Notes Of the Games.

I 1t turns out that Carrigan's finger was
broken in Saturdays game. He will be
out of the lineup for some time-a month
at least.
Three times Mcconnell was thrown out
by the pitcher in the morning game, and
the other time he famed.
The bleacherites 'were very quiet. One
chap who worked a pistol got his from
the police, and was escorted to the cooler
by cop.
Jake Stahl had peculiar combination
in the first game-a triple and three
strike-outs.
Chech is proving a big disappointment.
Manager Cantllon sent a trio home
tonight-Tannehill, Altrock and Hughes.
He certainly is all right ii he gets. 'em

There Is an oft-told story of a man in South Africa who wandered and searched for years in hope of finding a diamond mine, but finally became dis couraged and settled down in little home. One day. while digging in his backyard he struck what developed into one of the most valuable diamond mines of that country and became very wealthy. The moral of this story, we suppose, is that good fortunes often evades those who search for it with the most eagerness and pertinacity, but comes to those who wait. This man might have spent his life wandering over Africa without finding any treas- ure, but when he was engaged in the humble business of digging in the back yard, probably to plant onions. he struck it rich. So we suppose we may consider the moral to be that we should wait and be ready for the good that may come to us. Oh yes, there's another moral: dig In your back yard. If you don't find diamond mine you may find some fish bait.

 The river rose to fifty-three feet and de s&royed much corn, some cotton and othel crops. Of course the best lands were over flowed. It Is late to plant over and beside many farmers who had corn on the river have other crops on the hills and these need work so badly that there is hardly time to plant over on the river and work out the hill crops. So there will be se- rious loss.

Practical Education at Tusksre.

MdCou 1eleSFdpn.
 To judge rom The Montgomery Ad- vertiser's description, the commence ment exercises at Tuskegee were much more along practical than theoretical lines. One young woman. whose grad uatlns address was called Work in Corn Shucks." had a class on the plat form making hats and scrubbinR brushes and bottoming chairs with corn shucks. A graduating student whose subject was The Making of a Pamphlet made a pamphlet on the spot A third young negro who dis cussed The Value of Pork Production to the Southern Farmer" dipped a Dig in the presence of the assembly in orr der to show the proper way to fight lice and cholera. The students of black smithing shod a horse and made a tire for a wagon.
 How much better is all this as "a preparation for the life of a farmer or agricultural laborer the widest and most certain field open to young negro men in the South-than a never to be employed and soon to be forgotten languages. It has been said that most of the Tuskegee students become school teachers Instead of following the trades in which they are trained, but that is no fault of the admirable system of Industrial training to be Lad In this and other negro colleges of the same general class.
 Mayor Teague. of Montgomery, is quoted as saying to the graduatingg students at Booker T. Washington 5 celebrated school: "The variety of the work performed here and your efforts have been almost revelation to me"

NOT FIGHTING THEM.

Our valued contemporary, The Roan- p.xa. Leader, declares that we put too serious a construction on some of its recsnt remarks on the subject of auto mobiles. In short The Leader inti- mates that it was "Jest funnin'" when if pronounced itself against the ma chimes. and says in commenting on our sditoriaii
 Now in regard to the above cogita- tons of The Advertiser. we beg 70 assure that so far from trying to apoi- ish the auto machines. we are prepHs ,,se in these regions, so that our stock may ret fhoroughly familiar with them. we Rave also invited Brother Olver, or The Lafayette Sun, to send ms ma chine up to graze g on our ia~n; .hs b;onk mi as ma. chine as a thing of evil. we are try ing fo get in line with the march o' progress.
 Glad to be assured that the brother has no idea of fighting the inevitable for automobiles will go wherever there is shown desire for them, and wher' there are roads or streets suited foI their use. They are all right. if proper lv managed. and we shall not be sur prised to hear that the editor of Int Leader has been taking spin in one and enjoying the salubrious air of goot old Randolph.
