WEAVER VICE PRESi-
DENT OF COTTON
STATES LEAGUE
PS. MERRILL, Of JACKSON, ELECTED
PRESIDENT. WILL REMAIN A
SIX TEAM LEAGUE.

At "a meeting Of the directors
81 the Cotton States League held
in Jackson Thursday afternoon,
Mr. p. S. Merrill, Of Jackson,
was elected president, and Mr..
Walter Weaver Of this city. vice
president
The following from the Jack
son Clarion-Ledger will be read
with interest by the baseball low
ers of Columbus:
The directors of the Cotton
States Baseball League met here
at the Edwards House Thursday
afternoon late and elected p. S.
Merrill of Jackson president. and
Walter Weaver Of Columbus, vice
president, The representatives
present being A. c. Crowder, p.
s.. Merrill. II. l.. Harris, A. l..
Lewis. j. w. Ferguson, Eugene
Graham, Judge Lyell Of Jackson,
Walter Weaver of Columbus, M.
~. Haas of Monroe. La, A. ID.
Haire of Gulfport, G. ID. Mass of
Vicksburg, j. J. Kennedy of BIZ
loxi S. NJ. Sugarman Of Merid-
ian. Mr. G. ID. White attending
as representative Of the Spalding
Company.
There was no reason President
a. G. Crowder should not have
been reelected, and certainly he
would have been, save for the
fact that he had declared posi-
lively he would not serve if elect
cd, his duties as mayor of Jack
son and manager Of the Pruden-
tial Insurance Company being all
he could attend to.
However, Mr.. Merrill will fill
the bill to the entire satisfaction
of the league. He was not a can
didate. but he is one of the most
enthusiastic baseball men in the
State, knows the game thorough
ly, has been on the board of di-
rectors Of the Jackson association
two or three years, is exceeding
~ popular with all the fans in the
country, and will serve.
The Vice President, Mr.. Wea-
yer. is the backbone of the Co
lumbus ball team, and will see to
it that his town comes to time
during the next season.
The Cotton States will remain
as a six team league, with Jack
son, Meridian, Vicksburg, Co
lumbus; Gulfport, Biloxi and
Monroe, La. 1t was thoug hit
that perhaps Natchez and Helena,
Ark, would ask for admission
into the league, but they did not,
and the league will stand just as
last season.
The pennant that was won last
season by Jackson was the only
ornamentation attempted in the
meeting place, and it was for
mally presented by President
Crowder, who attended to its
purchase while in New York last
fall.
II was decided that the usual
reward of 500 would be offered
for the best schedule of games
of next season, and that there
should be as last year 120 games
70 be arranged for.

FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. 20. 1878.
MARINE DISASTER.

The four-masted schooner Charles s..
Hirsch, from Brunswick, Ga, for Bslti-
more, lumber Ia len, was driven ashore
on the North Carolina coast dnriug 3
severe northeast gale yesterday. The
vessel lies on the shoals of Paul Gamiels
Hill, so miles south of Cape Henry.
Three of her masts already have been
wa,bed out aimee she struck, and unless
the seas subside she probably will be
dashed to pieces.
The captain and five OF the eight In
the crew OF the wrecked schooner were
rescued. These w,rs brought ashore 10
the breeches buoy, and told OF the drown
Jog OF the other two, one of whom vas
the cook, before the buoy liue could be
shot across the vessel by the three life
ayipg crews standing BY and powerless
to launch lifebosts.
The two victims were caught under
the crashing masts OF the vessel and
crushed to death. Efforts were made to
rescue the two men, but they we're swept
away by the waves breaking over the
schooner. The remainder OF the crew,
pending rescue, we're forced to seek the
shelt Of the aft house TO escape SINH
lar fate.
The combined efforts OF three life-ssv-
ing crews, from Paul Gsmiels Hill,
Kitty Hawk, and Osffey's Inlet were
necessary to rescue the irperiled men.
Exhausted and hopeless, according to
Capt. Hunter, the men we're about to
give up when the life-savers got line to
the ships.
Reports from the scene lsst night are
to the fleet that the vessel Is rapidly
going to pieces and the beach Is Uttered
with lumber.
Wrecking tugs have gone ont from
Norfolk 10 aid vessels reported 10 be
sirsining at their anchors near the point
where the Charles s. Hirsh went
ashore. The storm continues with great
fury snd 81 sailing vessels ct sea are IN
danger. The wind of this cosst blew
yesterday at the rate Of 40 miles an hour,
with seas mountain high.

HOW TO PATCH GARMENTS.
Success of Work Depends Chiefly
Upon the Material Used.

In the majority of cases the patch
is sewed on the wrong side of the
garment, although in serges, merino,
cashmere, and other wooden goods it is
sometimes hemmed or scanned on the
right side, having the wrong side over
cast The success Of patching de-
ponds upon the patch, which must be
square and which must match, to a
thread, the goods on which it is placed.
Many people suggest raveling some of
the threads of the material for use,
and this is a good plan if they are
sufficiently strong to be worked up,
but this is often not So and if this is
the case thread which matches the
material in quality and color should
be used
The edges of the patch should be as
fat as possible. Great care must be
used not to pucker them when sewing
The finishing touch is to lay damp
cloth over it on the right side and
press well, making it so smooth as to
be invisible.

HIRED HEADGEAR FOR WEDDING.
How a Veteran Silk Hatmaker Would
Retain Some of His Trade.

How a Veteran Silk Hatmaker Would
Retain Some of His Trade.
In little shop near Clements Inn
there lives a veteran hatmaker of g
summers who hopes that the day of
the top hat will come again this year.
Piled against the panes of the win
COW fronting HOugtOn street are rows
Of silk hats of varying shapes and
degrees of glossiness. In front two
handbills, bearing the imprint of an
Old-itme printer Of BOuverie street,
announce that Christopher Clarke has
for sale a variety Of silk hats, ranging
in price from As. Cd. to los. 3D. each.
On a circular board hung over the
door, it is stated, that silk hats may
lie hired for weddings and funerals
Trade is nothing like what it was,'
he confided yesterday to a member
of our staff, land orders for silk hats
are not nearly so plentiful as they
we're when I started in the business in
1884. A good hat doesn't wear out
every day, and it can be remade quite
equal to new"
The lending of hats, he added, is
not a very important or lucrative
branch of the business, and it was
only adopted three or four years ago
to assist in retaining some Of the
trade that was slipping away. One
shilling per day is charged for the
liam of smart up-to-date hat for use
at a wedding or other social function.
