The reduced car fare between Ensley Pratt City and Birmingham went into ef- feet yesterday persuant to contract heretofore executed between the city and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Pow CT company. The first fare was collected shortly after midnight Sunday. The many employees of the Tennessee company who reside in Birmingham were able to ride from Birmingham to their work yes- terday for the same fare that prevails over all the other lines of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 The reduction of car fare between the western part of the city and Birmingham has been under consideration for many years The old city council was unable to shake off the 10 cent charge, as was the present city commission when the matter was first preached. However, the commissioners have now secured reduc- tion by granting the Birmingham Rail way, Light and Power company long term contract for street lighting.
 That contract has been referred to the voters by means of the referendum, and time, it is claimed.
 The other change yesterday in street car circles was the transfers. They are given on all lines. but passenger must now designate which route is to be taken,

 The "standpatters,' earnestly in favor of the nomination of President Taft, only smiled They cannot see wherein T. Roosevelt has chance to accom- plish what General Grant failed to do. They simply state that the nomination of Taft is certainty.

 In the eleventh after fighting in the center of the ring Rivers rushed and threw Conly's head back with a terrific right to the jaw. Rivers kept after him and landed left and rights to body and face until Conly fell limp over the ropes, head downward, and suffered his first knockout Rivers is now in line for d match with the winner of the Attell- Kit bane fight at Vernon, February 6.

Los Angeles. January 1.-Joe Rivers of Los Angeles knocked out Frankie Conly of Kenosna, Wis, today in the eleventh round of their scheduled 2o-round fight at Vernon.
 At no time did Conly have chance to win and only once in the first round when he put stiff one to Rivers jaw did he land blow that seriously interfered with Rivers.
 It was one of the stiffest fights ever fought in the Vernon ring. Rivers fought well around Conly. His favorite cornbnn- tion was a left jab and a vicious right to Conly's face.

 PROSPEROUS YEAR

Anniston. January -(Special)-With record breaking bank clearings, postoffce receipts, and general business; with the organization of a new bank with double its former capital stock, with but one small mercantile failure in the city dur ing the year, 1911 was one of the best periods of prosperity in the history of Anniston, according to a statement given out Monday by President E. l..

 The democrats feel that Roosevelt is as certain of defeat, however, as Is Taft, as there is no doubt strong sentiment in America against the crea- ton of monarchy.
