An interesting game of base ball was
played on the North Woodbury. grounds
last Saturday. between the North Wood
bury A. A. and the Vansant A. A. Very
few errors were made on either side. The
game was tie until the eighth inning, l to
l when the home team scored another run
making the score 2 to |.
The Omissions arrived late at the Country
Club but this did not stop the home team
from defeating the visitors. The Ormiston
made fine showing when they came on
the field, but in the game they were out
classed. Griffenberg pitched a good game.
The score at the end of nine innings was
IA to 2 in favor of the home team.
The Country Club will play the Hermon

Base Ball.

Last Saturday afternoon the west Phlia-
delphia Club came to Westville to try con-
illusions with the home team. The visitors
were as fine looking set Of athletes as any
amateur team in the country. They are
the same boys who "walloped" the WOOD
bury Country Club last week.
The game commenced about 4.!5, and at
the close of the fourth inning each team had
scored two runs The home team was a
patched up affair, and four of their new
men were unavoidably absent In the NTH
inning the visitors scored four runs and the
home team but one, which placed them
1.-THE visitors) three runs ahead. In the
sixth inning the visitors scored four more
runs. all ON account of the loose playing
and errors on the part OF the Westyllie
bows. During the progress OF the lnning
when the home team were at the bat, the
nitcher for the West Philadelphia, who had
began to show signs of weakening, made a
fine DISPLAY of himself A man was on
second base, and the rooters were chatting
the pitcher, when he wheeled round and
made motion to throw the man out on
9. cond. and quick as flash delivered ball
20 the batter. 1t was fair balk, and the
umpire, Charlie Banks), as fair man as
ever umpired game, decided against the
pitcher, and very properly advanced the
runner to third. Some of ths visitors
clicked, y and a lively little row was the
result, and the pitcher took off his uniform
and refused to play. majority OF his
own men were against him and wanted to
play the game to finish, but he wouldn't
listen to them, and took his men off the
field. It was piece of baby work, and
they had every Chance of winning, and
doubtless by this time he is ashamed Of his
action. He is a good pitcher, and had a
team that gave him splendid support. 1t
is to be hoped that he will Simmer down.
and bring his men down again before the
season is over, for they are good set OF

REFERRING last week to the new
enterprise about to be inaugurated
by number of our progressive
farmers, we are sorry to say that
we misquoted some of these gen
tlemen. 1t is their purpose to
undertake on as large a scale as
possible the culture of tomatoes,
and instead of limiting the acreage
to enter into the industry with all
the available land and capital
which can be conveniently devoted
to that purpose. Hence it is de-
sired to interest every farmer and
land owner in this immediate Sec
ton in order to make Union CITY
an accessible and profitable ship
ping point. In favorable seasons
the industry is SAID to be a very
profitable one, and it is known
that there are very few crop fail
ures in Obion County. If the
people around Humboldt can real
ize large revenues from tomato
growing, why can't the citizens of
Obion, second to no county in the
State in agriculture, profit as much
or more? Any and every indus
try of a nature of this kind is to
be encouraged, and we would like
to see the farmers of this county
secure the most profitable and lu-
crative investments on their lands.

HUNcLEAN, SAYS WATTERsoN;

their scandals. not their beneficial

"The story got out and, charac-
teristically, Mr.. Cleveland, having
had the usufruct OF the money, re-
pudiated the deal. This is the
same Van Allen whose daughter de-
fed his wishes and married the
man of her own selection a few
weeks ago.
"Now comes the Remington sui

sumes the editorial mount in a

THE LEGISLATIVE FIGHT.
Anti-Saloon People Are Active All
Through the State.

AuIOuSu Uue 0UdG6.
There is more in the legislative
fight this fall throughout Tennes-
see than even the prophets have
dreamed. There will be more do
ing IN Nashville next January than
in many previous sessions.
The factions are already active,
and by the time nominations are to
be made the fur will fly.
The anti-liquor forces have or
ganized throughout the State, and
are preparing to make a fight in
the counties. The struggle will
extend to West Tennessee, and
John Barleycorn must either make
winning run or take to tall tim
Der. For instance, up in Upton
the anti-liquor forces, combining
with certain independent elements,
are out after the scalps of regular
Democratic nominees. In other
counties the anti-liquor men will
try to have Democratic candidates
committed to their views, that cold
water has champagne and beer beat
a city block.
Out in Upton they are terribly in
earnest, and the enthusiasm may
run over into Shelby.
1t will not be surprising if there
is fight in Shelby. The commit
tee now at work seeking a ticket is
having trouble in completing it.
The ticket as so far announced is
composed of some good material
and some that is indifferent How
ever, the personal honesty OF those
suggested is beyond question. The
singular fact is that while the men
seeking to secure a good ticket do
not care about putting up men who
are rabidly opposed to the city adj
ministration or heels over head in
love with it, those who are sug-
gested or who have partially con-
scented to run see nothing good in
the crowd that at present is run
ming the city of Memphis.
This in itself may cause the
friends of the administration to put
out strong ticket. One thing is
sure-it the first ticket in the field
is good one, it can be beaten only
by better one, and out of the agi-
tation the public may be able to Sc
lect better legislative material at
the polls than has hitherto repre-
scented Shelby County. A bad tick
ct with a fair count will have a
stormy passage.
But in the meantime the anti
liquor forces see in the event of a
bad Democratic ticket chance for
a win. The Republicans, so the
story runs, are willing to combine
with any opposition, The old-time
Observation-Disclosures who have gone
to the slaughter so often-are
used to it and are ready to take
hand.
This three headed combination,
with brains and money, might be
able to do turn and make a win
ming.
The old delegation IS not done
Tor several are avowed candidates.
Editor Borum, of Collierville, for
instance, thinks that he is now
timber-free from sap and
wood worms. J. w. Durham be-
ieves that he is as good now as he
was two years ago. Judge Norf1eet
was member four years ago, and
after his week as jurist may, con-
;lude to try for Senatorial honors.
W. B. Eldridge was in the Senate
.wo years ago and likes the work.
There are others.
One thing IS certain. If high
lass men, above cliques and fac
ions, agree to stand for the nomi-
lation they will have easy sailing.

ROYAL ENTRY
Berlin Gayly Decorated With Masts
and Evergreens.

Berlin, August 28,- Gilded masts
surrounded by evergreen crowns
were set up along Inter Den-Lin-
den in preparation for the entry
into Berlin of King Victor Emman-
uel, of Italy, yesterday. The I'm
ter-Den-Linden1s bordered through
out its length by large rows of pot
ted greenery. The programme for
the kings entertainment, which in
cludes receptions, state dinners and
gala performance at the opera,
ends on Saturday with the great
fall parade OF troops on the Tenn
pelhof field
The object of King Victor En-
manuel's visit, as explained at the
Italian embassy, is that the young
king is simply making his first call
since his accession, upon his friend,
the emperor; that such was the
only purpose of his visit to Russia,
and that it is quite probable that
the king will visit France next
year. Austria is not likely to be
visited by King Victor Emmanuel
for the reason that Emperor Fran
els Joseph never returned the late
King Humbert's visit to Vienna
because he wished to avoid offend
ing the vatican by seeing King
Humbert in Rome.

PASSING OF BELLE MEADE
Thoroughbreds in Which Rich d
Croker Was Interested.

The Belle Meade thoroughbredS
in which at one time Richard Gro
ker was interested, will be sold al
public auction on October p and %
and Gen. w. H. Jackson will retire
from breeding horses. The decl
sion on the part of Gen. Jackson tc
retire from active life deprives the
American turf at once of the best
known breeders and one OF the most
celebrated stock farms on earth.
Gen. Jackson's reason for giving
up the life he loves so we'll are his
old age and continued i'll health.
For thirty years, says the Nashville
Banner, he has stood in the fore
front of American breeders, and
the get of his stables has won for
tunes on both sides of the Atlantic.
Gen. Jackson has given the world
a string of racers which will live in
fame when the present generation
has died and been forgotten. No
Tennessean will receive the tidings
that the great stock farm is to
be discontinued and the scions of
its fame scattered to the four winds
without feeling of sorrow that in
% l., A.
has become necessary. Belle Meade
has been a source of pride to all
loyal citizens of the State.
Distinguished visitors are carried
to the farm that they may see the
plantation life of the South in its
most unblemished phase, its master
a gentleman of the old school, who
entertalns with a lavish hand, and
it's stables stocked with runners
which are known to men who are
not aware that Nashville is on the
map.
John Harding, one of Tennessee's
pioneers, was the original founder
of Belle Meade, settling there in
1903, and making his home in log
cabin, now occupied by "Uncle
Bob, -" the famous old negro servant
of the family. Gen. VIM G. Hard
ing was born in 1903, and his daugh-
ter became the wife OF Gen. Jack
son. Gen. Jackson undertook the
management of the estate shortly
after the civil war, and has since
been in continuous control.
The famous race horses of the
Belle Meade stables date back to
1880. when Priam won the English
derby. Then followed Vanda1,
Jack Malone, Sir Richard, High
lander, John Morgan, imp, Great
Tom, fremont, and Iroquois. They
are names which are recounted in
the paddock and sent a thrill of
emulation to the heart of all lovers
of the thoroughbred.
In the present generation the
prestige of the breeding establish
ment was given new lustre by the
performance of Proctor Knott,

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

The echoes Of the unsavory Phil
ippine transport scandal have
hardly died away, but another il
ready to take it, place. This time
it concerns the lighter system al
Manila. AS may be known, it is
necessary to transfer goods for
Manila to lighters, which in turn
land them at the wharfs and ware
houses. These lighters are en-
ployed by the quartermaster in
charge and are paid at n given
rate per trip, the rate being based
on their tonnage capacity. When
the situation first became known
the officials of the Treasury De-
partment demanded that register
be furnished them showing the
names, speed and capacity of the
lighters. Since then the Treasury
officials have apparently paid no
attention to the disbursements
made for Tightening purposes by
the army quartermasters and no
more than was necessary was re-
vealed by the War Department.
Recently, however, the Treasury
Department, avaiing itself of the
figures already furnished it and
the reports of the quartermasters
as filed monthly with the Auditor
for the War Department, has been
making some comparisons which
have proved the old adage that
Comparisons are odious." The
paid out for freight far
exceed the capacity Of the lighters,
tonnage and speed taken into con
sideration, and the Auditor has
demanded an explanation of the
discrepancy. Secretary Root is in
Europe in blissful ignorance of the
of the Auditor, and
until he returns it is not probable
that any of his subordinates will
lare to make a statement, but, in
.he meantime, a secret investiga-
ion Will be made and possibly a
will be selected.

VERY NEAT.

In speech at a country picnic
in New York State, David Bennett
Hill uses the exclamation, 81 wish
to God the Dutch farmers haC
won." This was very likely ar
ranged for the occasion to catcf
the ears of the great body of Dem
ocrats, but what sort of diet will
it make for a certain class of Dem
ocrats who have lost no opportu-
nity to smother the sentiment.
These are the same fellows who
have been clamoring for Hill as
the leading Democratic Presiden-
tiaI candidate. They are also the
men who, doubtless, know where
the campaign fund may be OBJ
tanned. If this expression which
may strike some in the way OF
surprise came in the nature of an
honest impulse HIPS name might
be quietly abandoned by those of
whom we speak. Hill's ambition,
however, is like a british monster
dragon, which swallows every good
motive and honest purpose that
falls in its wake. That war is over
and Hill knows he can lose nothing
by turning a shrewd trick. He
also knows that his friends under
stand the game. We have abso-
lutely no confidence in the mans
honesty when ii is tried in q suit
against his ambition. The fact is
his candidacy would be a distinc-
ton between Democracy and Re
publicanism, involving nothing
more nor less than who may hold
the Office or the reins of govern
ment. Everything would be OBJ
scured, of course, in campaign
of tariff reform and war on trusts.
The Republican party with Roose-
welt as leader, would preach reci-
procity, which means tariff reform,
and war on trusts. Both would be
hollow and insincere and
each would secure a campaign fund
about equal in value coming from
the trust barons themselves. Who
loves the gain Of office more than
the principle 1icgovernment, and
who would pcutitice the lnstitu-
tons of paraA nd sovereignty of
the people VNc greek of trusts?
