there are other players who were ex-
tremely timid for quite a while when they
resumed playing after similar accidents
Jennings, before he was hit on the tenn
pie by one Of Amos Rusie's swiftest
shoots (and Amos speed was so terrific
that he was dubbed the "HoOsier Cy-
clone'), could not be driven away from
the plate, and won many game for the
old BaltimOres by refusing to dodge or
duck inshoots: but after Amos hit him on
the head Hughey used to whisper. we
never speak as we pass by whenever
ball would whistle by his face. Hughey,
who was a splendid batter before being
hit by Rusie. gradually fell off in his
batting due, no doubt, to the accident
It was nearly two years before Hoffman
could regain his confidence at bat after
receiving the terrific blow Tannehill gave
him. and it was feared that he would
never regain his eyesight at the time. 1t
can be noticed now that against left-hand
pitchers Hoffman is very timid. and no
doubt It was caused by the blow he got
for before that all pitchers, either left
or right-handed, looked alike to him.
Connie Mack has often said that before
he was hit Hoffman was the best player
he ever saw, taken altogether, in batting,
running. and fielding. Danny has recov-
cred much of his Old-time ability, II he
has not all of it.
Then there was "Black Jack" Burdock.
who was knocked out and nearly killed In
Boston by one Of Tim Keefe's inshoots,
and Tim could sizzle that kind in. too.
Burdock, like Bresnahan and Elberfeld,
had the habit of running into the ball,
but BLACK Jack never took any more
chances that way. and for some time
after he returned to the game he would
turn as pale as a sheet whenever ball
whzzed anyway close to his head.
That has been the experience of lots Of
other players who have taken the count
/ by the inshoot route.
/ II was reported during the past week
/ that the Cleveland owners and Manager
Laioie contemplated getting a new third
/ baseman 10 nh Bill Bradley's shoes. 1t
was even reported that Bill was disgusted
/ with his poor showing at the bat and was
ready to take vacation. Manager Larry,
/ however, would never hearken TO bench
! ing Brad as he considers him the
/ greatest Of all third basemen. He says
/ Brad will be kept in the game even if
/ he doesn't average two hits a week from
now until the end Of the season. A new
/ player at third now would prove a severe
/ handicap for the Maps, as their entire
work afield would be broken up. Although
/ Bradley has fallen off as a heavy hitter
/ he has developed wonderfully as "A sacri-
/ flee hitter, and right now heads the en-
/ tire league in this department. Instead
[ OF driving IN the runs himself he has
| been advancing the runners from first TO
/ second and second to third by clever
/ bunting depending upon either Stoyall,
/ Lajoic, or Turner to bat the run in
1 Bradley is far from being done as a
major league star. and there are just
| about seven managers in the American
I League and eight In the National who
would jump at the chance to secure Bin.
Larry. however, says there IS nothing do
ing. and he is wise.

urer, spent Saturday in Oxford.
Mr.. Miller is a candidate for In
surance Commissioner, and is
growing in popularity every day.
This is a very important position
and every voter should think well
before he casts his vote for a po-
sition that affects the great mas
SEES of the people. Mr.. Miller is
fully able TO represent the people
lie chosen for this office. He is
one of them, understands their

HON. EARL BREWER.

Last Saturday night a large
crowd of representative citizens
Of the town and surrounding
country, including many ladies
of the town, and also many OF the
citizens of Water Valley, assem-
bled in the court house to hear
Hon. Earl Brewer, candidate for
Governor.
Mr.. Brewer went into the dis
cussion OF vital questions ut once.
His subject might have been
termed The Enforcement OF the
Highest Order of the Law" He
argued that the law should re-
quire the man in the mansion
with the brown stone" front to
respect and obey the law the
same as the humblest citizen.
He opposed the merger of the
Mobile and Ohio railway with the
Southern in utter violation of
law; he paid his respects to the
"bucket-shops," saying this form
of gambling was leaving nothing
but wreck and ruin wherever they
operated. He explained how as
district attorney he had driven
these dens OF lawlessness out OF
his district, and, that il elected
governor, he would use every
effort to see that the law was en-
| forced against this evil and that
the railroads throughout the en-
tire state should obey the law t
the letter. Mr.. Brewer believe.
| in honesty in office and that IS;
public Office is but public trust,
and that all laws should be en-
forced without fear or favor.
His remarks about his oppo'
neEts were dignilied and courtc
Gus.
With reference to the Brewer
Scott letter, of which there ha
been so much in the papers, h
made most satisfactory expla
nation, the whole history of the
matter was gone into in deta
and the entire audience was full
i convinced that Mr.. Brewer ha
been badly misquoted and mis-
treated by his enemies. This ex
PLANTATION won for Mr.. Brewe
many who had opposed him o
this account; even the friends {
Mr.. Scott acknowledged that thi
explanation was satisfactory
every respect.
Many in the audience ha
known Mr.. Brewer from child
hood and knew Of his early strua
giles for an education; they HAY
watched him pitted against II
; best talent of the bar and fe
pride in his success.
Mr.. Brewers speech was VIZ

The Salary OF County Supcr;ntcnj-
cnt


Quite an erroneous impression
has been put forth in various
places in the State, as TO how the
superintendent salary is fixed.
In some instances, we learn, the
superintendent is being accused
by his opponents of working"
the Board of Supervisors and
thus getting raise in his salary.
1t might be Of interest to our own
county to know that in our county
our Board has seen tit to allow
the superintendent only the mini
mum allowed by law. Ii the Board
had not done SO his salary under
the law would have been more
than $500 in addition to his pres-
ent salary.
The law is as follows, Code Of
1906, Chapter 1901: "And the
(superintendent's salary is fixed
Mt . per centum Jf the total school
fund received by the county an
Hu"iis prONiGci the
Board of Supervisors may tx the
salary of the county superintend-
ent at an amount between 81, 200
and 81 800 without reference to
the school fund"
II the Board OF Supervisors had
not fixed the salary at ST 200 per
year then his salary rs stated
(being ) per cent of the school
fund.- would have made the sal
airy over 81 ,400. Hence the Leg
isla tuTe fixes the salary and un
less the Board should allow more
than 1900 in counties having
the funds we have, there is no
chance to "work" the Board.
