 SECTIONAL FIGHT
Carolina Senator Thinks the Nation Should Be Shocked at Effort of Candidate
 to Reopen Strife

Washington, August 19.-Senator Till man, in addressing the Senate today, re- ferred to the recent speech of Charles E. Hughes, in which he said that the majority of the leaders of Congress were from the south.
 Tt must have shocked and surprised you senator's" said the South Carolina senator, "to find that 51 years after Ap- pomattox that a candidate for the high office of President of these reunited States should have thought it necessary to drag forth that old blood and mud bespattered banner of sectonalism and wave it over the heads of the present generation of Americans"
 He declared that if the majority of the leaders in Congress were from the south they had attained to their present rank through long service, just as he had done.
 T did not earn the nickname of Pitch fork on account of my partisanship pas sion," continued Senator Tillman. 'It was due to the bluntness and frankness with despise hypocrisy and lying above all else and I owe this personal charac- teristic to her. If I ever did hate the northern people-and I confessed to that the last time I spoke here-that hatred and partisanship have died out of my heart and the pitchfork, if 1t was con-

case except to deceive the opposition Well, it deceived the enemy, l guess, TOT instead of filing immediate appeal bonds which could have been done ln about two hours, the attorney of the deteno- ants hurried about the state seeking ln- functions while we went merrily on our task of throwing the confiscated liquors in the sewers.
 After three days of destroying liquors the attorney of the defendants became cognizant of what he should have done in the first place when Supreme Court Jus tice Anderson in refusing to honor writ of injunction wrote that there was ample remedy for the defendants by the mere filing of approved appeal bonds.
 WANTED REAL SIGNATURES
 But again I interposed some objec- tions and stated that all bonds must be signed by the defendants, After more delay and a gallant chase to Florida and other distant points the appeal bonds were all signed and filed with the court. Then and only then did the destruction of the liquors stop"
 What about the system in Girard which permitted the open sale of liquors?' the solicitor was asked
 That was brought out in the last day of the trial of Chief of Police John Oakes, who was convicted of bribery" was the reply.
 Ut seems that soon after prohibition went into effect that the mayor and al dermen of Girard decided that they must make a little money out of the persistent blind tiger traffic that was going on This was talked about at a regular open meeting of the board of alderman, but later at an executive meeting 1t was de- cided to license the blind tiger operators S35 a month and the chief of police was instructed to go with a bunch of blank warrants and to collect the money, and if refused, to make arrests. The money thus collected was entered by the city clerk, who also was treasurer, and who is now under indictment, as John Jones, license $S5," and other fictitious names were used The rightful name of the blind tiger operator was never entered Finally tAe blind tiger operators got tired of paying $35 a month and as two of the five members of the Girard board of aldermen were blind tiger operators them selves, and are now under indictment, they made such a fuss that the license fee was reduced to $25 and Sl5 a month In fact it was at the time the state of Alabama started its sensational raids that conditions were such that the chief of police collected from the blind tiger fellows just what they cared to give him,

By RICHARD F. LUssIER

Solicitor Hugo L. Black returned from the crusades yesterday.
 The youthful and aggressive solicitor of Jefferson county appeared in the best of health after his three weeks ''vaca- tion' at Girard and Scale. and he stated that he was now in Birmingham to pre- pare for the fall term of the criminal court, which opens the first Monday of September.
 When asked about his adventures in Girard, Solicitor Black smiled broadly and said:
 "Oh, we had a great deal of fun down there. We convicted everybody that re- mained behind to stand trial, and those that we did not convict we ran away from the country. Many of the prominent cit izens of Girard are now in jail, or fugi- tives from justice or in the shadow of the bastile."
 You also destroyed some liquors down there, according to the reports"
 DESTROYED ALL THEY COULD
 'sNearly all the confscated liquor was destroyed" said MT. Black. Sheriff Lind sey had 30 men working and for three days they destroyed a large quantity of whisky and beer. It was estimated that about $5OO,OOO worth of liquor was thrown in the Chattahoochee river. In fact, so much was destroyed that 8 man from Columbus Ga, offered the sheriff $500 for the wooden crates and barrels which for merly held the liquors."
 How did you happen to manage to destroy the liquors?" was the next ques- ton.
 That's very funny thing,' smiled the solicitor, leaning back on his chair. T was called down there to prosecute the prohibition law violators at Scale. The first day I got there we tried three, and the juries gave them the limit That scared the other culprits, for the next morning we found out that the other de- fendants had decamped to healthier elimes. Well, we fooled around for day or two, and then it came to my ears that the fugitves had not filed appeal bonds on the confiscated liquors that had been ordered destroyed by the lower court.
 RIVAL ATTORNEY CARELESS
 t'It seems that the attorney of the de- fendants had slipped up. He simply had filed notice of appeal, which was sur ficient to act as a supercedeas of judg- ment until the last legislature changed the law making it mandatory to file an appeal bond. Upon this discovery made motion to destroy the liquors at once, and orated at length on the fact that tho defendants were fugtives of justice, which did not have a thing to do with the

Birmingham is virtually assured of Its second season of superlative grand opera by the Boston National Grand Opera company through the determination Sat urday of several progressive citizens, to lend the necessary cooperation to make sure of annual visits here of this distin- guished organization.
 Pierre V. R. Key, assistant to Manag- ing Director Max Rabinoff, conferred with these Birmingham citizens. It was decided to organize on a large scale the Birmingham grand opera committee, to be composed of not less than 50 and pos sibly loo representative residents of this community. This committee will then ask the cooperation of the Music Study club, the Business Mems league, the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary club, and all other organizations of the city that should be affiliated with the move ment.
 The formation of the Birmingham grand opera committee will take place
 late in September or early October, when plans are to be taken up to arrange for tho guarantee and the operas which will be given.
 It places Birmingham for the first time, In the position of being certain of having a brief season every year of the sort of grand opera to which New York and other great music centers of the world are accustomed.
 Tt is MT. Rabinoff's determination" said MT. Key last night, Ito give three performances to the Birmingham public, probably on the evenings of February B and March 1 and the afternoon of the latter date He also purposes making the presentations during the approaching season superior even to those of last year.
 First, and before all else, will stand the quality of ensemble. There will be present in every cast several illustrious singers of the star variety, yet none will be permitted to shine at the expense of any factor essential to artistic re- suits. Each one will strive, under the direction of Regisseur General Ivan Kol- chinski and Stage Director Armando F. Agnini, to interpret the hstrionic ele- ments of the characters assumed, More over, principals are to be chosen for their roles with a view to physical and dramatic, as well as vocal, ftness,~
 For Birmingham MT. RabinQff offers for the choice of the people some of the most interesting, as well as the greatest, opera writings of all time. One of.ahese. is Giordano's Andrea Chenier, Aand sy- other the always delightful rRisyoIetto.s in which there is to be introduced fU this country new and reputedly great Colo

later by the charges that faced him. In fact, we managed to get the whole gang, including the real bosses, the men who owned the property and who engineered the elections in order that friendly officials were elected. None escaped the wrath of the awakened conscience of the people of Russell county and most of the defendants that are now fugitives from justice have left the state for good and all. One wrote back: Guard me against extra dition and I'll never return to Ala bama.'
 PUT UP IN BUSINESS
 Another feature of the Girard mat ter is that some months ago man was injured and sued the city, He was allowed about $500 damage and was forced to become a blind tiger operator against his will He admitted that in court He was given liquors and told to operate for year without license and was informed that he would make more than $500 by that method.
 "Other features was the numbers of women who offered their services to Sheriff Lindsey to aid in destroying the liquors. Girard, Columbus, Ga, and Phoenix City are cotton mill towns where the workers get very low wages, and amidst such blind tiger liquors must have raised havoc and the women folk were most thankful at its de- struction. They would stand in line along the gutters and cry with joy as the bottles cracked and the red juice of ruin flowed on to the Chattahoochee."
 Well, is everything all over down there?"
 "Yes, until the defendants get back if they ever decide to get back" was the reply. You see the court has never adjourned. It has only recessed for an indefinite period and if the occa- sion demands it. we will all go back to Girard tomorrow. However, I believe that the city of Girard is fairly we'll purged and at its city election in few weeks it will retire what officials the grand jury failed to indict. That, I believe will clean the slate."
 Solicitor Black then turned to his desk and began to work planning on the September criminal docket.
