THE HuppLEsToN CASE
Gadsden Journal.

From the GadSden journal.
 Many citizens of Alabama and many members of the Alabama press were surprised when the verdict was an- nounced in the case of Congressman n George Huddleston against The Bir- mingham Age Herald in the circuit court at Oneonta Saturday.
 During a congressional campaign, The Age- Herald printed number of cartoons against MT Huddleston. As result, he brought suit for libel for s10o 900 for each cartoon. There were about 13 in all, but four of them were not pressed, so the aggregate amount asked was s9oo,o0o The jury awarded verdict of $50, ,000
 If this decision stands it will have a widespread effect upon the press of Alabama It will mean that the press will be muzzled. to an extent, in it's criticism of the official acts of public officials and of candidates for public office.
 As matter of fact. The Age Herald cartoons did far less to reduce MT. Huddlestons vote than did a telegram sent to Birmingham by President Will son, in which an attack was made upon the Birmingham mans war record But no action was brought against the President.
 It will be a sorry day for Ala abama if her newspapers are not permitted to criticize lhe official acts of those in public life.

Are Wilson and House
 No Longer Friendly?

THE reported arrangement be-
 tween President Wilson and Colonel House is based more or less on "certain deductions" It is pointed out by newspaper men and other close observers that the cordial relations that bound Mr Wilson to the colonel through seven years of sunshine and storm, with the heavy pedal predomi. hating. apparently no longer exist It is rumored that there is a rift in the lute, that the President and the colonel have drifted so far apart that instead of collaborating as hereto fore in keeping the ship of state off the rocks, they don't even communi- cate any more and take merely a casual interest in the state of each others health.
 But it is all speculation, and may be idle speculation, The close inti- macy between MT Wilson and Colonel House has baffled curiosity. There must have been many times when in- quisitive pefsons with an incurable penchant for prying into the affairs
 
 of other people were made quite mis- erable by it. Neither the President nor the uncommunicative Colonel House offered to enlighten them. In fact, it has not even been shown that there is any similarity of tastes be- tween the quiet, unassuming business man of Texas and MT. Wilson, esteemed very colossus among the erudite.
 Of one thing we may be reason ably sure. if there is an estrange- ment, involving two such interesting personalities, no explanation will be forthcoming and the gossips will en- counter another mystery in the career of the most mysterious man, in many respects, who has ever figured in American history.

 N THREE-LINE cable reports that LN\ that Sir Ernest Rutherford, di- = = rector Of the laboratory at the University of Manchester, has solved the problem of the transmutability of matter. Instantly the mind harks back to ''the philosophers stone,' the elixir of life' and all the weird lore of the ancient alchemists whose dream was the transmutation of the baser metals into silver and gold, and the first impulse is to smile al this revival of the Middle Ages in the twentieth century.
 Not so fast Scientists of the stand
 ing of Sir Ernest Rutherford holding the post he does and recognized as an expert on radia activity are not to be bracketed with Faust and Cagliostro. Just as modern chemistry is traced back to the Babylonic and Egyptian alchemists from whom the Greeks and Arabs derived the beginnings of the science, all sharing a common faith in the transmutability of matter, so of recent years, science having purged chemistry of the magic and -incanta- tions of the Dark Ages, has returned

SOUTHERN NEGROES POLITE

 poiiteness of the negroes. The northern and western negroes are not we1l-behaved.

 Along the road in Missouri we encouh- tered a negro stuck in the mud, and he out joy riding, in his employers car, as he had a negro woman with him. We said we were in great hurry to catch a train in the next town, and went on. Unless that negro was able to get on without assistance, he is there yet, for it iss certain no white man would help him. In the south, the first white man to appear would have helped the negro out

The night was in Macon Ga, negro man was lynched for attacking woman. I formed the opinion, from reading the papers, that the victim was innocent. But he was not a good negro known around the town; he was tramp, and the mob found him hiding in a box car I do not believe good negroes are both cred in the south; believe they are treated better there by the whites than in the north or west
 And the southern negroes are more prosperous than the blacks of the north and west. One Sunday, in Georgia, We

 He asked his friends what it was. bn, none of them Would tell him. Finally being determined to find out, he grabbed a newsboy who was whistling it.
 What is that tuner he demanded roughly. The boy struggled, but wou;c not answer. Finaly he broke loose and from a safe distance. yelled back, ..Get yer air cut
 And it was not until some time after ward that Paderewski discovered that the taunt was the name of the song, and not personal remark. as he had al first supposed.

INVENTOR OF THE CURVED BA1

INVENTOR OF THE CURVED BALL
 From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Baseball lovers must have read with
 much interest the news in Sundays Ad- vertiser of the death of Joseph McElroy
 Mann, the accredited inventor of the cur
 we'd ball. MT. Mann died in Bloomfield
 N. J., at the age of 6S.
 The curved ball has been boon to
 pitchers and added charm to the game. It developed skilled batsmen as the straight
 ball could never have done. It resulted in
 reduction of the number of hits and
 runs to the game, and in the number of pitched balls. The old fashioned straight ball pitcher had to rely entirely upon his speed to bewilder the batter The curved-ball pitcher is more resourcefuL 1 If he has both speed and control, es- pecialiy control, as all of the successful pitchers have, he is difficult to hit eff fectively-yet every great pitcher of to- day meets his match in some batter of corresponding greatness.
 We do not profess to know what the first curved ball was like Quite probably MT. Manns first discovery amounted to nothing more than the wide-sweep- ing outcurve, the easiest thrown of all curved balls. Presumably, too, it rolled out over his inutile thumb, for that is the curve that the pioneers generally used. The out-curve and the out-curve drop thrown in that way might bend farther than the quick out-shoot or drop thrown by more recent pitchers whose thumbs are indispensable, but the old-fashioned curve had compara- lively little speed. Moreover, sooner or later it became pie" to the expert
 batsman
 Since Mann's time there have been numerous variations of the old slow going out-curve. Now the lightning like out-shoot, the in- shoot, the in and out-drop and the hop bay be thrown with speed and accuracy by the crack pitchers of any high school team. The tions as it approaches the batsman, but few pitchers have ever acquired much control of this ball and today it is in comparative disuse.
 It is interesting to remember, in this connection, that there were scientists
 who once denied that pitched ball
 could be made to change directions at given point, and some of them are
 said to have refused to believe their
 eyes when the fact was demonstrated
 to them. The curved ball introduced
 a point in physics that they had not anticipated. The principle of the curv-
 ed ball is that leaving the hand twist
 ing its course straight ahead, it cuts
 a hole in the air, packing the air ahead
 or it, so. that at the point desired by
 the pitcher, air-pressure will turn the
 ball in the direction intended.
 Formerly that boy in the community
 who could throw a curved ball was a
 person apart. a hero. Today the boy
 who cannot throw one or more curved
 balls has good reason to be ashamed
 to admit it.
