umpire in the Atlanta Mobile game to-. day, notwithstanding his release, which came during the game Monday. Clarke has not been paid salary due him to date and continues work under the rule making full payment of all salary due prerequisite to release, so he claims. Both managers were willing, however, for Clarke to do the work, and 1t was good work he did. Atlanta won the game, but 1t was by close margin. It was heart disease game from first to last. Walker and Schmidt did the pitching and both were good. Atlanta scored the first run in the fourth on a base on balls, a single and players choice. Mobile tied the score in the seventh on Paynters home run hit. In the eighth Callahan put the ball over the fence. Wood got a base on balls and was worked around by Buschman's error, Norton's fly out to Casey and Fields single. Mobile again tied the score in the eighth, Buschman and Wiseman crossing the plate on two singles, errors by Callahan and Shea and a fly out to Vandyke.s Atlanta added three in the ninth, only one being earned. Mobile added two In her half of the ninth, but could not do better Knowles has re- leased Cross and Wagner. Score:

DIFFIDENT BOB SIMS, CoLoRED.
Says He Wants Place on the Hale County
 Repopulite Committee.


 Greensboro, June 2.-(Special)- Saturday the radicals had meeting at the court house in Greensboro and in- dorsed the county ticket put out by the populites at Liberty church. But they did not supply the vacancies on the coun- ty ticket, that is, for the offices of treas urer, collector and assessor, and these off, ficers on the democratic ticket will have a walkover.
 The radicals appointed a committee of seven to supply any vacancy which might occur on the populite ticket, or to put out the entire ticket if for any reason the populites should take down their tick ct. If your correspondents information be correct this committee will have to act very soon, for it is learned that MT. Nelson will insert in this weeks Watch man a card desiring to run as commits sioner on the populte ticket. The rads need not be at loss for candidate in MT. Nelson's place, for Bob Sims, young colored politicianin his speech before the meeting on Saturday stated that he wanted an office and that he was as com petent to fill it as any white man in the county. So by all means let this com mttee put Bob Sims on the ticket for county commissioner. That will be noth- ing but fair, for the negroes furnish the majority of the voters and should have showing for the offices.

Results of Yesterdays Games.
Standing.

Just think of 1t, ye fans and rooters! Birming gham is within one game of a tie with Mobile for fourth place and every indication favorable to an onward and upward progress for the Bluebirds. The Oysters had a tight cinch on fourth place until their arrival in this city, but three straight defeats here put the locals in grasping distance of the coveted position. Had it not been for those unfortunate errors in Mondays game in Columbus the locals would have been in undasputed title to the position; but with four games yet to be played with the tailenders, and the Oysters hav- ing Atlanta and Montgomery to contend with, 1t is 10 to l shot that Mobile will be contesting with Columbus for
 the bottom round of the ladder.
 In the event that Birmingham gets three Of the four remaining games with Columbus, and Atlanta breaks even dur ing the remainder of the week, the Gate City aggregation will have to put out danger signals to head the Bluebirds off from third place before the 18th. All three of the games yesterday were pretty ones, in fact much better than any three of the National league. each being won by the close margin of one score. Montgomery seems to have struck hard pan, and Is gradually drawing away from the Pelicans, who continue to increase their percentage, while the Capital City aggregation are doing exactly the re- verse. Moral-Don't holo until you're out of the woods, Granny. ~
 Judging from the press report from Att lanta the victory yesterday was one of pure luck and not hard playing. It seems that Manager Knowles has made a move toward recuperating his aggregation, and 1t would not be untimely for another manager to awaken to the fact that good ball players are necessary to successful results in the national sport.
 It has been stated by several that Man ager Rourke of the Birmingham team Is cracker-jack, and if the report be true nothing would be more plea sing to local admirers of the sport than to have him don blue uniform and give practical proof of the assertion. He is said to be an excellent baseman, and, if so, little rest for Godar would no doubt be appre- cia ted by him, and perhaps he could be induced to take few lessons in trying to head off hits lined out in the direction
 of the third bag. What say you, MT. Manager?
 The following tells the tale of yester- days victory:
 Columbus, June 2.-One of CarrolPs ugly errors lost Columbus the game to-
 day. The game started off with every
 thing in the locals favor. Pedrose went
 to the bat and sent the first ball to left,
 making second. Carroll flew out to cen
 ter. McFadden hit safe on error. Hall
 hit to short and went to first on Ryan's
 error, scoring Pedrose and McFadden. Dobbins hit to second and was thrown
 out at first Then there was a see-saw
 performance until the fourth, when Full
 Ter scored on Halls error. Columbus
 added one more run to her column in the
 sixth which was her last, and Birming-
 ham got one in the sixth, seventh and
 ninth. The game was featureless, neith-
 CT side making an earned run. Following

LITERARY NOTES.

DR. Weir Mitchell has been en-.
gagged for several years on q novel
which will give peculiar satisfaction
to those who rejoice in tho able and
worthy treatment of American life
and character in American fiction.
The story is called "Hugh Wynne,
Free Quaker" and will begin as q
serial in the November Century.
Those who have read the manuscript
say that 1t Is not only DR.. Mitchell's
masterpiece, but will rank as one of
the greatest of American novels.
The scene is laid in Philadelphia be.
fore and during the Revolutionary
War, and among the characters are
Washington, Franklin, Lafayette,
Benedict Arnold and Major Andre.
The hero of the story serves on Gen.
eral Washingt0n's staff.

One thing is sure, William Ray
went to Grand Forks with solid
county delegation backing him
for railroad commissioner; but
the powers that were would not
concede the office to Dickinson
man. In the opinion of the Press
it would have been good politics
for the demo-pops to have nomi-
mated Mr.. Ray, as it would have
given representation to the Slope
country, and besides Mr.. Ray is a
man who has the "sinews of war. !"
1t is safe to say that he has got
more wealth than all the other
demo pop nominees of the state
ticket punched together.

increase in Railroad Tax.

The assessment of the different railroads in
the state as fixed by the state board will In
crease very materially the revenues Of the state
and counties by taxation. The;total valuation
of the roads, as fixed by the old board of equal
ization last yoar was 90, ,725 900. At q tax rate
of4h mills the revenue to the state was about
$3O0C0. Under the new valuation, the total is
about $s,OOO,CoO and the taxes received will be
greater in proportion.
Tho Northern Pacific last year was valued at
$941, 600 upon its 1854 miles of main line. This
year, at 5000 per mile, the valuation will be
about 81, 600, or an increase Of some 1000
Branch lines of the sane road last year were
assessed at 81 ,3Ol, 100; this year, the valuation
will be about 81, 1,450000, an increase of about
s145, 900; tho total increase Of the Northern
Pacific, therefore, is about $a650o0, on main
line and branch roads; and to this the vslua-
tion of 100 miles of sidetracks at $3.50 per mile,
another increase of $4,000, and the difference
from last year is about $4,000, upon which
taxes must be paid in addition.
The Great Northern last year was valued at
81 GAS, ,497 so on it's main line. This valuation 10
about $1,775 0OO difference of some $127. .00060;
tho branches last year were assessed at 41,A8S..
SOO and this year their valuation will be $1.6S2,
600, difference of s163,sOo, and total Of
about 500, 900 and to this approximately 376,-
600 for side tracks, and tho total difference ID
some 1856 ,0Co.
Tho 500 last year was valued at 100000 on it
$50 miles of main line. This year the valuation
will be $1,0e0,Ooo, a difference of $4,000
branches last year were valued at $st8,0o0, and
this year will be valued at 900, q difference
of $4,000; The Milwaukee and 500 will also
pay on proportionately higher valuation
than last year, the Milwaukee about $4,000
and tho Northwestern about 5000.
The Great Northern is assessed by the board
at the highest rate on its main line. The road
taps the entire Rcd River valley, ono of tht
heaviest traffic producing sections in the state
whereas the Northern Pacific, after it passe.
out of Cass county, passes through q considera
bio stretch of comparatively light traffic. Thu
| branches of tho two roads were equalized a
| $1,000; some of them ore profitable, while 9th
ers are comparatively proftless, and the boart
equalizcd the whole at 5000.
Tho assessment of side tracks, which wa
made for tho first time, will add about $4,000
to tho valuation of tho property Of the roads

track, upon which the valuation at $50 pe
mile will bc 81, 7,250.-Bismarck Tribune

Ex-Gov. ANTHONY, of Kansas,
who died the other day, left be-
hind him a forcible illustration of
the difference between honest
and dishonest money. "Sup-
pose" he said, "that a person had
a $40 bill issued by the Roman
government at the time of its
greatest power and glory. How
much would that bill be worth
today and who would redeem it7
But if the same person had a Ro-
man eagle coined at that time it
would be as good as it was when
Caesar rode at the head of the
