Politics

President Jacksons declaration still stands.
Those of Mr.. Jefferson still stand. The Con-
stitution remains unaltered.
Who it is that has changed? It is Mr..
Bryan. In his platform of 1912, there is not
word against the issuance of notes by the
National banks.
During the Convention speech which won
Mr.. Bryan the nomination in 1896, occurs this
passage:
"They say that we are opposing National
bank currency, 1t is true. If you will read
what Thomas Benton said you will find that
he said that, in searching history, he could
find but one parallel to Andrew jackson
that was Cicero, who destroyed the con
spiracy of Cataline and saved Rome.
Benton said that Cicero only did for Rome

Some Very Peculiar Aspects of the Fielder Charges

FOR twenty years, Thomas Bosh Fielder
has been doing the dirty work of the
corporations in the Georgia legislature, as
lobbyist
! 1t was the duty of T. Bosh Fielder to kill
off legislation unfayorable to railroads and
other aggregations of capital.
: 1t was the duty of T. Bosh to procure as
much legislation as possible for the down
trodden and much enduring corporations.
Z. Bosh was so conspicuously engaged in
this noble work that he was denounced from
the pulpit, was denounced in the Legislature,
and was the occupant of much space In the
newspapers.
It is most edifying circumstance that
such a man should serenely bob up, before
the public contemplation, as the champion Of
Civic Righteousness.
/ don't know when my sense of the ridicu-
Aous has been so deliciously awakened as it
was by the spectacle of T. Bosh Fielder rush
ing to Augusta, Georgia, to do valorous duty
in behalf of Public Virtue. Excuse me
while giggle)
Although thrice armed, in that his cause
was just, T. Bosh employed an amazing array
of lawyers.
Strangely enough, his own firm did not
appear, save by "Alfred-D avy," of which

The Atlanta lawyer who buttressed T.
Bosh on this momentous occasion, was Bur-
ION Smith. All the real lawyers of the Gate
City were given the granite go-by.

1t came out at the hearing that Folders

the frauds which dispensary officials and 9TH

t. Bosh went across the Savannah to work
up these cases.
After he had been on the trail some length
of time, one of the leading alleged crooks
received letter signed 1T B., in which the
offer was made that he, ct. B." would orga-

more ravenously than the old bungling gang

Montgomery, November n.-tSpecial.)-
Prospects for baseball in Montgomery
next season have been dispelled by a
statement of Richard Tillis, owner of the
Montgomery franchise in the Southern
league. Mr. Tillis has made the positive
statement that the Montgomery fran
chise is on The market, maintaining that
ne has received very few offers of aid
from citizens here, and that he is de-
termined not to continue to lose money
on the baseball club.
According to Mr.. Tillis baseball in Mont
gomery has been a losing proposition,
and he declares that he is unwilling to
bear the burden any longer. Some
months ago when Mr.. Tillis attitude be-
came known, there was an effort made
by certain fans of the city to secure
subscriptions from the business men of

Enormous Crowd Expected.

Authorities in charge of making prepa-
rations for the Alabama-Sewanee football
contest, which will be played in BirUng-
nam next Saturday, are making the most
elaborate and minute arrangements for
the staging of the. battle. Expecting one
of the most enormous crowds that ever
witnessed football game in Birming-
ham, the committees of the two colleges
who have charge of these preparations
are sparing no pains TO arrange every
detail of the game so that it can be con-
Quoted in just the same manner as are
the big gridiron battles of the eastern
colleges.
To Clear Side Lines
Arrangements have been made to bar
all spectators from the side lines during
the contests. In all, only twelve side
line passes will be issued. Six of these
will go to the three papers of Birming-
ham, but even the reporters will be fur
nished with a press box just in front of
the grand stand, so their presence upon
the field will not interfere with the view
of the spectators. Two benches on either
side of the press box will be arranged
for the convenience of the substitutes
of the two elevens, and the only person
ages allowed upon the side lines will be
the managers and graduate managers of
the opposing teams. This arrangement
will do away with the confusion result
ing from the crowding of enthusiasts upon
the field during the play and interfering

bleachers.
Will Change Gridiron
The position of the gridiron at Rick
wood Field where the game will be played
will be changed so as to throw it exactly
in front of the grand stand and bleach
ers. This, on account. of the angular
shape OF the stands, will enforce the NOV
ing of the gridiron further from the spec
tators. but this defect will be amply
overbalanced by the fact that the entire
length of the field will lie just in front
of the seats for the spectators.
