Auhurn-csntre Game

Already football followers are be- ginning to talk about the Auburn Centre game here on November 12. declared R. c. Todd yesterday.
 This is expected to bring out the largest crowd of the season. The fame of the Praying Colonels' has spread all over the country, espe- cially since the rise of 'Bo' McMillau and his crowd two seasons ago. AL though Georgia Tech defeated them last season, this defeat Is discounted because of the hard Harvard game which preceded the Tech game for Centre.
 Auburn is expected to make things close for the Kentuckians, and a gruelling battle on Redwood field Is anticipated. -Auburn,s game with Clemson Friday should give line or comparative strength, as the Caro- lima Tigers lost to the Colonels by a 14 to 0 score recently"

Let Us Have Truth.
 About Birmingham


 N0THEN the grand jury finishes WV Investigating alleged vice conditions in Birmingham it will probably be found that statements made during the heat of a political campaign have done the city grave injustice and have reflected unduly on members of the city commits sion.
 There is not town in the United States that could be truthfully called a "hotbed of vice." That is a favorite charge of "sawdust" evan gelists and militant reformers, but every we'll informed person who is not swayed by prejudice or hysteria and has no ax to grind knows that such statement is false and mis- leading. There will be crime and vice in all communities, depending on their size, the type of their cfti- zenship and the manner in which laws are enforced, just as long as human nature is fallible, and that will be as long as the race endures.
 Birmingham is better than many other cities of the same size. It is a noteworthy fact, and one worth re- membering, that the charge of wholesale prostitution, bootlegging and law violation was not made un- til the candidates began to warm up" for the municipal campaign. If such conditions existed why were they not brought to light and in vestigated sooner?
 The attacks launched against the
 
 city administration and the morals of Birmingham were based to a large extent on a statement at tributed to woman member of the police force. She has recently de- clared in local newspaper that Birmingham is the cleanest town in Alabama" and ''there is not house of prostitution in the city of Birmingham that has not been raided, and they are raided regu- larly. In every instance where house of i'll repute is found. the boarding house license is revoked"
 This is the same policewoman who was quoted as saying that there were four hotels and 300 boarding houses in Birmingham that were ex- isting on vice. >Let us have the facts, not hearsay. The grand jury is try ing to separate the true from the false, and when it's labors are ended it should be possible to show just how much basis there was, if any, for the charges directed against law enforcement and the morals of this city.
 If Birmingham needs house cleaning, that should be done, but if it is found, as now seems probable, that there was more smoke than fire, more rumor and political propa- ganda than proof of wrongdoing, then the persons making these claims should retract them and set Birmingham right in the eyes of the country, so that visitors who are ex- pected to attend our semi-centennial celebration will not think they are coming to a city where immortality and lawlessness are rampant, or de- eide to remain at home where their morals, their poclketbooks and their l lives are safe.

I am at a loss to ac- count for it, as I planted only Porto Rican sweet potato slips but evil dently there must have been one or two white Queen yam slips in the bunch.
 The potato, while very large, is equally divided in the middle, Just as if a line had been drawn through 1t and one-half is one color and the other half another.
