Fifteen and % years ago one of the mightiest powers in the race world now a graying and grizzled veteran, depleted of the millions he owned; is, down in Latonia, Ky, and reported to be broke. !"
 That is the story of Ed Corriganl
 The present generation of turf enthus- lasts know little of Corrigan, because he faded from prominence nearly a decade ago. But Corrigans doings in the horse world that he almost dominated 20 years ago, are still fresh in the memory of turf veterans.
 Corrigans spectacular career began along in 1898. Starting with a modest capital, he soon pyramided it into hun dreds of thousands. Then he bought a string of horses-nost of them for the proverbial Song. The ''wise folks" laughed at Corrigans purchase-at first. They classified his steeds as dogs" But some way or other those horses man. aged to win races for Corrigan with con- sequent bulky purses and betting clean ups"
 Soon Corrigan became a big factor in the race world.
 In 1902 Corrigan's fortune was esti- mated at beyond $6,0O0, ,000-a tremendous owning in that era. It seemed that everything he touched turned to gold. And then, almost overnight, fortune ceased to smile on Corrigan; the tide shfted-and Corrigan began to skid from plutocratic heights even more rapidly than he had scared.
 The beginning of Corrigan's end was in 1903. Corrigan, an influential mem- Der of the Western Jockey club, had some sort of row with his associates. In a moment of anger he withdrew from that organization and started a rival one, known familiarly as "Corrigan's Out law Club And then began fight to the finish between the Western and the Corrigan outfits.
 The battle lasted through 1903 and 1904 and it cost Corrigan sizeable part ol

PAINTER MAKES STATEMENT

MT. Painter last night sent the follow ing telegram to The Age-Herald from Washington:
 Washington, November S-Please cor rect Roberts Fridays statements regard ing republican newspapers, erroneous IS suance of commission and Underwood lack of opposition. The contrary is true Washington Star and only democratic newspapers have mentioned the case ln a month. I was commissioned after two months hard fighting and Underwood went to Secretary Baker, who told hun the military intelligence had reported me of excellent character and aolllty Underwood confessed to Secretary Bakei my character and ability. Not knowing I possessed this statement, he sent tt General Seibert, October 2:
 i've beg to confirm the oral protest we made to you against the appointment of Phil Painter to any office in the army He is absolutely unfit from every stand point. He would reflect no credit on our army and his appointment would tend te lbr1ng it into disrepute where he is known. His appointment would be per sonally offensive to us.

BURNETT HAVING
 BITTER CAMPAIGN Seventh District Fight Is Acute-Boaz Meeting Ends
 in Near Riot

An indication of the bitter campaign which is being waged in the Seventh district between Congressman John l.. Burnett and 0. D. Street has reached Birmingham in the form of sensational stories of various kinds.
 For instance, information was brought here yesterday concerning a meeting at Boaz Saturday night. It was impossible to reach Boaz over the telephone yester- day for confirmation. According to the story, Congressman Burnett was speak ing before a meeting there, when he made the assertion that his opponent, 0. D. Street, said that no one who was not a college graduate ought to be sent to Congress.
 Some one in the audience gave the lie to this more forcefully than elegantly. and the congressman came back with still more vigorous language. The men started toward each other, shedding their coats as they advanced, but friends restrained them.
 The story further relates that the man in the audience immediately went before the mayor and pleaded guilty to dis turbance of the peace and was fined 30. The congressman, it is related, was ar rested little later as he was starting to Albertville. He. too, was taken before the mayor and had a fine imposed.
 It is difficult to get the straight of stories of this kind during the heat or a political campaign, but there was ap-
 parently something out of the ordinary at Boaz Saturday night. because the story reached The Age-Herald from so many different sources. At Gadsden II was stated that all that was known about the incident there were the stories brought by people who had come in on the late train Saturday night, The Seventh district is always some what close, and Congressman Burnett mas never failed to have a fight on his hands. In the present campaign the in terest in the fight is intensified by the fact that the present congressman mas been charged with failure to give the President the war support that was e&- pected of him by the people of his home 1 district.

Maude Adams-Jefferson

"A Kiss for Cinderella" in which the popular actress, Maude Adams, is to be seen at the Jefferson Wednesday matinee and night, Is one of the most fanciful effusions that has ever eman- ated from the gifted brain of the Scotch dramatist, James Matthew Barrie.

Will You Do Your Share? While We
Do "Our Bit" You Can Be Great Help

War conditions have placed on
the newspaper added brdens that
are making it extremely hard on
the publishers. 1t is out of the
question to conduct any business
along the same lines as formerly,
and especially a newspaper,
which is called upon to give col
umn after column of space to
matters affecting the war Ad-
vertising has fallen off greatly
since the regulation of food
stuffs and fuel and a further cur
tailment of advertising receipts
is expected. Therefore it be-
comes necessary to ask the assist
ance of the public that the paper
bear not the burden alone.
The order of the fuel admins
traitor has made it necessary to
close our doors at 6 o'clock,
which precludes the possibility
of working after that hour,
therefore it will be necessary
that we print the paper so it may
be, mailed Thursday afternoon.
That this may be done we are
going to make a ruling that all
matter handed in for publication
must be in the Office by Tuesday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, with the
exception Of late news happen
ings, which is impossible to get
before that time. Those who
have articles which they wish
printed will kindly take notice.
and govern themselves accord
ingly.
Heretofore rather than disap-
point anyone we have accepted
articles at any time in the week
and held up the paper until after
supper Thursday night and in
many instances until Friday
morning. But we cannot do this
longer. Our advertisers want
the papers in the hands of the
people by Friday morning and as
they furnish a great deal of the
revenue we must also look to
their interests.
Some people may say that all
the matter we devote to the Red
Cross, Y. M. G. A., Liberty
Bonds, Smileage Books, and 9th
err activities is not extra, but they
think wrong. We must not only
handle these, but give as much
home news as ever and we do not
run anything simply to fill

column for every column we
print, so it will readily be seen
that we are really giving some
thing. Here is what we want
you to do to help US:
Have all contributed articles
in the Office by o'clock Tues
day afternoon.
Have copy for advertising in

as early in the week as possible.
We start work on the next pa
per as soon as one is mailed, so
we can use your matter any time.
Do not wait until Wednesday af-
ternoon or Thursday to get in
your matter.
Help us out as much as posi-
BILE that we may arrange our
work to the best advantage.
In the last two months some
thing like twenty papers in Kan
sas and Oklahoma have suspend
ed publication. This will give
you an idea Of how the war is af-
fecting the papers. We can not
hope to make money during these
times, and shall be satisfied if
we get thru even. You can help
to make the loss as small as pos
sible and we are going to ex-
pect your help. We are willing
to do all we can for the cause of
democracy, our columns are ever
at the service of the government
or representative Of any war ac-
tivity, but we must insist that we
be given this assistance while we
are doing it.
Remember, Mr.. Advertiser
get up that copy as early in the
week as you can. Help us that
we may be able to do more for
the common cause.
Here are only a few of the
things we are asked to boost for
which we receive no compensa-
ton:
Red Cross.
Y. M. C. A.
Food Conservation.
Fuel Conservation.
Liberty Bonds.
Thrift Stamps and Baby Bonds.
Increased Agricultural Produc-
ton. -.
Increased Live Stock and
Poultry Production.
Meatless and Wheatless Days.

County Agent Work.

Help for Clerical Departments
of U. S.
Armenian Relief.
Belgian Relief.
Soldiers Insurance.
Draft Regulations.
Registration of Aliens.
Income Tax Information.
And we might go on and name
as many more. And besides this
matter we also have to give the
happenings of the community.
Don't you think we are doing our
share? You will do yours to-
ward us, won't you?
