Home Team
Again Takes
Odd Game
Brownsville Players Meet Unexpected
ly Strong Team From RockpOrt
and Have Hard Series.

On Saturday and Sunday the
Brownsville BASEBALL tam entertained
the aggregation from Rockport and
defeated them in two very close and
wll-played games. The third con-
test was lost by the locals through a
combination of loose fielding and
weak hitting, much to the disappoint-
ment of the local fans, who had hoped
for three straight. The score, 60,
shows the first shut-out of the season
for the local team. AS in previous
series the pitchers were the stars, at
the expense of the batters. Only
nineteen hits were made in the three
cams, ten by Brownsville and nine
by Rockport. The first two games
were probably the best games played
by the home team this season; at
any rate they were the closest and
most exciting.
First Game.
The first game was well played
from start to finish. Fast fielding
and effective twirling by Wheeler and
Kring made runs come slowly. Rock

batter had smashed hard to right for
three boys. The locals got nothing
but goose eggs until the fourth, when
with two gone Raymond drew pass,
took second on Kring's bingle to
right, pilfered third and galloped
home when one of Wheeler's benders
got away from McDonough. In the
eighth, Kowalski lined to right for

Hundreds of people in the north
and west expect to come to the
Brownsville country in the fall, eth
er to invest or to improve land they
have already purchased in this sec
ton. Almost without exception these
people are regular subscribers to the
Weekly Herald, and it would surely
pay the leading land dealers as well
as other business firms all over this
section to carry an ad in the paper.
Those who come to buy land will
want to know about the land bar
gains, and those who come to locate
and improve their land will want to
know where to buy their household
goods and farm implements. 1t pays
to advertise, and there is no better
medium in this section than the
Weekly Herald. This applies to the
merchants of San Benito, Harrington,
Mercedes, Hidalgo, as well as those
of Brownsville.

Third Game.
The third game was productive of
goose eggs and disappointment for
Brownsville. The work of the home
team showed a decided let down in
quality compared with the two pre-
ceding games. With the exception
of a few unsteady moments in the
opening round, Cobolini's twirling
was gilt-edged and deserving of a
better cause. The visitors gathered
all their runs in the first and last
innings on two hits, two passes and
some weird fielding by the home
team. The locals should have scored
in the sixth. Ferguson first up was
passed and went around to third
when the catcher's heave to nail him
at second got away from sheldon
but the top of the batting list could
not furnish the hit needed to count
the run. Rorke's one-handed stab of
a ahrd liner and Linley's steady pitch
ing deserve mention.

THE OLD IND THE NEW.

The OLD IND THE NEW.
The old-tiner may be a little
conservative, or call it slow" if
you will, in adopting new things.
but let US not forget that it was
the old-timers who put up the
bonus that secured the railroad
which brought the newcomers
here. It was the old-timers who
pulled off their coats aud went out
on the hustings and carried the
election for the construction of the
water and light plant in Browns
vile, and worked with such good
effect as to make the unprecedented
record of not having a single vote
cast against the construction of
such utilities by the city. Just
convince the old-timer that his
support is needed for some deserv-
ing enterprise, and he will put his
shoulder to the wheel manfully,
and when he does get to work,
there is no halfway work done
either. The new corners have
done much, they have done won
ders, in fact, but the old-timers
also have done their part towards
the up-building of the Brownsville
country, and they stand ready to-
day to join hands with the ener-
getic newcomer to work for the
future development of town and
country.
The only way to achieve the
brilliant destiny that we all covet
for this town and section is for
old and new to work together for
its accomplishment. The new
blood that has been injected into
this section was needed, and its
effects are seen in the many i'm
provements now in progress or al
ready completed throughout this
valley.
But the older element, the pio-
neers who stayed by the country,
when times were hard, and VINO
laid the foundation for the present
development, who raised a splen-
did bonus for a railroad, not once
only, but three different times,
only to have their hopes disap-
pointed by the powerful influence
of gigantic railroad corporation
in Wall Street, and yet who strug-
gled on and worked against great
odds until they finally saw their
hopes realized, is also needed for
the work that is yet to be done.
The new and the old must join
hands and work side by side, put
all narrow prejudice aside, and
work together on a broad, up-lift-
ing plan which will hasten the
achievement of our common hopes.

THOSE NAUGHTY NEWSPAPERS

District Attorney Jerome got rea-
peeyish in an address before the st
George Society in New York 1t was
all right when the newspapers were
praising Jerome, but when they began
to puncture his pretentions, he took
different view of the matter.
Still, after the newspapers have
expressed their opinion of Mr.. Jerome
it is fair to allow him to express his
opinion of the newspapers.
He says:

THE STORMS TOLL

AN EASY "BLUFF."

The Rome Tribune-Herald has
| made a grave charge:
I'm his speech Smith said he would
drive foreign capital out of Geor-
gia."
In common fairness the Tribune
Herald should substantiate its state
ment. We call for chapter and verse.
Otherwise it stands convicted of the
''wilful diffusion of political error with
regard to matters of fact. Atlanta
Journal, April 25th.
To read this effusion of the Atlanta
Journal, the casual observer would
think that it might be a little difficult
to substantiate the charge While
we hold no brief for the Rome Tri-
bune-Herald, which is amply able to
take care of itself, the opportunity
is too good to let pass to puncture
another one of Hoke Smiths balloons
up.
1t is no charge to say that Hoke
Smith said eh would drive foreign
capital out of Georgia 1t is merley
quoting history, and that too within
the past two years. The columns of
the Journal at the time contained the
statement, which was afterwards sent
out as a campaign document by
Gov. Smiths manager.
But to the proof which is demanded
with such bravado:
In his Madison speech in the last
campaign, Gov. Smith was reported in
his paper, as saying:
"'Let us demand that legislation be
passed which will prevent the opera
ti0n OF railroads in Georgia by foreign
corporations. Ii we forbid the Oper-
alton of railroads in Georgia by for
eign corporations, those foreign cor
pOratiOns which own the railroads will
be forced to sell or lease them to
corporations organized in Georgia, and
this course will effectually bring
all railroads within the state into the
hands of domestic corporations"
In his speech at Warrenton little
| later, Mr.. Smith said:
Il have insisted that the state
should not permit a foreign corpora
ton to perform service which involves
public duty. An act providing for
the DEMONSTRATING foreign railroad cor
porations would amount to nothing.
Any state however, can forbid a
foreign corporation from operating a
| railroad in a state"
We are frank to confess that in
this instance Gov Smith has carried
out the pledge of Candidate Smith.
This is one claim put forward for
| him which we allow.
1t was an evil day for Georgia when
| Hoke Smith became Governor. His
| defeat would mean an invitation to
capital, his reelection a menace.

tom Watson in Jeffersonian.)

AS to the Acknowledgement law, it
grew out of the speech which Mr..
Watson made in Atlanta on the night
of September 1, 1904 Following this
address. in which Populist aid was
publicly pledged to the Democrats if
, they would, in good faith, propose the
Acknowledgement of the negroes in
order to bring about political indie
pendence for the whites, Congressman
T. w. Hardwick visited Mr. Watson
at his home, and proposed such an
alliance between the Democrats and
PopuIists Mr. Watson agreed and
he and Mr.. HardWick both contemplate
ed the Hon. Pope Brown as the can
didate who should make the race for
governor, with a Acknowledgement
plank as the leading feature Of his
platform. Mr.. Pope Brown entered
the race accordingly, and every
thing appeared to be moving as we'll
as could be expected, when suddenly
without any consultation with Mr.
Watson or any previous notice to
him, Pope Brown was retired and
Hoke Smith substituted. After this
was done, there were several weeks
of hesitation on the part of Mr. Wat
son before he finally decided that, on
account of the principle involved he
would go forward and carry out, in
good faith, his part Of the contract.
The rest of it is we'll known. When
it appeared probable that the legisla-
ture would adjourn without acting
upon the disfranchisement law it
was Mr.. Hardwick who went in per
son to Atlanta, and, by the. hardest
kind of work, finally secured the
passage Of the bill, Now, that the
legislature has acted upon it, the fate
of the measure is in the hands of the
people. They vote upon it as a sepa-
rate issue at the October election, and
neither candidate for governor has a
thing to do with the result of the
ballot In other words the disfran-
chisement of the negro is now an is
sue which is up to the people, and
the people themselves pass on it, for
or against, when they vote for COVER
nor in October.
The Jeffersonian, is not, at present,
for HOke Smith nor for Joe Brown. 1t

but we think it due to our readers that
they should have an unbiased and
honst opinion, from time to time, on
matters touching the campaign.
Let the people be careful whom
they send to the legislature. That is
the point of danger, Whisky can
not be brought back unless you do it

selves vote for the amendment in
