Abner Persch, commonly known as
Dutch, will again appear In the

signing of McLear, and Joplin needed
an outfielder. He will succeed young
Brooks, a friend of Paul Cobb.
Brooks is yet shy on class but he will
be retained for next season.

Louis Americans is after the

Joplin Globe says he would fit nicely

Globe says Cobb could hit fifty points
better than Jones. Who says the

Five times during the series with
Oklahoma City the young Georgian

three times Of which found the bases
filled, but on not any of the five
occasions did Cobb secure a safe hit.
Evansville Courier: Bayless of
Dayton has made a record swat at
Wheeling. He placed the ball over
the right field fence, gave it speed
enough to dig through a row of will
lows and dive into the river. No ball

many experiences as that one off the
bat of Mr.. Bayless-in the Wheeling
grounds, at any rate.

Mcfarland Had Brock Knocked Out
When Referee stopped Bout.

Los Angeles, Aug. S.-Packy Nc
Farland won from Phil Brock before
the Pacific Athletic club in the seventh
round last night. There was no
knockout. Referee Eyton stopped the
fight and gave Mcfarland the victory
when Brock was in the last stages of
distress. having been beaten through
the ropes and chased across the ring
with a rain of blows upon his bleeding
face. Brock carried the fight to Me-
Farland after the beginning and
fought gamely to the last.
Mcfarland knocked Brock down in
the second, but Phil was up at the
count of seven. The bell saved Brock
in the fifth round, when he was hold
ing desperately to Mcfarland while
the latter rained a shower of hooks
and uppercuts on body and head. At
long range fighting Mcfarland had
much the best of it, his leads being
clean, his reach long and his measure
of distance accurate.

JOE WOOD BALKS.
The Kansas City Pitcher Wants Boston
to Pay a Higher Salary.

Boston, Aug. s-President Taylor
has heard from his latest acquisition,
Joe Wood, the Kansas City pitcher.
Wood balks at joining the Red Sox, as
he wants a Cy Young salary and re-
fuses to report unless this is forthcom-
ing.
The Red Sox magnate offered Wood
a salary about half as much again as
he got from Kansas City and he would
draw an extra months pay, owing to
the length of the American league
season, but the inducements failed TO
land the pitcher. Wood adds that he

A TERRIBLE OFFENCE CHARGED.

From the first issue Of the True Dem
ocrat it has been our policy to publish
in these columns as little of outrageous
and scandalous happenings Of general
nature as possible, believing such being
for the best interest Of all concerned
and that such matter is not fit TO be
sent broadcast in to the homes Of this
newspapers readers. Hence in the sew
eral cases Of outrages committed in this
State, and of such cases and trials as
the Thaw case, ETC., it has been very
notable and favorably commented on by
our readers, that our newspaper had
been clean of such stuff and we have
often times been congratulated on it,
and for our clean newspaper.
Now, however, a very serious offence
has been committed right in the shadows
of this city. A white man is in the
clutches of the law, charged with hav-
ing committed the very serious crime
for which almost every week is chroni-
cled in the press of the country mob
uprisings which hand out quick and des-
perate punishment to the fends who
commit such crime AS to what evil
dence will be produced in this case we
do not know, since a lunaey commission
has taken testimony as to the mental
condition of the accused and have not
yet reported their findings to the court. .
To the credit of our whole people, both |
colored and white, there has been as
yet no excitement or rash talk or action,
all seeming perfectly willing that the
law should take its course and justice,
full justice, If the act committed be
proved against the accused, shall be
melted out to him. The fact that the
was a negro girl, does not
lessen one whit the degradation and
shame that now rests upon our cOmmu
nifty, and all who have expressed them
selves to this editor. denounce the crime
most severely, and liz is the universal ex-
preston Of all that a quick and speedy !
trial be had, the true facts be gotten at
and that justice shall prevail. All ex-
pressions are that the situation places
Leon county in a very awkward and
position, and all prayers go
up that the case shall be handled in true
keeping with facts and justice to all
When the trials shall come of we
shall give the public the facts, in
clean way, in a plain and impartial
manner. Our citizens, white and col
ored, are to be congratulated on the
good order that has prevailed under all
The trying circumstances. May such an
offense never be committed in good old
Leon county again by any kind of a

Denunciation of serious crime goes
out to all perpetrators Of it, makes no
difference who the offender may be, or
whether he be Of the highest or lowest
of the races but when a white man be-
comes so low as to put himself in an
awful degrading position, swift justice
should be melted out to him as quickly
as to one of the lower races.
