AUGUST BUSY MONTH
FOR STATE TROOPERS

During the month Of August mem.
bers Of the State Police made three
hundred and fifty arrests, gave aid
and assistance after ten automobile
accidents Of O more or less serious
nature and recovered four stolen
cars. From comparative stand
point this is an excellent record. An
interesting point which is worthy Of
mention 10 the large number of differ.
ent cases upon which the State Police
have been called. Never before In
the history Of the organization have
the services Of the troopers been
needed In 30 many different ways.
The monthly report shows that the
offenses resulting In arrests were
widely varied and the police were
kept unusually busy in every section
of the State. II the following months
prove as highly satisfactory as the
first month In the fiscal year, q new
record will be established by the State
Police for 1921.
Blind pigs, Illicit stills and rum.run-
ners all came In for their share Of at
tention during August. Eight stills
were successfully raided and more
than two thousand gallons OF liquor
confiscated. A noticeable fact in con-
nections with these raids ia
that the stills are more crude.
ly constructed than those which
have been brought to the
attention Of the troopers In the past.
In some cases the connections were
boiled I'D In oil cans and the mash
was allowed to stand in dirty tin YES
sells. Fully seventy-ave per cent of
the liquor confiscated during the past
month was Of poisonous nature.
containing many oxides.

PAINTERS ID MEET BULLDOG QUINTET
Initial Clash Between Two Rivals to Take Place
 Tuesday at the ''Y''

The two ancient rivals, the Bir-
 mingham-S southern Pnnthers and
 the Howard College Bulldogs, will
 meet in their initial cage eucoun-
 ter of the season next Tuesday
 night at the court of the Y. NJ. C.
 A., which will he the first of
 series of three games between the
 two quintets. The game Tuesday
 night will be the classic cage cen-
 test of the season, from local E standpoint, as these two athletic
 teams of the NIethodists and Bap-
 lists always stage nifty scrap , before either emcrgcs with the de-
 cision.
 The second encounter will take place at the B. A c. on February 52, while the third, if necessary to decide winner. of lhe series, will be played on February 2S. the meeting place to be decided by the flipping of T coin All details liave been arranged by the athletic authorities of the two fns itu- tions.
 The Panthers vii. enter the argument minus the services of two of their best court stars, Shorty Propst, the big center, and Aubrey Miller, guard and captain of last years quinett. Both of these have had the influenza, and were unable to make the trip to Montgom- cry Friday with the team. Burney will probably be switched from forward to fill Propsts shoes at center, while Griffin will take Burney's forward po- sition 7asle3 will probably be sub stiruted fer Mille~ at guard. Hall ms also get a chance at the pivotal po- sition.
 The team will probably lineup Tues day night with Norton (captain) and | Griffin, forwards; Burney, center; Candy and Bagley, guards. The Partners have shown little team : work, passwork or accuracy in goal | shooting during the season thus far. They have somehow been able to get 1 together, but if is hoped that when they 1 tangle with the Howard quintet Tues l day night the team will show some of l the ability displayed by practically the | same aggregation last year. The Panther five defeated the Bulldogs last year while both aggregation were play 1 ing in the City League, and the Meth odists will attempt to duplicate their stunt of last season.
