With to-days game at Jacksonville
between Macon and Jacksonville the
season of 1904 of the South Atlantic
League closes.
Perhaps no minor league ever form
ed has had such a successful first sea-
son as has marked the championship
contest in this little six-club league.
The article of ball has been exception
ally good, the conduct of players above
reproach, the attendance far beyond
the fondest expectations and more than
the ordinary number of young and
promising players developed.
Savannah feels an especial pride in
the league. as it was here that it was
conceived and the actual work of or
ganization commenced. Some months
previous to the real work of organiza-
ton a prospective league was discussed
in several cities. In August the actual
work was taken up through the sport
ing department of the Morning News.
started Under Difficulties.
The preliminary work was slow and
tedious. In nearly every town the OBJ
stacle of losing independent teams the
season before had to be overcome. The
Jacksonville Baseball Association was
several thousand dollars behind Au-
gusta promoters were in the same boat
and in Savannah no one could be found
who was willing to go into the BUSH
ness.
Jacksonville was the first town to
respond in anything like a business
way. The scheme of forming a six
club league was heartily Endorsed. Ma
con was the next to fall in line,
Charleston following close after. with
Mr.. Charles w. Boyer the prospective
hacker of the club there. The towns
remaining to be taken in were Au-

A meeting was called to be held in
Savannah on Nov. IA. At that meet
ing Jacksonville was represented by
Col. Max Myerson, who acted as tenn
porary chairman; Mr. J. B. Lucy and
Mr. Charles Chase. Charleston was
represented by Mr.. C. w. Boyer. who
bore letters from Manager Passailaigue
of the street railway and others. Macon
was represented by Mr.. Felix Kohler,
Savannah was not represented, but Mr..
w. E. Reeves. who happened to be
present undertook the Savannah fran
chise. Columbus and Augusta were
represented by proxy.
The Formal Organization.
After the formal organization the
constitution and bylaws, which had
already been drawn up, were adopted
with but few changes. The election

From the London Pail Mall Gazette
1t is just sixty years ago since the
first telegraphic message was sent by
the Morse system from Baltimore to
Washington, and the first message by
the Atlantic submarine cable was dis
pitched six years afterward-tha is to
say, in June, 1850. Since then the use
of the telegraph has developed at
marvellous rate, until at the present
time million messages are sent over
the worlds lines every twenty-four
hours. According to some returns re-
Gently issued, the number of kilograms
dispatched in all countries in 1903
reached the enormous total of 364,S4S,-
474. AS a user of the telegraph Great
Britain heads the list with 92,471, 600
dispatches, and United States is second
with 1881 900, and France comes third
with 4S,114,151. Germany. Russia, Aus
tria, Belgium and Italy follow in the

STEPS PROPOSED TO

tie win run Into millions Of dollars.
There is grass for the cattle to eat
II they can be moved to 1t. Fortunes
depend on one or two contingencies
that rain shall speedily fall in the south
and that II be warm rain, that will
not chill and kill thousands Of cattle,
that are debiiitated and unable longer
to endure extremes, or thatNthe national
government and the county govern
mentsof California that have quaran-
tine ordinances shall yield to the pres
ent pressing emergency.
At one time the quarantine lines Of
the national government took In all
California. Gradually, as the Texas
fever has been stamped out the limit
of quarantine has been moved south

generally are exempt from quarantine.
In the north the greater share of the
rain OF this exceptionally dry winter
has fallen. In the south, where the
quarantine is still effective, there is
great need of some remedial measure.
The quarantine is rigorous in the
