Cotton Picking and Baseball.

Cotton pickers are scarce, notwith-
standing short crops. Owing to the
rapid opening of the staple, caused by
the extreme weather, the season will
be short and what is picked must be
picked quickly. Meantime, Sambo is
at work on many public improvements
that pay him well, or at play on the
diamond. In fact, baseball has be-
come mania among the negroes, es-
pecially in the delta, and farmers are
anxious to have the games stopped.
1t is suggested that general law be
passed, prohibiting the game from the
first of September to January first each
year, and this measure promises to be
a subject for discussion during the
next session of the legislature. 1t is
an odd one; but while it is up for law
enactment, we move that the time be
extended to cover the scholastic term
from September to June This will
tend to encourage both cotton picking
and the mental prowess of the stu
dents in our institutions of learning.

Base Ball by the Fats and the Lean,

AS announced in these columns last
week, an amateur base ball club, COM
posed of the ''gross and gaunt" citizens
of the town, was duly organized for the
aVowed purpose of raising funds to put
In an electrical fire alarm for this city.
At the appointed hour, which was
heralded by our excellent brass band,
large crowds repaired to Storms Park,
where some of our best, most honored
and sedate citizens were found to be
arrayed in ball costume and fully up
to the spirit of mirth and gaiety that
pervaded the atmosphere. J. w. Mo.
Grath, head boss of John McGrath &
Sons, in brilliant, candy striped suit,
stood umpire, while F. B. Noodle, of
the Novelty Store and Domestic Sew
ing Machine fame, was the pitcher
from among the Leans" The game
went merrilY, on between the tumbles
eff the Fats and the nimble maneuvers
of the Leans, until just as the score
stood seven to nine in favor of the lat
ter, Mr.. Noodle in pitching with
strength too great for his powers of
resistance, broke his right arm above
the elbow. The "Rest-for-the- W cary"
stretcher which had been sportively
prepared for the occasion and had
just been used in fun, and the 'arnica,"
"antiseptic, "plasters," conspiculously
labeled on capacious boxes, were now
solemnly in demand, although it took
some moments to convince the crowd
of the seriousness of the accident.
Soon the merry makers dispersed with
subdued countenances, while sympa-
thy went out for the victim of the un-
fortunate accident. The sum of S51
was realized for the object mentioned,
which was "victory" for both sides.

better exhibit than was ever made at
any of our county fairs years ago. The
occasion was one to stimulate competi-
tion and inspire emulation; and many,
there and then, decided on exhibits
they would make "next time" and
others who failed to place their stock
on the grounds deeply regretted their
sin of omission and resolved to come
to the forefront at the next opportu-
nifty.
This, then, is the finale of Educa-
tional Week, Farmers Institute and
Stock Show combination which was
strong enough to call out the strenu-
GUS energies and the interest of our
people in the midst of this willing,
withering season. The LEADER is cor
daily in favor of renewing effort
along the line so ably mapped out and
successfully pursued by our county
superintendent of education, and
would be pleased to see the event re-
peated annually with all the aggrand-
izement and augmentation that time
and experience can bring.

Music, of course, was notable at
traction. The vocal music by the
Ladies' Quartette, the Aria Quartette,
the Franklin Quartette; by that ex-
quisite singer, Mrs. Ida Reiman Kaiser,
of New Orleans, by George Tierney, of
the Crescent City, the catchy charac-
ter song by Miss Sara Storm, together
with piano solos by Miss Esther Prize
batsch, Miss Susie Becker and little
Beulah Ramsey and, above all,
Penn's Unique Band, could not be ex-
celled in any town in the state for
combined excellence. Penn's Band is
due especial thanks for it's faithful
service. Each evening promptly at 8
o'clock, when its inspiring notes rang
out from the brilliantly illuminated
College campus, throngs were drawn
hither, irresistibly impelled by the
wonderful influence of its concord of
sweet sounds; and "Orpheus himself
might hang his Tyre upon the willows
after this"
In elocution Miss Elizabeth Purser
appeared a second time by special in
vitation, and Miss Virginia Marshall
and our talented young friend, Abye
Cohn, added greatly to the interest of
programs given. Misses Mamie Hos
kins and Sherman McNair, from among
Brookhaven students, also gave evil
dence of histrionic gifts. The crown
ing glory of the entire week, however,
were inimitable evenings given by
Prof. Booth Lowrey, of Blue Mountain
College, together with his lectures to
the Institute on Physical Development.
Nearly all of his readings were origi-

The president of Whitworth College,

before fine audience on Sunday night
that stands unexcelled by any ever

collection amounting to $4,000 was
taken for the improvement of the
college property.
On Monday the Farmers Institute
was we'll attended by large numbers of
our progressive and thrifty farmers,
who listened with pleasure and, doubt
less, benefit to the magnificent address
by Prof. j. G. Hardy, president of the
A. & M. College, who strongly COM
mended and plead for the extension
of industrial education, for broaden
ing of manufacturing interests and
for industrial independence. Profs.
w. c. Welborn and J. w. Fox, of the
A. & M. College, and E. B. Ferris,
director of the experiment station at
Mcneil, conducted the Farmers In
stitute. Prof. H. L. Whitfield, state
superintendent of education, with
whom Prof. Hardy has been working
conjointly all summer, the two having
travelled many hundreds of miles where
railroads have and have not penetrated,
made an address on yesterday, which
widened and strengthened many souls
who have in view the exaltation of
their kind.
The Stock Show yesterday was IAN

vicinity. At 1:30 p. m. procession
