COLUMBUS HOPES
 TO GET IN LEAGUE
BASEBALL FANS ARE ENTHuslAs- TIC OVER THE PROSPECT OF BE- ING TAKEN INTO THE COTTON STATES AGGREGATION.

Columbus. Miss. November 9.-tSpe- eial)-There is no limit to the enthusiasm being shown among the lovers of base ball and citizens generally at the good prospects of Columbus becoming mem- Der of the Cotton States league the coming season.
 William P. Mahon. who was one of the managers of the Columbus Baseball club last season and very enthusiastic fan, attended the recent meeting of the Cot ton States league in Jackson and present. ed this citys application for admittanee to the league Mir Mahon was cordially received and his claim received very promising mention and support in the event that the league is composed of eight clubs next season. The question of mak- ing the league consists of eight clubs and the admittanee of Columbus will be definitely decided at a meeting of the league about December 1, when the mat ter of increasing the league to eight teams will be disposed of. Columbus, with it's location, financial support of fans and the Columbus Street railway here insures a most prosperous season if the applica- ton is accepted. The very best in the way of players would represent the team here and as a profitable venture there can be no doubt of the outcome. From present indications New Orleans would be the other city to complete the eight team circuit but Monroe and Alexandria, La, and Selma, Ala, are also prominently mentioned.

Other Crimes Will Convict Negro.

Atlanta, November 20--(Speeial)- in the event Will Jackson, the negro to whom evidence points strongly as being the assailant of Mrs. J. N. Camp, cannot be convicted of that crime, he has now been identified as the negro who attempt ed assaults both upon Mrs. Woodlee on the Adamsville road and upon Mrs Hembree, near Battle Hill. Both Mrs Woodlee and Mrs. Hembree have seen him and identified him positively as the man who attacked them. Though he should escape the death penalty he still stands to get forty years in the peniten- tiary for these two crimes. The grand jury will take up the case this week, and there is no doubt about the fact that two indictments will be returned against him. He will be tried on Monday or Tues day.

Jackson Y. M. c. A. to Have Buildino

Jackson, Miss, November 2o.-(Special) ) Strange as it may seem 1t is fact that the city of Jackson has never had a Y. M. C. A. building, but one seems to be now assured. For several months the young men of the city have been doing all in their power to raise the funds that are necessary to erect the building, and at last it looks as if their efforts are 10 be crowned with success. The Y. M. C. A. owns as handsome building lot as is to be found. in the city, and in the course of few more months there will be erected q very handsome building thereon.

Thankful for the Rain, Anyway.

Jackson, Miss, November 20.-(Special. ) This section of the country was hit pretty hard by the storm of Sunday and Satur- day night, but so far no serious damage or loss of life has been reported The rain that accompanied the wind was more than welcome for the reason that it was more than needed by the farmers, as well as the market gardners and the truckers all over this section. The dust had been six inches deep on every road leading to and from Jackson, and travel was well nigh suspended till the rains of Sunday settled the dust and made life once more endurable.

CUT RATE STAMPS ARE !.
SOLD IN MINNEAPOLIS

Large quantities Of postage stamps
are sold at discount in Minneapolis,
according to the local postal authori-
ties. The United States postage stamp
is commonly regarded as something
it can; be obtaineds from several sources
at less than the government rate.
At least one large firm is said to
obtain it's stamps from outside sources,
tho the handling of it's mail is a large
factor in the expense Of running the
postoffce. -. -. = .-~
The chief sources Of supply for bar
gain stamps are large mail order houses,
which take them in payment for small
purchases and sell the stamps at dis
count in, order to realize ready money.
Country postmasters who wish to pad
their accounts and thus draw com
mission in excess of that demanded by
their regular business also contribute.
The postal authorities point out that
the large patrons WHO deal with the
"scalpers' hurt themselves more than
the small rake-off they make can re.
pay. By cutting into the stamp sales
Of the local postoffce they decrease
the receipts Of the office and thus de-
crease the amount available for carrier
and clerk hire. This impairs the eff.
cheney of the service upon which they
depend for their profits. >,.1..s

CITIES COMPETE FOR
CONVENTION HONOR.

Three cities, Minneapolis, Duluth and
St. Paul, will be in the fight soon to Sc
cure the republican state convention for
the nomination Of state ticket. For
years st, Paul, as the capitol city, has
entertained the nominating conventions.
The accommodations offered for the last
convention were far from satisfactory,
tho, and considerable dissatisfaction
was expressed by delegates and others.
Minneapolis will present it's claims
and make strong bid for the conven-
tion this summer. The Auditorium is
admirably adapted to the purpose, en-
abling all the delegates to be seated on
one floor, feature that is most desir-
able in political conventions.
The Minneapolis boom has been on
for some time and is well organized
Last night the Fourth Ward Republican
club took formal action and organized
committees to take up the. work. The
Commercial club, the city council, and
republican organizations generally, will
be asked to cooperate.
Duluth made strong bid for the
convention two years ago and is able
to offer ample accommodations in its
armory. The city crowd is noted fol
its ability to entertain and in add
ton there are few more loyal re
publicans than the ST. Louis county ag
gregation. The Duluth claims will b
pushed this year as certain OF the cliff
dwe]ler politicians maintain that they
were given assurances of the next con
vention when their application for thu
last was refused. st. Paul, as far al
accommodations are Concerned, is ou
Of the race.

Now is the time for property owners
for their respective sections of the city
this year.
Within the next few weeks the city
council will take final action on the
petitions for paving, sewers, curb and
gutter, and watermains, and the petit
tions which have the strongest support
will have the best chances of being
considered. II there were sufhclent
money for all improvements asked for,
there would be no occasion for worry
on the part Of the citizens, but less
be cared for this year.
Time to Talk
The committee on sewers will meet
next Monday afternoon at 2 CLOCK
to hear what the citizens have to say
ION the sewerage problem. The list now
before the committee calls for an ex-
penditure Of about 100000, whereas,
there viii op probably be available aa lie less
clude the requests presented at the last
meeting of the council, Of which there
were number 49, ~
Chairman Claus Mumm Of the COM
mittee on sewers, says that the out
look is discouraging. The demand for
sewers from all parts of the city is un-
usually large and the pressure is cor
respondinglysh heavy. In most cases the
need for sewer facilities is imperative,
and the petitioners are entitled to the
improvements they demand.
- Paving in Demand.
The paving committe will meet Wed
nesday afternoon at O'Clock. With
regard to paving, the situation is al
most as ,discouraging. The amount of
work asked for is so far in excess of
the funds available that more than half
of the requests must be denied. The
disappointed citizens will have cause
for complaint and will probably criti.
cize the city government, in strong
terms, as the majority are unable to
understand why they cannot have i'm.
provements when they are willing tc
pay the cost. The fourth ward alone
can use the entire paving fund, and
while it will receive the lion g share OF
the paving to be laid next summer, that
will not be half enough to satisfy the
taxpayers. = @-t - :
With regard to curb and gutter, an6
watermains, the situation is consider
ably better; still, a number Of streets
| will have to wait at least another veal
for these Improvements. *r' H.;

Wednesday, the first day of Lent. In
.cidentally today is Shrove Tuesday,

may know of surety that the coming
year will bring him prosperity.
Ash Wednesday, which marks the be-
ginning Of the penitential season Of
Lent, will be observed, with special
services in all churches which provide
for an observance of Lent in their dis
| cipline- The ceremonies of this day
! are derived from the ancient Hebrew
custom of rending the garments and
scattering ashes on the head as sign
of mourning or contrition. While the
ally the scriptural injunction, the dis
tribution of? ashes is part of the cere-
mony in many churches, and the day
takes its name from this custom.
