THlRTY-SlxTH DAY.

After spirited fight, consuming
the entire morning session, and dur.
ing which much bitterness was dis
played, the senate defeated the bill
seeking to abolish Friars Point as one
OF the county sites of Coahoma county.
Although 1t was only local measure,
assurprising opposition was stirred up
and some rather high-tempered speech
es we're made by members. Ever since
the legislature convened a delegation
of Friars Point citizens has been at
the capital for the purpose of defeat
ing the bill, and their object was ac-
complished this morning, the vote be-
ing IA to 10, No motion to reconsider
was entered Senator ]. Alcorn Glov-
er was the champion of the bill and
made a very determined fight with the
odds arrayed against him.
The senate committee on finance
made an adverse report on the bill al.
lowing the University of Mississippi
interest due on its land grant fund for
the years 1904 and 1905. 1t is under
stood that the effort will now be made
to push this measure through the
house. The public health and quaran-
tine committee gave a black eye to the
bin seeking to regulate the practice
Of osteopathy and creating State

Ter discovered tina, SIS which had been
left in the money drawer was gone.
The clerk had gone out to make some
deliveries, and that moment served as
good opportunity for the thieves to get in
their work, and evidently the robbery
was committed by someone who was
acquainted with the place and was watch
inX their chance. Mr. Miller made the
theft known to his wife, when his son dis
closed the fact that two negroes had been
in the place during his fathers absence
and had run out the back way. This was
oil the clew Miller had to work on.
Constable W. y. Morelan was placed
in charge of the facts and was not long

having stimulated within them desire to be greater, learn more and help those about him to learn those things that only education can give to the mind.
 He said that proper instrumentalites for higher education are as essential to a eountrys welfare as elementary educa- tion. He urged the youths to go to the top because there was less competition there; that the great business enterprises of the land are daily calling for men of high education, and that so great was the demand that it was impossible for the colleges at present to supply the demand. versity of Alabama were the men hold ing the highest posts of honor and ex- alted the alumni to increase the student; that by so doing he said they would be doing their state a great service
 He then made a plea for the rural coun- try schools, saying that a chasm sepa- rated the rural schools from the univer- sity because iii their highest classes they could Tot take the student where it was possible fos him to even enter the fresh man class. He produced statistics, which showed that there were only two states in the union where education was so neglected as in Alabama. He said that by reason of Alabama's richness in min eral resources that she should be among the first in the land in educational advan- tages, and that there should be pride within each citizen, which would make them willing and glad to submit to special educational tax

sLAePILE SETTINGS.

On account of numerous arguments re- garding the pitching record of McGinnity the following special was secured last night:
 New York, May 31-(Special. .)-Joe Mc- Ginnity's record for the season Is as fol- lows: Games played 13, won 12 tied l. al- lowed 59 hits, gave P bases on balls and struck out 2S. Batting record, times at bat 34, hits 4, runs 4, percentage Ills. He made one two base hit and stole one base. Fielding record, put outs 8, assists 35, errors 1, percentage 9T.
 McGinnity is pitching the greatest ball of his career and Is in perfect physical condition. His chief ability Is in keeping the hits scattered and holding down op- ponents at critical stages He Is using his underhand cross fire delivery alternating with a new slow drop ball which he de- veloped and practied at Birmingham this spring. Tn the number of games won he holds the pitchers record thus far in both leagues.

MINAHA!

H. c.

For Minahan is the boy,
 The Barons pride and joy; When he pitches we are almost sure Of
 the game, For he is batting like fend And his fielding is "a dream" He is a star, he makes the players feel
 ashamed. Very soon he will be back, And you'll hear his bat crack; You will see the fields chasing the ball
 all over town; Other teams will feel mighty sore, Because they can't get a score. And Minahan will tell them-"Go way
 back and sit down. For Minahan is the pitcher, Minahan Is the hitter. And I guess he is the fielder. too When they get through with him They feel worse than "Dumpy Jim.'' For they know they have met their Wa

 road Company-"The New Way"

The undeveioped resources along the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City rail- road are perhaps superior to those of any other railroad in the south; the timber Is practically inexhaustible. consisting of the highest grades of long yellow leaf pine. short leaf pine and a variety of hardwoods The line also traverses one of the finest farming and agricultural sec- tions to be found In the south. Corres- pondence is solicited from those contem- plating the location of any kind of man. ufacturing enterprise or who may be prospecting for a superior field for the purpose of tilling the soil. Tn addition to the merits of this section for the products of the soil which are staple, we would call especial attention to the peculiar ad- vantages which obtain in favor of fruit and vegetable raising, splendid transpor- tation facilities to the best markets at reasonable cost.
