Atlanta, August 29.-In just three brief weeks will come the wind-up of the race in the Southern league and the eighth race will have come to a whirlwind finish.
 If Nashville gets away with the rag 1t will be the only club that has accom- plished the feat three times running.
 Here is the way the clubs have finished in past pennant races: 19O1-Nashville, Little Rock, Memphis, New Orleans, Shreveport, Chattanooga, Birmingham, Selma.
 1sO2-Nashville, Little Rock, New Or 1eans Atlanta, Memphis, Chattanooga, Shreveport, Birmingham.
 19Os-Memphis, Little Rock, Shreveport, Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham, Mont gomery, New Orleans.
 19O4-Memphis Atlanta, New Orleans, Birmingham, Nashville, Little Rock, Shreveport, Montgomery.
 19O5-New Orleans, Montgomery. Allan ta, Shreveport Birmingham, Memphis, Nashville, Little Rock.
 906-Birmingham, Memphis, Atlanta. New Orleans, Shreveport Montgomery, Nashville, Little Rock.
 1907-Atlanta, Memphis, New Orleans, Little Rock, Birmingham, Shreveport, Montgomery, Nashville.
 If Atlanta finishes in the second divis- ion this year it will be the first time such thing has happened
 Birmingham is going to finish last for the second time In Southern league his- tory.
 Little Rock, Mobile and Montgomery are the only clubs in the league which have not won pennants. The Travellers finished second in the first three races, and have not finished in the first division but once since then.
 No Managerial Changes.
 The signing of Greminger as manager of the Montgomery team for next year makes it possible now to get line on next years managers
 Bill Smiths contract with the Atlanta team still has a year to run, after the close of this season. The local baseball association is willing to let it run. There has been some question in the minds of Atlanta fans whether or not Bill will stand the gaff that goes along with a losing proposition. But probably he will
 Bill Bernhard's contract with Nash vile runs out this fall and Bill has not yet decided whether or not he will re- turn as Head Volunteer. It Is suspected that Bill will want a raise in salary before he signs again and on the strength of the showing he has made this year he is certainly entitled to it. Molesworth will of course lead Birming- ham next year. t
 In the west no changes seem to be impending. Of course Dutch Charley Frank will again manage New Orleans Charley can have that job for life if he wants it. The same is true of Char ley Babb in Memphis and Mike Finn in Little Rock.
 Tom Fisher is the only man whose job is in any way in doubt. However, Tom has done well this year with a chear team and should be back on the old jot next spring.

UMPIRE LAROCQUE
 NOW A BENEDICT

Columbus, Miss, August 29.-The re- cent Cotton States season is responsible for a love affair of which a wedding sol emnized this morning proves to be the elimination.
 Umpire S.. H. Larocque and Miss Flor ence Chamblee, daughter of Mrs. A. F. Chamblee, were married at the Catholic priests home this morning at 10 o'clock Miss Chamblee is quite popular here and enjoys a wide circle of friends. She is In her twentieth year and is very prer- ty.
 Umpire Dad Larocque has passed forty-six summers and looks good for many more. The couple left for an ex- tended trip through the east. Their home this winter will be in Que bec Canada, where MT. Laroque has business connections. It Is probable that the Southern league will get the services of this popular umpire next season.

VAUGHN'S DEMAND
 IS DISREGARDED

Harry Vaughn, former leader of the Barons, promises to have a row in tho Southern league or $1200 which he claims Birmingham owes him.
 He first appealed to the local associa- tion, and was informed that the associa- tion held that it could fire him as easily as the substitute4b boy. Thus rebuffed he turned to Judge Kavanaugh, threaten ing, in case Kavanaugh failed to make good the amount to carry the case to the national commission. Secretary Clark Miller informs R. H. Baugh that the communication was thrown in the waste basket or otherwise disregarded.
 Unless Vaughn is bluffing or eventually shows the white feather the case will go to the national commission.

Should Savings Banks Advertiser
From the Brandon Union

The Hyde Park Savings bank be.
lieves in advertising, notwithstand-
ing that some institutions in the
same line have criticized them quite
openly for this belief.
Regardless Of all criticisms, how
ever, the Hyde Park institution has
kept on advertising, and as a result
the president, Carroll S. Page, says
that during these months of financial
stress in which many banking insti-
tutions have been struggling to hold
their own, the money has been
ste adIly and freely pouring into the
Hyde Park bank.
No better illustration Of what adj
yertising will do could be asked for.
OF course the Hyde Park bank has
got the goods, the Vermont public
likes the banks plan Of keeping YER
mont money in Vermont, and also
likes its record OF having been run
tor nineteen years without losing a
dollar by bad note.
Yes, the Hyde Park bank has got
the goods, but the public might never
know it if the bank didn't advertise.
1t started out to get deposits and
the results justify the method. 1t
also furnishes very good evidence
that advertising pays.

The Rotten Borough System
From the Boston Transcript

The cry Of the "rotten borough
is again raised in Vermont and thi
to wnof Somerset in Windham county
which cast just seven votes at the
recent town election, is the text Of
several able preachments in tine
State press. Somerset sends one
representative to the lower house O!
the Legislature, and such places as
Burlington, Rutland and Brattleborc
have no more Members of the State
Senate only are elected on popula-
tiCn basis.
This plan worked well in the early
days, when community life was more
concentrated than it is now, but in
the change that has been brought
about by the decline of the smaller
towns matters have come to such a
pass that reform is needed. How to
bring it about is problem, since
the towns are extremely jealous Of
their privileges, and any attempt to
curtail their representation would
have but a slim chance Of passing
the Legislature, so many of whose
members represent constituencies OF
the sort which would suffer by the
change,
Somerset was once a vigorous town,
but for the last half century it has
been steadily taking the back track
Its sonse and daughters, the best
blood of its people, have gone. Its
population has dwindled, the woods
have invaded its farms and under
brush chokes the cellar-holes where
the homes of the first settlers stood.
1t still goes through the form of a
town meeting when seven voters get
together and sort out the plums
The two men who do all the local
ofiice-holding serve alternate years,
the one as town clerk, road director;
the other as lister, auditor, trustee of
public money, grand juror, agent and
school director. There is little for
them to do and the opportunities for
graft" are microscopic. Here is a
significant bit of town correspond
ence from the county paperi
There will be no schools the com
ing summer as no money was raised
at town meeting for this purpose
No school report was sent in last
