 TELEPHONE RATES
Cullman Citizens and Bell Officials Hold Conference Tues
 day Night

Cullman, December 5-(Special. )-Pur- suant to previous arrangements a meet ing of the citizens of Cullman was held in the Buchanan building, at which time a final settlement of the telephone con troversy between the people of this city and the Southern Bell Telephone company was practically reached.
 MT. Robertson stated the object of the meeting, and introduced MT. Hoxey, who appeared for his company. and made a why the company intended to increase their present rates for service. Mir. Hox- ey made special mention of his former visit to Cullman, at which time he ap- peared before the board of directors of the Comercial club, and at which time he informed that body of the company s reason for increase of rates. MT. Hoxey declared that the increase in rates was not an injustice to the people and was made necessary because of the cost of operation.
 The only proposition in the way of a compromise offered by the company was to put half the increase in rates into effect January l, 1912, and the remaining half to be put into effect January 1, 1913. From the sentiment shown 1t was not the purpose of the meeting to make any compromise, and the offer was courteously refused.
 It is apparent that the people mean business in the fight on the new proposed rates and from evidences displayed last night there is not a likelihood that the people will stand for the increase, Vice President HoXey asked that he be pro vided with a copy of the resolution passed that he might put the matter before other officials of the company for their con sideration. No satisfactory agreement could be reached last night between the company and the citizens of the town, and should the Bell company refuse to comply with the requirements of the reso- lution adopted. steps toward the perfec- ton of a home organization will be taken at once. Another meeting will be held next Monday night with view to this work.
 MT. Hoxey left Cullman last night di- rect for New York where 1t is presumed that the matter will be put before the officials of the company and an answer relative to the various propositions sub mitted to the company by the city Is expected at an early date.

been a big increase in serious crimes, and a corresponding decrease in the num- Der of arrests for smaller ones.
 For instance, where 1910 returned only nine bound over for murder, a total of II are already in the higher courts, and the year has a month to run,
 Burglary has also had a climb up the ladder, but the increase is probably for larger than is shown by the number of people bound over, That indicates only of course the activities of the police.
 Up to date there have been 36 cases, with only 27 last year,
 In the smaller crimes, though, there has been a remarkable change, Take drunks, for instance. There are only 2S32 cases, while in 1910 there were something over 2S00, a remarkable difference, As there is the month of December, with all the Christmas jaSs to come, this humber will be swelled some, but certainly not by 300 cases,

Cunman, December 5.-(Special)-The suspense on the part of the congrega- tion of the First Methodist church of this city was ended last night when 1t was made known that their former pas tor, the Rev. z. A. Bowling, would not be returned to Culman for another year. MT. Bowling has been the pastor of thls church for only one year. and his work here has been all that could be desired in every respect. He will be sent to Sheffield to assume the pastorate of the First Methodist church of that city. and the Rev Bowling will be succeeded in Cullman by the Rev L. F. Stansill, for merlv pastor of the church to which Dr. Bowling has been sent

Some Bitter Sarcasm
le New York Herald

From the New York Herald.
 Not much cider is manufactured in Westchester county for export, nearly all of it being consumed at home. Two Tuck ahoe farmers were comparing notes.
 How many barrels have you put up this year. Silas?" said one.
 "OnIy seven, Joel,' was the reply.
 "Got any handy?''
 Sure thing, Silas, and Joel went into the house, returning soon with some of the apple elixir in a big tin dipper. 'There," said he. 'try that" and Silas slipped.
 Well what do you think of it?' Joel inquired
 Silas shook his head dubiously.
 Don't you like 1t, Silas?' was the anxious inquiry.
 How many barrels did you say you made. Joel?" asked Sias "Seven'
 Well Joel. If you had another apple you might have made eight"

STREET SELECTS AN ALL
 SOUTHERN s. l. A. A. TEAM

well as having an accurate pass. At quarterback Morrison of Vanderbilt is the best in Dixie Such remarka ble speed, power and lodging ability has
 never been shown before. Woodruff of Georgia is great in running in broken
 fields. and has handled a machine of far
 greater variety of plays than any other quarterback Moody, Newell, Cellars Myers and Wingo are all good quarters and can catch punts and run well in a broken field On account. of Morrison's generalship he will be selected as cap tain of the team.
 Behind the line at full back Davis of Auburn, Sizes of Vanderbilt, Malone of
 Georgia, are the best. AS second fullback
 stands Patterson of Tech. who IS a good offensive man, as well as a good punter
 and place kicker As halfbaclls McWhor- ter and Hardage have qualities that are exceptionally difficult to find grouped in any two back field men. Hardage has a shade on almost any other half in the south, because he can be used as line plunger along with his great end running gains and open field work.
 Williams of Mississippi and Cahal of the University of Mississippi are both hard running, experienced men. Walms- ley of Tulane, Bowden of Georgia, George of Tech, Curlen and Collins of Vanderbilt. are all good backfie,d men
 and would be of great assistance to any team.
 Morrison should do all the kicking on the first team, and Gillem, Cahall
 and Major on the second team. Patter- son will be chosen captain of the sec ond team.
 The teams are:
 First-vandegraaff, Alabama, end;
 Cogdell, Auburn, end; Freeland, Van derbilt tackle; Barker, University of Mississippi, tackle; Metzger, Wander bilt,, guard; Bonner, Auburn. guard; Morrison, Vanderbilt. quarterback, Me Whorter, Georgia. halfback; Hardage. Vanderbilt, halfback; Davis, Auburn, fullback; Morgan, Vanderbilt, center. Second-Gillenl, Sewanee, end; D. Brown, Vanderbilt end; Lamb, Auburn,
 tackle; Ellard, Mississippi A. and M., tackle; Major, Auburn, guard; Peacock, Georgia, guard Woodruff, Georgia, quarterback; Williams, Mississippi A.
 and NJ, halfback; Cahall, University of Mississippi halfback; Patterson. Tech,
 full back; Grice, Mercer, fullback.

 This is the result of the crusade wllr,< is waged. every now and then, to clear the streets of undesirables, and to force everybody to go to work. The cases for this year already show an increase of 10, with more to come.

Auburn, December 5.-(Special.)- Will Streit of Auburn, assistant coach at the Alabama Polytechnic institute, player on the Auburn team during the seasons of 19O4-O5 -o6, and at Washing ton and Lee 1907-os, has selected an alI-southern S. I. A. A. team for the 1911 season.
 Taking up the individual qualifica- tions of those who are to be picked to make up alI-southern (S. l. A A.) team for the season of 1911 the fol- lowing is of interest:
 Beginning at ends, Vandegraaff of Alabama and Cogdell eof Auburn are admittedly the best on the gridiron, a type of power, speed and judgment. Both are good at running with the ball and tower of strength on defense.
 Gllem of Sewanee is an excellent kicker and a-good end. but really not up to the call of Vandegraaff and Cog cell. E. Brown of Vanderbilt is an- other good end.
 At tackles are many good men and it will be a hard job to select two who are the best all round men. Free land of Vanderbilt and Barker of Mis- sissippi university must have the call ever Harrell of Georgia Ellard of Mis- sssipp A. and M, and Lamb of Au- burn and Powell of Alabama. Freeland is the best defensive tackle that has played in Dixie without a doubt With him is Barker, who is good on defense and both are good at running with the ball from the tackle position.
 At guards Metzger of Vanderbilt stands at the top, big man who can be used as fulback for he has good speed and the ability. Peacock of Georgia is a big fellow and with Sinclair of Tech would make a great pair for any line. But Bonner of Auburn has shade the best for he has experience and is a great help to any team on the defense.
 Major of Auburn, though shifted from guard to halfback, is line man of un- usual ability on account of his kicking snd great defensive work.
 At center Morgan of Vanderbile, by his exceptional quickness in getting down under punts, las won the first call at center. This man is big fellow, weigh ing around 230 pounds G;rice of Mercer is man of unusual ability, playing on a weak team, and even at that showing great defense work in every game, as

NEW LUMBER PLANT

Tuscaloosa December 5.--(Specia1.)-- President F. c. Blair announced at tre special meeting of the board of trade last night that the Central Foundry company would build mammoth plant at Holt, near Tuscaloosa, in the near future and centralize all it's energies in Tuscaloosa. MT. Blair announced that the equipment was on the road to begin work and that several hundred tons of sheet steel and ,2500 barrels of cement had been ordered for immedi- ate delivery.
 The announcement of this great in- dustry following close upon the Kaul Lumber company and the Tuscaloosa Mineral railroad was received with great enthusiasm, for the value of the locating of such immense industrial plants cannot be over estimated, and the citizens feel that the coming of the Central Foundry company is the greatest thing that has ever happened in the history of Tuscaloosa. One of the conditions stated before this com pany made a final decision to locate in our midst, was that franchise be granted for complete system of street railways and an electric light and power plant, which has been granted
 
 the establishment of this electric plant is now assured.
 This is but the beginning of Greater Tuscaloosa, and everybody is opti- mistic over the era upon which Tus- caloosa is just beginning.
 President Shaggs of the Gulf and Northwestern railroad is in the city consulting with MT. Woolsey Finnell concerning the vast territory of 10000 acres situated on North river in Tus- caloosa county, which MT. Skaggs holds option on, and which are considered among the most valuable coal lands in the state. MT. Skaggs is closing a number of purchases of these lands, and announces the construction of the Northwestern railroad through these lands will begin not later than April 1.
