in the closing days wet
goods were in such demand. that it
was difficult to even get a sandwich.
Sometimes, visit of leading prohi-
bitionists to the eating department Of
the big building would result in the
publication Of an attack on Congress
for maintaining a drinking hell as
it was termed. Then the Speaker of
the House, whose jurisdiction extends
over the restaurant, and the commit
tee Of rules in the Senate. who ex-
ercise like Jurisdiction over the res
taurant in that end Of the Capitol,
would issue an order prohibiting the
sale of liquors; and for several days,
perhaps a week. the order would be
observed. Members and Senators new

would insist upon being 'accomodat'

popular. Whiskey would be served
this way for quite a while, or until
