LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Cotton In Biloxi.
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 When l arrived in Biloxi, Miss, to- day I saw large crowd of people that almost blocked the street. After in- yestigating l found a wagon with a bale of cotton, and after asking few questions, l found that this was the first bale of cotton ever brought to Biloxi. This bale of cotton was raised by T. F.. Campbell, on his farm few miles from Biloxi It was so closely wrapped in closely woven bagging that none of the cotton could be seen, and 1t differed in appearance somewhat from the usual Alabama cotton bale It weighed 515 pounds and its owner was offered $6O for 1t at once.
 When it was learned some time ago that cotton was to be planted in Han non county, E. W. McCrory, who was then in the clothing business, stated that he would donate a $15 suit to the man bringing the first bale into Biloxi
 MT. Campbell recognized MT. Me- Crory in the crowd and reminded him of his promise and though he is no longer in the clothing business Mr McCrory at once gave him an or der on a Biloxi merchant for the suit While the crowd still increased Mir John T. Peppard mounted the wagon took comfortable seat on the bale of cotton and counted out $75 and paid for the cotton.
 MT. Peppard stated he would have 1t on exhibition at the West End Fire company hall. The price paid for the cotton figures about 14h cents per pound.
 I am sure MT. Campbell went home dressed up.

FOR COMFORTABLE CLOTHES
GREATEST RAGE IN
 BASEBALL HISTORY

Cincinnati. October 9.-The members of the National Baseball commission left at noon today for Detroit to attend the opening game of the worlds champion ship series. which begins there tomorrow afternoon. No statement further than last nights official announcement of the con ditions governing the contest was given out. but President Pnlliam in an interview talked entertainingly of the champion ship race. He said:
 It was the greatest race in the his tory of baseball. And the best team un- doubtedly won.
 But there was great glory for other teams besides the winners in the battles that were fought right down to the last day
 All honor should go to the New York team for the gallant fight they made to bring the flag to Gotham.
 With practically only two dependable pitchers, they fought their way from lowly position to the leadership in the race, holding that place for long time by d display of gameness and baseball abil- ity that has rarely, if ever, been equalled in baseball.
 ''Plttsburg, too. deserves the limit or praise for the fight made by it's represen- tatives in the National league.
 As for the Chieagos, they are great, game able team. No other team suffered more through accidents and illness dur ing the season than the Cubs, yet they were never discouraged, but were always fighting among the leaders.
 So far as the National league race was concerned 1t was the greatest, cleanest baseball fight in the history of our or ganization The matter of the disputed same between the Giants and Cubs is to be greatly deplored, of course, but it was settled in the only honorable way that could be devised"

RevoIutionist Plot Suspected.

Askabad, Turkistan, October 9.-Dur- ing maneuyers of the Turkistan army corps today in the vicinity of Askabad, General Mistchenko, who played con spicuous part in the Russo-Japanese war and who is now governor general of Turkistan, was wounded in sham battle A revolutionist plot is suspect ed The general was watching the operations from a slight eminence, when the whistle of bullets was heard. He was struck in the leg above the knee An adiutant of Mistchenko's was lightly wounded. The maneuyers were suspended and the weapons and ammunition of the troops examined. Ball cartridges and traces of shots in the barrels of several rifles were dis covered.

Battle Wis Afternoon
 WiH Be Fasf And Furious


 witness some of the fastest gridiron work seen in long while.
 The Alabama team is confident of de- feating Howard. although the boys feel assured that they will face hard propo- sition. Howard has hopes of achieving victory. The Baptists are about 50 per cent stronger than when they faced Au burn last Saturday, and Coach Counsel mans aggregation does not consider Ala bama as formidable as Auburn.
 The appearance of Alabama this after noon will be the first of the season. There are many hundred Birmingham fans who desire a look at Auburn's possible oppo- nent, and for this reason well as the fact that the game will be well worth the seeing, the attendance this afternoon will probably be very large. The game will be played at West End park and will begin at o'clock promptly.
 Coach Wallace of the Birmingham High school is referee for this afternoon, while Prof. Harry Miles will umpire. Tutwiler is head linesman.

New York October 9.-President Brush of the New York National Baseball club late today emphatically stated that the matter of the alleged tie New York-Chi- eago game of September 2S will not be taken to the United States courts in the form of a request for an injunction pro- hibiting the Chicago club from playing the worlds championship series with Detroit, beginning tomorrow
 We are too good sports for that" said MT. Brush. We shall not contest the matter further. We believe the pennant is ours technically. But, so far as we are concerned, the matter will remain as it is

'I want 1t to appear on the minutes that I charge that witness with perjury I will submit a written state. ment notifying you of the position I take and I want it to go on the record.'
 MT. Brothers returned to the room be- for the inquiry was resumed after a short recess.
 After reading the testimony of Col. l.. G. Pratt, member of Congress from New Jersey, previously given, Colonel Pratt was recalled and asked if he had stated at any time that a commission of 20 per cent was to be paid to any member of the commission or any employe.
 No, I did not state that. zbut I un- derstood that percentage was to be paid for installing the plant of the successful bidder" he replied.
 Had you ever met MT. Brothers before your trip to the Isthmus?"
 "No."
 Did he say to you that he wanted counsel and that he would pay for it?'
 He did say that he would pay for any assistance in getting the contract."
