Practically every race and nation under the sun has national game or pastime. Just as strongly as baseball is entrenehe6 games and sports are as devotedly fol- lowed by the other nations Of the earth. Sometimes more than one game or one sport congresses the attention of the peo- pie of a nation. but more often they are bugs on one particular game.
 Several years ago one of the popular songs was Every Nation Has a Flag But the Coon" While this is true in re- gards to flags. yet the negroes have a game that is particularly and peculiarly their own. namely, that of craps A pair of dice and 15 or 20 cents is sui ficent to start a game and to attract the attention of a score of negroes. and it is stated that many negro has been or, but who risked imprisonment in the absorbing fascination of the game.
 On yesterday two negroes were ar raigned before Judge Perry Turner of the police court on charge of fighting. The evidence developed that the 'casus belli was crap game and also that the Ford automobile was in a measure responsible for the scrap. The aptitude of the av- craze negro to coin phrases on current events is proverbal. For the past few months the Ford automobile has been made the butt of numerous jokes. alleged

 At the trial yesterday it developed one of the negroes was suspicious of the other and suspected him of holding the dice while making his throw. In an swer to a question from Judge Turner. he said:
 Hits dis a way, jedge, dat nigger is CT slick duck and ah 'spected him rum de fust. So when he rolls de bones wid- out shakin' em up ah grab em. an'--'' de ivory?" interrupted the other negro
 What did ah tole yo? An tole yo' toe Ford dem dice"
 Didn't ah tell yo' dat ah knowed nuth- in bout Fording no dice
 "Yo' thought ha' done but bein' as yo' is CT chiffonier on one of dem Fords eva fs yo' ough to know
 What do you mean by telling Bill to Ford the dice?" inquired Judge Turner, 'and what effect does it have?"
 Hits like dis, jedge. when yo' tells CT nigger toe Ford de dice, hit means to shake. roll and rattle"
 q get you, Joe; shake roll and rattle arc certainly expressive in regard to throw ing the dice. but except in legal docu- ments and legal phraseology, conundrums that mystify and confuse are inadmlssi- ble You should have been more explicit in your instructions to Bill. But you ars both guilty on your own evidence of hay ing an affray, so you are fined s5 each Next case"

RATES ON
 IRON PIPE TO WEST
Rate Is Reduced to Eleven Dollars Per Ton-England Announces
 Change

reduction of s2 per ton on cast iron pipe and fittings from southern foundries to the Pacific coast was announced yes terday by Norton England. commercial agent for the Missouri Pacific, Iron Noun tain, Denver and Rio Grande and Western Pacific railways. The rate at this time Is $3 per ton and the rate is reduced to Sl1 per ton from the local points.
 This announcement from Mir. England will be received with interest locally where the iron pipe industry Is growing so rapidly and where local concerns are anxious to improve relations in the Mest- ern section. The reduction will be an additional incentive to iron pipe makers of this section to work diligently for busi- ness in the western sections.
 Birmingham has shared very well with the west on iron pipe business and at this time pipe made in Birmingham Is fin the streets of San Francisco. With the additional advantage offered by this rate reduction 1t may be confidently expected that some very interesting results will oe achieved.

 The local board putting on the chautau- qua has made extensive arrangements in securing the chautauqua this season be- cause of the fact that this seasons pro- gramme far excells that of any previous.
 Music, recreation and educational feat ures are of the highest class, including many noted artists.

 Mir. Amsbarv. who will be the morn ing hour lecturer the entire season. will make an introductory talk.
 Long Lctures Tonight Sylvester A. Long in his lecture at the evening hour on the opening day will treat in a popular yet vital way of tho foundation of community building MT.
 
 one especially noted being: No people can ever build community worth while unles they have first caught in their | civic consciousness the picture of a more ideal community or city than anything they have ever seen. Both the practical and ideal are essential"
 A very attractive musical programme will proceed the talk on Hungry People, by Mir Long.
 Harry r. Harrison. general manager of the entire chautauaua system, arrived last night J. r. Young. treasurer; l.. l.. Baker. office auditor; H. F. Ray, Sylves- ter A. Long. Wallace Bruce Amsbary and Don A. Thomas are all at the Motion and Tutwiler.

 We would call your special attention l to the Redpath chautauqua which Is to open at East park the coming Thursday. May 20, adjoining the high school. For the past two years Birmingham has enjoyed this institution and It is no longer an experiment. As a means of high-cass entertainment and inspiration to higher things 1t has no equal, and the cost Is SD small that it does not tax even tie poorest
 "The programme this year is better than ever before. Such attractions as "The Servant in the House. and Alice Neilsen have never appeared on any chau- tauaua circuit. Altogether 1t is worthy of Birmingham's support. Will you not help make it a success by buying season tick cts for yourself and family and boosting | in any way you can? Cordially yours CRAWFORD JOHNSON. President
