M'NAUGHTON'S FRIENDS
TO RENEW EFFORTS TO
SECURE HIS PARDON

Atlanta, June 90.-The friends OF
DIR. ]. w. McNaughton are planning to
renew their efforts to secure for him
a pardon and the restoration of his
citizenship, according to information
received at the capitol Monday morn
ing.
DR.. McNaughton is now serving a
life sentence at the state prison in
Milledgeville on a charge of poisoning
a man by the name of Flanders in
Emanuel county about nine years ago.
The wife of Flanders was jointly in
dicted with DR.. McNaughton as an
accessory to the crime She was never
prosecuted, hover, and DR.. McNaugh-
ton has always contended that if she
was innocent, he must be innocent
also, inasmuch as the states case was
based upon the theory that DR..
McNaughton and Mrs. Flanders had
ccnspired together to poison Fland-
ers.
DR.. McNaughtOn was recommended
for a pardon by the prison commission
in 1913. but his pardon was never
granted.

NEGROES PLAN b|G
 DAY ON JULY 4 Auto Race, Barbecue, Fight Returns and Dance at
 Fairgrounds

All plans for the mammoth automo- bile races and grand barbecue to be held at the Alabama state fair grounds by the negroes on July have been completed and indications point to record breaking crowd being present to witness the event between six of the most daring coiored pilots the south has ever seen.
 No change in the programme for- merly announced has been made or is expected. The celebration will last until late hour that night, when a big dance will take place at the grounds.
 W. L. Porter, well known negro newspaper correspondent, has per- fected plans to get returns on the Will lard-Dempsey fight from Toledo. which will be given out to the spec tators by bulletin.
 The Birmingham Colored Automobile races and entire celebration is being given, has arranged to entertain many thousand persons. Some of the cars and motorcycles which are to be used in the races are being tried out on the track each afternoon and at the Black man automobile shop, where they are being quartered while here. Large mum bers of persons gather during the day to give them the once over. The races will commence at 2:S0 p. m.

Dempsey will hurt hlm-and he'll do it in the first round. Then you'll see Jess go up in the air, because he won't know, as would a natural born fighter. what to do."
 F It's true what Kearns says about natural born fighters being the great est. Terry Ex-Governor was a battler almost from his first day in kicker lockers. Fighting came as natural to him as swimming does to a duck. His greatest joy came when he was tossed into the ring with man and told to batter minor be battered.
 JOHN L. BORN THAT WAY
 John L. Sullivan was the same. He was fighter from childhood. Un- schooled in the fine art of boxing, ne tackled Paddy Ryan in 1882 and beat him down and so became champion of the world. In every crisis in his rlnS duels instinct told Sullivan just what to do. And for 10 years he ruled the pugilistic world and made name for himself that will endure as long as the ring game lasts.
 Tom Sharkey was another natUai born fighter. And so was Jefffes. The big boilermaker loved the init game and though he didn't get into 1t until after he had served me as sparring partner in Carson City, he went along in meteoric fashion once on his way. And for years afterward Jeff was invincible.
 Fitzsimmons. Mccoy, Maher, Phila- delphia Jack OBrien, Tommy Ryan, Frank Erne, Dal Hawkins, Jack Me- Auliffe, George Dixon Peter Jackson, Charlie Mitchell ana all the other truly greats of the ring were natural fighters. They started swinging their fists in childhood and even the curb ing influences of the years could not take from their love for battling. They were fighters-from the beginning to the end.
 Dempsey is that type Fighting comes natural to him. He loves it.. And Kearns is right in saying that in- stinct is strong within Dempsey; that his sixth sense as a fighter tells hi n just what to do-and not to do--in critical moments.
 But whether Dempsey, great fighter that he is. can whip the superman that he faces on July 4 to the big ques- tion. Jack will have youth and fight ing instinct among his assets. But he will be confronted with the task of hurting a man-manufactured fighter though he may be-who never before has been hurt by all the powerful rinsmen that have attempted the task.

Mexicans Join in the
 Peace Celebration

Washington, July 1.-Mexicans joined with Americans in singing the American national anthem at a declaration of the signing of the peace treaty held Sunday at Monterey, Mexico, according to an an- nouncement today by the state depart ment.
 The governor and other officials of the state of Neuvo Laredo invited the Amer ican consuls to the state house for the celebration
 Several hundred military students of the Mexican university participated. After the American national anthem was sung a friendly address was made and the same honor was accorded the British, Italians and French. The celebration was closed by the singing of the Mexican na- tional anthem and a speech by the gov- ernor to which the American consul gen. eral responded.

Jess isn't real fighter-and never was He's been lucky-that's why he became champion. Fate ruled that he was to get a chance at Jack Johnson just when the negro was all gone Anybody could have licked Johnson that day in Havana.
 When Dempsey, one of the great est natural fighters that ever lived, tackles Jess Willard. the manufactured warrior on July 4, the whole world wal be able to detect the difference be- tween a made fighter who battles along stereotyped lines and the nat ural born ringman who fights by ill., stinct."
 Jess never had a boxing glove
 on his hand in his life until seven
 years ngO. He knew nothing about
 the art of fisticuffs-and cared
 nothing. Cowboy work and labor
 ing on n ranch suited him. But
 Jess saw Carl Morris-big, 1um-
 bering MOrris-in action one night
 and decided that if, Morris could
 get easy money that way he could
 do likewise.
 And Jess, around the age of 32,
 when no per cent of the fighters
 are through, started on his career.
 It took a long time to develop Wii- lard. Months and years of patience with him were necessary. He didn't school easi1y-didnt take to fighting like the natural born warrior. But he learned his trade, just the same, and today ne is heavyweight champion of the world--a point that a thousand warriors have tried to reach since Jeff fries was dethroned. Only Willard the manufactured ringman, has achieved that pinnacle.
 having been lucky m getting the match with Johnson when the negro was all in" But no one can take from Willard the credit of victory. He won fairly and cleanly. He showed he could hit when it was necessary to hit; he showed a good defense and marvel ous power to take a wallop. And that's demonstrating ring greatness.
 Kearns contends that only a natural born fighter will know what to 1o when hit, hurt and driven to a cor ner. He declares that the first mir ute that Dempsey lands dama gins blow upon Willard will be the minute that Willard 'blows up'' and is through.
 At times like that a natural born fighter knows instinctively what to do," says Kearns. "A manufactured fighter doesn't Willard never has been confronted with such situation because no one has hurt him. But

ORCUTT. EXPECTS KNOCKOUT Champion Caller of Dixie to Be on the Job Here
 July Fourth

Birmingham fight fans have talked of little else than the Willard-Demp- sey battle on July for the last month and great variety of opinions have been expressed. With the majority of local people Willard has been the favorite, especially with those who have seen him fight.
 Commodore Orcutt will call every move of the big fellows when they get in the ring Everybody knows what this means. or it would seem so from the advance sale of tickets for the matinee. Practically the entire house has been sold out, although it is still possible to get a few good seats. They are going fast, though and from all indications there will be standing room only at the Jefferson when the key begins to click.
 i've met lot of Birmingham peo- pie who have doubts about there be- ing a. decision at Toledo" said Com modore Orcutt. who, in addition to be- ing the most noted "caller" in captiv- ity, is widely quoted as an authority on Al sporting matters, but this is a matter on which I don't think there will be any anxiety. There'll be de- cision, all right, and I look for a knockout. I called the Jeffries knock out at Reno anu l II TeSlSter dHOtHST at Toledo.
 twelve rounds isn't the longest fight in the world, but these big fell lows don't need to go 30 and 40 rounds to get decision. They can get one before that. It's a different proposi- tion with the lightweights and the bantams and welters. They can carry on indefinitely, but it's different with the big fellows. And I predict knock out on the fourth at Toledo"
 Apparently a large number of Bir- mingham fans are of the same opinion as Commodore and they are not going to miss the chance of following every move of the fighters on the fourth Special arrangements have been made for cooling the Jefferson on the aft ernoon of the fourth should the day prove a hot one. and it will be tas most comfortable place in town from which to ''see' the battle And the fans realize this, judging from the avalanche of money that has poured into the box office ever since the seat sale opened
 I'm in fine shape" declared the Commodore. when asked about his voice "I could call 40 rounds if nee essary."

 There's only one way to get real quality into. cigar; that's by using high-grade tobacco. There's only one tobacco in 7c cigar; that's by using short filler.
 What is short filler?

 There's only one objection to the snort filler cigar; the scraps that get into your mouth. That's nuisance, of course, and it's the thing that has kept the short filler cigar from popularity.
 But the Salome cigar has solved the problem with that new idea-the rein forced head. A long filler head that absolutely prevents . single scrap from getting into your mouth.
