The Hiawatha team won a loosely

noon by score of 6 to 5, the contest
being marred by eleven errors, nearly
ell of which were costly for one team
or the other. The count should have
been / to 0 in favor of the Hiawatha
team as only one earned run was
scored during the game.

station on Sunday afternoon, two of
his wabbles being on hard chances,
however. The defense was greatly
weakened by the absence of Darling
at third base, Tiger being forced to
play the position, with Householder in

helped out by contributing their share
of costly errors and the locals pulled
victory in spite of the weakened in

give up all of its rights to make CT alter the resolutions of the state for the election of United States senators. This he said was what the amended resolu- ton will provide. The amended reso- luton if Its substance was approved by the states would result in the states disfranchising colored voters, if they so desired, without Congress being al blc to raise a hand.
 Il strongly favor the joint resolution to provide for the election of senators by direct vote of the people" said Sem ator Curtis. 'But-sI do not think 1t should be burdened with the objectional and unfair provisions placed in it by one of the senators from the state of Kansas, the home of old John Brown the advance agent of liberty, who gave his life to hasten the conflict which resulted in freeing the slaves, I cannot support the rider or joker placed in the resolution by a majority of the committed"
 That Senator Bristow would consider the amendment to the resolution as im- material was a matter of regret with Senator Curtis.
 After the war was over, in order to meet new conditions, the constitution was amended and the fifteenth amend ment declares that the right of citi- zens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the Uni ted States or by any state on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude.
 This amendment was made to pro tect the former slaves who had been freed and yet we find state after state by grandfather and other clauses de- priving them of their rights.
 If the resolution as amended is passed and the constitution Is amended as provided therein, the Congress gives up all it's rights to make or alter the regulations of a state for the election of United States senators and if cleo tors are disfranchised, if outrages ara perpetrated, and if fraud Is committed. or if corrupt practices are resorted to, Congress remains helpless.

John Johnson Was Convicted of Mur-

Centreville. February 13.-(Special J. Jack Johnson. young negro. who was convicted in the circuit court of Bibb county about year ago for killing an- other negro by the name of Trick Cot tingham and given a death sentence, which was affirmed by the supreme court ori appeal, will be hanged at the county jail here on Friday of this week unless Governor O'Neal interferes. It is under stood that some of the court officers have asked the governor to commute the sen tence to life imprisonment. Since he has been confined in jail Jack has made d good record and has gained the sympathy Of several citizens. who think he ought not to be hung. It is also stated that he Is not very bright. It is stated that Gov erfior O'Neal has asked for a transcript of the evidence in the case.
 The regular term of the commissioner s court will convene here today There is considerable work to be transacted at this term and the court will doubtless be in session several days
 The people of Bbb county are consider sbly interested in the plan to redistrict tire state as to congressional districts As the population of Jefferson county is sufficient under the proposed new appor- torment for that county alone to consti- tute new congressional district, Bibb county will necessarily be placed else where,

SIDEWALK SURVEY
Cullman Getting Ready to Make Ex-

CIllman, February 13.-(Special. .)-The contract for the work of making the sur vey of the town for the installation of sidewalks has been let to w. A. Mccall la of Decatur by the mayor and city coun- oil. The work will be commenced this week if the weather permits. Just as soon as Mir McCalla has made a preliminary survey and has given an estimate of the cost of the sidewalks the contract will be let for putting down the concrete walks. This cannot be done until the cost has been ascertained. There are a number of men who have bid on the construction work, and the bids have not yet been opened, but will possibly be considered ar the next monthly meeting of the city council.
 There is also a demand for the installa- tion of sewerage system, tSt owing to the financial condition of the town this important addition will probably be post poned until a later date, until after the sidewalks have been completed. How ever, 1t is thought that a temporary sys- tenn will be made along with the building of sidewalks. but the installation of stor,,' sewers will not be made at this time. f

Y Hot Or the Big College Gridirons

The Princeton varsity had their
hands more than full to keep the
scrubs from beating them yesterday
afternoon in the first regular practise
game of the season. At the close of the
two periods played the score stood tied,
each team having made one touch
down.
The poor defense of the varsity es-
pecially In the line was decidedly dis
appointing. Hammond and Hubbel
gained five yards at a clip through
the varsity line, while the former also
succeeded in ciroling the ends for good
gains. Farr, at quarterback, ran the
team well and also contributed to the
ground gained by the scrubs with sew
eral good gains through centre.
After catching n of Penfleld's punts
in mid-feld the scrubs were never once
forced to relinquish the ball until Ham,
mond had scored.
The regulars, on the other hand, had
more trouble in making their touch
down. AS usual, the varsity backs
gained almost at will in mid-fleld, but
as soon as they approached the shadow
of the scrubs goal post the gains came
a great Zeal harder.
