The South's best policy is thus
outlined by the Orangeburg IS.
CO. Times and Democrat: The
practical course for the South is
beyond a doubt the raising o1
ample cotton each year, the mar
keting of that cotton slowly and
to the best possible advantage,
the diversification Of crops, the
raising of all farm supplies pos
sible, and the avoiding of all such
schemes as proposed by Mr.. Sully
for cornering of the cotton mar
ket and the gambling in cotton
futures.

The Rock Hill Record makes
this encouraging report of South
Cardinals prosperous farmers: II
is safe to say that the South Car
olina farmers have, as a rule, al
ready paid the debt incurred in
making the crop of 1906, and it is
further within a conservative es-
innate to say that these farmers
still have in their hands unsold
$25, ,OOO, 900 worth of cotton.

Condor Defeats Sad sam
in the Last Race

Special to The Herald
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11.-Despite
the muddy track, the talent picked the
winners today until the sixth race
which was won by w. II. Condon
Sad Sam was the favorite but the go
ing was not to his liking. Besides
this the speedy three year old, David
Boland, ran his eye out the first half
mile. Both leaders stopped badly i'll
the last part, where Condor came up
and won easily from Squire johnson,
with San Nicholas and Ishlana close
behind.
Tony Barrett scored another win with
Barrack in the fifth race, who won
going away from his field.
Sir Wilfred scored his third success
sive win and is easily the best of the
babies who have sported colors so far
this season.
In the third race Chandler on Edu-
cate came dangerously close to beat
ing Mino Chandler claimed a foul for
crowding but it was not allowed. Bonn
bardier had an easy task in capturing
the $1,000 handicap, Nigrette quitting
after six furlongs of the event. The
going was not to the liking of Major
Mansir. who made a poor showing.

other jockeys at Emeryville and If he
continues to ride as he has for the
last week or ten days, he is sure to
finish the season as the leading jockey.
He has a good pair of hands and a
sensible head as well as being a good
judge of pace. Bettors are beginning
to realize this and play his mounts.
Just as Davis work at Oakland has
been good, so has Hildebrand's riding
been bad at Ascot Park. The star
jockey was badly shaken up and hurt
a short time ago and since then he
seems to have lost some of his courage.
He made his reputation through his
daredevil spirit. He was always will
ing to take a chance and because of
this ne landed many winners.
Peanuts Hildebrand ended the year
of 1904 with something over 300 winners
and broke all existing records for the
number of winning mounts in one year.
There have been other jockeys who
have been rated as Americas best,
but they have not attained the popular
ity and fame of Hildebrand. This boy
is csassed with such riders as Tod
Sloan, Fred Taral, Snapper Garrison
and others famous in turf history
whose fame lives after them.

CORRlGAN PLANNING
BIG RACING CIRCUIT

Special to The Herald.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 11.-All indi-
cations point that Edward Corrgan
has practically organized new racing
circuit which will be known as the
Southern Racing circuit and that one
of the bitterest turf wars of the de-
cade If not in the history of racing is
about to be inaugurated.
Plants that are seemingly in his
grasp are those at Kansas City, Chi
cago and Park Hot Springs, a new
course about completed here in New
Orleans.
With such chain of racing plants
Corrigan looks formidable. On the 9TH
er hand possession is nine points of the
law and the Western Jockey club is
strongly entrenched. Corrigan has
gone to New York in furtherance of
his plans.

National Game Comes Next in School
Program

The baseball team of the Los An

kind of good shape, and it will only be
a short time until the school will have
first-class team in the field.
There is plenty of good material at

taking a greater interest in the sport
this year than for many past seasons.
The two Mitchell boys are looked on as
good things and will probably make
good for the team.
