Shipments are In just about proper proper lion
to the demand and what hay has been arriving
seems to have been placed without apparent
d1fnculty and without either lowering Of prices

General business conditions seem n tribe bet-

easier, although the teaming and draying in
terests of the city still complain bitterly that
they are not running more than about 80 per
cent of their normal force. More active move
ment from the city authorities will aid business
conditions little aud the approaching festiy-
tiles over the feet, with the consequent great
crowds that will visit the city, will probably
cause somewhat OF a movement in the various
lines of trade.

gray oats have been sown this year for hay

Wild Animals are Cheap.

Among the genuine bargains at the
Glasgow animal sale were a brown
bear which brought sis, and per.
forming elephant which went for $500,
and a number of wolves which aver
aged only $3.50 apiece. Animal deal
ers say that twenty years ago these
animals couldn't have been bought for
twice these sums.
Although once the animal market OF
the world, London now has compare
lively few large dealers. Most of the
British steamship lines have abolish
ed the practice SO common years
ago of allowing captains to bring a
few wild animals from foreign ports
as a sort of perquisite, and now
charge high freight on what they
term risky cargo" These new ar
rangements have diverted importa-
ton to continental ports, where no
such restrictions exist, and the big
dealers of today are to be found prin-
cipally in Hamburg and Antwerp.
Pumas which now cost 5000 to i'm
port into England can be picked up
at Antwerp for $50. A fine rhinocer.

three cents night to entertain a way

piece of bread and various convent
ences, including boiling water, for
making tea. Besides the Englishmen
benefited in twelve months there were
405 Germans, 228 Americans, 145
Italians, 130 negroes and forty-nine
Frenchmen. The cost of endowing a
bunk for year is $40. Several work
men not long since paid 500 for sup.
porting two hunks, and found that dur
ing the year the beds gave rest to 317
different men, with an average of two
nights and a fraction for each sleeper
for the year. After what may be call.

tobacco are allowed to smoke until

BOOSTING WILLIAMS.
New York World Suggests John
Sharp as Presidential Timber.

New York-Under the caption, ga
Jeffersonian Candidate,'' the World
brings forth John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi. as timber for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination. The
World is waging a bitter fight on Bry
an to prevent if possible, his third
nomination for the office of the ma
tion's chief executive. According to
the World, there are sixteen able dem
ocrats well qualified to hold the reins
of government, and under the general
heading. Democratic Presidential
Names-16 to L." the name of Mr..
Williams is presented. The minority
leader is No. 10 on the Worlds list.
The editorial follows, in part:
"There are Jeffersonian Democrats
left in the party--men who are truly
in sympathy with jefferson S theories
of the government and who seek to
apply those theories to the public
questions of the day One Of these
men is John Sharp Williams Of Mis-
sissipti.s
.';For fifteen years Mr.. Williams
has tepssented the Yazoo District IN
congress. For five years he has been
the leader of the democratic minority
on the floor of the house. In the Mis-
sissippi primaries last summer he was
chosen to the United States senate to
succeed" II. D.. Money, and the state
Legislature has formally ratified the
choice of the people:
kMr. Williams was educated at the
University if Virginia ard the great
German University. of Heidelberg. No
man in congress is sincerer student
of public questions or a more conscien-
tious legislator. No democratic lead
er ever strove harder to make the mi
nority a real force in the enactment
of legisls on for the benefit of the
whole country and not mere parti-
san opposition to the majority.
"Mr. Williams represents the DEM
ocratic element of the democratic par
ty. IL Jeffersonlon Prlclples are to
be preserved, in the administration OF
the American government the Democ
racy must surely look to men like
John Sharp Williams for guidance,
counsel and leadership.
Gin the opinion of the World no
list of sixteen democrats eligible, avail
able and qualified for the nomination
for president would be complete if it
did not include Mr.. Williams name.
The World therefore presents him as
candidate whom all true democrats
could honestly, consistently, and con-
scientiously support, either in ma
tional convention of their party, or
at the polls on election day"

Reign of Terror.
A startling story was told to Gov.
Noel of reign of terror and black
hand outrages in the southern part of
Lawrence county, covering period
of more than month, resulting in
the assassination of one man, the at
tempted ASSASSINATION of another and
the threaened assassination of a
third, who fled from the county to
save his life. The story was told by
j. r. Sauls and w.. B. Forman, the
former having been shot and badly
wounded by would-be ASSASSIN. The
victims of the outrages thus far are
J. NJ. Rials and J. 7. Arnold, the
latter prosperous merchant. The
governor gave the complainants a
careful hearing, and promised to have
an official investigation made.
To Be Amended.
Following the passage by the senate
of the statutory prohibition bill, there
is little doubt that both houses will
soon adopt Gov. Noel's suggestion
and pass bill calling for constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting the sale
of liquors within the state. By so do
ing it will prevent the measure being
brought up at every recurring legis-
lature and will place Mississippi per-
manently in the prohibition column.
The bill was passed in the senate by
a vote Of 36 to 4, the men opposing
it being McLaurin, of Warren, Nc
Donald of Harrison, Gibbs of Yazoo,
and Baird of Sunflower. The bill will
go to Gov. Noel for his signature. Sa-
loon licenses will be terminated Dec
81, the state refunding the pro rata
amount on those not expiring by that
time.

Fence in Wilmington
Altoona Game

ALTOONA, May 15-Wilmington de-
feated Altoona yesterday by the score
of to 2. Hartley's fierce smash over
the middle field fence IN the ninth in
ming tied the score and gave Whining
ton the chance to beat Altoona, and
thus force it out of its position in the
race.
Hartley was in the game UP to his
eyes. twice making remarkable catches
and completing double plays that kept
Altoona from scoring. Glassburner
gave but two bases on balls. both to
Manager Grady, and they turned up as
runs. Both twlrlers worked finely, but
jackson was invincible after the fifth
inning Rain stopped the game and
gave the Wilmington twirler rest
when Altoona was getting to him
lively.
