 Wagons loaded with toys are being hauled to storehouses and already those who will deal in fireworks are displaying their signs. The dry goods houses have their windows radiant with attractive furs and winter gowns. The jewellers have out their manicure sets. cigarette boxes and small JewelTy that will fit most any pocket book. They are not so far ahead of time when one stops to think that 1t is just

CHARLIE BABE IS BUSY
 DRAFTING NEW MATERIAL

Charlie Babb is not overlooking any bets when 1t comes to drafting new material for his 1909 Egyptians. A telegram to The Advertiser from Mem" phis last night states that the two latest grabs of the Memphis manager are Emerson of the Tri-State League and Schmidt of the Arkansas State League.
 Emerson is a pitcher who was with League last season. His best season was in 1907 when he was with the champion Willlamsport team of the Tri-State League. In thirty games that year he got nineteen hits and bats ted an even 200. He won fourteen and lost seven of the twenty -one games he pitched, and If he can do that down here he will be all right in the South : orn League. Schmidt Is catcher and ia q brother of the Schmidt that caught last year for the Tigers in the Amerl- can IARRue.

Everything that you desire for a quarter. and anything that looks good to you for a little less"
 Bearing this motto sn honeyed tongue, and provided with a choice as- sortment of picturesque language, A. J. Roe, a white man, appeared before the negroes out on Sharp Street like a messenger from some promised land.
 He show is a 'commodatin white mans" said the negroes to whom Roe paid his attentions. And all the while Roe was receiving the quarters in re- turn for his magnifcently generous be- havIor.
 The police, however. have been watching Roe with considerable care, engendered by a well defined suspicion that he was not philanthropist, ana he was arrested Saturday by Ofncers Taylor and Marshall on the charge of suspicion. When they had hime safe' the officers began working up the case. and as a result. thirteen charges of false pretence were yesterday en- tered against him. the first charge ot suspicion being also changed 10 that of suspicion that he might not nave 10 contend with the unlucky number thlr- teen.
 The mans game was simply this: RenresentinC himself as the agent ot a large mercantile house, he, during tba mast week. visited almost every ne- gro house on the 100 block of Sharp gtreet. and with unprecedented con edence in the dusky race, ohered to sal1 them anything and everything they needed. might neeo, or yrisbad. for the small consideration of whatever cash they had on hand. He would of course. send in the order to his house. and some day, very soon.
