he was in great pain he surprised those
who knew his condition. His good
while he did not come up to former
records he won the time prize by nearly
four minutes over his closest competi-
tor.
The roads were hard and free from
dust, but an occasional mudhole caused
the riders some annoyance but all
things considered the twenty-three mile
course was in much better than aver
age condition.
The crowd in attendance was not
nearly SO large as in some previous
years, doubtless due to the lack of
publicity this year.
The entertainment in the afternoon
consisted of the ball game between
Glenwood and Cameo and the First
Aid exhibition by the South Canon
team. This exhibition was by far the
best ever seen in this section and was
matter of great pride to DR.. Crook
who had much to do in starting the
boys ON their work and has been help
full in training them.
The Canon team consists of Captain
Assig, John 6ircell, Don Lewis, Nick
Wasso and W. B. Bradford, and the
patient with whom they demonstrated
their skill was Raymond Ragsdale. The
boys were very precise in their move
nents, showing excellent training. They

DOWNFALL OF CLERK BILL
By CHARLES H. MANDY

Poor old Clerk Bill After walking for many years along the straight and narrow path he has at last fallen by the wayside. It is always sad to re- late any mans downfall but especial ly sad it is when it concerns a per- sonal friend, one you had looked up to as the enb bodiment of perfection. But as some wise guy has said "the greater the man the greater the fall" Again we repeat, poor old Clerk Bill.
 A word of explanation. For some years past W. c. Cunningham has been clerk of the police court of the city and his friends insist he is the best clerk the city ever had. reporter friend of his referred to him on one occasion as Clerk Bill" and the fa- miliar appellation has stuck to him ever since
 Among the many things Bill brides himself on is his strict attention to business. He is always on his job: that Is, he was until yesterday when at one fell swoop he lost his rep" There are extenuating circumstances, however, and if any blame be attached for Bills absence yesterday it lies at the door of Judge Alvin M. Douglas, that scion of the "Hie' land" chieftain that for the past IS months has presided with distinction over the police court.
 On Monday night Judge Douglas, who retires on the 31st, gave Q dinner party at the Newspaper club complimentary to the court officials and few per sonal friends Needless to say Clerk Bill was among the guests; in fact. he had the seat of honor at the right of the judge, who presided. The table was laid as the guests sat down and by the side of each platter was a slen. der gstemmed glass filled with a rich colored liquid. As Bill sat down he eyed the glass and. its contents sus- Npiciously but knowing well the views of Judge Douglas on the question of liquor he did not hesitate to raise the glass to his lips when in response to toast to the host.
 As he slipped the nectar a satisfied smile diffused his classic and benev- olent countenance. Again he slipped the fluid and a geniality came over him that made him the life of the party. He made a speech fairly sparkling with eloquence as he extolled the vir- tues of the judge about to retire and of his successor
 But To and behold On yesterday morning he failed to show up at his a accustomed place. It was whispered around that Bill was in bad shape. That something was wrong in the court room was apparent. for Judge Douglas looked anxious. Officer Todd looked mournful, while Officer Simmons was on the verge of tears.
 Poor old Bill" he said tearfully. "I hope he gets over it."

SCOTT TO INVESTIGATE NEW ORLEANS STRIKE

New Orleans. December 29.-M G. Scott president of the International Typographical union, arrived here to- night from Indianapolis to investigate the. lock -out declared against the local Typographical union Sunday night last. by the Times-P -Picayune. the Daily States and the Item. It is understood the publishers will hold no formal con ferences with MT. Scott but that an in- formal discussion of the difficulties existing between the publishers. and the union is not at all unlikely.
 Alleged refusal by the Typographical union to accept certain conditions which the publishers proposed to impose in the operation of their composing rooms is said to have been the cause of the lock out The publishers Sunday wight announced their composing rooms here- after would be operated on nonunion basis.
 The newspapers still are issuing reg llar editions but in a somewhat ab- breviated form, those members of the several editorial staffs familiar with the work operating the composing rooms with the aid of such nonunion printers as have been employed. Although no disorder has been in evil 0ence and none Is anticipated ns a precautionary measure police and de- tectives still are posted both in and outside of the buildings occupied by the three publications.

 THE INAUGURATION TO BE BRILLIANT
General Scully Says Indications Are That Attendance Will Break
 All Records

The inauguration of Charles Hen derson as governor of Alabama will in the opinion of Gen. Joseph B. Scul- ly, to be field marshal of the inaugural parade. be more brilliant exent than any other inauguration in the re- cent history of Alabama
 Tt has been arranged said Gen eral Scully, that cheap railroad fare will be furnished the people from ev- cry section of the state. Military com panies have been granted a very cheap rate and 1t has also been arranged that citizens generally who travel in as large party as 25 can obtain the same rate that is offered the military com panies
 "As a result there will be a large attendance, perhaps the largest in re- cent years. There seems to be a gen. eral desire throughout Alabama to re- Joice in that the indications are that MT. Henderson will be able to carry out his programme which augurs for a period of peace plenty and prosperity throughout Alabama
 General Scully will return to Mont gomery this afternoon.

London, December 3O.-Q 30 a. m.)-The morning newspapers comment at length on the American governments note to Great Britain concerning treatment ac- corded American commerce by the Brit ish fleet and agree that the American pro- test should be met by the British govern ment in the spirit of friendly good will shown by the note. Generally, however, the newspapers are inclined to await the actual text of the note before indulgng in detailed criticism
 In the meantime they point out how, inevitably, serious difficulties arise when eyer questions of neutrality are involved. Moreover, they dispute the theory that Great Britain alone Is responsible for the discoation of the worlds trade, guing that, even had she remained neu- tral, the fact that number of other na- tions were involved must have had a det- rimental effect on the worlds commerce. In any case, they say, Great Britain was not responsible for the war. The Times says.
 ''rhe note is dated December 24, and, although the idea may seem fanciful, we cannot help ina gining that 1t was by no accident that the eve of the great fes- tival of peace and good will was chosen for the dispatch of this friendly commun- cation from one of the great branches of the English speaking communities to the other.
 "If anything In the telegraphic sum mary of the note as received here should seem peremptory is entirely due to the chs appearance is entirely due to the necessities of compression and will van ssh when the text of the document is before We fully realize the incon- venience and the loss the conduct of the war must occasion to America and other neutrals. We also are confident that when the note is published we shall fino that President Wilson and his col leagues are not insensible to the impe- rious requirements of our military sit uation.
 We do not suppose this is a dispute of our right beligerents to practice such interference with comnierce be- tween neutrals as Is manifestly necessary for the protection of our national safe- ty. What they do question, as we gather it. is whether the action of our ships does not in some cases exceed that manifest necessity"

PROHIBITION WING
 MEETS HERE TODAY
Members of Legislature to Confer About Programme
 for Action Next Month

The prohibition members of the lower house of the general assembly of Ala bama. will convene in Birmingham to- day. The advance guard reached the city last night, among the number be- ing Henry A Merritt of Tuskeegee, who, until recently, was candidate for speaker of the house. A. >H. Carmichael of Tuscumbia will reach Birmingham early this morning.
 The meeting in Birmingh ham today will be attended chiefly by the prohibition members who live in north Alabama. To- morrow in Montgomery, the prohibition mepbers who live in the southern half of the state are expected to attend a meeting. At the two conferences, the subject of prohibition will be discussed It is claimed that as a result of the two meetings. a majority of the members of the lower house win have pledged them selves to stand firm in a determina- tion to repeal during the first few days of the legislatures life, the Parks and Smith local option bill. as a result of which the Carmichael and Fuller pro- hibition measures will be restored into being ipso facto
 Mir Merritt declared last night that the prohibition element of the legislature, while being determined to carry out it's programme, had no intention of deport- ing itself in such manner that business Of the state will be seriously distressed.
 Tt is altogether probable. said MT Merritt, that the prohibitonists will get behind Mir. Henderson, the incoming gov ernor, and put through the remedial leg iSlation for which he stands We know that much is to be done regarding fi- nances which subject includes the one very momentous problem which we will face. taxation"
