New Style Football.

Football on horseback will be
one of the equestrian novelties
with Buffalo Bills Wild West and
Pawnee Bills Far East when
the big exhibition comes to town.
The game is played by teams of
Indians and cowboys mounted on
horseback. A monster rubber
ball, standing half as high as an
ordinary horse, is propelled from
one goal to the other by the
horses pushing or kicking it
across the arena. The contest is
always exciting and the several
riders comprising the teams take
spirited interest in securing a
victory for their respective sides.
The game is new to American
sporting catalogues, being pre-
sented now for the first time in
an exhibition.

me- THOD OF TEACHING IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS CHANGED
Work Of Instructors Confined to
Branches Instead Of Grades,
AS Formerly

This is an age of specification,
and the work at the city schools
has been rearranged so that each
teacher gives instruction in one
special subject instead of hearing
one or two grades recite their
lessons in all of the subjects in
which they receive instruction.
The new plan was inaugurated
after a consultation between
Prof. W. V. Frierson, superin-
tendent of the city schools, and
Prof. C. X. Taffe, principal OF
Franklin Academy, and they, as
well as the teachers affected, are
much pleased with the change.
The new plan is nothing more
or less than the application Of
high school methods to work II
the grammar school. 1t ha'
always been the custom fol
the teachers in the high school t,
confne their work to one specia
subject, and the same method il
now being applied in the gram
mar school. The greatest ad
vantage of the new method lie
in the fact that it enables th'
teachers to specialize in tn
branches assigned them, thu
giving them a more thorough
knowledge of these subjects AM
making instruction therein NOR
effective.

BRAzEALLE CONVICTED
OF SELLING BOOZE
SENTENCED TO COUNTY FARM
Gets Fine Of Fifty Dollars and
Ninety Days On County
Farm.--Other Cases to be
Heard This Morning

Willis Brazealle, a white man,
was tried before Mayor Donnell
and a jury yesterday morning on
the charge of illicit retailing, and
upon conviction was sentenced
to pay a fine of fifty dollars and
serve ninety days on the county
farm. Brazealle wa represented
by Mr.. w. P. Stribling, while
County Attorney ]. / Sturdivant
looked after the interests of the
State.
Brazealle, together with several
other white men and negroes,
was arrested Tuesday, the evil
dence against them having been
worked up by two detectives who
were brought here for that pur-
pose by the city authorities. The
others arrested were Charles
Hines, Joe Gillian and Hugh Wat
son, white men. and viii Ander-
son, Jim Randolph, Alexander
Mcpherson and Albert Young,
negroes.
The cases against Hugh Watson
and Albert Young will be tried
in District No. 5, where the alleged
offenses are said to have taken
place and the other cases are
scheduled to come up in the
mayors court this morning.
Little is known concerning the
two detectives who worked uL
the cases against the men who
were arrested, but they are said
to be travelling through the state
for the purpose of securing evi
dence against illicit retailers. A
recent act of the Legislature pro
vides a fund for paying parties
. who secure evidence resulting il
the conviction of blind tiger opera
tors, and it is from this fund tina
the detectives will receive com
nensation.
So far as can be learned, tht
, only liquor confiscated by the ar
resting officers was found in tn,
room occupied by Charles Hind
in the Masonic Temple. The po
lice searched Hines room, anc
found thirteen pintS of booze hid
den between the mattresses
While the authorities claim tina
the evidence against all the mel
under arrest is conclusive, som
of them protest their innosence
. and the outcome of their trials
awaited with interest.

THE ANNUAL BARBECUE OF
VETERANS OCCURS TO-DAY
Heroes Who Wore the Gray Will
Assemble at Lake Park For
Their Yearly Outing

The members of the LCwndes
County Confederate Veterans
Association will give their annual
barbecue at Lake Park today,
and the heroes who wore gray,
as well as their guests, are sure
to have a most enjoyable time.
The members of Stephen ID.
Lee Chapter, United Daughters
of the Confederacy, will attend
the barbecue as guests of honor,
it having been the custom of the
veterans to invite them to their
outings for several years past.
They will be conveyed to the
park on a special car, which will
leave the corner of Main and
Sixth streets promptly at eleven
O'Clock this morning.
The occasion will be strictly
informal in character. The pro-
gram contains only one feature,
a good dinner. but while no pro-
vision has been made for oratori-
cal effusions it is probable that
some of the veterans who are
known to be good speakers will
be called on, so a few patriotic
addresses and recitals of war re-
miniscences may be reasonably
expected.
No one deserves more of the
good things of life than the mer
who suffered the dangers anC
deprivations OF the civil war, anC
the Commercial sincerely hopes
that all who attend the barbecue
today will experience a delight
full time.

BANK CLERK STEALS A
LARGE SUM OF MONEY
PENSACOLA MYSTERY SOLVED
w. H. Bell Was The Thief Who
Stole the S55,OOO.---Con-
fessed to Lift Suspicion
From His Brother

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 24-Wil-
liam H. Bell, a 20-year-old bank
clerk, tonight confessed that he
robbed the local First National
Bank Sept. II, of a package con-
tanning $55,0O0 of the Louisville
and Nashville pay roll and substi-
tuted a bogus package in its place.
Fear that the officers would sus-
pect his brother caused Bell to
confess.
The young bank clerk had been
in the employ of the local bank
for two years. In his confession
he declared that he had planned
to secure the money a week be-
fore the pay roll was made Up.
Last Sunday he made a bogus
package, similar in shape and size
to the pay roll package of money,
filled with magazine slips.
On Tuesday afternoon, when
the Louisville and Nashville pay
roll was being fixed for. shipment
he Slipped the package containing
the $4,000 into his locker and
substituted the package of paper
in its place.
No one noticed the change, anC
the bogus package, together with
a shipment of $4,000, was taker
to the express office and receipteC
for.
Tuesday night Bell took the
package of money to his home ii
a suit case. Activities by de-
tectives and officials when the
robbery became known caused
him to return the money Satur
day.
He wrapped the package in
newspaper, and after notifying
the cashier of the First Nationa
Bank where the missing none,
would be found, he placed il Oh
the back steps of the office build
ing.
The cashier disregarded tn
anonymous telephone message
The package was found after
had been on the steps severa
hours, by the janitor.

Wednesday marked the opening
of the twenty-seventh annual ses-
sion of the Industrial Institute
and College. and the scholastic
year then inaugurated promises
to be the most prosperous in the
history of an institut' on which
has been growing steadily not
only in size but in scope and IN
fiuence ever since it was estab-
lished.
The opening was quiet and un-
austentatious, having been mark
ed by no public exercises of any
character. Experience of past
years has clearly demonstrated
the fact that nothing is accom-
plished by holding public exer-
cises at the beginning of a ses.
sion. Such exercises only con-
sumo valuable time without
bringing any good results to
either teachers or pupils, so this
year President Whitfield decided
upon an informal opening.
The students began to arrive
Monday, and during the ensuing
two days nearly every incoming
train brought its quote of win
