Reason Restored.

Controlled by Jealous rage one dty.
woman's hand was raised TO slay.
Then through her own poor murd'ress' head
A second bullet swift was sped.
The courts in all due course OF time
Declared her guiltless OF the crime.
Because, forsooth, her troubled brain
Has simply driven her insane.
In vain her suicide intent
And to a madhouse she was sent.
For ten long years TO ponder there
The bitterness of her despair.
The things on which she must reflect
Have not, as one might quite expect,
Kept her in growing horror bound;
For now her mind IL seems is sound.
So mercy grants her full release
And gently bids her go in peace.
And while she freely walks abroad,
Her victim sleeps beneath the sod.
But then. OF course, one should be glad
She's sane where others would be mad.

Redmond sacrificed him to second and was safe himself when Turner threw wildly to Douglass Schwenck made beautiful sacrifice advancing the runners and aft CT Henline had made a wonderful one handed stab of Murphys fly, OLeary crossed the pan without effort. In the eighth Memphis broke the monotony of the afternoon by going out in succession, and the ninth, in spite of a double by Schwenck and single by Carey, there was no scoring.
 Birmingham had but one chance to score and took advantage of that op- portunity In the first inning, as stated, the Barons got half of their total number of hits which were productive of no tangible results. The third hit fell to Molesworth in the eighth after two were down. and the fourth was drawn by Douglass in the ninth.
 But in the seventh, as result of the rest on account of the downpour. Schwenck lost control of the ball, and he was lucky to get off as lightly as he did. The Barons made no hit. but scored nevertheless. Meek opened with walk. Douglass forced him at second. Smith was walked but Walters forced him at second Larsen was passed, and before the third man could be retired O'Leary made wild heave to Carey in an at tempt to retire Larsen and Douglass dashed for the plate, landing safely The second game started during thun- derstorm and lasted but the one inning.

AZabama-AubuYn Game
By HUGH W. ROBERTS.

The alumni of the University of Ala bama and the Alabama Polytechnic in- stitute should take steps to the end that rivals Is played.
 There is no material reason why these institutions should play the school boy act, and for some trivial really imagi- nary differences. subject the athletic lovers of the state to a great disappoint- ment.
 To a great many the ensuing football season Is already without interest for the simple reason that the all-absorbing Ala bama- Auburn game Is not on the calen- dar.
 The football fanatics of Alabama do not care to see Auburn play Sewanee or the wearers of the Crimson White clash with Georgia unless the schedule provides. in addition for a game between the great rivals
 Some action should be taken also to bring 1t home to the athletic committees of the two colleges that they have all to gain and nothing to lose in the arrange ment for this annual struggle.
 It is the paying game of the year.
 It Is that game which causes the people to witness the other battles of the sched- ules.
 Both institutions will find ths seasc1s one of financial stringency in case rl.sJ' persist in their present intention of slight ing the wishes of those who support their athletic efforts.
 It is beyond all question that if the differences between the two were vital, the alumni of each institution would back up their respective alma mater and in- sst that the other knuckle under. But in this case, where the differences are so trivial that they are laughable, there is no alumnus In the state who does not consider the two in the role of fresh man thinking himself large enough for a seniors coat
 It will be with very poor grace that the athletic committees of the two col leges appeal to the alumni for financial assistance when they purposely and with out cause refrain from granting them their one desire
 It is the height of arrogance for these colleges to expect their alumni to rally

MONEY SCARCE IN
 THE COTTON STATES

Jackson, Miss. July 2s.-F ollowing the call of President Crowder for a meeting of Cotton States league directors, men from each of the six towns assembled ] here today for a mid-season conference, to talk over the situation, specific and generally. The attendance was made up of A. c. ,Crowder, president; D. s. Comp ton, Vicksburg; c. L. Oakley, Monroe; D.. J. Haire, Gulfport- Biloxi; Dick Thornton. Meridian; E. M. Baugh, Columbus, and F. s. Merrill, Jackson.
 The meeting was executive. Prior to the business meeting the rep resentatives sat together and compared notes as to the seasons results from a financial standpoint, and there was not one who did not have a glaring deficit to report, and In all cases 1t is probable that extra calls will be necessary in order to meet deficiencies.
 The conference continued until 2:15 O clock, and after adjournment President Crowder stated that, while they had dis cussed everything in a general way the important matter was the finding as to the penalties inflicted on Vicksburg and Meridian.
 When the discussion of the fine imposed on the Meridian team and Manager Full CT for the unprofessonal conduct at Mon roe. on motion of Monroe, the fine of $2OO was reduced to $50, which sum is to be assessed half on Fuller and half on Gelser. Fuller is, still with Meridian, though Geiser Is now with Columbus, but the players must forfeit the $25 each by August or be suspended indefinitely
 The fine of $100 on Vicksburg for un- professional conduct of her men at Jack son was disposed of the same way, by reducing it to $50. and then taking 1t out of the chief offenders, who in this par ticular instance were George Blackburn and Guy Sample. who must also pay up by August 5.
