subjects were: THE Propagation Of

thing on that subject we ever heard.
We enjoyed them very much. They
are subjects that ought to be better

BASEBALL.
A Ray of Hope in Press Disr atches
 from Memphis.

The baseball fans of Memphis, according to Associated Press dispatches, have un- dertaken to organize a baseball league composed of southern cities for the conn ing season. A movement was set on foot sometime ago to organize southern league, but the best that could be accom- plished at that time was to secure the agreement of four cities to take franchises. Memphis was asked at that time to join the league, but no one there felt enough interest in the matter to answer letters addressed to them.
 It is needless to say that if a southern league is formed Birmingham will be a member of it and will be represented by one elf the best teams that ever came south.

CHIEF CAMPBELL THREATENED
Police Officer of Phenix-City Receives % Anonymous Letter.

Columbus, Ga., March 19.-(Special.)- Phoenix City, in Lee county, Is somewhat excited over an anonymous letter received by Chief of Police Campbell from a negro. Campbell has been vigorous in his methods of suppressing disorder among the negroes. The other day when negro wench assault- ed him with battling stick he clubbed her severely. The letter says that the negroes will stand their mistreatment no longer. and that if it is not stopped the negroes will take their revenge on the officers and white people generally, under cover of the night, when they cannot be detected. It is not believed the threatening is endorsed by the better element of negroes.
