A Good Sign.

Dothan Siftings. We stood near a bank--off at safe
 distance-yesterday and watched the
 farmers who had just sold cotton come
 in and take up that little note,' till it was pleasure. They are foolish
 about paying debts under normal con-
 ditions, and as soon as their cotton
 is sold. they hunt the man they owe. Many will come out of debt before Sat urday night.

The election in Arkansas will be held September 5. State officers are 10 be chosen. Governor Davis is the Democratic nominee for Governor. and although there is intense hostility to him in his own party his election is assured by a handsome majority. In 1896 the Democratic plurality for Bry- an was 72,591. the largest on record in 1900 it was S6,342, which is about the normal figure. At the September election of 1902 the Democratic plural ity for Jeff Davis for Governor was 4s.- 103.

A PLEASANT OCCASION

At the recent Grand Army encamp- ment in Boston there was something of an innovation introduced when General Charles H. Taylor of The Boston Globe gave a dinner to some 250 invited guests, about equally divided between Union and Confederate survivors. Speeches and songs and toasts were introduced and the best of feeling pre- vailed. After the dinner the Confed- crate guests met and adopted resolu- lions expressing their appreciation of the courtesies extended them.
 As a general proposition We do not take much stock in these Blue and Gray conventions or reunions, but this affair was different from those usually held. It was an encampment of Union soldiers, and the dinner given by Gen eral Taylor was distinctly a social af- fair. As such 1t was participated in and enjoyed by veterans from both sides. and the occasion seems to have been a pleasant one all around. There was no occasion for discordant opin- Ions, or for the introduction of topics which would be disagreeable or un- pleasant. On such occasions the sur yivors of the two armies may meet in perfect amity and talk over the events of the stirring times when they were making history and illustrating the finest types of American manhood. Such meetings are productive of good. and General Taylor struck the right

TT STICKS TO IT

The newspapers pretty generally been disposed to guy The Atlanta Con stitution for asserting that there are no gambling houses in that city. We remarked some days ago that we thought Atlanta has, or claims to have, everything going, and The Chatta- nooga Times explains that The Consti- tuition simply means that the gamb- ling houses in that city do not have their banners on the outer walls, as 1t were" The Constitution takes it all in good part, and Is only the more pos itive in its claims, saying:
 There is not now, ana there has not been for any length of time during the past twenty years, d single place Wherc a man could indulge in roulette or faro or any kindred game. There Is not in this entire city gaming outht of that character. Once or twice since the ban was placed upon this sort of business there have been efforts to start things going on the quiet, but in each case the place was discovered within a week or so after it had start ed, the outfit destroyed by the police, the gamblers punished so severely as
 
 others who may have been looking in the same direction.
 It would be discourteous to dispute the positive assertions of our contem- porary, but If it is not deceived we can only say that Atlanta occupies a per fectly unique position among the cities of the country. One of the curses of all cities is the gambling houses which usually flourish in them. In some eases they exist through the conni- vance of the authorities and in others they flourish in spite of municipal sur veillance. but in some manner or other they are to be found. It may be, too, that in spite of The Constitutions pos itive belief the gambling fraternity find something doing, even in Atlanta. |. A large city with no gamblers in it is too good for this wicked world.

 The Portsmouth Star well says that among the chief difficulties we of the South encounter in dealing with negro criminals lis the attitude of indiffer- ence or of defense the negroes them selves assume towards the criminal. It is true. and it is one of the reasons why negro criminals so often escape legal punishment. and why they are sometimes punished without legal trial. The negroes themselves can do more to stop lynchings than the whites can.

BUT BLOCK AWAY
New Baseball Park VIII be Situated
on Tenth Street and Eight
eenth Avenue.
ELEVEN ACRES IN THE TRACT
That Has Been Purchased by Local
Business Men to Insure Home
for the National Game.

For amply sufficient reasons the
Rock Island Baseball association
had expressed the desire that in the
discussion of the plans OF the associa-
ton for next season. the exact site of
the new park should be withheld for
the time being. Owing to the fact
however, that an erroneous impression
has gained circulation regarding the
location, the association with the ac-
quiescence of all parties concerned has
decided 10 make public the facts. The
tract which has been purchased, as
heretofore referred 70, by local admir-
ers of the game for the use of the base
ball association embraces II acres. and
is situated between Ninth and Tenth
streets and Fourteenth and Eighteenth
avenues. The purchasers who have thus
assumed an outlay OF $4,000 for the
purpose are. H E. Casteel, NJ. II.

Rhodes and T. E. Veitch. For q con-
SideratiOn of five per cent on the in
vestment. these gentlemen have
agreed to turn over to the baseball as
sociation a strip of land 430 feet in
width by Geo feet in length, which
through public spirit and a liberal
disposition toward the association on
the part of Louis MOSCnfelder who
owns the adjoining land, is to be kept
intact so far as the opening Of Seven
teenth avenue and the ordinary alley
. ,1rC
capped this obligation, the local asso-
citation finds itself in a position to lay
out one of the most advantageously
situated ball parks in the country.
The grand stand will be located in the
southeast corner, the main entrance
| being at Tenth street and Eighteenth
avenue. the most convenient place il
the grounds, when accessibility 10 the
street cars is considered. The dia-
mond and Outfield will therefore lay to
the northwest, as was the case in the
up town grounds some years ago.
Block From Car Track.
While the grounds are not so close
to the tracks of the Tri-City Railway
company as the old park. they are as
near as baseball parks as a rule are
| to transportation facilities, being less
| than the distance of an average block,
distant. and the Tri-City Railway com
pany is so well pleased with the site
that General Manager Lardner has
| made a handsome contribution to the
| fund in which citizens generally are
Joining so heartily for the putting of
the park in the best shape possible
| for the uses for which the land was
| secured.
