IMPORTANT FOOTBALL GAMES
 IN SOUTH NEXT SATURDAY
Auburn Meets Miss A. and M. for First Big Battle of Season in Birmingham Virginia and GeOr- gia Tie Up-Other Teams Will Have Easy Time in Scoring Victory

last fall when they were defeated by a close score, Auburn will return a victor by at least two touchdowns.
 Probably the greatest battle in the south will be the University of Georgia and the University of Virginia clash at Ath- ems. The Virginans have wonderful machine this fall and only two weeks ago defeated the powerful Yale crew. The Georgia team Is exceedingly weak as shown by the results of their battles thus far. Although Coach Cunninghs m S followers have not been defeated, the University of Chattanooga held them to a tie, which is almost as bad as defeat.
 The Virginia squad is expected to laugh ter the Georgians and by all means easily record a decisive victory.
 Other championship contenders will have an easy time in reaching another win. Alabama will roll up big score on Tulane on the college campus at Tuscaloosa without any serious trouble. Vanderbilt, Sewanee and Georgia Tech will meet weak teams and are expected to win by a landslide. Tennessee will have a hard opponent in the University of Louisville, and 1t would not be sur prise for the Kentucky boys to repeat the performance of Clemson a few weeks ago. Florida has an open date.

COACH PR|TCHARD'S
 HUSK|ES bUNGED UP
Almost Every Member of Squad Suffering From
 Some Injury

Facing an important game Saturday, with the Attalla High school, claimant for the High school championship, the Central High school eleven is in the worst condition of the year. following the game last Saturday with the Alabama Preparatory school The entire squad suffered every injury possible without breaking bones.
 The game Saturday will have a great bearing on the state High school cham plonship and should the locals be de- feated it would mean that Coach Pritch- ard and his cohorts are eliminated from a grab at the supreme honors.
 Light practice was attempted yesterday afternoon, but so few of his warriors re- ported, Coach Pritchard was not able to work any wonders with his injured ma chine. With the exception of Craig, Good all, Kelly and Jones every man bore an important mark of Saturdays conflict Probably the most seriously injured is Manager McPhail and star guard who is suffering from a badly sprained wrist which will probably keep him from the game for the next two weeks.
 The team is not dsheartened over the defeat Saturday and will go to Attalla a badly bunged-up team, but still having the pep to give any team hot battle.

Uncle Sam-Model Employer

From the Cleveland Press.
 Your Uncle Sam is teaching employers few fine tricks on that new government railroad he is building up in Alaska. William c. Edes. chief of the United States-Alaska Engineering company, is the boss of the big job.
 What do you think was one of the first things he did when he began the work this summer7 He wrote to Secretary Lane and said that one of the first build ings he wanted to put up at the new town of Anchorage (which is the con- struction camp base for the railroads) was an amusement hall.
 He said that he thought it was a bad thing for big construction camp not to have place where the men could have proper recreation, and he asked au- thority to spend $500 in equipping a hall with a photograph, a library, some pool tables and other amusements. Dr. Dow ney, Controller of the Treasury. promptly ruled that it was most proper expen- diture
 So now the men at Anchorage have n government-owned receration plant, where they can get healthy amusement free as part of their contract with Uncle Sam-model employer. The building is regular community playhouse and civic center. In addition it is used for all sorts of community purposes
 The other day wandering preacher arrived at the construction camp. When Sunday came around the government building was turned over to him, the bil- Hard tables were pushed back against the wall and the preacherehe Sunday service.

ANNISTON
Farmers Vote Against Dipping Vats
 Traffic Ordinance Poorly Enforced


 Anniston, October 1S.-(Special.) )
 From indications shortly after the clos ing of the polls in Calhoun county to- day the proposition to build dipping vate and force the farmers in the coun- ty to dip their cattle at certain times in order to eradicate the tick has been defeated.
 Quite a heavy vote was cast in the | rural districts and light one in this city and to the light vote in Anniston Is attributed the defeat of the propo- sition. The rural districts went heavily against the building of the vats. Numer-
 ous stories had been circulated among the farmers to the effect that the dip ping of cattle, instead of eradicating the tick, killed the animals and most of the farmers were against the propo- sition because of this feature. Many of the largest and most progressive cattle raisers in the county worked hard to have the farmers vote for the building of the vats and at the last minute Vice President Herran of the Calhoun Coun-
 ty Live Stock association issued a state ment in which he urged every farmer to vote for the measure
 In this city, where there were votes cast, 1t was for the building of the vats, but there were so few votes cast here that they did but little good. Some of the election managers failed to show up In some of the wards and the polls were not opened.
 Word has been received here by Sher- if Borders from the authorities at St Louis, asking if Will Alexander, a ne- gro is wanted here for the murder of two members of Miller family, which io h ha in or 1908. Inquiry has brought out the fact that a man and woman by the name of Miller were found dead at their home in West Anniston about 20 years ago and the mystery was never cleared up. Sheriff Borders, however, will hard ly send for the negro held in St. Louis as he can find no witnesses in the case
 A. H. Shepperd. clerk of the city court today announced himself as a candi- date for the office of clerk of the cir cult court. This make two men in this race. Lamar Jeffers, former city coun- cilman, having announced himself for the office of circuit clerk last Satur- day.
 Quite lot of protest has been aroused over the alleged lack of the
 traffic law enforcement by the police department traffic ordinance was passed by the city council several weeks ago, the chief provision of which were that owners of automobiles and other vehicles should not drive past a street car which was taking on or discharging passengers and that drivers of vehicles should not turn from the north to the south or the south to the north on Mo- ble street until the corners are reached. The last specification, according to many people, is being continually violated | and many accidents have been narrowly
 averted while the pocile stand idly by and do nothing to enforce the law.

Gold in a Spanish GalIeon rom the Kansas Citv Star

Y rom the Kansas City Star.
 Rockport Tex.-Perhaps the wreck of Spanish treasure ship that is said to contain more than s1.OOO.oOo of gold has been found. According to the story told here by two Portuguese sailors who made voyage along the gulf coast south and west of here in fishing boat a few days ago, the recent tropical storm and high tide swept the sand from an ancient wreck that had lain buried for an untold period Of time upon the coast of Padre Island, a few miles below where Corpus Christi pass separated Padre and Mustang islands. The two sailors made only a nasty examination or the wreck but they saw enough to tell them that the vessel belonged to a type of seagoing craft that existed two or three centuries ago.
 One of the most interesting traditions of Texas and Mexico treats of the de- struction by terrific hurricane of a fleet or spanish treasure vessels off this coas In lo63 The ships were carrying loads of gold from Mexico to Spain when they were struck by the storm and swept upon the sand of Padre Island. Many attempts have been made to locate the sunken yes. sels. December Is, 1914, A. H. Meuly. a resident of Corpus Christi, found what he believed was one of the lost ships. but before he could extract it's cargo of gold the treacherous waves of the gulf had opliterated the spot. Meuly says he knows there is more than s10OO,0OO in gold in the bottom of the old ship.
