LEAGUE IS A SUCCESS.
Little Rock Team Returns Home Flushed With the Pride of
 Eleven Straight Games.

Harry Edwards, President of the State Baseball League. and manager of the Little Rock team, returned yesterday evening from Hot Springs with his players, flashed with the pride of eleven straight games and only one fiercely contested defeat. The local team is pronounced by all to be the best that ever wore the Little Rock colors There may have been more brilliant individual play CTS, but there hY' certainly never been better team work, and to this is aserbed the almost phenomenal success which has attended the club from the very first. Through the constantly recurrit g victories of the Little Rock team, TeXarkanna, Fort Smith and Hot Springs have been spurred on to strengthen their teams and much more may be expected of them in the future. The league is an accomplished success. While no great amount of money has been made the clubs have paid expenses and established a reputation for the second round. There is a good interest at all the points, and the patronage has been encom aging. The only grievance which Mr. Edwards has is against the Texar- kama, Tex, Rifles, who euchered him out of large portion of Saturdays receipts by taking possession of the park on Wednesday for drill which was not gwen until about o'clock
 4 fence and grandstand will be put up at Texarkana. There are good grounds at Hot Springs and Fort Smith. It is expected that Shreve- port and Pine Bluff will enter the league before it is many days older. making a six-club ague.-Arkansa Democrat.

- In an editorial article on 'new uses
of corn" printed a few days ago, the
Chicago Tribune gives some information
which will interest all housewives, and a
good many other people h%ereabouts. It
says "The enforced economy made ne
oessary during the last few years has I'M
doubtedly encouraged an important sub
stitution Of corn for wheat as a bresdstuff.
Even when the disparity between the
prices of corn and wheat was less marked
than at the present time, the substitution
of corn, particularly in the adulteration
of wheat flour, began to attract general
attention in milling circles. Byimproved
corn milling processes the proportion Of
corn flour which wheat flour will carry
without much danger of detection has
been greatly increased during the last few
years. There is an apparent desire on
the part of mi1lers to withhold data on
this subject. Notwithstanding the whole
someness of products of the great Ameri-
can cereal, It must be admitted that the
great part of the corn which has been put
into consumption has masqueraded under
guise Of wheat flour. The consumption
Of corr as q lood for human beings is
greater In this country than abroad. 1t
is particular large in the South, and 1t
is safe to say that q great part of the flour
milled for the Southern trade during the
last two years has carried q full quota of
corn" OF course, if the corn passes for
flour in all respects, there is no harm
done except in the fraud that is perpe-
trated. If we are to eat corn flour with
wheat flour, however, it would be better
to make the mixture for ourselves, in
stead of paying u Yankee neighbors
the price Of pure wheat flour for it. Flour
mills in the South might use the Tribune's
revelation to their advantage.

9Maerspa gatetNgeHeer,
McLaurin on the Result.

The following expression from Senator
McLaurin was sent to the Atlanta Con
stitution the night Of the election;
''In response to your request will say
that 1 am, of course, deeply grateful to
the people of South Carolina for this
marked evidence of their confidence and
esteem. No man could have this feeling
more sincerely than I. The result is
particularly gratifying in view OF the
character OF the fight that has been made
upon me and of the serious illness which
has prevented my participating in the
campaigning during the past three weeks.
It is needless for INC to add that In my
future service in the Senate as in my six
years of service in the lower house of
Congress, my entire energies nhall be
devoted to the welfare of my State, for
God knows every throb Of my heart has
been for South Carolina and for that
which I believe to be the good of her
people.
"As to the moaning of my endorsement
at the hands of the people I can nay that
during this campaign my appeal has been
to the intelligence, the honor and the
reason of the people. While my oppo"
nents have appealed to everything in
human nature that is low, base and
mean, the result shows that there ia more
of intelligence, virtue and honesty in
South Carolina than there is Of ign ORANGE
and prejudice.
"It is, too, an Endorsement by the peo-
Pile Of the State Of the Democratic princi-
pie Of tariff for revenue. The efforts on
the part of my opponents to misrepresent
my position on the tariff question may
have been successful in some individual
instances, but for the most part the peo-
pie have understood that my sterd hos
been squarely upon the Democrats plat
form, and that my votes in trying to
amend the Dingley bill were cast in de-
tense of the people whom I represent and
to compel the Republican party to place
the South as nearly as possible upon an
equal footing with the balance of the
country. They have Endorsed my record
In so voting, as I knew they would, for
the principle which inspired those votes
was the true Democratic principle Of
equality.
with regard to internal affairs In
South Carolina l regard the result Of this
primary as meaning pre-eminently the
end of factional feeling in the State. a
new political era has dawned Of the
State. Up to this time for the past si1
years the elections, State, county, munic-
ipal, from county coroner up, have only
been q question IS to the man who could
shout the loudest for the Reform faction
and for Tillman. LIDO not mean to say
anything against Senator Tillman or to
impugn the motives of the men who have
been calling Tor reform, but I believe the
time has come when something else is
required of public men or aspirants for
Office generally. The decision of the
people from this time forward is going to
BIO based on the ability and the character
of the man and the doctrine and prin-
ciples he advocates. That is n meaning
of the result of this primary and so far as
South Carolina is concerned it is by no
means the least.
