1t works, but 1t shows up the runner if it fails. But a little daring on the bases and pulling off the unexpected will help to win games.-Arkansas Gazette.
 It is said of Moose Baxter, the first baseman secured from St. Louis by Mont gomery, that on one occasion when re- proved by his manager for not covering more ground, he naively retorted: Say. I can't be In two places at once. e."-Nash- vile American.
 There is no rule for deciding which pitcher shall have credit for victory or defeat in the event of a change in the box, but 1t is more or less of a custom to credit a removed pitcher with a victory if his team was ahead when he left the box, says the New York Sun. But better way to decide the point Is to con- slider the situation and circumstances at the time-that is. make a common sense ruling. For instance, the New Yorks were one ahead when Wiltse left with the bases filled and nobody out, and Mathewson, by good pitching prevented more than one run from being scored. If ever any, body was entitled to the credit of vic- tory Mathewson is for that one.
 Two games between the Pelicans and Pretzels have impressed one fact on the local 1anS, Vlz., Inat montgomery IS as strong in two departments as any other club ip the league. It is hard to pro- duce a better catcher than Seabough, and a better first baseman than Baxter won't be found on this circuit
 But Seabough and Baxter won't win many games by themselves. Neither will they win many games with the present inefficient aid. The outfield Is not at all bad, but the rest of the infleld is ai- most too bad to be true.-New Orleans Item.
 As the Nashville players drove by the City hospital after the game, one of the boys threw kisses at the nurses standing on the front steps. It's good idea for the Dobbers to stand in with the hospital people, for they may need attention If the Memphii continue to lambast 'em as they did Sunday.-Memphis News Scimitar.
 The Pretxels are natural born hitters. They smash the ball all over the lot, and half the time they're losing they make enough hits to win dozen games. But when 1t comes to playing baseball. thoyte about the punkest over. They can't run bases. they can't bunt Half of them can't field. Even with their heavy hit-

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

In Molesworth, Manager Vaughn has one of the most finished performers seen on the local outfeld this season. At least his work thus far has stamped him as such. Yesterday he again got in the limelight by taking a sure safety away from Johnny Carr It happened in the seventh. Carr, who was first up in that inning, hit one close in over second. Molesworth was playing back, and came in like a quarter horse. He succeeded in getting his gloved hand under the fast falling sphere and then pulled off great juggling act amidst great applause. He robbed the Pirate shortstop of what would have been his third hit of the game and what Johnny said after the episode wouldn't look good in print-Shreveport Times.

LAKE DIsARMED A
FILIPINO WAR PARTY

Singlehanded and alone, Detective
Harry Lake stood between the fair
city of Honolulu and war party Of
bloodthirsty Filipino warriors yester-
day. When Horatius kept the bridge
he had trusty friend on either hand,
when the Spartans held the invading
army at bay at Thermopylae it took
three hundred to do the trick but
Lake saved the sack of Honolulu all
by himself and blushingly declares
that he only seen his duty and done
it" The detective from the County
Attorneys department just happened
to be on hand when the steerage pas
sengers from the Hongkong Maru be-
gan to come ashore yesterday. Among
these were some thirty Filipinos, re-
turning to their native isles from the
jamestown Exposition, where they had
been impressing the people of the At
lantic seaboard with the desirability
of admitting the Filipfnos to full citi-
zenship by doing dog dances and other
stunts in a side show These arrayed
in full plumage, began to come ashore
here, with a possible idea of giving
an exhibition and gathering in a few

But they reckoned not with the vigil
ance of Lake. AS soon as he
caught sight of the first bolo he acted.
TransdXing the armed man with his
glance, he ordered him to get back on
the ship and take off his carving
knife. Other Fflipinos carrying their
bolos came down the gangplank, but
each was stopped and called upon to
surrender, disarm or climb back to his
berth.
These vigorous and prompt steps
awed the armed men and not a bolo
was barred on the streets all through
the afternoon.

Mrs Aline DePasse, 776 D. 165th St., New York, N. Y, writes:
 Tt gives me pleasure to testify to the curative qualities of Peruna and Manalin.

time 1t seems impossible to make a big crop and we have every reason to be- lieve that we will have good prices In the fall. The increasing demand by the spin ners of the world for cotton, the phenomi- nal prosperity of all cotton mills, the ability and disposition of cotton growers to hold their cotton for a better and more equitable price. the small supply of good cotton on hand all tend to indicate as we have said, better price for our staple product. In case as 1t is believed the worlds consumption will be greater than the production during 19O7-OS, then the cotton crop will command a price much higher than for many years past.
 More Unity Needed.
 Perhaps the law of supply and demand has less to do with the price of cotton than with other products of the farm or manufacturing industries. This may be owing to several things, one is, the lack of d unity of action among our people .nd the disposition of each individual to seek his own interest without regard to the effect his action may have upon the community of interest. To illustrate this our farmers too often sell their cotton In the early spring, even before 1t Is planted to be delievered AS fast as gathered and made ready for the market, and though some may claim this to be a business proposition. 1t is evident to the thought ful mind, that this action will materially interfere with business propositions as put forth by the Southern Cotton associa- ton or Farmers union. These organiza- tions. we are glad to say, are moving along lines to put us in position to sc- cure not n fabulous. but an equitable price for this international commodity.
 "It is stated upon what seems to be good authority that the mills have sold their products months ahead on a basis of 15 cents for the raw material As- suming this to be true. then the farmer should get the price fixed by the mills themselves which would give both a legitimate profit on their business.
 "In case a full crop should be made this season. that Is, much as twelve and one-half millions of bales then there is no reason for any alarm, because the worlds increased demand for our cotton will take every bale and the price should not decline

IS BUILDING MONUMENT I

Gadsden, June S.-(SpeciaL)-John Hill, a white man, was arrested at his home near Hokes Bluff last night by two police officers, on suspicion of being man wanted in Georgia, for murder. Hill de- nies all knowledge of the crime.
 He asked to be allowed to change his clothing before coming to town with the officers, and stepped into another room. The officers became suspicious and on going into the room found that their pris- oner had stepped out of back door and was making off to the woods at full speed. but they soon had him in tow again.
 He was brought to Gadsden and locked up. The crime Hill Is charged with was committed at Cedartown sometime ago. Aih admitted that he had moved from that place to Hokes Bluff only few weeks ago.
 Building Monument.
 At a meeting of the Gadsden chapter, Daughters of the Confectionery, yesterday, if was decided to continue the erection of the Emma Sansom monument at the foot of Broad stret, overlooking the Coosa river, and not to remove 1t to the court house square as has been pro- posed
 Every effort is being made to have the monument finished by the 4th of July in order that it may be unveiled on that day An elaborate programme is being prepared for this occasion, and citizens and Veterans from the adjoining counties will be invited to be present.
 Public Hospital.
 Fifteen of the most prominent physi- clans of the county met last night at the Carnegie library to consider further plans for the establishment of a public hospital in Gadsden. The meeting was a most enthusiastic one and the demand for such an institution met with the full approval of all those present.
 It is proposed to organize a stock com pany and erect a modern building, adapt ed to the purpose. Committees were ap- pointed to confer with the county and citv authorities and another meeting will be held soon to perfect the details. HeffrIn Resigns.
 Announcement was made today of the resignation of Hony Heffrin, superin- tendent of the local plant of the Ala bama Consolidated furnace, which will take effect on July l. MT. Heffrin will be succeeded by J. w. Reese. who comes from Virginia, and is said to be an experienced IurIaceIhdi- MI. iieliii lds only been here few months, and has made many warm friends, who regret his departure. The new superintendent arrived last night and is inspecting the plant and surroundings.
 Boy Is Hurt.
 Henry Schley. a white boy 15 years old, was severely injured by being dragged by H cow which he was leading. Young Schley was thrown to the ground and his body was dragged some distance over rough ground and stones. The attending physician has been unable to tell just how seriously he is hurt.

WILKINSON OFFERS OPTIMISTIC SALVE Issues Address to Cotton Far
 mers of Alabama SUGGESTS A LATE FALL Though the Crop Will Undoubtedly Be Short, the Commissioner of Agri-
 culture Hopes for
 Good Prices.

Montgomery. June s.--(Special.) .)-While 1t is little early to predict crop short | ages 1t Is quite plain to Commissioner of Agriculture Wilkinson that the cotton out put of Alabama for the present year is l in danger of falling below what might have been exepected. In an address issued l today he says: At this time 1t seems im possible to make a big crop and there i is every reason to believe that we will 1 have good prices In the fall" He ad- vises the farmers not to dspair nothing that 1t is early in the season and good crops may come from very late plant ings." He has noted that one extreme generally follows another and suggests that I've may yet have a late fall in which to gather our crops" The inter view follows:
 At the request of some friends, ad- dress this letter to the farmers of Ala bama, calling their attention to several things that concern them at this season of the year.
 "The government report which has just been published, shows that the general cDnulLlO0 ol lIlc tpllOu tlOp 10 fibOul " per cent of what we might term our gen. eral average. It also shows that the area planted and to be planted in the south, equals that of last year. It shows the condition of Alabama to be 65 per cent of an average crop and the acreage l planted per cent less than that planted last year.
 Overestimate Made.
 "on June 4. when this report was made, 1t was probably somewhat an over-esti mate of the conditions in Alabama. We have information from many points over the west and think the government report Is higher than the information that has been furnished this office as to conditions west of the Mississippi
