BASE BALL LEAGUE.
Strong. Effort Being Made to
Form One.

Great interest in base ball is pre-
valent this year, and an effort Is
being made By J. B. Rust manager
of the Tracy City club, to organize
a league composed of the following
clubs; Cowan, Monteagle, Tracy
Jasper seqoachee and Whitwell.
Good cubs can be organized at
all of the towns named except at
Seouachee where there very little
material. Either Cedar Spring,
Dunlap or South Plttsburg could
fill this vacancy, however. Strong
teams can be raised at any OF those
places,
Whitwell this year can put out a
team that will make close race
for the pennant, which we suppose
will be awarded to the winning
team, and Jasper as usual can
present a strong team.
1t is to be hoped that the League
can be formed. Clubs wishing to
join should correspond with j. b.
Rust, Tracy City, Tenn, who Is
the promoter of the enterprise.

The educated will understand you any
way. II you aim too high your ideas
will go over the heads of the masses
and only hit those who need no hit
ting" Just like Lincoln's brother law
yer d has aimed too high but we will
try to persuade him to come down. We
are more than pleased to note that our
friend endorses our position on high
tariff, but was surprised he did not
call up his little dog Free Silver" but
come to think Of it the little fellow has
wandered off and died We had some
of that 16 to l money in the days of jeff
Davis, and everybody knows that bed
tick full of dry goods could be bought
with it for 1Oc.
Now little talk on protection and
the tariff will conclude the services. j.
ID. surely knows il this country had
free trade and no duty on imported
goods that British manufacturers would
flood this country: with cheap goods.
Consequently our manufactures would
be forced to shut down and thousands
of men would be forced out of employ
ment. A protective tariff is necessi-
ty, for If duty is paid on imported
goods they will then equal ours in
price, and can't interfere so much with
our manufactures, So any one can see
at a glance that when our manufactur-
ers have protection the laboring man
has it and plenty of work at good wages.
Under the blessings of sound money and
protection the Dingley tariff has given
more work, and more wages to more
men than any other act of Legislation
known to history. The workers earn
ing their wages under that protection
have lived better than ever before in
their lives, and during the fiscal year
put into the savings banks S7oO, 900, OO(
than were deposited in 1896, when Nc
Kinley was elected. Official statisticl
show that upward of 25 per cent more
persons were employed under the Ding
ley tariff than under the Wilson tariff
and each of them is better paid thar
the corresponding wage Garner under
the j. d. regime. Such are facts and
the question occurs what change does
j. d. propose to make? We would be
pleased to know how many stars he ha:
added to the nations crown, and wha
he ever did for the laboring man, an(
and what national pledge he has re
deemed
We are truly sorry to inform ]. D
that we know nothing of South Carroll
ma Yellow Jackets, but there is nes
of Tennessee yellow jackets in the per
son of st. John that will sting all tn
dregs of that free soup. out of him. J
D. would be power in the political
feld-it we could only induce him t
repent, believe, and be baptized h'
would then be saved,
Now let us sing song and we viii
make way for penitents. 1t may b.
that j. D. can get the proper consent o
his mind to come to the anxious sea-
Let every body sing, "Oh turn, j. d
turn: may the Lord help you turn. Wh
do you desire to wear a tin rooster o

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.

Cough Remedy.

"When had an attack of the grip

cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
w. Perry Editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, n. Y. This is the honest
truth. at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon
full Of this remedy, and when the cough
ing spell would come on at night ]
would take dose and it seemed that in
the briefcst interval the cough would
of and l would go to sleep perfectly
free from cough and its accompanying
pains. To say that tho remedy acted as
a most agreeable surprise is putting II
very mildly. ! had no idea that IL
could or would knock out the grip simp-
ly because had never tried it for such
a purpose, but IL did, and it seemed with
the second attack OF coughing the rene

ration, but the pains we're far less Sc
we're, and had not used the contents OF
one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid me

RIVAL POOL ROOM.
Establishment to Compete With st.
Asaph's Ready to Open.

The District of Columbia is to have a
rival establishment to the pool room at
st. Asaph's, in Alexandria county, Va.
Major Sylvester has been advised Of the
proposed scheme which is to initiate the
betting as 1t is permitted on the race track
at Benning, and he may cause arrests to
be made. Lieut.. Swindells and Precinct
Detective Burrows Of Georgetown and De-
tective Watson, who has charge Of cases
involving alleged violations of the gambling
law, inspected the site of the proposed pool
room Sunday
According to the information furnished
the police. the new resort is to open to-
morrow afternoon. 1t Is to be conducted
near the District line between Georgetown
and Cabin John Bridge. A structure sixty
feet long and about twenty-five feet wide
has been contracted on the Maryland side
of the line. This is to accommodate the
patrons Of the place and shelter the i'm
mense blackboards upon which will appear
the names Of the horses and the odds that
are offered. Those who are to accept the
money wager on the races, it Is said, will
hold the usual small blackboard or card
in their hands and will stand on the Dis
trict side Of the line.
Maj. Sylvester will have officers on the
ground under Instructions and arrests may
be made in case the bets are accepted on
this side of the boundary. The new Struc-
ture. the police say Is about fifteen inches
across the line. 1t Is said the promoters Of
the business at St. Asaph's, where the
gambling business is conducted without any
attempt at concealment, are very much in
terested in the outcome of tomorrow's pro-
eeedings, as the opening Of rival sporting
resort would mean a large decrease in the
profits Of their establishment. The men
who are behind the new enterprise claim
they will not violate the law. Bond will be
given in case arrests are made and the
question will have to be settled in court.
It is said that no liquor is to be sold upon
the premises. The sale of intoxicants in
the new structure would be in violation OF
the local option law of Montgomery county.
