LEAGUE
DIRECTORS
Hold Meeting Wednesday to
Discuss BasebaII-.-NO Fl.
nal Actions Taken

A meeting OF the directors OF the
Cotton States league was called to
meet at President George Wheatley s
office last Wednesday to take action ON
the matter of salaries, but as only
three of the clubs sent representatives
when according to baseball law, four
clubs should be represented to make a
quorum, no action could be taken,
and the questions of salaries could
only be given general discussion.
Greenville, Vicksburg and Natchez
were the three clubs represented and
those present were: President Wheat
ley, B. G. Wheeler, r. W. Tilford,
Al Mayor, Greenville: Frank Barber
Harvey lockwood, Vicksburg, and
George Blackburn, Natchez. The
managers of the Pine Bluff team tele-
graphed that they would agree to any
action that might be taken, and Man
ager Liedy, Of Monroe, wired that he
was too i'll to attend the meeting,
The limit prescribed for the month
ly salaries is $500, but this has been
found insufficient to keep good
players and this rule has been gener-
ally violated, Pine Bluff, it is
claimed, paying as high as 81, 800 per
month. Another rule says that Glass
d teams can carry no more than l2
men including a manager. Natchez
and Greenville favored enforcing this
rule, but Vicksburg objected stating
that ID men are necessary to provide
against accidents at any time likely
TO happen. Another meeting Of the
directors will be held in the near fu-
;ure when these questions will 10 de-
,ided.

CIRCUIT COURT
OF Washington County Convened
Monday---Judse Kimbroush
on the Bench

Last Monday Sheriff Crouch con-
vened the summer term OF the circuit
court. The court room was filled
with the citizenship of the county
who had been summoned to report for
| jury service and Circuit Clerk Gill
dart was present with his deputies to
perform the duties of his office. Judge
A. McC, Kimbrough arrived on the
eleven O'clock train from his home in
Greenwood and soon after, arriving at
the court house, had the sheriff to
open the court and Clerk GildArt to
draw the jury, which in our opinion,
is composed Of the best citizens of the
county.
In his conversational manner Judge
Kimbrough delivered his charge to
the jury and his arraignment of the
lawbreaker, which it is the duty OF
the grand jury to indict, was COM
plete. He laid particular stress on
gambling, the illegal sale of liquors
and the pistol carrying habit, saying
that these three are responsible for
the worst crimes. He called attention
to the recent murders committed in
the county and to the reports circu-
lated of brutal treatment on some of
our county farms. The charge was
strong one and attentively listened to
by the jury, officers, bar and specta-
tors, and pronounced by all strong
blow at crime.
The grand jurors are:
G. G. Dean, Leland, foreman,
H. N, Alexander,
Wood Thompson,
F. M. Pepper,
W. S. Wright,
W. D. Robertshaw,
Henry Abercrombe,
B. T. Winter,

the jury is doing some good work.

A HUMoRIsT IN LOVE.
His Whole Anatomy Was Riddled
Like a Ripe Apple Perforated
with Bird-Shot.

A certain young humorist once fel
violently in love with pretty girl whom
he had met for the first time. Th
strength of his attachment may b.
gauged. says London Tit-Bits, by th,
following letter which he indited tC
her:
MY Dear Miss NJ: Every time
think of you my heart fiops up and down
like an excited eel in a fish basket Sen
sations Of unutterable JOY caper over il
like young kittens on an clubhouse roof
and thrill through it like broken bottles
on the garden wall through the gar.
ments of the nocturnal thief. AS a gos
ling swimmeth in mud puddle, so J
swim in sea of glory. Visions o.
ecstatic rapture thicker than the hairs
of a blacking brush visit me in my slum
bers, and. borne on their invisible wings
| reach out to grasp your image like s
terrier swapping at a bluebottle fly.
Since the light of your face fell upon
my life I sometimes feel as II I could
lift myself up by ny boot-iack TO the
top Of the church steeple and pull the
bell ropes for morning school.
DAY and night you are in my
thoughts. and whenever I think Of you
my heart. like a piece Of gutta-percha
seems stretched across my bosom.
Your hair is like the name Of chest
nut horse powdered with gold. and ths
brass pins stewered through 1t Gil me
with unbounded awe. Your forehead is
smoother than the elbow cf an ole coat
and your eyes are glorious to behold
In their liquid depths ] see legions Of
Cupids bathing Ike a cohort OF ants IN
an old Wellington boot When their
FIRE hit my manly breast It penetrated
my whole anctomy. as a charge Of bird
shot goes thrcnsA ? ripe apple.
IF you cannot reciproeate ny thrill
ing passion. I shall pine away Ike
poisoned fly. and fall from the flourish
ing vine Of life an untimely branch And
in coming years. when the shadows fall
from the hills and the eorncrake sings
his cheerful evening hymn. yon. happy

OUTSIDERS IN THE HOME.
When They Are Brought In, the
Whole Family Should Share In
Caring for Them.

1t is an injustice TO an aging mother
who has brought up her own children,
through the trials that have broken her,
to surround her too constantly with the
eager, insistent life Of our children, life
that saps even our sturdier vigor, says
Harpers BazaF 1t is good for children
to have a grandmother, but it is not al
ways good for a grandmother to have so
many grandchildren. She needs long in
tervals free from any sort of disturbance,
and II is almost impossible to secure
them for her in our teeming households
We who attempt 1t generally had our
sevles buffeted like a breakwater that
stands between some shoreward stretch
of still water and the wild ocean forces

sake then. quite as much as for our own.
or for that Of our husbands and children,
that we exhaust the possibilities to find
an outside shelter for them and sepa-
rate field Of activity.
And still there remain cases where
some helpless or unhappy old person
must be received into our very home.
must live close with US between four
walls Then let us make It family mat
ter; the burden ought not to be carried
by one alone-indeed, 1t cannot be. A
frank talk over the situation. without
temper or tears. will usually make this
clear to the reasonable family we ought
to have made our family. The trouble is'
we too often endure past the limit Of en-
durance and then demonstrate past
iusice Of remcnstrance. We-the whole
family-are now elected to high Office
By that unacceptable circumstances
which always bears the stamp Of
