Atlanta has exercised its option on
Erskine Mayer, and the eX-Cracker
finger will report to the local club in
the near future. Mayer is now hurting
for the Portsmouth club in the Virginia
league, and will continue with that
team until the end of the season. when
he reports to Atlanta HI should reach
the Cracker club in time to take part in
the last week or two of games in the
calendar
Mayer has sprung to the fore during
the last season, and developed into a
grand slabman. He was easily the
foremost pitcher in the Virginia circuit
and has attracted the attention of a
bunch Of big league scouts Atlanta
has received several fattering offers for
his services from Pittsburg and other
clubs in the big show. but it is not at
all probable that they will be seriously
considered yet a while, as Mayer will
make the Atlanta club a grand finger
next year.

ABE ATTELL IS
POKER CHAMP;
WINS $4,000
By Sol Pick.

T\NEN if Abey AtteI never comes

pion of the world.
Word is Just sitting back to Atlanta
that the former featherweight star won
upward of $32, 900 in recent operations
there and that his streak of luck is
not broken yet. In fact nobody out
there thinks it ever will be broken, be-
cause Of the extreme skill that Attell
shows at all times in his card playing.
Likes to Take a Chance,
AtteH ever was riproaring young
plunger on all things that presented a
fairly even field and quick action. With
a rather short bank roll. but all of his
nerve intact, Attell began playing out
on the coast as soon as he landed there.
1t wasn't long before most of the play
ers in San Francisco began to fight shy
of him because of the phenomenal luck
that appeared to follow him on the. ia
Bile. Attell won consistently. but as his
sittings were usually of "A and 30 hours
duration Abey found little time for
training.
Hence it was that he was in mediocre
shape for the Kilbane battle and in
even worse shape for the contest that
followed soon after with Tommy Muir
ply in San Francisco But all that
time Abe was whaling away at the
poker game and before long his win
nings had reached the $4,000 mark It
was then that Abe, realizing that he
was in fair way to make himself com

Mir. Morgan's Art Collections

The bringing of J. F. Morgan's s vast collections of paintings, gems, worries and porcelains from London, Paris and other art centers of the continent to this country to be dis played for all time no doubt at the Metropolitan Art museum in New York is the chief sensation of the month. Mir. Morgan is 75 years old and he doubtless sees that he should begin to locate his great treasures, if he is to locate them at all, himself. Time is rather pressing in his case, although he is still strong and vigor- ous, and he may live score of years more. All hope he will.
 A special reason, too, exists in this case, for if MT. Morgan should die leaving, say, s5,00O,000 in art works in Great Britain, the laws of the British government would require the payment by his executors of astax or duty amounting to s750,000, and this would have to be paid even if the works of art were held by British in- stitutions for educational purposes. This duty will be avoided by shipping

THE LADY AND THE COCKTAIL

From the New York World.
 After a brief but seemingly conclusive experiment, the womens bar that had been put in by one of the leading hotels of the city has been closed. The manager says: "The ladies do not seem to care to drink anything except tea unless they are in the company of gentlemen
 Here is a social problem that needs to be worked out. woman may lead an other woman to the bar, but 1t takes a man to make her drink. Is it possible that in the mind of a woman it is not so much the cherry that makes the charm of the cocktail as the company that goes with it?
 The incident is the more interesting be- cause authorities agree that women take to cigarettes without the companionship of men Why should the law of the drink be different from that of the smoke? Is it because cocktails prompt to babbling while tobacco lures to silence and reverie, and women trust men more than they trust women?

LIeMellYn ". Johns

AS few men in Alabama were so widely known or so generally es- teemed as Col. Llewellyn W. Johns, his death comes as distinct shock to this community, with which he had been so closely and so honorably iden- tified for thirty years or more. He was a pioneer in the mining field, and added to his practical knowledge were sterling traits which enabled him to surmount many serious obstacles and achieve signal success in the work of upbuilding. In the first place, he looked always on the bright side of life. And then he was full of pluck. His was an indomitable will.
 Colonel Johns saw clearly the possi- bilities of mineral Alabama. He had vivid imagination. His vision was pro- phetic and he knew that Red Mountain contained inexhaustible wealth. And his was an optimism that found ex- pression in action as well as in elo- quent words.
 Colonel Johns loved Birmingham and no man here displayed more of civic pride than he. Large hearted and genial he was everybody's friend and his death will be- sincerely mourned throughout the length and breadth of Jefferson county. One by one the strong men who have helped largely in the making of the Birming- ham district pass over the river. They are sadly missed but their memories will long be cherished. Colonel Johns will be especially missed by his com rades of the early days and those who were the recipients of his bounty. Peace to his ashes!

Ed Howe, the great Kansas editor of 1 Atchison Globe fame, tells the following story in the February American Maga- zine:
 'So little that Is really exciting or worth while has happened1n my life that l am greatly interested in Jim and Dan Ayers, who run a restaurant in the town where I live. Something really happened to them once upon time, and when I go to their restaurant I enjoy hearing them tell about it.
 When they were boys they lived on a farm in Virginia; l have heard them say their postoffice was Sudley Springs. One Sunday morning their father started them to Sunday school, and after they had loitered along the way & mile or two Jim Ayers remarked a commotion over beyond what they called the Bid Woods.
 "'What's that?' Jim asked, stopping.
 Ut was getting late by this time, and Dan replied;
 "I don't know, but we'd better hurry up and get to Sunday school, or we'll get a whipping.
 Then they hurried on, but the com motion over beyond the Big Woods broke out again, faintly, but it was very un- usual, and Jim stopped and listened. He had never heard anything like it before, although he vas big boy 12 years old. and, after listening a while, he said:
 " I'm going over there.'
 Better not, Dan said. You know father whips hard
 But the strange commotion continued, so Jim said he was going, whipping or no whipping. Dan followed, but kept saying they would catch it when they returned home
 "They walked and walked and walked; al the time the commotion over beyond the Big Woods became more pronounced, but they couldn't tell what it was, They forded streams, and were chased by strange dogs, but kept on from 10 o'clock in the morning until o'clock in the aft ernoon. They had nothing to eat, and they didn't know that they could ever find their way back, because they were in a country strange to them. But they kept on, and a little after o'clock, as a re- ward for their perseverance, they walked into the battle of Bull Run. never be- fore heard of boys going anywhere and
 finding anything as great as they expect. ed p

Business and Politics

Financiers of experience and recog nized ability agree in saying that the financial condition of the country is exceptionally sound. But inertia in business continues and this fact is attributed to "social and political un- rest"
 Some presidential campaign years have been more exciting than others. The present year started off with lively politics, and there will be no abatement in political agitation until after the national conventions have nominated their respective tickets and aadopted their respective platforms. If both of the two great parties set themselves plainly against populistic tendencies the business atmosphere will clear and marked improvement in every line of endeavor will be in evil dence.
 
 The American people-the great mass of them-are conservative when it comes to choosing a President, and it is reasonable to say that the No vember election will be followed all most immediately by a genuine busi- ness revival. A high degree of pros perity is generally predicted, and un- less all signs faial 1913 will be a mighty boom year. It will probably be year of new high records in every direction. The railroads will be forced to get ready for the unprecedented volume of traffic that will be offered many of them have. delayed in making start at betterments that are de- manded, but unless they begin now they will be swamped when the great rush does come.
 Much new construction will be un- dertaken in the Birmingham district within the next six months, regardless of uncertainty in the political field, and before the end of the year solid prosperity will be in full swing here aboutS
