CHARGE OF PEONAGE IS
 DISMISSED ON HEARING
James Payne, of LetohatchIe Released and Has Negro Arrested for ViO-
 Iating Written contract

The case of James Payne, of Leto- natchie, charged with holding a negro, Ed Bettus, in peonage, was heard be- fore United States Commissioner FL more yesterday morning. The case against the defendant was dismissed upon the evidence presented.
 It appeared that the negro, Bettus, had made labor contract with MT. Payne and had violated it after a few days work. He was arrested and ta- ken to Letohatchie, where he pleaded guilty before Justice of the Peace. the negro, and then made a written contract with him to serve on his farm until he had worked out the amount of the fine and costs. The negro remained at work only a few days and came to Montgomery with his family, and charged MT, Payne with holding him in peonage.
 As soon as Mr. Payne heard there was such a charge against him, he came to Montgomery and made bond of $500 to appear before the Commission CT when the case came up for trial.
 After all the evidence was taken yesterday morning, the attorney for the defense asked that the Commissioner dismiss the charges against the pris- oner on the governments own showing, in which request Assistant District At torney Thigpen concurred. The Com missioner thereupon dismissed the case against the prisoner.
 Almost immediately upon the dismiss sal of the case against MT. Payne upon a warrant sworn out by him charging violation of a written contract, Bettus was re-arrested. and lodged in the County jail.
 Last night he was taken by Coasta- ble Moseiev of Lowndes County back to Letohatchie, where second trial of the negro will be had.

EVEN KEITH
 LOSES GAME Maxwell Wins From Finn's Travellers. BOTH TWIRLERS FIGHT HARD Locals Take the Contest by the
 Score of 3 to 2.
Rhodes Scholarships Seems to Weak en After the Seventh, and Bunch. ed Hits and Squeezing Bring
 in Winning TaIlies.

It looked very much as if the last game that Rhodes Scholarship" would pitch against Malarky's outfit during the season of 1907 was to be clean shut-out.
 Keith was working for record, as this is his last year in the South. He sails for England on the 2Sth to take his Rhodes Scholarship course at OK ports to the St. Louis Americans, which club drafted him, returning to Oxford in the fall of 1908.
 Bert Maxwell was in against him and was also trying for a record He had games pitched and yesterday would make 1t thirteen out of the last four teen, if he won. "
 And he did that very thing, outpitch- ing the great Keith and getting good. snappy support.
 Up to the seventh inning only two hits had been made off Keith and four off Maxwell, the Travellers getting a run each in the first and sixth innings. No two of the hits were punched on Maxwell, a wild pitch in the first and a base on balls and wild pitch in the sixth causing the runs
 The locals had been able to shove but one man over the plate and it looked as If the game was likely to end ? 50 1.
 Towards the end of the game Mike Finn's long pitcher began to weaken and in the seventh a couple of hits were punched on him. One run had already been brought in by the locals in the sixth when Miller let Balls hit get by him out in left field. and in the eighth couple of punched hits with neatly worked squeeze play by Ma and won the game.
 Page opened the first half of the first inning by smashing one out to deep left for two bags Gilbert walk n6 pnalSnn6nI6 hal both. Maxwell struck out Stark and it looked as if he would get out of the hole, but an unfortunate wild pitch let Page over the plate. Miller ended 1t with a fly to Ball.
 Page walked in the sixth, was sac rihced to second and reached third on a wild pitch, scoring when Rockenfield hit one past Maxwell.
 With one out in the last half of the sixth Ball drove one to left that Mill Ter fell down in running for and the ball went to the club house, the run ner getting to third. and counting when Hess let Henline's sharp drive get away from him.
 With one out in the last of the eighth Henline beat out a hit to Rockenfield and reached third on Perry's drive to center. Then Malarky, who was hit ting in Nadeau's place, got off with a and Henline dashing over the late with the run that tied the game.

 It looked squally in the ninth when, with one out, Rockenfield beat out a hit to Ball, and reached second on Stark's hit to Wye. This made two out and hit would tie the game. if not win it. Maxwell showed his worth. how ever. by coolly striking out the hard hitting Miller-and the game was over. the locals having the big end of a 5 to score.
