BASE HITS

Dolly Gray, who made his debut into the California State League from Bisbee, a few years ago, is making an excellent record this year and is now at the head of the list of pitch CTS in the coast league in the num- Der of games won.
 Karger, a former member of the Tucson team, is making more than good with the St. Louis team and with a better team behind him would have a record that he might be we'll proud of.
 The Prescott Grays are planning trip through the southern part of the territory, and will visit every town that has a team that cares to try conclusions with them. In Cochise county, Tombstone. Bisbee, Douglas and Cananea will have a chance to line up against them.
 The Globe team continues to play great ball and has so far cleaned up every team that has gone against them. They have not met, however. the Prescott team or the one or two other teams in the territory that are Playing good ball, and a game with one or other of the teams would make game that any sport would be glad of the chance to walk a mile or two to see.
 It has also been proposed that a series of games be arranged during the fair week at Phoenix among the various teams of the territory. The games could be pulled off in the fore noon and at the same time would help to materially swell the gate re- ceiptts of the fair The weather would be cooled off sufficiently by that time so that the teams from other parts of the territory outside of Phoenix could stand the heat to go there and play. By all means lets have them.

HUT AND HOTTER AS SEASON
 ADVANCES,
Baseball Interest In Territory Will Keep Up Until leader ship Is Decided One Wa; Or Another.

That the national sport is becom- ing a phase in Arizona is very evi- dent from the number of games of baseball that are played in .he terri | tory every Sunday and during the week days. There Is hardly town Of any size in the territory that has not baseball team and friendly games are played almost daily. Every town, of course, has its quota of baseball cranks and rooters that will SC out and root and holier themselves hoarse in order to cheer their fayor- ties on to victory. Today there will be played in the territory a number of games that the fans will watch for the scores with interest.
 The local team will cross bats with the team at Cananea today and a good game may be looked for. The Cananea bunch is composed ,of Ia number of players who formerly wore the Bisbee uniform. among the rum- Der being Ryan, Malcolm, Holt, Du- gan ayd Hodges. Rhinehart will pitch. The locals will line up as fol- lows: Boswell pitcher; Martin. catcher; Sheffield, first base; Bras hear, second; Forbes, slfortstop: Blair.- third; Angius, left field; Buch- anan, center field; Truax. right field.
 At Douglas the team from Fort Huachuca will meet the Elks, team and 1t promises to be a battle royal between tHe opposing pitchers, Cook for the Douglas Elks and Chace for the "boys in blue
 At Tombstone the nine of that city will try to take the scaIps of the Cor bett team from the "Old Pueblo" and a close game may be expected. The Tombstone team will make their in. tual appearance in their new gray suits and will .endeavor to chrfsten them with victory Crable will do the twirIing for the Tombstone team and Myron will do a like stunt for Tucson
 At Tucson the two local teams. the Groves and the Armstrongs. will try another round in the city tourna- ment The Armstrong team played in Globe last week and went down to de- feat by a score of IA to 3.
 At Prescott two teams will line up that promise to play the game of the season. A part of the Prescott Grays became dissatisfied and left the team and with several of the members of the Humboldt team, who recently disbanded, will try and take a fall out of the Grays. There is very bitter rivalry shown up among the teams and considerable money has already been put up on the game

0nIY Half Crop.

At Halifax Monday persons from
the various townships in the county
discussed the condition Of the cotton
crop. 1t was the general opinion
that the crop now promises not
more than half. One man who has
travelled through the county west of
the Wilmington and Weldon railroad
and also in Edgecombe said that in
some places there is not more than
one third of stand, and others said
that the stand is poor. All said that
the growth is very poor.
There is a fairly good stand Of pea
nuts, there was a difference of opin-
ion about the growth. Some said
that. the growth is poor while others
said it was fairly good considering
the age of the peanut, for the crop
was not planted as early as usual,
owing to the cold, late spring
Tne corn crop is reported fair on
heavy lands but poor on sandy lands.
There is a general complaint about
the scarcity of labor.
al told, the crop outlook in the
county was not good, and one very
intelligent man said that the peanut
crop is the only thing that can save
the farmers this year.

Few Complaints.

. According to notice given by the
county commissioners, they met in
Halifax Monday to hear complaints
of excessive valuation of property
by the assessors in the various town
ships in the county. The list takers
reported from the various townships,
and the commissioners accepted their
lists.
Not more than half dozen com
plants were made to the commits
sioners that property has been
valued too high; and Monday being
the only day set apart for hearing
such complaints, perhaps no more
will be made.
The fact that there were few com
plants before the commissioned:
speaks well for the work of the, as
SCISSORS throughout the county.

Death OF Mrs. Rosa |. MedfOrd.

Blessed are the dead who die ir
the Lord, yea, saith the Spirit that
they may rest from their labors.''
Into this rest entered Mrs. Rose
L. Medford in the 29th year of hel
age at her home in Scotland Neck or
Thursday morning July 18th, 1907.
Her health had not been good fo1
several years. She had been quite i'll
for the past four months and was not
able to leave her bed.
She bore her sufferings patiently
and said she was ready to die. Now
she has gone to be with her Lord
where trials and sufferings never
come. This is the faith that should
console her bereaved husband, sister
and friends and should be an inspira-
ton to them to follow her beautiful
example Of prayer and Bible reading
that in the end they may go to be
with her in peace and JOY forever
more.
Mrs. Medford had been a member
Of the Baptist church about II years
and had been always striving to en-
ter in at the strait gate and to walk
in the narrow way which leadeth in
to life. She was married to Mr..
Charley Medford in Scotland Neck
February 1891; and through all of
her last illness she had the unceasing
care and attention of her
most affectionate husband sister and
friends who did all that affection
could do to meliorate her suGerings.
But in the wise providence of God
she has been taken away from the
pains and sufferings Of uncertain life
that she may find rest and peace and
a home in the house not made with
hands eternal in the heavens.
The burial was in the Baptist Gem
etery about Il o'clock July 5th, 1907,
Rev. G. T. Lumpkin conducted the
burial service in the presence of many
symDathiZing friends.
The floral offerings wreathes and
crosses-Were beautiful and with
tender care were placed upon the
grave.
A solemn hush prevailed, the bless
ing was pronounced and the people
dispersed bearing in their hearts the
awe of that great mystery called
death which is but the opening of
the gate to immortal life and to the
light Of eternal things.
"0ne precious to our hearts has gone,
The voice we loved is stilled,
The place made vacant in our home
Can never more be filed.
Our Father III his wisdom called
The boon his love had given;
And though in earth the body lies
The soul is safe in Heaven"

dreary garb of black and the monk
solemn in his priestly robes.
After the grand march several
pretty figures We're led by Miss
Lizzie Smith, as Mary Jane, and
Miss Blanche Smith, as a japanese
girl.
Dancing continued until twelve
O'Clock when delightful refreshments
were served.
It was a pleasant evening greatly
enjoyed, and Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
are indeed host and hostess Of the
old school, charming in their hospi-
taIity making everybody feel at
home.
Among the masked figures were:
Miss Rebecca Smith, a belle Of 1882,
in black lace over white satin; Miss
Mamie Smith, q dainty figure Of
1880, in pink with bertha Of rare
old lace; Miss Emily Peters, colonial

The Score Vas a Tie.

In the game Of baseball here Fri
day between Scotland Neck and
Whitakers the score resulted in a tie,
each having made II runs. The
game was called at the end Of the
fifth inning on account of rain,
disappointing a fair sized crowd who
were eager to see game to the
finish. The boys were in rather poor
practice and did not play as good
game as they are capable of playing
with more practice. The roofing,
however, was superb.
Following was the line up:

Jim GOsbee, whose cabin is about mile and a half north Ot Haines, is missing, and fears are felt for his life. He has not been seen for about five weeks but his absence from his cabin was not detected until four of five days ago, Since that time g diligept search has been made, but DO trace of the missing man has been discovered.
 Tuesday l3 men joined in the search and hunted high and low. A systemat. ic inquiry has been made, but all efforts are unavailirg. No one atHsiues, the Chilkat or Chils cot canneries have seen anything of him.
 The cabin was locked when searched and some Of Gosbee's guns and his clothing were in it. It bore the ap- pearance of being only temporarily vacated.
 It is feared that Gosbee went hunting and accldently shot himself.

The White Pass Athletic Club has completed arrangements to give its annual Victoria Day excursion from this city to Whitehor5e this year as usual. It will be Saturday, May 18th, and will 5e operated on about the same schedule as previously. The Club got the same rate from nhe railroad for the train that it got last year.
 In order to avoid the use of the excursion by those who are seeking to get a cheap rate to the interior this year, the tickets will be sold only by the executive committee. They will sell to bona 6ds residents of SkagWay only, Others desiring to go or those Of whom the committeeman have any doubt about will be required to put up $2O for 8 ticket, 8 rebate being given them upon their returning to Skagwsy. The arrangements for the excursion were talked over last night at the executive committee meeting at the club.
 At the same time the prospect of getting a baseball team was canvassed and 1t was decided to organize one if possible. J. NJ. Tanner was made manager of the team and he will have l the boys out prscticing from this time nr
