have net been asleep, as some people
may imagine, and was the first man
ager in the Cotton States league to
sign my team for the coming year.
You may state that Sabrie, Yeager,
Bammert, and Hahn of last years
team will play the coming season. l
don't mean that none of the others
will be signed, but I have simply not
yet made the line up. Loper and Lam
bert, the Dayton, Ohio, battery, come
highly recommended. They were sign
ed to come here last season, but went
to California instead Toner and
O'Rourke, youngsters | secured in
Philadelphia, have done fine in the
past and ought to do we'll here They
have played on Jersey teams. AS t.
my Cuban pitchers that l wrote of,
possibly one of them will come to
Vicksburg. The ether thought he
might come here at a later time, but
| wanted h m here before the sea
son opened or not at all. Jose Pepills.
Rometo Y Burtiz is the euphonious
name of the Cuban who will likely
come here In my opinion he is the
best pitcher in Cuba. though the lea
que magnates down there are not eX-
actly of my opinion and haven't been
working him regularly. The fact is
that he has a fine constitution, an eX-
cellent arm and all the physical re-
quisites, and if he can be trained to
do some thinking he will be a wonder"

The railroad commission of Arkan-
sas will give final hearing On Feb

arkana jobbers for readjustment OF
the local rate suuation by granting to
Texarkana a reduction of SO per cent
upe,a all shipments moving cut of
, TeXarkana under the tariffs Of the Ark
ansas commission.
The Merchants Freight Bureau Of
Little Rock will oppose the applica
tion on behalf of the Little Rock job
bers and tne Iron Mountain railroad,
it is said will also resist it.
1t is announced by Secretary Flcyd
of the railroad commission that no Or
der whatever has been made by the
commission bearing upon the TeXar-
kama application. The application of
the Texarkana shippers is as follows:
"To the Honorable Railway Commis-
the merchants and people of Texar-
kama, Miller county, Arkansas, beg
to present to your notice the serious
discrimination in freight rate which
now exists against Texarkana, Ark,
as compared with Little Rock and
Pine Bluff, and ask at your hands
some arrangement which will give us
relief from our disadvantages and
place us more nearly ON an equal foot
ing with other sections of this state
in delivering cur wares to our Gus
of Arkansas.
For several years we have endur-
ed the burden of which We now CON-
plain, and, failing to obtain from the
railroads any relief, We now appeal
to your honorable body tc, exercise its
proper and legal authority to SO read
just the rate situation in this imme-
diate territory as to enable us to ov-
ercome in a measure the unjust ad
vantages which the carriers have con-
ferred upon ear neighbors at Little
Rock and Pine Bluff.
I'VE have prepared certain compara-
tive schedules of rates. and submit
them herewith showing that our COM

to the lower rates prevailing into Lit

dulles show that at the very first sta
tion out of Texarkana upon these lines
the cities named can deliver canned

compete at greater distance than
twenty-five miles our disadvantage in
rates is prohibitive, and competition is
out of the question. We are advised
by your commission that you cannot
legally attempt to adjust interstate
rates into our city or elsewhere.
For and in consideration of all
these reasons We pray the honorable
railway commission of Arkansas to re-
adjust the local rate situation by
granting to Texarkana, Ark, reduc-

moving out of Texarkana, Ark, under
the tariffs of the Arkansas railway
