DUNCAN FLETCHER PREDICTS VICTORY Says Democrats Will Win in Campaign of
 1912

Montgomery, November S.-tspecial)- According to United States Senator Dun can U. Fletcher of Florida, the demo- crats will win in the national campaign of 1912 In an interview given out In this city the Floridan says that he pre- oicts an easy victory, though he was nop-committal as to upon whom the dem- ocratic nomination for President would rest
 Regarding the three leading candidates, Oscar w. Underwood, Gov. Judson Har- nor and Gov. Woodrow Wilson, the sen ator said:
 T am not going on record as predict ing the man, but I call attention to the fact that Alabamians must not forget Oscar Underwood. He is gathering strength every day. and you would be surprised to know that he is strong i the north, despite the fact that he is q southerner. I believe there is no longer sectional lines in the country, and l be- lieve that the people would be willing to accept a southerner if he is big enough for the job. oscar Underwood, in my opinion is certainly big enough for the ioh"

WILLIAMS FAVORS
 UMPIRE TRAINING

Chicago, November 23.-A course of spring training for umpires in the Na- tlonal and American Baseball leagues is advocated by Charles G. Williams of the Chicago Nationals.
 'Each spring finds the star batsmen of the game frequently striking out be- fore easy pitchers" said Williams yes- terday This is in a measure due to the fact that the ball looks artificial in its journey toward the plate and often 1t takes three weeks of practice before the batter recovers his eyesight. The game condition prevails with the umpire, who is back of the catching Judging the delivery.

ON POLICE FORCE
 FOR MANY YEARS

A record possessed by but few po- lice officers In the United States Is that of Capt J. g. Johnston of the local police force.
 On Wednesday of this week Captain Johnston celebrated very quietly the silver anniversary of his citizenship of the city of Birmingham, having moved to the promising little city November %, 1886. from Livingston. Ala.
 Shortly after his removal to Bir- mingham, February 2, 1887. young Johnston secured a place on the po- lice force, which he has kept ever since. He has worked his way during that time from patrolman to captain and is possibly the oldest man in the service in Birmingham.
 A feature of his career as an officer which stands out in bold relief to all others is that during his service as a police officer Captain Johnston has

 WINTER QUARTERS
The Entom0logists Find 12 Counties of State In-
 fested With Pests

Auburn. November 23.-(SpeciaD. The
 boil weevil has gone into winter quar-
 ters and will march no more in Alabama
 this season. But he has marched far all
 ready; the line which he has reached to
 the day of the killing frost of November
 12 has been located by pr. w. D. Hinds,
 professor of entomology at Auburn and
 state entomologist, and his assistants, w.
 F. Turner and l. W. Carpenter.
 The three entomologists have spent a
 week in south and west Alabama, estab-
 fishing the limits of the boil weevil march, returning only yesterday. It was deter mined that F counties of the state are wholly or partly infested. including Mo bile, Baldwin, Washington, Clarke, Choc- Jaw, and practically all of Sumter, to- tally infested, Pickens, Marengo, Wilcox. Monroe. Conecuh and Escambia, crossed by weevil line of advance, and partly in- cluded in the list of infested counties.
 With the killing frost the weevil, as Is his habit, went into winter quarters Dr. Hinds has traced definitely the line at which the progress of the weeyil stopped in Alabama
 Through southwest Pickens county from about Columbus. Miss, through Memphis. Pickens county; thence in a southerly direction west of Gainesville and Epes, through Coatopa, in Sumter county; through Myrtlewood and Hamp- ton. in Marengo county. east of Bethel, Wilcox county. through Monroe. Monroe county, to Repton, Conecuh county; thence through Pollard in Escambia and directly south to the gulf, through Santa Rosa county, Fla.
 Dr. Hinds will speak at the Atlanta meeting of entomologists on facts that should be taken into consideration in the of boil weevil regulations and quarantine regulations. to be applied to Infested areas.
 It Is up to the farmers, said Dr. Hinds 10 eliminate much danger of 1912 infesta- lion by using the prescribed preventative methods this fall.
 Although the weevil has gone Into l winter quarters" said Dr. Hinds, 'it will | still be advisable for the cotton fields to | De thoroughly cleaned and all rubbish | hat might shelter the weevils should be | destroyed. Just as important, or nearly | IS important, Is this task in territory | which the weevil has just reached as in | 'lder infested territory. The easiest way o fight the weevil in 1912 is to destroy hose that are going through this winter, md this can best be done now.'

 never harmed a prisoner whom he had arrested. He has never been called upon to use his club or his pistol in any way. and has never come away gone In connection with his arrests it was his lot several years ago. dur ing the Wier regime, to engineer the capture and arrest of a band of negro highwaymen who were operating in this city and who were wanted for larger crimes than robbery-murder being the principal one. The name of the band was only to be mentioned to inspire the greatest dread in the hearts of belated pedestrians in Bir- mingham.
 But with a bunch of picked men Cap tain Johnston captured those despera- does and lodged them in jail without a scratch on either officers or prisoners, a feat which was the marvel of the times.
 While Captain Johnston Is 5S years of age he is still youngster in ways and no one gets more pleasure out of life than he. His laugh is the loudest and longest of any at the police sta- tion. off duty his is lone of the boys and on duty he is all that is required of a superior officer of the police force. His men serve him not through fear or. awe. but through love for the man.
 It is said by not a few that crime cannot be mentioned for which Cap tain Johnston has not arrested some one. From the most obscure to the most prominent of the code he has err forced the laws, and it is a notab ble fact that his man is nearly always the right one.

 SUIT AT JACKSON
Officers Seek to Recover Fees on Lands Sold

Jackson, Miss. November 2s.-(Special) An interesting suit has been filed here against the state of Mississippi, Attorney l General Hudson, Land Commissioner Gill lespie, Treasurer Edwards and Auditor
 Smith, in which F. $. Hewes. chancery clerk; George P. Hewes, ex-sherim and
 tax collector: A. J. Ramsey. ex-sheriff; F. Seal, ex-sheriff, and William Reeves, Jr., ex-sheriff of Harrison county, seek to recover some sl000 or s5000 in the way of fees on lands sold to the. state for taxes.
 In the first place, the state cannot be sued, and in the second place suits against the state officials in this case will ac- cording to the opinion of said officials, amount to nothing.

Then there was a fight, in which the secretary came out best, but not before his hands had been clawed and scratched all over. The hawk was taken home and placed in a cage.
