Three Thousand at Work.
There are about three thousand labor
ers now at work. These are cared for
in fourteen camps located on high
ground at convenient points along the
route. The camps are we'll drained and
arranged. They consist of tents fitted
out with hunks from two to four feet
above ground and are doored, hos
pital tent, a cook tent, with range and
other conveniences, and large tent
with tables where the men are fed.

FINE RECORDS IN
 COTTON STATES
ROBERTSON AND BILLIARD ARE ESPECIALLY DISTINGUISHING THEMSELVES AS NO HIT, NO RUN HEROES.

Memphis. June 10.-(Specal )-reams in the Cotton States league are living up to the reputation established in that organi- zation for close scores and hard fought battles. With the arrival of warm wealth. CT enthusiasts in the six-club circuit em- bracing the cities of Baton Rouge, Mobile, Gulfport Jackson, Meridian and Vicks- burg. have been furnished with brilliant exhibitions during the past week, several clashes ending in long drawn extra in ming contests.
 Thus far the league probably leads the country for furnishing no run, no hit heroes. Robertson of Jackson, Billiard of Meridian and Bruner of the same club have made records for themselves as much performers the first of which happened on April % when Bduner let his oppo- nents down without runs or hits. During the present month Billiard has been the only pitcher to accomplish such feat, but on May 31 Robertson was the star, thus making a record for the Cotton States of having boasted of hitless. runless contest on the part of the defeated team for each month since the season started.
 Baton Rouge managed by Bernie Me- Cay, the former Atlanta player, is the leading team in the race but Jackson, Meridian and Gulfport are close up and any days results may find a new club at the top.
 The present season is the fifth for the league pennants having been won respec- lively in 1902, 1903, 1904 and 1905 by Natchez, Baton Rouge, Pine Bluff and Greenvlle. Greenville's triumph last season was some what robbed of glory by the sudden ter imitation of the season when quarantine restrictions placed such handicap on travel. but Manager George Reed who was then leading the Greenville aggregation had set such fast pace that Greenville was leading by wide margin at the end and would have undoubtedly led by much to spare at the end
 President O. & Compton. the head of the league this year. having succeeded George Wheatley. resigned. does not fore see anything but a successful season ahead. The teams are reported to be thriving and patrons over the circuit are satisfied with the quality of ball put forth.

BANKERS ARE TO

GEORGIA ASSOCIATION WILL EN- PERTAIN FLORIDA FINANCIERS IN RETURN FOR COMPLIMENT PAID THEM LAST SUMMER.

Atlanta, June 10.-The Georgia and Florida Bankers associations will hold a joint meeting here beginning tomorrow, the Georgia financlers being the enter tainers. returning the compliment paid them one year ago, when the Florida bankers were the hosts at Atlantic Beach. A joint meeting will be held tomorrow, which, in addition to the addresses of welcome and responses, will listen to a speech by Charles H. Treat. treasurer of the United States, on the subject of the relation of the United States treasury to the banker. Other speakers will be R. E. L. Marshall of Baltimore and Joseph A McCord of Atlanta, member of the legislative committee of the American Bankers association.
 The two associations will meet separ- ately on Tuesday to transact the busi- ness incident to the respective annual meetings.
 By way of entertainment the guests will be given a drive about the city in the afternoon, closing with a reception to the visiting bankers and ladies, and in the evening banquet will be rendered the bankers by the Atlanta clearing house as- sociation.

The Barons left last night for Little Rock to play three games with the tin can end of the league.
 The entire team got away safely on the Frisco at 10:3O o'clock, and 1t is due to arrive in Little Rock between 1 and ? o'clock today The game will be call ed at o'clock.
 It Is probable that Wilhelm will pitch today. Reagan tomorrow and Sallee the following day. Ginger Clark's arm was a little to the bad in the game he started against Shreveport Saturday, and when he was relieved it was giving him some trouble. The trouble was only temporary, however and it is believed that he will be able to take his turn in the box Thurs day when the BaFons jump back to Mem phis.
 It Is the belief of Manager Vaughn that the team will have much better shc cess on this trip than when it int---'d the west before, and lost large ma jority of the games.
 "I don't believe that they will be able to trim us as badly as they did on the other trip" said Vaughn last night at the station. We had an awful break with luck on that trip and everything seemed to go against us.
 'The team seems to be hitting the ball better now than it was for while, all the pitchers seem to be in good condi tion and I do not see why we should not get half of the games we play while in Al. Shreveport.
 'I will not have any complaint to make if We come back with half the games won, and I do not think that the public win either. The team that wins more than half the road games in the South ern league is out of the ordinary.
 '1f we can strengthen up any while on the trip, we are going to do so. Of course l understand that I need first baseman and am doing all in my power to get one. So far l have not had any success. but then it is not from lack of trying.
 When We come back home If we are as high in the percentage column as We are now, we should be able to take a large majority of our games on our own grounds. and that should send us up to- wards the top of the league' The eastern teams are all on western trips now, playing three game series in each city Atlanta is at Shreveport for three games, and in the crippled con dition of Bobby Gilks' team, the Firemen should be able to take a majority. Gilks has no catcher who is fit to De in a game, for Fritz has such a sore shoulder that he cannot throw to second and 1t hurts him every time a ball strikes the init. Bryne has a lame ankle and his left hand is hurt so that he suffers all the time during a game.
 Montgomery Is at New Orleans, and the Alabama team opened the series by winning. Memphis suffered defeat from Nashville yesterday. so that two of the western teams signalized their home com ing by losing.
 Atlanta and Shreveport were prevented from playing by failure to reach Shreve- port on time. A large crowd was anti cipated in Shreveport as couple of ex- curslons had been run into the city and many of the excursionists expected to attend the game.

MEXICO STIRRING
 UP BEEF SCANDAL
CATTLE ARE FREQUENTLY KEPT ON TRAIN FOR FOUR DAYS WITHOUT FOOD AND KILLED IN THAT CONDITION.

Mexico City, June Ex-Governor Landa of the federal district, Dr. Liceaga, presi- dent of the superior board of health, and other officials have been inspecting the methods of slaughtering animals for the supply of the city markets. They will as the result of their personal inspection institute much needed reforms.
 Cattle, 1t Is said are coming here from distant points, often by rail from Chhua- hua, four-days' journey by freight trains without being fed and are killed when fin that condition. Some times, 1t is alleged even five days elapse before the animals are fed and are then killed.
 The governor of the federal district ex- presses his determination to effect a re- form in these matters.

 Birmingham will be in first place in less than ten days" said Barber Joe to the barber on the second chair. Now, know that you guys don't think I know one, two, three in the game of baseball but just watch and see if what I say is not true. Time will tell and that Is the only thing that will. The Barons are the boys and they are now fighting hard and trying to get to the top. There has been a lot of knocking among the fans over in the Slagtown, but when you get right to rock bottom they are loyal lot of folks over there and will stand by the club in a pinch.
 Atlanta really is not in it with the Ba- rons for the players here are a lot of fair weather guys, who will go to the mat when 1t comes to bucking against an uphill fight That Is just where the Ba- rons are at home. They like a hard bat tie and can stay there just as long as rhe next club and get the gaff every time they show head. Atlanta Is not fight ing club and has to get off in the lead to make a good finish"
 You get out" said the man on the sec ond chair, "and go hand that gulf to somebody that don't know any better. That Birmingham bunch of sore arms and warped legs don't know the rules of the game"
 Good morning, MT. Collier" said Bar Der Joe, as the commissioner of public works came in the shop and dropped into his chair.
 How are you, sir, and what do you think of our ball club now?"
 Ut is the best we have ever had" said the commissioner, as he dropped a couple of sample vitrhed bricks from his pocket and came near hitting Barber Joe on the toes.
 My sentiments exactly. sir said Bar Der Joe, and what lot of players they are Up and going all the time, never tiring and always ready for fight to the end if one is necessary That is the right sort of men to have"
 .'It certainly is," said the commissioner, land 1t Is pleasure to see men play who you know have their hearts in the game and are not playing for the money they get and nothing more. The pest thins about the Atlanta club is it never gives up and just keeps on fighting all the time. win or lose
 That, sir said Barber Joe, shows good baseball sense. l have long known you were a well posted man and this IS only another evidence of the fact.
 '.I tell you, sir, that l believe good name for our club would be The Fighters. for they are always in the game and if they get off bad keep at it until they over come the disadvantage That is the only way to ever accomplish anything. Never say die. and our club never does.
 Come again. please sir for l love to meet a man who feels like do about our boys" Well" said the man on the second chair, what do you think of that?'-At- lanta Journal
