BABIES!
That's What the Hayseed Ag-
sregatiOn From loOgOotee
THAT CALLS ITSELF A BALL CLUB,
PROVED THEMSELVES TO BE.
The Reds Wipe the Earth With the
LOOSOOtee Babies.

to Q is what the Umpire said
but as a matter of fact it would have
been about 80 to . if the Babies, /.
e. Maroons, had played it cut.
The Ioogootee team arrived
about 8 o'clock Sunday morning
with money to burn. They were
looking for pudding. They left
at & p. M, but most Of the money
stayed in Jasper, and the pudding
hunters were marooned, i. e. left.
The Red Jackets had the Loo
gootee boys Oh the 90 hom the start
to the sixth inning, when the Ba-
bies threw up the sponge and quit.
The Loogootee pitcher was very
slow and wild, sending three men
to first in succession on balls. Oh,
it was awful rotten pitching, and
when by chance he did get blll
over the plate the Reds srnply slug
ged it for two bags.
The Washington players that the
Maroons brought with them did not
strengthen their team any.
The greatest spell of the lot was
the Loogootee catcher telling the
Umpire that a passed ball "didn'I
come within foot of his nit

Hall was the greatest guy OF the
lot. He couldn't catch the ball and
he couldn t hit it, consequently he
whined all the time.
When the Jasper club was in

had a great deal to say about make
them play 8 innings or don't give
them a cent. - How about it?

New Skyscraper 800 Feet High.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Chicago originated the skyscraper
But New York has improved on the
original, at least so far as height i.
concerned. The new Park Row
building in New York towers 800
feet from the sidewalk to the top OF
the cupolas. The fiagstaffs on the
top of the building run up fifty
seven feet more and the fouLdation
goes down tifty-four feet below the
surface. Therefore, from its bot
tom stone to the top of its hagstaffs
the new structure spans 5Ol feet.
An idea of the height of the Park
Row building may be obtained by
comparing it with the Masonic
temple, which is only 265 feet in
height, or l25 feet below the new
giant. As for the Tacoma building
in this city which is given the credit
of being the first skyscraper, is but
a dwarf comparatively. The Park
Row will have thirty stories. AT a
distance of over 300 feet above the
ground restaurant will be situated.
The rest OF the building above the
first two floors will be given up to
offices, of which there will be $50.
The total cost will be 81 400, 900.

ptvThe County Board allowed a

seyThe County Board allowed at
their June term $30S for assessing
revenue, and at July term 81 ,307 As,
making a total so far, without count
ing the Board of Review, of 81 ,615.-
45. And then comes tie State
Board, also, with its expense OF
SO 900 a year. 1t does seem that
ordinarily wise Legislators might de-
wise some better and cheaper sys-
tenn than the present, for raising
money for public expenses. The
State should derive all of its reve-
nue. from the fees paid to State offi-
GERS, tax on incomes exceeding
81 900, and tax on railroads and
corporations, doing business or
selling products in the State
leaving the counties to raise money
for local purposes on personal prop
erty and unimproved real estate, and
polls alone. This would do away
with the Boards of Review, as in
stead of townships irving to get
their assessments as low as posi-
BILE, they would want it to be fair,
or their rate of taxation for town
ship and county purposes would be
largely increased by the county
boards, and the townships given in
fairly would be lower. The test of
entirely separating the sources OF
revenue for State and local use, and
entirely exempting improvements
on real estate, would bring to light
a vast amount of now concealed per-
sonal property, and would enable
assessors to finish their work quick
er, thus largely decreasing the ex-
pense.

sayThe "Gibson section of land

BayThe "Gibson section of land
on the Briar field road to Hunting
burg was last week bought by A.
b. Mickey 4 Sons for considera-
ton of $50 per acre. 1t is very
heavily timbered, only about 40
acres of the $40 having had any
timber taken off, and this was per-
mitted simply to have a man to
watch it from being stolen. 1t was
entered about 1927, by Mr.. Gibson,
of Va. who was with hunting
party and took fancy to the land
and fine timber. 1t was then used
as a camping and fishing place by
the Indians who were yet numerous
in this section of the country. AL
though the price paid, $1.25 per
acre, amounted to only about $500
yet the $50 per acre now given by
Nickeywould not pay 6per cent. up
on the original investment, if the in
terest was compounded every seven
years. If Mickey had paid $l.25 per
acre for the land with 6 per cent. in
terest, compounded everyseven years
it would have cost him over $24 600.
1t was a good purchase for Mickey,
as the timber on it is worth proba
bly, double what he paid for the land,
and he will now put up mill near
it and convert it into lumber. 1t
will give employment to probably
80 men.
