BIG CROWD IN
SPITE Of WEATHER
FOLKS HERE FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE COUNTY FOR ALL
PURPOSES.

Weather makes very little, if any
Inference with first Monday crowd
in Columbia. The folks will come to
the capital of the Dimple no matter
what the condition of the tempera-
ture may be or how damp the at
mosphere. While the rain unques-
tionably cut into the crowd today
there are still lots and lots of folks,
coming from all sections of the coun-
ty and there are some fine top mules
here. However, the mules did not
come in any great numbers and 1t is
pretty evident that the people are not
yet convinced that the market has
wholly recovered from the loss of
prestige occasioned by the war in Eu.
rope. Many farmers believe that the
rising price Of cotton will make mules
still better by the first of the year.
For that reason they are inclined to
hold them.
In spite of the weather a good many
mules were sold, the buyers and SELL
ers standing in the downpour while
they traded. Prices showed an i'm.
provement over recent months.

SEPTEMBER MORN

BIG MUSICAL SHOW RECEIVES
THE APPROVAL OF THE
AUDIENCE.
Tuscaloosa NeWs.)

With eyes that rivaled the orbits
of Cleopatra, Joe Taylor as "Argen-
tina, the Worlds Greatest Tango
Dancer" and star of the musical pro-
duction, September Morn last night
captivated the members of the fair
sized audience gathered at the audito-
rum to witness the first performance
of the offering that set all Chicago
whistling.
September Morn" is a riot of col
or, song and comedy The cast of
% is one of the best balanced that has
ever appeared in this city. The cos
tunes are new ard of a style that
set the female members of the audi
ence to taking notes.
Those who attended the perform
ance of September Morn last night
with the hope of being shocked, were
in a measure disappointed. There is
nothing absolutely naughty about
September Morn" but plenty of spice
and ginger to keep you wondering
what is going to happen next, The
chorus appeared in several numbers
wearing costumes that would have
perhaps seemed bit daring in some
localities, but there was no complaint
from last nights audience, who re-
peatedly demanded more.

BASKETBALL

Johns and the Charles insist on play ing two. The bylaws call for two games a week and the Charles and Johns threaten to play independent ball if they are not lived up to.
 After the number of games have been decided upon the next important move will be the changing of the halls. Games will hereafter be play ed in St. Charles hall on Fridays in stead of Mondays, Games will be played Mondays instead of Fridays in St Johns hall The first game will be started promptly at 8:30 and the second one will conclude no later than 1o:3O.
 Another important occurrence at the meeting will be when. the manager of the Hearts is reminded of the by law regarding regulation uniforms. The Charles, Mary's, and the Johns s have different co1ored uniforms from each other. The St. Iary's have blue jerseys, St. Charles, green, and St. Johns, red. The Hearts are compel1- ed under the bylaws to wear white jerseys. One player lives up to the rule and that is all. Players on the opposing teams are often confused when playing against the Hearts.
 It is understood that a resolution will be presented this evening which will amend this bylaw, by imposing a fine on the manager of the dilatory team. The league has been going al- most seven weeks and no team as yet has a regulation uniform? I say the manager should be called upon the carpet or his team be made to forfeit all future games.
