E. 7. Peter, the Sc ma baseball mana
ger gave out the following interview in
reference to the organization of base
ball league composed of the small cities
in this section, cities that are not large
enough to support a team along with
the larger cities of the country. Said
he:
"Cities with no larger population than
Selma and Meridian are npt able to sup
port teams in the Southern League. but
there Is no reason why these cities should
not be members of league which would
have a small salary limit and would yet
furnish first-class amusement.
II would like to organize league with
Selma, Mobile, Meridian. Columbus. Miss,
Ensley, Ala, and Pensacola or some other
city in the circuit Each of these towns
Is fully able to support a good team and
they are within easy distance of each
other. There are no long jumps, and
this fact would materially lessen the ex-
penses of the teams. And each of the
towns ! have mentioned Is known as a
good baseball town.
"A small league would not only make
money. but 1t would afford good sport for
lovers of baseball The Cotton States
League, for instance. was composed Of
only four teams, and the salary limit was
low. but the league was financial sue
cess, ana gave SOME OF lno DcSt CAhl-
billions of baseball ever seen in the South
think that with six teams we could
have even a better league.
81 regard such a league as have des-
cribed as a certainty. and feel sure that
Selma will he represented. There VIII
be no trouble about placing two or three
other franchises In Alabama Columbus,
Miss, is very apt to come in. and II we
can get Meridian to follow we shall have
an almost ideal circuit
81 would like to take the matter up
with the Meridian people, and hope that
the plan Of having the city represented In
the league will meet with encourage
ment."
Mr.. Peter was manager of the Atlanta
Southern League team last season. and
previously was manager of the Selma
team for several years. He has had
much experience in the management Of
baseball teams, and is regarded as fully
competent to organize league. If he
takes the matter in hand he will doubt
less make a success of it.

To Practice Here.

Tom Lotus. manager of the Washing
ton baseball team, who was here in 1900
with one of the Chicago teams, fell so
completely in love with Selma that he
wants to come in the spring with his ag-
gregation of Capital City baseball talent.
In conversation with Alb Powell, manager
of the New Orleans baseball team, he said
that he was going to come to Selma. Mr..
LOTUS made a great many friends when
he was here with his Chicago baseball
team and there is not a man in Selma
who met him, but who will be glad to
see him come back, Selma has a great
reputation as a winter resort for fine
horses and if eight or ten baseball teams
from northern cities would come here to
practice in the spring and the latter part
of the winter 1t would be a great thing

DEATH OF LORENZO BRYAN.
For Many Years He Was an Honored
Citizen of Pike


Troy. Oct. 24-(soecial. )-Lorenzo Bry-
an, one of the oldest and be-. citizens Of
this county died Wednesday at his home.
eight or nine miles south of this city.
Mr.. Bryan was reared in Sumpter Dis
trict, s. c., and removed to this county
about 1916. where he has resided c0n-
tinuously since that date. Each sue
ceeding year of his long citizenship adj
ded another page to the history of his
model life. No man in the county was
more highly respected for his patriotic
citizenship and manly virtues than was
Mr.. Bryan. He had reached the age OF
about 81 years, and perhaps has the
largest family connection of any man In
the county,
He was buried yesterday in the Spring
Hill cemetery, eight miles south OF the
city. Several prominent Masons from
this city attended his funeral to take part
in the burial ceremonies.
Miss Minnie Baker, who for several
years resided in this city, but who had
moved to Montgomery with her brother
and sister, died in Elba yesterday morn
ing and was brought to the city last
night. She was buried by the side Of
her mother in the family burying ground
today. Two or three years ago, Miss Min
ME was apparently a picture of health
and beauty, just blooming into young
womanhood. Her health became impair
ed, constantly grew worse. until 1t was
discovered that she had contracted con-
sumption. She was visiting Mrs. Waugh
an, her sister. at Elba with the hope OF
improving her health. but she steadily
grew worse until death came.
D. w. McIver, staff correspondent OF
The Advertiser is in the city, and will
doubtless give it an excellent write-up.
Troy is one of the most progressive cities
in Southeast Alabama. and many OF our
most enterprising men and establish-
ments cannot afford to let other places
get ahead of them in making their pro-
gress and facilities known through the
columns of The Advertiser.

procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Gun
ningham's drug store in Champaign,

tiously | made a public statement OF
the results. l told how Doan's Kidney
Pills relieved me Of kidney trouble, dis
posed Of my lame back and the pains
across my loins, beneath the shoulder
blades, etc. During the interval which
has elapsed l have had OCCASION at times
to resort to Doan's Kidney Pills when
[ noticed warnings of another attack,
and on each and every occasion the re-
suit obtained was just as satisfactory
as when the pills were first brought to

BAZAINE AND AN Of"
De Gallifet Tells How He May Havs
Cost France a Fortress,

New York Sun: General de Gallifet,
always a picturesque sort of person,
is publishing his memoirs in Paris.
Among other things, he tells why Ba-
zaine was able to betray France in the
war with Germany in 1901. 1t Is
another Illustration of the possible con-
sequences Of small incidents.
The thing happened during Napo-
leon Ills attempt to make Macmillan
emperor OF Mexico. General de CALI
fet was about 10 return to Mexico. Ma
poleon sent for him.
Il am dissatisfied with Marshal Ba-
zaine's conduct" the emperor said. II
have sent an officer in whom l have full
confidence, General Castelnau. You
Will see him. He will inform you Of
the current Of affairs, and should he
fall i'll he will Confide to you what your
RAM Will permit you to do"
Some time after his arrival in Mexico
he received from General Castelnau a
letter, saying:
You know my mission, my lear
friend. You are acquainted with my
powers. l have hesitated a long time,
bat there has been so much dupliCity
in the political conduct Of the marshal
that ! am almost decided to act-to re-
move him from his command, to send
him without delay to France where he
may justify his conduct.
II have in my possession n letter Civ
ing the command to General Douay.
But l do not wish to act preCipitately
l have confidence in your Judgment.
Give me your opinion on the subject"
General de Gallifet replied as fol-
lows:
mo, my general, no. 1t would be a
very heavy blow to the office of mar
shall. Marshal BaZaine has only a few
months more of power before him. 1t
is he who Will manage our retreat,
which events may render difficult. DO
not forget that he possesses the full
confidence of the army. In spite of his
merits, General Douay's fitness for the
post is not equally indisputable."
General Castelnau took no action
toward relieving Bazaine of his COM
mand. General de Gallifet recognized
his mistake later, Relieved OF his COM
mand and brought before a courtmar-
tial, Bazaine would have lost all chance
thereafter of holding as important
command, and General de Gallifet
adds: Perhaps we would not have
lost Metz"
