HEADLIGHT LAW VOID

The electric headlight law passed by the legislature in 1915 which requires all railroads in the state to equip their en- zines with headlights of at least 15O0 candle power was declared invalid by the supreme court and court of appeals Tues day afternoon and from that moment ceased to be operative in Alabama The supreme court advised the court of ap- peals that the law was not good and the court of appeals announced the decision.
 In another case from Jefferson country the court of appeals held that a person cannot appeal a case from a municipal court without giving bond for costs which will be incurred in the higher court. Love- lace Wade sought to appeal case and refused to give bond. The JeffeEson cir cult court took the side with him and granted writ of mandamus requiring the city clerk, w. c. Puryear and city recorder, J. T. Lowry, to certify the case for appeal without requiring bond. The court of appeals reversed this decision.

 British Headquarters in France, May 2S.-(Via Londcn.) 1.-The old adage of Al work and no play has it's application in war as well as in peace. The baseball season on the western front is in full swing. Under the very shadow of vimy Ridge great game was played yesterday afternoon before an all-khaki audience on bit of the battlefield on which the shellholes had been filled in, and rough grardstand erected for the officers and other spectators, including General Horne, commanding the First British army, who has become an enthusiastic fan.
 The game was between teams repre- senting two Canadian brigades. AS a matter of fact, all the teams in what may be called the World-War league, are now composed of representatives of the numerous Canadian bodies and all the players are anxiously awaiting the arr rival of the American forces to arrange for an inter-ieague series.
 The Second Canadian brigade beat the Third by the score of z to l. The Second brigade had a great left-handed pitcher whose delivery the Third brigade batters could not solve at all. The Third brigade team also had a good boxman who for merly played with Ottawa, in the Can adian league, The catcher was unable to hold his delivery well, and this fault accounted for many of the runs scored by the winning side
 VERY FEW ERRORS
 The game was remarkably free from errors, considering the battlefield dia- mond. All the equipment had been brought from America, including the base bags.
 AS a side show, 1t was possible from the grandstand to see an occasional Ger man shell dripping half a mile or so away. Airplanes were humming over- head, but assuming them to be friendly, no one looked their way, except when a flyball happened to be hit.
 There was typical roofing by the Can adians, and Americans among the khaki clad spectators, and much wagering on the game. One subaltern bet enough, he said, to pay his expenses on three weeks leave in Paris, but he chose the wrong side and his leave was indefinitely postponed.
 The games are played twice a week in tkis strangest of all baseball league.

ORIGIN Of FaneuiI Hall.

The first Faneuil hall in Boston was
completed and presented to the town
175 years ago, Sept. 10, TAP. The
building was the gift OF Peter F'aneuii
a merchant, and was a modest struc-
ture, designed to serve as public
market house. This hall was burned in
1861 and was rebuilt in 1853. For a
time 1t was useu py the E...s. - =
theater. 1t was meeting place for
Bostonians during the disputes with
England which led to the revolution
airy war. and TO this fact the hall owes
it's fame as "the Cradle of American
Liberty" In 1905 the building was en-
larged to it's present dimensions, with
a market in the lower part and pub
lie hall on the second floor. The lat

Chicago, Oct. 1.-Corn-Frost ex-
tended over eastern Iowa and a good
part Of Illinois, but its effect on the
market seems already to have been
discounted. Reports from the most
responsible sources would indicate that
the 1917 corn crop will exceed. in
bushels, any previous record. In point
Of quality it may be slightly under that
Of 1914 and 1916. The market was
more Influenced by the conditions sur
rounding the crop outlook than by the
efforts on the part of a small coterie
to advance prices on frost damage. The
most effective bull influence Of the day
was the circulation Of a petition among
cash grain receivers, asking the di-
rectors OF the board to remove the
maximum price on futures.
Oats-Although there was consider
able liquidation in oats early and a
good deal of short selling by local In
terests, the market held relatively
steady. Accommodations are slowly TAX
ing place: receipts are not sufficiently
heavy to seriously affect prices. Coun-
try points are showing disposition
to sell both corn and oats a little mo- e
freely. ~

Chicago Oct. 1.-Frosts IN parts Of
Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Indiana
brought about higher prices today in
the corn market. Wide difference be-
tween the value OF 1--we stock and Of
corn tended also to strengthen corn.
On the other hand doubt as to whether
any severe damage had been done by
frost acted as a check on buying.
Opening quotations, which ranged from
u and 4 to Is cents up, at 1.19 to
1.19ss for December and 1.161s to 1.16A
for May, were followed by moderate
reaction.
Official announcement that no I'M
usually cold weather was in prospect
for the corn belt and that no killing
frost had been reported led afterward
to declines. Indications were that
crop injury. If any, would be to quality
rather than to quantity. The market
closed unsettled. II cent off to a Shade

Oats took the same path as corn.
