BEST SEASON
 IT EVER HAD Compact Circuit Helps
 Southern League. FIVE CITIES IN A STRING Mobiles Plans Not Given Out, Rut Dale Gear May Manage. Long Railroad Jumps Are To Be the Exception With the Different Teams During the Season of 1908.
FIVE CITIES IN A STRING

The baseball season of 1908 promises to bc the most successful. financially and otherwise, the Southern League has ever had, if anything like a fair break is had with the weather.
 The addition of Mobile makes the Southern circuit almost perfect. Five Of the eight towns are directly in line on the Louisville an Nashville Rail- road. Beginning at the extreme south end of the circuit with New Orleans. and coming up the line to Mobile. Mont gomery, Birmingham and Nashville, all of them are on straight line and long railroad jumps will be very rare.
 shreveport deal was printed in The Ad- vertiser the other day, things are be- gtuning to be made public, and yester- day mornings press dispatches carried bought the franchise of Temple in the Texas League, together with a number of the players there.
 None of the plans of the Mobile peo- pie have been given out yet, and the question what town will take it's place in the Cotton States League is undecid- ed. While it is fairly certain that Mo- bile will have all, or most, of their last years toam to draw from next year, Kay will be manager of the Mobile out 1t next year. st
 The Advertiser has 1t from pretty good authority that Dale Gear will ern League next year. Gear is un- questionably 6 good man--he has long since found out the huge mistake that he made in understanding the South ern League when he took charge of the Little Rock team several years ago.
 With the experience that he has had in the South, he should be able to give the Mobile people a ball team that will make any of them go some.
 Local fans certainly hope that both Mobile and Birmingham will have fast teams next year, for it's a cinch that Ryan Is going to put swift aggresa- ton in Montgomery, and the rivalry be- tween the three Alabama towns should be something that will make things interesting.

VIII Organize a stock Company.


 The preliminary steps in the forma- tion of another stock company, whose purpose will be to bore for oil in Will cox County, was begun here today. The new company is being organized by MT. W. A. Anderson of this city, who owns a large tract of land in Wilcox County and upon which there are very favor- able indications of oil.
 The organization of this second com pany to bore for oil in the wilcox County oil field. Is caused by the most favorable indication which Is being found by the McWilliams oil. Gas and Mineral Company, which is now sink ing a well near Mcwilliams. In the boring of this we'll during the past few days. small quantities Of crude pestroleum have been found.
 oil in larger quantities were found fin this we'll while the work of boring was going on last Saturday, and 1t Is now believed that a gusher VIII be brought fin by tho company in less than a week. These bright indications Of the finding of oil is leading to the formation of the second company which hopes to start the work of sink ing a well upon their properties In about month.
 The people Of Wilcox County are very much enthused over the prospects of finding oil in that county. Since the indications have been so favorable, nroperty in that section has advanced rapidly and every citizen thinks that the future of the county is very DrIgnt and that before a year passes number 0f large s.. seH zszellls zVtll he now ing in many parts of the county

CHARGED WITH PEoNAGE IN WILL

Examination of Negress Dora Kettles Occupies Attention of First Day
 of Sesaion of United . stafes Court.

.. Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Nov. Il.
 The case of the United States vs, J. w. Cooper of Wilcox County was called this morning when the United States Court convened at 10 o'clock.
 MT. Cooper is a well-known and prosperous planter of Wilcox County, and he Is being tried on the charge of peonage.t 1t being alleged that he held in peonage for the period of fourteen years a negro woman now known as Dora Kettles. Mr. Cooper was arrest cd on the charge of peonage nearly two years ago. and the case was con- tinued at the last session of the United States Court in this city.
 At the time he was arrested for peon- age. it was stated that the negro wo- man had been held by Cooper in slave ry for fourteen years. That he had induced her to move to his plantation while she was a small girl and that since that time she had run away once or twice. but that MT. Cooper had all ways followed and brought her back.
 The entire morning session of the court was taken up in the examination of the woman, Dora Kettles. She was kept on the witness stand for about three hours. She stated that she had been held on the plantation by MT. Cooper for fourteen years. and that during tnat peFIO0 nE. SooPCI h1o often whipped her, using anything which he could get his hands upon 70 whip her.
 To the jury the woman also related how she had run away and had been caught and brought back, until the last time she had left the place, having been helped in this instance by some white men who lived near MT. Cooper. During the fourteen years which she had been on the Cooper place. the wo- man said that she had been given VI by Mir. Cooper and that was while she was in Mobile to Mardi Gras. Of this amount, she told the court that she had bought two presents for the wife of Mfr. Cooper, the presents having cost her about 80 cents.
 The case of peonage against Cooper will probably take up several days time of the court. There are about seventy-f five witnesses, both white and black, in attendance on the case, and who are yet to be examined.
 The case is causing good deal or interest and a large crowd of specta- tors was present during both sessions of the court today.

MINE CAGE FALLS;

FEARFUL ACCIDENT IN JONES &
LAUaHLlN SHAFT AT NEG
AuNEE, MICH.
Brake Fails to Work-Miners Hurled
Down rs Feet-Seven Found Alive
But Fatally Injured-Distressing
Scenes on Surface.

Negaunee, Mich, Sept. 21.-By a
cage plunging rs feet down the shaft
of the Jones & Laughlin Steel COM
pany mine, II men were killed and
seven fatally injured Friday.
The cage with it's human freight
was being lowered on it's first trip
for the day when the brake on the
hosting drum suddenly failed to hold.
Two other men sprang to the assist,
ance o f the one at the brake wheel,
but their confined efforts did not
avail and the wire cable continued to
unreel from the drum like thread
from a bobbin.
Cable Breaks, Cage Drops.
The cage shot down a couple of
hundred feet before a kink in the too
rapidly paying out cable caused it to
part and from that point the cage had
a sheer drop to the bottom OF the
shaft. The safety catches with which
it was equipped failed to operate. The
surging of the cable tore out part of
the side of the engine house and rip
pSO OuC oCNSld al VI luC ouSdfCS Ill duo
about the s%hafthouse.
The machinery installed is not en-
tirely new, but it had been thoroughly
overhauled and the officials cannot ac-
count for the sudden ~ineficiency of
the hosting gear. The accident is the
worst that has occurred in any mine
in the city since the cavein at the Ne
guanee mine January T.. 1902, en-
tombing ten men.
Seven Fatally Hurt.
Workmen at the bottom of the mine
Immediately set about the grewsome
task of removing the dead. Seven
men were found still alive, but they
are fatally hurt.
Thousands of people soon congre.
gated about the main shaft. In the
crowd were the wives and children of
the 200 men who are employed in the
mine. Each thought that husband or
parent or a son was in the cage. There
was no way of relieving the suspense
as the fallen cage blocked the exit.
1t was fully two hours before the
cable was adjusted so that the cage
could be raised to the surface.
When all the miners came from In
der ground and many anxious wives
and others failed to find members Of
their families who worked in the
mine, the scene was awful. The priests
and ministers moved among the peo-
pie %consoling them and begging them
to be calm.

looking vines, which he leaves to run
on the ground, not training them al

,see the large clusters of fine looking
fruit growing in the same manner as
melons or cucumbers. The vines are
