They'll see their mistake after the
first game and get down to workout
they had best go into the game with
their minds to do nothing but play
ball and play to win from the jump"
Local fans are waiting with interest
to see this series and the series to
follow with the Parker-Blakes, which
is an even stronger aggregation than
the Postals. If the Only Ones tie
the Postals in one game and win one
game they will make showing to be
proud of and will be nerved up to the
right pitch to tackle the Parker
Blakes.
OF course some of the fans and
some of the team won't like this kind
of dope" but plain truth which gives
a man chance to prepare for trouble
is far better than that false friendship
which fills one up with hot air and
lulls him into false security which
puts him to the bad.
The Daily News is the friend of the
team and has so proven all along. but

The "never-been-defeated" team
that Meridian sent to Hattiesburg for

straight games taken from Meridian's
crack amateur team. for the only

by score of 9 to A.
In yesterdays game, however, there
were only five of the Meridianites, the
other portion of the team being Hat
tiesburg players who went into the
game SO as to make the sport little
interesting for those who were buy
ing tickets to see baseball.
While there were local players on
the team they couldn't cover the entire
field, infield, bases and furnish the bat
terry, too, so the score stood to at
the close of the game--and the least
said about the attempt at ball the bet
ter. Why, it wasn't even a good prac-
tice game for the Hattiesburg cracker
jacks
Today, the "Only Ones" went to
Laurel, to engage that aggregation,
which played five innings here the

trips to the Office to sign up their
papers, then four trips to collect the
money, and at the outset would have
to pay the ordinary four dollars, and
sixty cents for express charges. Now,
can you see any benefit to be derived
by the pensioners i'll making the
changeq I believe the change was
made in the interest Of the state, and
the ordinaries Of the different coun-
ties.
The state would gain by putting
the money out at interest, and the
ordinaries would reap the benefit of
three dollars and forty-fve cents ex-
ira. Now, my idea is that bringing
this prominently before the public,
our lawmakers will change the act
at its next session, as I would hate
to think the act was prepared on pur-
pose to injure the old pensioners.
While every one is singing of our
great prosperity it is not for the old
pensioners, for it costs double to live
now what it did few years ago,
and their earning capacity has dwin-
died to nothing. Hoping that you
will give this your earnest consider

So it seems that the learned Doctor
forgets that politics is the science of
government; and that it is just as
much mixing" with politics for one
party to oppose prohibition as it is
for another to favor it.
The bishop also sets forth queer
logic when he would have us believe
that an issue-a governmental question
has been set back or injured by
people advocating and voting for it.

may well be troubled in his mind.
That locker dodge may give the peo-
pie more trouble than all the blind
tigers ever caused us.
Under the recent prohibition act it
would seem to be possible for a num-
ber of men, in any county, to go
through the form of organizing club,
and secure for themselves all the
whiskey they want, by paying the
$500 tax.

In all of your statements, absolutely
correct. He was the hired agent to
do the dirty work in the rape of the
Central Of Georgia Railroad He
could not have succeeded in the theft
unless there were in collusion with
him parties who were placed in posi-
tions to protect the stockholders, but
who were false to them and, I believe,
sold out to knaves. If you have the
data-particulars- you give
them to us?
The names of the entire nest of
robbers we will be glad to know.
l see that our sweet-tongued ora
tor, Mr.. John Temple Graves, is still
advocating political miscegenation.
Does he really expect good to come to
us from such an unnatural union?

There have been some gentlemen

to run a club or locker, or a place

There seems to be the idea gone

locker.
