his listener himself became almost
convinced of the soundness of his logic.
The speaker pointed out that team
which could be close TO the top mt all
seasons of the year, but just miss win

all the money. lie said that winning
the championship too often would kill
the interest in any town. Then he got
over his head. as such orators always
will II you only give them long rope.
He started in to demonstrate his line
of argument and pointed to Baltimore,
New York. Boston. Chicago, Detroit,
st. Louis and Brooklyn to bear him
out. He was a good talkcr. but failed
ingloriously. Detroit Is good ball
town now. and so would Baltimore be,
with a good team. Brooklyn made
barrel of money when winning It's
early pennants. and Will make plenty
more with n slight change Of methods.
Providence Is good ball town con.

York will enthuse again even with
team finishing In the first division.
Boston and Chicago would welcome
the ppnnant today with the same en-
thusasm the citizens did ten years ago.
Don't let anybody tell you that win

the only profitable thing In any line of
honest sport.

Der of the New York team many years
ago, Ewing also thought that he would

the country ever saw was sold to
Brooklyn for the ridiculous price of
$500. Ewing did not like a left handed
fielder. That was the fault he found
with Krelpr. Hickman has won his

Davis was forced from third New York

TWO GREAT ATHLETES
Great Success of Long and
Tewksbury In England.
HAVE WON ALMOST EVERYTHING.

These Two Men Have Competed at
Many Athletic Games Since This
Summer and Rave Won Many
Prizes ana Made New Records.
Maxwell W. Long, the quarter-mlle
champion. has scored so many wins on
the English cnder paths since the in
ternatlonal meeting at Paris that his
success now rivals that achieved by
the late l.. Il. Myers, who In several
seasons almost swept the board Of
prizes in middle distance races on the
other side. From 100 yards to a quar-
ter Of a mile the New York A. G. man
appears to be invinclble, and by win.

Athens to Have Big Cotton Mill

Athens, February S.-(Special.) )-The in- cations are now that Athens is to have a hundred thousand dollar cotton mill. Men of large means are back of the movement, and they declare that the necessary money with which to secure the mill will be raised. Parties from the east have signi- fled their willingness to subscribe $9O 900 of the amount if the other ten thousand with certain concessions from the town in the way of taxes and water are made, and these the board is more than willing to bestow if the amount of money is raised. With a fiouring mill going up and a cotton factory in sight, Athens begins to feel that the march of progress has struck this part of the world.

wHEELER's THoUGHTFULNEss
Called on Private Who Had Come From
 Alabama

Athens, February S.-(Special )-Some monlths ago a number of young men from this county enlisted in the Forty-fourth regiment at Decatur and have gone to the front to fight in the Philippines.
 General Wheeler, on his way home, saw the boys when they reached Manila, and he called on them on their transport and had an interview with them and secured the name and residence of each young man, and has written to their parents in this county, telling of the well-being of their sons. This is another of the many thoughtful things that this little hero of the Eighth district has done to endear him to the hearts of his people.
 Who else with the uniform of a brigadier would have cared to call and talk with the pr!vates and ask after them personally, and see that they wanted for nothing in the far away islands of the seas? He had a kind word for each of the boys from his district, and when they went on their way he set to and wrote each impatient pa- rent in this district how his son was doing and told of his visit to them as they passed Manila. They all thank him for it and 1t is another. clincher in his deed to the seat from this district

CLARK'S MANAGERS
 GIVE TESTIMONY Witness Said Legitimate Expen- ses Were Not Over $100,0OO. GOVERNOR HAUSER TALKS He Says Campaigns in Montana Are Altogether Different From Those
 in the East--He Persuaded
 Clark to Run
GOVERNOR HAUSER TALKS

Washington, February S.-Senator Clark's managers occupied the witness stand throughout the day in the hearing before the senate elections committee. MT. B:ck- tord concluded his testimony, and he was followed in succession by Frank E. Cor ibett, MT. Clark's principal counsel in Mon tana; ex-Governor S. T. Hauser. MT. A. J. Davidson and A. J. Steele. Messrs. DaT- ddson and Steele were Identified wiI-h MT. Clark's campaign, Mir. Davidson being one of a committee of three having the matter especially in charge. He said he had spent SIP 900 in the legislature campaign and s. GOO in trying to influence the legislators for Mr Clark
 He had paid most of the money to the chairmen of the county commissioners of the counties in his district.
 Governor Hauser's testimony related mostly to the use of money in Montana politics. He claimed to have been instru- mental .in getting Mir Clark to enter the senatorial race. saying MT. Clark mad been loata t0 do so because of the expense.
 MT Hauser had assured him that .ne primaries would not cost to exceed sSO,00O or $io,0O0, and aEter the campaign for the senate the cost would not go beyond $50,O00 or S60,0OO This amount he thought would cover all legitimate expenses. Mr Hau- said that the idea of legitimate ex-' penses in a campaign in Montana was very different from it was in the eastern states.
 MT. Corbett testified to conversation he had with Marcus Daily just prior to the meeting of the Montana legislature. MT. Daily then said, according to the witness: "l want to say to you now that If Clark SHOWS nus head in the senatorial race, If he is even nomina ted for the senGGe, you fellows will hear something drop that w.ll drive Clark and his friends out of politics and some eli them to the penitentary"
 MT. Steele testified to active participa tion in the senatorial campaign W1icn resuJ. ed in MT. Cdark's election.

Carter Still on Governors Island

New York, February S.-Former Captain Oberlln M. Carter, U. s. A., who is now in Castle William, the military prison on Governors Island, will remain taere until the United States supreme court decides what action it will take on i;lhe application for a writ of certiorari in the prisoners De- half. Carter asks the higher court to re- view the decision of the United States court of appeals affirming Judge Lacombe's action dismtssng the habeas corpus which was sworn out after his conviction by courtma rtial.
 The United States court of appeals as a matter of courtesy to the supreme court of tfie United States, in decision handed down today, stayed the issuance of the mandate until the application for a writ of certtorari is decided.
 This prevents Carter's removal to the military prison at Fort Leavenworth.

MECHANIC KILLED
Was Run Over By an Engine in the
 Western Yards

Montgomery, February S.-(Special)- Daniel Boyle, mechanic in the employ of the Western of Alabama railway, was run over by an engine in the Western freight yards in this city this morning and in stantly' killed.
 Boyle had been summoned from his home at l o'clock this morning to go to the shops fer the purpose of making some hurried repairs on machinery, and, completing his work about o'clock, he was returning home through the freight yard Just as he attempted to cross a track, and coming from behind some freight cars, engine No. 36, which was backing up to the Union station to pull out the Atlanta train, struck Boyle, the big wheels passing across his body, horribly crushing him. The en- gneer heard no sound but he felt ar and slowing down, he left his cab to find on the track behind him the remains of the dead man.
 The coronor held inquest over the body later in the morning, and exhonorated the railroad from the responsibility of the death, as the engineer was ringing his bell when the accident occurred.
