Hartford earned one in the fourth on
two base hit and a single, and in the
fifth they got two unearned runs on
single and two errors, one at third and
one in right field.
Bannister went into the box for
Hartford in the sixth, and Paw Paw
opened on him with two singles, but
could not score in the following three
innings.
In the seventh, five hits-a home run
by Sanders, two bagger and three
singles, earned three runs for Hartford
and put the score at 13 to Q and the
temperature began to rise. In the
eighth, two singles and two errors, one

notwithstanding the many as
N surances that Hartford, with
Summers in the box, would
shut out the county seat boys, they
were compelled TO return home sadder,
wiser and poorer than when they came.
Paw Paw proceeded to light onto the
supposed invincible Summers and drove
him out OF the box In five innings. 1t
Is a long time since such a strongly
touted wonder has taken such drub-
bing as was administered to Summers
In the five innings that he pitched, it
was fusilade of singles, two baggers
and three base hits. Fourteen hits for
a total of twenty-five bases were made
of him in the five innings. In the 9Th,
Summers was sent to left field and Ban
mister went into the box and Paw Paw
proceeded to touch him up very lively,
but chump base running again got in
its work and Paw Paw lost several pos
sible scores in the last four innings.
Paw Paw, as usual, started off with
severe dose of rattles and permitted
Hartford to chalk up three unearned
runs on single and three intield err
rors Hartford, not to be outdone,
permitted Paw Paw to score three on
base on balls, an outfield error, two in-
field errors and a single.
In the second inning, Paw Paw earn
ed two runs on three singles and
sacrifice hit.
In the third inning, Paw Paw explod-
ed Summers and by three singles,
three base hit and two bagger, earn
ed five runs Hartford was blanked in
the second and third innings. In the
third, Demontraville and Sanders were
both out at second by Fuhrman's mag
nitcent throwing. Hartford found out
to their sorrow that Jake can play ball,
as his work behind the bat was the
feature of the game.

The only unpleasant feature
of the game was the dirty
ball playing of Demontra-

of work is entirely out of
place in amateur athletics.

The spindies of Dixie.

TLat sensible republican newspaper, the New York Mail and Expesss, has the Following:
 At no t1nle since the states of llIhe south, casting off the lethargy following the awful results of civil war began to compete with the north and east in man. lJfacture, have the statistics of the mills of Dixie been Eo eloquen. as at pres ent of progress ard elf premise. As cot ton is the grsa't silaple in production, so must cotton manufacture become and remain the great feature in industrial activity, tlts depression or prosperity iu- dicating largely the general condition of the people.
 Statistics nJw at hand slhcw, for fn- stance, such comparisons a9 the follow ing for Alabama, North and Sou.h Caro- Nina, Georg.iss Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee and Virginia combined: In 1890, number of sp,ndles, 1,533, ,250; jf 1897, 3.451,631. Approximate increase, 12D per cerit. The influence of railroad der vSlopment fn this increase is shown by the fact that on the line of the Southern railway are located 249 co.ton mills out elf a total of 4S4, representing B per cent. mora sptndleI than existed i'm 1S9D throughout the entire south.
 Ttis is intended to be very compli- enertary, and it is very nice as far as it goes, but 1t does not go far enough. Cotton is net the. only king in The south.

No Sentimentality,

There should be no sentiment in the case of Commissioner Culver. No one believes he got cent of money which did not belong to him, but that he was negligent of the states interest there can be no doubt. He admits as much when he says he should have gone over the books when his chief clerk was sick. Perhaps MT. Lott, the removed tax col- lector at Mobile, is of the Impression he was victim of persecution by the state administration at Montgomery. If the administration had not investi- gated MT. Lott and alH the other de- faulting collectors it would have been unfaithful to its trust. The time to excuse carelessness in public officials is past. The people who elect them pro- pose taking them to a strict accounta- bility for the faithful performance of every part of their official duties. Care- 1essness is no excuse.
 If a man. who is elected to an office. Is not competent to perform its duties, he. should be asked to resign or re- moved. A careful and exact administra- tion of public offairs as well as honest ones is the demand of the people.

The Outlook Is Bright.

It is predicted that there will to all appearances, be an early fall, and it is confidently expected that Jack Frost Will soon swoop down upon the regions in which Yellow Jack is carrying on his deadly work. This means the early re- and all the indications point to unusual commercial and industrial activity. Fortunately, the fever seems to be of very mild type, and it is believed that it will soon disappear without doing much more damage.
 It will be a joyous winter to the peo- pie if they realize a small percentage of their expectations. For several ong years they have worked harder and economized more than ever before in their whole existence. These patient, industrious toiers deserve a reward, and it is to be hoped that it is coming in the shape of better times and all the blessings that follow in the train of the goddess of fortune. When the wave of prosperity gets here in good earnest there will be the biggest rush of trade seen in many years, and even the most sanguine prophets of good times will be surprised.
 The first drawback will be tendency to go into speculative ventures and strain credit. Then, after a period of flush times, the reaction will come. A general settlement will follow; values win be readjusted and crowd of spec ulators will be smashed, and another panic will come. There is nothing new in all this. It is the usual course of things, and people ought to be familiar enough with the whole business to make it a point during season of good times to save something for rainy day.

TELEPHONE CALLS.
Mir. MckinIey's Kin.

President Mckinley is making a bad record in the matter of appointing his kinsmen. He has made one of his cousins consul general at London. An nncle is assistant postmaster at San Francisco. A nephew is receiver of public moneys at Guthrie. Anothsr nephew is postmaster at Moline, III. A third nephew is to receive a fat federal office at Columbus o.
 This is nepotism with a vengeance. The president is in too much of hurry to take care of his kin. Naturally, there is protest in republican ranks and it is just one. The competent repub- licans who have served their party ably and faithfully should be provided for first, and then if there are any vacan- cies the president cannot be blamed for favoring his cousins. nephews and un- cles.
 But this great government must not be made a family affair. It belongs to the people and should be administered in their interest. and not for the profit of the Mckinley family. This is the way the people look at it.

Drinking Water Made Pure

fihe Charleston News and Cour.er calls attention to the recently published form ula of Prof. BilslelS for g.erssizlng drink ing water oapeaply and exped.tiously. by means Of bromide and amnlonia. We wholly agree with our Charleston com temporary as to the value of a method that will deseroy the disease germs in water. including those of cholera a,-d typhoid. Many wide d.ztric,s in all rsI'ts of the country are unoccupred and nearly vaIaeleSs because the water in those distr.e.s is impure. It is not convenient to iboil wa.er for drinking purposes at all times and in all places, and no other method alt once cheap and convenient rhas ibeen cnade known to the people at large
 The new method has, it is claimed, been thoroughly ,ttxtsd, is quick in op- e1tation, almost without expense, and in other respects uncibjectionalble. Here it is: To sterelize gallon of waiter first put into it three drcps of solution consist ing of 100 paa.cs of water, 20 parts of bro HiiliS dLu ~ pdIUS or pOuaSSlum pro mlde. After five minutes add three drops of a nine per cent. solution of ann monia, and the water is then ready for use.
 If so simple and inexpensive a me, bod will turn impure into water free from disease germs, the fact cannot be too soon or loo widely known. Our state board of health would render us ali a great service by thorough test of the method we have given. The Popular Science News contains g. detailed ex- planaEion of it, including the results of a series of tests in Boston.
 1t is impossible do oyerestimate the importance of pure water No one can drink impure water and maintain a high degree of vitality. It undermines the health elf even the most rugged. It is the chief source Of disease. We arc not pre- pared to say that a way has been found to render such water harmless; we can only say that the new plan comes 10 us so we'll fndorsed that It deserves a trial by those who are the guardians of the health of the people. Try 1t. 1t will cos'a practically nothing. ard may do much good.

The Answer Will Come.

The Chicago Chronicle understands the situation. It says:
 What is tha use of passing Dingley tariffs to hold the American market for northeastern manufacturers, to the southern end of that market is to be demoralized by rumpuses and qualrels fomented by the very administration rhat backed the said tariff?
 Northern votes answered this question in 1874, in 1876, in 1884, in 1890 and in 1892. Let Mckinley and Hanna go on stirring up Cain in Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana; they will get their an- This is the way to talk. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad as we'll as bad. MT. Mckinley and his crowd will get paralyzing answer next var, and it will be emphasized in thun- der tones in 1900. There are millions of substantial citizens of both political par ties in the north who believe that the nation will never enjoy the fullest meas ure of prosperity until the south receives fair treatment.
 No president in the first six months of his term ever succeeded in making as many breaks and brought upon himself as much merited consume as have fallen to the lot of MT. Mckinley.
