Opposition Develops.
While the prohibition forces were
getting ready to make the campaign,
the antl-prohllbtlon forces were not
Idle. By the time the central campaign
committee was named and the subject
was being agitated by the ministers, the
women of the Birmingham district, the
young people's societies, the retail
merchants, many ‘ manufacturers and
others, Industrial Birmingham got to
gether and decided that prohibition
would probably hurt the city commer
cially and drlvo labor away. Heads of
lome of the big Industries recognized
the fact that the prohibitionists had
formed one of the most compact work
ing organizations ever before organized
In Jefferson county. They recognized
that It would be a clean sweep unless
some definite stand was taken. It was
argued by the opposition that the city
of Birmingham would be deprived of
more than 1100,000 annually, that
houses would be vacated and that real
estate would depreciate In value. Ev
erything waa viewed from an Industrial
point. The opposition would not reveal
Us Identity at first, but on August 25
an address was printed In one of the
papers, setting forth certain reasons
why Jefferson county should not go dry.
In the address, which was signed by
some of the heads of the big Indus
tries of Birmingham, after giving some,
thing of the class of labor In the dis
trict, said:
"Skilled, as well as ordinary labor, Is
scarce and In demand all over the
country, and we know that If a sweep-
ng prohibition law should be enforced
In thla district large numbers of our
best workmen will leave. There Is no
material at hand available with which
to replace them, and new labor, auch
"e need, will not coma to a prohi
bition dletrlct."
Birmingham Newt to Rescue.
Almost before tho prohibition barrier
wea sprung The Birmingham News
came out editorially for the cause of
temperance. In a column article. The
Birmingham News declared that “pro'-
Mbltlon must come." The crusado
“gainst the sale of intoxicants was re
viewed at length and something of tho
history of dilatory tactics adopted by
Jbe City council In falling to adopt tho'
“ gn license plan was given. Contin
uing the editorial said: “There Is no
£l" en * e to make of the liquor traffic,
‘he strongest argument that the advo-
, . , . h . e *“loon advance Is the com
mercial side of the proposition. But Is
t a fact that prohibition hurts a com-
{"“""y commercially? The Blrming-
b“m Nows would answer this question
„ , an emphatic no. If Greater Blr-

Rev. C. B. Wllmer, rector of St.
Lukes Episcopal church, returned from
tho great Episcopal convention at Rich-
mond Friday night and Is at his home
In Decatur. _ ,
To one of his friends Dr. Wllmer Is
said to have stated that the published
reports of his utterances at the con
vention. in which he was quoted as
saying that "tho Bible Is the greatest
source of Infidelity," were not accurate,
and that they distorted his meaning

With reference to the Incident at
the convention Dr. Wllmer states that
there was never any hissing, either of
himself or of other speakers, and that
he had not used tho expressions at
tributed to him In press dispatches.
Ho had not said that the Bible was
the source of Infidelity, but that a
certain expression used by many to
denote the Bible was tho subject of a
similar remark.
He stated that tho Richmond news
papers had mado none if any reference
to this Incident, and thnt It .took no
Important place In the proceedings of

Piedmont Park resembled a great
play ground Saturday when the Geor
gia state fair and everything connected
therewith was turned over to the chil
dren of the Atlanta schools.
Tho gates to the fair were throw
open at 8 o'clock Saturday morning,
two hours earlier than tho accustomed
time, but even at that early hour ..
crowd of school children was waiting
with impatience at the turnstiles and
eaoh car going to tho park waa filled
to swell tho crowd.
It Is estimated that nearly 6,000 chil
dren visited the fair grounds Saturday
and a happier throng of little people
could not be found. Hundreds of them
came prepared to spend the day, and
If there waa anything Inside the en
closure that they did not see it was
because It waa locket^up and the key

The side shows on the Midway and
tho ticket handlers for tho giant hog,
the least cow In tho world, the midgets,
the animal shows and all the other
attractions on the grounds did a rush
ing business, and It Is safe to say that
"Children’s Day" will rank among the
successful days of the fair.
Concert and Fireworks.
There was a concert by Wedemcyer'
band Saturday morning at 11 o’clock,
and from 1 o'clock to 4 o'clock Saturday
afternoon there Is a magnificent exhi

In addition to the crowds of school
children which thronged the fair

people In attendance Saturday and the
number of admissions exceeded those

When Governor Hoke Smith speaks
at the Gordon county (air In Calhoun
on October 23, he will advance a plan
whereby the appropriations to the ag
ricultural schools, the state normal and
the Technological Institute can be In
creased to a grand total of <500,000 per
annum.
Governor Smith baa given much
thought to this question within the
past few weeks and because of his deep
interest In these Institutions has evolv
ed the plan for largely Increasing the
appropriations.
He declined to outline this plan In
advance, but says that It Is entirely
feasible and If put Into effect will place
these schools on higher planes and
widen their scopes of usefulness won
derfully. In Calhoun ho will discuss
state Issues generally; also the devel
opment of an educational system In the
state, particularly as relates to Indus
trial and rural schools.
Governor Smith will probably speak
at the Polk county fair, In Cedartown,
on October 22 or 10. Because of Im-

e has been compelled to decline an In
vitation to speak tn Dalton.

Little Ruby Davis Proves
Herself a Heroine Sat
urday Morning.
Ruby Davl., aged 12, saved the life
of her baby brother, Odas, Saturday
morning by beating out the flames
which enveloped his tiny body and roll
ing him over In the soft dirt until the
last spark had disappeared. Bite suf
fered a painful burn on one hand and
the little boy was burned on both
hands, about the mouth and on his
left knee. He will recover.
The children ore those of County
Policeman Thomas J. Davis, who lives
on the Flat Shoals road. About
o'clock Saturday morning Ruby was
burning some trash In the back yard.
Little Odas, who was playing around
the house, approached the fire, but
turned and trotted around the corner
of the house.
Suddenly a neighbor screamed that
the baby was on fire. Ruby, who was
once herself burned badly when
baby, rushed to him. A spark had
Ignited the .hem of his little dress and
the flames were spreading upward.
With his hands he seized the cloth and
held It away from his tiny body. In a
second Ruby had reached the scream
ing child. With her bare hands she
beat st the flamee and then threw the
baby In some soft dirt, rolling him over
and beating out the fire at the same
time. Then she tore the clothes, from
his body. By this time others had
reached the scene and the two children
were taken Into the house, where they
were given medical attention.
Little Ruby's heroism and remark
able coolness undoubtedly saved her
brother’s life. The flames burned his
mouth and had he Inhaled them, death
might have resulted. A few seconds'
delay would have been fatal. While
Ruby waa beating out the fire, the
neighbor who had first seen the child’s
danger remained as If paralyzed with
fear.
When County Policeman Davis
heard of the accident he was 5 miles
away, on his rounds. He reported to
the office and then mounting hla horse
rode at a gallop toward home, reach
ing there just half an hour later.

(Detriot "Tjmes'' Expert)
Bennett Park, Detroit, Oct. 12.—
When the Chicago Cubs and the De-
trolt TJgera clashed today In the fifth
battle of the great series for the base
ball champTvnshlp of the world, it
tho goneral opinion of every fan In
side the grounds that It would all l>o
over when the last man was out In the
ninth Inning.
The Tigers' chances to got even one
victory from thp wonderful National
League club were so slim that even tho
home team men would not take the
Bhort omt of the 2 to 1 money ofTered
freely that the Cubs would win. It was
gloomy day. Tho weather was
threatening and cloudy.
Tho enthusiaam of tho crowds of fanH
from all the state who had come to tho
city tho day before to see tho games
were sapped and they wandered out to
the park without confldence and little
hope.
Even Bennett Park, tho little box-liko
ground, was roomy to Inclose the crowd
without difficulty. Yesterday there was
hope that tho Tigers would get at the
Chicago team. But wnen the game was
over the state of Michigan was con
vinced that the Tigers were outclassed.
Today only luck can save the Detroit
team. The players themselves are rat
tled. They are beaten to a frazzle and
went against the National Leaguers
half-heartedly. On the other hand, the
Cubs had all the fire nnd dash that
has characterized their work from the
atnrt, and went Into tho contest de
termined to make It four straight and
prove onco and for nil that they won
because they were superior to
American Leaguers.
Goorgo MuIIlu. the big husky right-
handed twlrler of the Tigers, was elect
ed to save the Tigers from a clean
sweep, but It seemed doubtful If even
his pitching could put a damper on the
Cuba Mullin pitched the second con
test and did some grand work after ho
had boon defeated.
Manager Chance, of the Cubs, named
Mordecal Brown, the greatest twlrler
of the National League, vtfy* has as yet
been kept out of the big series because
of a sore arm. Today Brown Is as
strong as ever, and In that case It was
hard for the Tiger fans to see where
their men had a chance of batting In
one victory.

W ould Hon. Hoke Smith, governor of
Georgia, and Hon. IV. L. Douglas, for
mer governor of Massachusetts, prove
a combination which, if placed on the
presidential ticket at the next conven
tion, would overwhelm tho Republican
ticket, even though headed by Roose
velt or Taft, and swocp tho Democratic
party Into power in 19087
Basing his opinion upon the recent
Investigation of Wallace A. Taylor, of
tho Bates Shoe Company, of,Webster,
Mnss., a prominent nnd influential Dem
ocrat of that state, Harvey L. Ander
son, of tho Anderson Hardware Com
pany. declares that Smith and Doug
las on tho Democratic presidential tick
et would be a synonym for a Democrat
ic victory In the next presidential elec
tion.
Whllo riding from Augusta to At
lanta recently with Mr. Taylor, Mr.
Anderson broached the subject of who
would most likely head the Democratic
ticket In 1908. Mr. Anderson expressed
tho opinion that Governor Smith and
vernor Douglas would prove a
winning combination, and Mr. Taylor
took the same view, with considerable
enthusiasm.
In order to test the popularity of
thlH proposed ticket Jn the New Eng
land states. It was agreed that Mr. Tay
lor should inako Inquiries among shoe
manufacturers nnd other prominent
men In that section of tho country, and
as a result of this canvass Mr. Taylor
has written a lottor to Mr. Anderson
which confirms the opinion of both
theso gentlemen ns to the acceptability
of the proposed ticket and strengthens
Mr. Anderson In his opinion that the
combination offers the best opportunity
of Democratic success In 1908. The let
ter follows:
"Webster, Moss., Oct. 8, 1907.
Sir. Harvey L. Anderson. Atlanta, Oa: .
Dear Mr. Anderson—Perhaps you
will recall my riding with you .
from Augusta to Atlanta on the .'
afternoon of Thursday. September!
and during our conversation the
possibility of a presidential tlckot, -
'Smith and Douglas' came up.
"Since returning home I have made
Inquiries among brother shoo manu- I
facturera M tO tha desirability ami
probability of such a ticket being ac- j
ceptable to the Democratic people, and :
I found the general opinion to be that 1
New England would strongly favor
these candidates.
"I wish to take this opportunity of '
thanking you. Mr. An.liis-.n, fur the
Information advanced me on my recent;
trip, and for you making my rtde from
Augusta to Atlanta very pleasant In
deed. When you come north again do
not fall to look me up at the factory,
for I shall bo very pleased. Indeed,
to recelvo and entertain you.
“With kind regards I am,
"Yours truly,
"WALLACE A. TAYLOR."
In speaking of the probable success
of the proposed presidential ticket, Mr.
Anderson said:
Business Men's Support,
“Smith and Douglas would bo a com
bination that the business men of the
country would trust and support. They
would prove to be the strongest can
didates that tho Democratic party has
had In the Held In years and In my
opinion they would sweep the country
llko a landslide.
"Governor Smith Is one of the strong
est men in the party and would carry
the solid South with the greatest ease,
and It Is the undivided opinion of Mr.
Taylor and many others that ex-Gov-
emor Douglas would carry the New
England states and New York.
"In his campaign for governor of
Massachusetts In 1884 Mr. Douglas car
ried that state by an overwhelming
majority, something that a Democratic
candidate had never done before. The
state went Republican for president,
but Douglas swept It for governor, and
If he and Smith ate placed on the
Democratic ticket he will do to New
England Just what he did to Massachu
setts.
"As a manufacturer of the famous
Douglas shoe, Mr. Douglas Is known
throughout the country, but this Is not
the only recommendation he has. for he
Is known as one of the strongest men
in the Democratic party today.
"If the proper forces are put to work
on this proposition," concluded Mr.
Anderson, "I believe the Deinoeratlo
partv will win tho greatest victory In
1908 that It ever won."
