EDUCATIONAL EXCHANGE
NOW FULLY ORGANIZED
Enterprising Concern VIII Appeal
Readily to Teachers-J. M. Dew
berry Is the President.

On April 1, 1905, the Educational Ex-
change company was organized as a cor
poration with Birmingham, Ala, as it's
principal office and with a capital stock
of $4,000, divided into 500 shares of the
par value of 500 each. The incorporators
and officers are: ]. M. Dewberry, pres
ident; Prof. w. c. Griggs of Brewton
Ala, vice president and Prof. r. A. Clay
ton of Woodlawn, Ala. secretary and
treasurer. The reading purposes of the
company are:
l. To publish the Educational Ex-
change" for teachers, parents, school
officers and all others interested in the
cause of education.
2. To conduct "Dewberry's school
agency" for the employment of teachers.
3. To sell school furniture, school sup
plies. church furniture and opera chairs.
4. To establish branch offices and extend
ts work and influence to other states
Those who are acquainted with the
educational history of Alabama and the
south will readily observe that the pres
ident of the company, Mr.. J. M. Dew
berry, has been identified with these en-
terprises for many years. In 1887 he be-
came manager of the Educational Ex-
change" In 1892 he established Dewberry 8
school agency, and in 1893 began the sale
OF school furniture and other lines OF
seating He now calls to his assistance
as stockholders in this new company,
Prof. r. A. Clayton and Prof. w. c.
Griggs Prof Clayton is superintendent
OF the Woodlawn public schools and has
for years been the active manager OF
Dewberry's school agency.
Prof. Griggs is superintendent OF the
CITY schools of Brewton. Ala, and is
man of ability both as teacher and as
n business man. With ample capital and
fun of energy and enterprise. the officers
of the Educational Exchange company
will doubtless push 1t on to success in all
its line of work.

THE City League opened its season of

by Sheriff Powers to prevent the viola

In the weakened condition of Newt.
Fishers team victory for the Barons
yesterday would have almost been GER
tainty. 1t was simply another case of
hard luck that the second game of the
series could not be played when the Bar
ons have so much the best of the argu-
ment.
The clouds which gathered late Monday
night and resulted in a rain yesterday
were a godsend to Fisher and his team
from the lithia water bottoms, and the
old saying of an i'll wind blowing nobody
good was verified again.
While foxy Newt and his cohorts were
happy yesterday, the fans and Baron
team were in the dumps because of the i'll
luck, and the gods of the weather re-
ceived many a prayer last night that they
would bring a clear sky and hot weather
today and tomorrow.
There was also another man to whom
the rain was brighter than the sunshine.
That was Umpire Bassett, who was re-
leved from the possibility of making any
bad decisions, and who had an entire day
to study up on baseball and the rules
covering the national sport.
a Toast, II
If the glasses had been filled last night
and toast had been drunk by the fans
1t would have been:
Here's to you, Mr.. Bassett, and may
the day off have proven beneficial to you
in many ways. May you retain the job,
if"
There is a world of possibility in that
one word "if," and it all applies. Person
ally there is no grudge against the UNI
pire, but as the presiding person over the
destinies of eighteen sons Of swat It is
different.
The i'll wind Of yesterday blew good to
another poor, forlorn creature, the third
member of the trio being Thomas Brien.
-Four times this season a howl has gone
skyward from the fans of the sleepy town
south of here, but yesterday the howl
was changed to a shout of joy.
That same Thomas o Brien turned de-
feat into victory, and now the ex-Baron
mogul is hero in the legislator town.
Hlplludy ilt WIS dliloSl IL lIdillD WilHoul
friends. Today he Is almost a real hero.
Tied for First.
The Barons and the champions now
stand at the top of the column. and At
lanta has started down the ladder and
at the hands of Montgomery. 1t was an
awful fate Because the Firemen lost
yesterday it would be err to draw COM
parsons as to the relative strength of
Birmingham and Atlanta.
But prospects do look bright for the
Barons having the top of the column
alone after this afternoon If Memphis
and New Orleans lock horns, the Mem
phil are apt to go down in defeat At the
same time, while the Fishermen and the
Barons are tied up in deadly conflict, the
latter have decidedly the best end of it
II is probable that Ginger" Clarke
will do the twirlins for the Barons today
and that Frickie or Drummer will offciate
in like manner for 7, ,shville.

phis-New Orleans lame postponed; wet
