An Exodus of Negroes.

Statesboro. Ga, Aug. 19.-Beyond
the whipping Of number of negroes
In this county and one at Claxton. %
miles from here, nothing developed
yesterday In the situation in this part
of Georgia. The exodus OF negroes
continues and already has threatened
a shortage in the labor supply in the
cotton fields, where the picking is
soon to commence. Exaggerated re-
ports have been sent from here since
the burning of the two negroes on
Tuesday. These reports have created
the impression that life is unsafe and
property threatened. The contrary is
true, for the lesson of Tuesday made q
profound impression on the negroes.

RAsCALs IN CONNECTICUT

Made Big Money by Illegal Operations
An Arrest In Connection with the
Case Has Been Made In New York
City.
New York, Aug. 1S.-When Habar ].
Ajax, a wealthy Syrian merchant of
Hayti, was arrested yesterday in con-
nection with the alleged naturalization
frauds upon which the United States
officials in this city have been at work
some time, it was announced that a
widespread traffic in fraudulent nat
uralization papers issued by the courts
Of Connecticut had been brought to
light. Hundreds of citizens of the lit
tie republic of Hayti are involved in
the alleged frauds. According to the
officials, the papers were secured by
wealthy residents OF Hayd and other
South American republics for protec-
tion purposes.
weil-to-do men there learned that
they could escape the exorbitant tax
alton of the little republic and be ac-
corded the protection OF the United
States II naturaliZed as citizens of this
country. In some way unknown to the
federal authorities a band of men,
chiefly foreigners, who have made
| their headquarters In Waterbury,
Conn.,, have been engaged for some
time in supplying citizenship papers to
natives of Hayti.
The name of the applicant would be
forwarded to the leader OF the band In
Connecticut, who would promptly
have a man apply for citizenship pa
| pers under that name. All necessary
| formalities would be observed and
when the papers finally were issued
they would be forwarded to the Hay
tian agent, who received In payment
therefor sums ranging from 5000 to
| $3.50 each, according to the wealth and
standing of the applicant.
| Yesterday as the steamer Prince
| Wilhelm ii. was about to clear for
Hayti, a special employe Of the de-
partment of justice placed Ajax under
arrest. The prisoner denied he was
citizen, but in his effects the officer
found a letter from the state depart
ment In Washington, directed to Ajax
refusing to grant him a passport on
certificate of naturalization issued In
Hartford, dated November 10, 1908.
When arraigned before a United
States commissioner he pleaded moi
guilty and was held In $4,000 bail.

"a Pretty Wedding"

Married, at the home of the brides
Bottleson. The bride was beautifully
attired in green basque with yellow
skirt to match, caught up over blue
denim petticoat, with passamenterie
trimming, a red jacket to correspond
with her eyes and hair, blue hat with
a red feather, white shoes and black
stockings. The groom wore the con-
ventional ducking overalls with wamus
to match, n straw hat and kid gloves.
They were married in the kitchen Of
the palatial home which is AXIS, one
story - feet, posts with lean to, on
stone foundation, no exposures within
twenty feet The firemen played an
overture on a hose cart bell as they
passed under bridal arch Of sun
flowers and holly hooks. John hasn't
money enough to hire minister, so
he had country justice come in and
marry them, working out his road tax
for pay. The groom is knock-kneed,
pigeon-toed fellow, who drifted in here
at the hobo convention. He has never
been seen in states prison-we don't
know why. One leg is longer than the
other and his eyes don't match. He
chews, smokes and fiddles for dances.

not a score, while Guy, the first batter
up for the Presbyterian bunch, raped
out Il single and things looked good
for Manchester. Eut that was about the
only time in the game it did look good.
Leutge famed the next man, and while
Flanagan got down to the first sta
ton on a fielders choice, Captain Mutt
went out at first on an easy hit to
short.
In their second the Catholics scored
three and the Presbyterans failed to
do anything in their half.
1t was in the third that Captain
Halfpenny's men started the onslaught.
With two men gone, Hoy struck Ryan
out, but Dickson let the ball go by,
and the ropes holding the balloon were
cut. When the dust cleared away it
was found that the eighth score had
been made and the chances Of the
Presbyterians winning the game had
been considerably lowered. In the next
inning the Saints made three runs,
and Captain Mutt sent Hoy to the
stable.
Mr.. Conner was the youngster sent
in to take his place, and when the
handsome youth stepped into the box
he was greeted by words of encourage
ment from the fair sex along the side
lines. He got through the first inning
with but one run charged against him,
but that was made through errors, as
Conner had not permitted hit to be
made off his delivery.
But right in the very next inning.
Mr.. Conner met his Waterloo He got
all that was coming to him, and then
some. Leutge started things in this
inning with a double, and Ryan fol-
lowed with single. Harrington didn't
do anything, but Halfpenny hit for u
double, Doyle raped out Il single, To
mex hit for single and Tomck fol-
lowed with one for two bases. Kernes
hit a clean one, and when it was up to
Leutge again the pitcher lined out a
single. Another double by Halfpenny
and a single by Tomek finished the
work and the prospects of Mr.. Conner
pulling the game out of the fire had
gone glimmering. Nine hits and a to-
tai Of ~ runs; that's what happened to
Conner in the eighth, and he was sent
to keep Hoy company. Mutt called
upon Thropp to finish the work.
Thropp lasted quick. His curves were
easily solved by the Catholics and Cap
tain Mutt caem in from second base
and finished the game himself.
Nobody remembers just how it was
done, but the Saints, were finally re-
tired just as as they were about to
push across another run to make it
an even 80, and the Presbyterians, with
but five to their credit, could only
draw blank in their last half of the
| ninth.
Manchester scored three of their runs
in the third and the remaining two in
the eighth. The three in the third were
made on a couple Of errors, base on
balls, batter hit and a double by
Mcdonald. In the eighth another base
on balls, another batter hit and single
tells the story. A brief story Of the
battle follows:

Meets Waterloo.

Base Ball Club of MCAlester College
Meets Waterloo.
In the first game of the intercollegi-
ate series in the conference league be-
tween st. Thomas and Manchester
Wednesday afternoon the Catholics
gave the Presbyterians a drubbing that
will not be forgotten very soon by the
rooters for the blue and orange in the
institution out on Grand avenue, says
the st. Paul Globe.
Captain Halfpenny's aggregation
pounded the ball, ran bases and made
scores in most disgraceful manner
from Presbyterian standpoint, and
had silenced the Manchester rooters be-
fore the contest had gone three rounds.
Twenty-Five hits, helped along by 1G
errors on the part of Manchester, tells
the, story Of the Catholics victory.
Harrington was the only saint in the
game who failed to get a hit, and some
of his team mates We're credited with
three and four. The Presbyterians
tried four pitchers, but the Catholics
played no favorites, and the favorite
twirlers Of the Grand avenue institu-
tion We're sent to the bench as regular
ly as they came up.
But it was not altogether the fault of
the pitchers. The Macalester team
fielded badly, as the 16 errors will
show, and they also failed to hit the
ball. Mcdonald, the Macalester short
stop, was the one particular bright star
among the Presbyterians when it came
to stickwork. Out of the five times
up he raped the ball for three singles
and a double, but he played in the
same class with the rest of the team
in field work, making three errors out
Of the five chances he had at short.
The only other members of the Mac
alester team to get hit were Guv
Mutt and Wallace. Leutge was an
enigma to the rest of them.
The manner in which the Catholics
played indicates that st. Thomas will
again be a factor in the race for the
pennant, and if Captain Halfpenny
can put up as good a game against
the other teams in the league there
will be no way of stopping the purple
and gray.
I1eutge, who was on the slab for
st. Thomas, is not only good pitcher,
but he is a good hitter, getting four
hits, two of which were for two bases,
out of his six times up.
The game was played on the Mac.
alester diamond, and for one brief in.
ming it looked as though it might be
an, even contest. The Presbyterians
were cheered by the roofing of some
200 students, but the rooters had little
work to do after the game had fairly
started.

an, was sent in to serve out the twist.
