WHAT OTHERS SAY.

From Memphis came the story both Friday and Thursday that the Birming- ham players who had an off day in that city had been licking up the suds and looking at the bottom of the cup that cheers, until their ideas of baseball and other, things had taken on a somewhat unsteady gait.
 For that reason Memphis expected to sail over the heads of the Barons and win in walk.
 But there was disappointment fin store for the Turtles and they lost to the gents who had been celebrating instead of talk ing victory from them.
 A favorite inscription in German tav- erns is a quotation that says: "One good drunk makes all young"
 It may be that the Barons fell heir to this belief and instead of waking on Friday morning with aching brows that they arose feeling very chpper and ready to trim the enemy which they did with out the aid of horseradish.-Atianta Journal
 It's pleasant to note that tho Barons are licking something.
 The Barons report the usual guarantee at each New Orleans game, which does not speak well for the former back bone of the league.-Memphis Conner cial Appeal

 Count Castro the great little short stop of the Atlanta team, will not be able to play today nor for some days to come having a bad behaving wrist and finding it necessary to keep 1t bound up and bandaged with remedies known only to his mysterious South American peo- ples. Sid Smith is hitting home more runs than any man on the team and Is making the best record of any.-Ex- change.
 Cast1o's injury is another sad blow for Smith.
 If there had been less discord in the ranks of the Barons at the beginning of the season Birmingham would be in the first division now and fighting for the fiag-Memphis News Scimitar.
 There's no way of explaining the situa- ton, so let 1t go at that.
 You've got to hand 1t to this big boy Keith for being about the best young pitcher in the league. Of the nineteen games in which he has ofhciated, six have been shut-outs For a left-hander, his control Is little less than marvellous. In these nineteen games he has given but twelve bases on balls. In ten games he has not walked batter.--Arkansas Ga zette.

YOUNG GIRL HELD AS AN ACCOMPL|CE Family Trouble Results in Her
 Arrest BIG EDUCATIONAL RALLY Negro Is Brought Back for Trial In Another Case After Serving Two
 Years at Hard Labor In
 the PenItentIary.
BIG EDUCATIONAL RALLY

Huntsville, August 26.-(special )-The sensational murder of Charles Drake, a well known young farmer, by his cousin, Houston Clark. at the home of P. Over ton, In the Poplar Ridge precinct, a few days ago, has had another development in the arrest of Miss Magic Overton as an accompliee in the murder Miss Overton is the fair-haired daughter of the man at whose home the tragedy occurred. She implicated by evidence adduced in tho coroner's investigation and her arrest fol- lowed immediately. Today she was brought to Huntsville and admitted to 5000 bail after hearing before Judge Betts in the law and equity court.
 Clark and Drake were first cousins, and they had been having trouble for some months. They met at the home of Over ton and after a quarrel, Drake was struck over the head with a heavy stick and almost instantly killed. Clark went to the city and surrendered to the sheriff. The only statement he has ever made was that he acted in self-defense.
 One of the largest of the many educa- tonal rallies that have been held in Mad ison county this season was held at Berk- ley Saturday under the auspices of Coun- ty Superintendent Butler. Addresses were made by Professor Butler, R. E. Pettus and others. and a barbecue dinner was served the profits of the affair being added to the fund that Is being raised for the building of a new school house at Berkley.
 Numerous rallies of this kind have been held in all parts of the county in the last few weeks, and there is more interest in education and more new school houses be- ing built than ever before.
 After having served a term of two years at hard labor for burglary, Percy Bransford, q negro, was today brought back here for trial on a similar charge in another case. The Karthaus jewelry store was robbed of several watches and diamonds two years ago by thief that smashed. the front display window with a rock. Bransford was captured later with several watches in his possession, and his hands were badly cut, presumably by the broken glass
 The citizens who think the City Council acted wrong in electing board of educa- ton under the municipal code bill, and displaced the board that had been created a few days previously by the Spragins hill. have set about to raise fund of 5000 to contest the matter In the courts. Feeling has been aroused to high pitch over the matter, and 1t Is regarded as certain that the control of the schools or the city will be contended for on legal grounds.

Chairman DAILY
Claims the State

Il can see nothing but victory in
all of the No-License Districts in
this State on November 5th next.
We have met the liquor interests
on every proposition and have COM
pletely refuted every argument that
they have advanced. We have
proved beyond doubt that all con-
dltions will be better in every dis
trict in this State if No-Licensef
shall prevail. and we have proved
also that taxes should be lowered
instead Of raised. In my Judgment
Kent and Sussex Counties will be
carried by the No-License forces by
at least a thousand majority in
every case, and that Wilmington
and Rural New Castle will be car
ried by our forces by good major
tiles. The liquor interests are de-
pending upon using large sums of
money for success and this fact
alone has brought hundreds of vot-
ers to the support Of the No-License
ticket"

awful conditions that that law brought

any well-thinking man could hope by
passing a prohihitory law TO remedy
the evils Of the abuse Of liquor I cam
not understand how a well-thinkng
man could vote for such a drastic law
which means the financial ruination Of
more than 100 men. Closing up the
bars means the consumption Of liquor
in the homes and carries the tempta-
ton into the family circle. One re-
spected woman said 10 me that her
husband took an occasional drink and
il the bars here closed she feared he
would go 10 Philadelphia. where he
would fall into bad company and IL
would be worse than IL he had stayed
