HAVE LIVELY FIGHT
 OVER FRANCHISE
Louisville and Nashville Objects to Proposed Line Crossing It's
 Tracks at Point Asked

Montgomery, october 12.-(Speeian.- One of the prettiest railroad fights ever waged in. Mont gomery is in process nere at the present time as a result Of the consideration by the board of city com missoners of a petition of the proposed Montgomery and Chattanooga Railroad company, in which the franchise rights of crossing the neck of the Louisville and Nashville railroad yards are asked. The Louisville and Nashville officials are strenuously obiecting to the franchise on the ground that the crossing at the point named would greatly interfere with yard traffic. The Montgomery and Chat tanooga Railroad company on the other hand, is contending that rnless the per mission to cross the tracks at the par ticuar street named, they will be unable to enter industrial Montgomery.
 As a means of offsetting the petition, the railroad officials of the Louisville and Nashville carrier are extending their while at the same time the road is plac- ing additional tracks at the particular desired crossing The new tracks are being laid on different level. the result being that should the commission grant tanooga company will have to pay a heavy indemnity to bring about level grade.
 Tho new railroad is to extend from Montgomery to Alexander City, one of the finest agricultural stretches in the state. The franchise question will be acted on by the commission next Tues day.

WALKER COUNTY FAIR
Disappointed Because Exhibits Were
 Not Brought to Birmingham

Jasper, October 12.-(Specal.) 1.-The Wal ker county fair proved a huge success in one way and in another an absolute failure. It was intended in the beginning of the organization of the fair that this venture would be forerunner of tho Birmingham fair and that was the req son that the date was set so early, so as to allow Walker county to prepare an ample and excellent exhibit to repre- sent her at the big state fair. The ex- hibits that appeared here at the county fair were as fine as ever seen in this section and in large quantities and every one was expecting and anticipating that Walker county would rank with the first when the exhibit was moved to Birming- ham, but the night of the closing day of the, fair the farmers who had con- tributed so liberally and generously with a healthy display of farm products, ran- sacked the main exhibit building of It's magnificent and abundant store of prize winners.
 Last year Walkers exhibits were a near failure in that they were or too scant nature for anyone to appreciate the quality of the products displayed 30 this year the public spirited formed an association planning for a magnificent display at the state fair. Thus the plans they had cherished all year met sudden death and the untimely act Of the farm- CTS in taking their products away ac- counts for the fact that visitors to the state fair do not see Walker couhty exhibit. It is thought that by next year they will have become acquainted witn

SPEAKING WAS HELD
 AT GERMANIA PARK
Parade Was Reviewed by Commits sioner Weatherly, Lieut.. Gov. Seed and Prominent Italians
 and Other Citizens

Brilliant and altogether in keeping with the spirit of the occasion was the celebration yesterday of the anniver- sary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, which was planned and carried out in perfect de- tail by the United Italian societies of the Birmingham district
 The celebration was begun with re- ligious ceremonies at St. Pauls church at o'clock yesterday morning, con dueted by Rev Patrick Turner, pastor ofs the Church of the Blessed sacra- ment at West End, and included par ade, an afternoon programme of speeches at Germania park and fur ther jollification last night.
 But the crowning feature of the days programme was the parade. It was gorgeous and impressive with as many participants and so many features that it would have done credit to any eel ebration of like nature in any city.

 Religious Services
 At 8 o'clock in St. Pauls church a solemn mass of thanksgiving in honor of Christopher Columbus was eele- hIated The Rev. John B. Canepa, a native of Genoa and now pastor of the Church of San Marco East Thomas, was the celebrant. The Rev. Robert J. McQuillen, pastor of St Anthony s church, Ensley. was deacon, and the Rev. Father Reilly of the Church of Our Lady Immaculate Birmin gham. ub-deacon. The Rev. Father Coen of St. Paurs was master of ceremonies. Fathers Coyle, Klisch and O'Kelly were also present, and Father Turner, pas tor of the Church of the Blessed Saera- ment, West End, delivered the ser mon.
 The Knights of Columbus attended
 in a body. Many of St. Paul's parish toners were present and many Italians from the Birmingham district were also in attendance
 The sermon of Father Turner was heard with great attention. Phe speak CT dwelt on the character of the great navigator and showed how he was ani- mated with the spirit of faith and how his deep religious conviction buoyed him up in discoura cement and diffi- culty. till finally he accomplished the achievement that has made immortal his name. He pointed out that when Columbus began his first voyage Henry VIII was Catholic child and Martin Luther a Catholic boy, studying his Catholic catechism in a Catholic shool from Catholic teachers.
 The speaker then showed how provi dential the discovery was; how, wheE fierce religious prosecutions were lay ing waste the Old World, the New World opened up haven for the op- pressed of every race and every creed. He then dwelt on the fact that though all other nations have suffered from religious prosecutions the United States in its constitution guarantees liberty of worship and freedom to all.
 Father Turner then concluded by pointing out the appropriateness of celebrating Columbus Day by mass of thanksgiving, since Columbus was loyal son of mother church. and since ia the age in which he lived. his coun- try became thoroughly Catholic and was great. Addressing the Italians present he pointed out that the great est men that have shed luster in their race-the great orators, poets Sculptors and painters, the old ma ster of music and of art. were men renowned for their loyalty to the faith and their country He urged on them and on all Cath holics to show forth by their earnest practical Catholicy the beauty of the faith that anima ted Columbus and led him on OCT trackless seas to win the Western World to God.
 The boys choir, under the leadership of Father coen, sang the responses with fine intonation during the holy sacrifice.
