In SLOW GAME LAST NIGHT

The basket ball game at Hale's paw
lion last evening between the Vulcans
and Company IL team from Montpelier
was more or less of q farce and at nc
time during the play did IL develop any
thing that resembled basket ball. The
score at the end Of as minutes rather
slow exercise for the Vulcans was GO e
70 in favor Of the local team.
The vulcans outplayed the military
aggregation from the start and moved
around them in manner that made Il
appear as II there were two yuleans for
every Company II man, so well did the
home players cover Although the game
was bit rough at times, but few fouls
were called and of the total Of rs points
scored by the teams but four were made
from free throws awarded because OF
fouls.
The Montpelier boys were easy for the
vuleans from the start and scored only
four points in the first period, while
the Vulcans registered H. In the second
period the local team scored total OF

in the final period the Barre boys regis.

ABOUT BALL PLAYERS.
Number of Decisions Announced BY Ma
tional Commission.

Cincinnati, March 16.--A number of
decisions affecting players, were an
nounced by the national baseball COM
mission, which held a meeting yester-
day. Among them was the request of
Frank Hafford to be declared a free
agent. and which was denied. Hatford
was a member of the Troy club of the
New York state league last year, and
that club was in arrears in his salary
when the season closed. He contended
that he should not be placed on the
clubs reservation list, but be declared
free agent. The commission ruled
that no effort was made to cheat him
ont of his money, and that the league
has made arrangements to pay him the
salary due him.

Roads-MostIy Bad.

The roads in the South are so bad
that something must be done. How
ever, The News is glad to state that
the people are beginning to plan how
to improve them, as every one is con-
vinced of the necessity of bettering
them, and are only awaiting the de-
.cision as to the best method to OBJ
tain the desired results. Loulsl'
ana stands lowest in the unmber OF
improved miles of road out of total
of "a, 1897 miles of dirt road.
Mississippi has 38,69S miles OF road
of which 149 miles are Improved;
North Carolina has over 1900 miles OF
improved roads; Illinois has over 5000
Indiana has 5000 miles of improved
roads. Few of the Southern states
have any general system of improve
ments. although Georgia stands well
np with 1000 miles, and Florida with
800 miles. Texas has over 1000 miles
of improved roads, and South Carol
ina over 1900. One third of the roads
of Ohio are improved, and nearly
one-half of the roadways of Rhode
Island are improved. Louisiana and
Mississippi are in very bad stand
ing in this regard, however.

speaking of the roads movement in
that State says
I'VE are leading the States in
good roads. Within five years we
will have $4,000 miles of paved boule.
ward extending in every direction over
the State of Georgia. We are not
building two miles here and three
miles some other place. We start out
with road to go somewhere and We
go there.
1--WE now have 5000 convicts at
work on the roads, and the road
from Chattanooga to Savannah will
soon be on fair way to completion.
The other roads in process of con-
strsDction are Greenville, s. c., to AT
lanta. and Atlanta to Augusta. These
will be finished complete, and will
compare with the best roads ever
constructed"
Mississippi convicts are more than
elfsupporting, and a goodly sum
from their labor in the shape OF net
profit is turned into the State treas,
Hry each year. But, more permanent
good would result to the State If they
were worked on the public roads.
The town authorities of Brandon
intend to have a model road to the
depot which, added to the present
149 miles of good roads, will make
$50 miles In the State. Is it not pos
sihle that Rankin can undertake a
road across the county, say from the
Scott line to Jackson and then an
other north and south to Simpson!
Other roads leading to them would
soon be improved.

SETTING A PRECEDENT.

District Attorney Adams expressed
elation over the convention of Eu-
gene Bertrand, a negro, for violating
Act 81, of 1908, relative to concu-
binage. He is quoted as saying:
This conviction is merely an ear
nest of which is to come in the mat
ter of enforcing this new law, In
which | am especially interested,
as are all are defenders of the white
civilization of the state. There are
sly more cases of this sort pending
in the criminal courts and three are
fixed for this month. The case OF
Adam Bell, found living with young
Italian woman in Gentilly Road, is ths
most flagrant case with which we
have to deal. My office is now quiet
ly investigating a number OF otner
cases of this sort that have come 10
NV notice and should the investlga-
tions warrant such actions, otner ar
rests and indictments will follow
The conviction of Bertrand will be
one of the most important IN Louis
lana Jurisprudence in generation
: if it serves as a precedent leading 10
MANY others. 1t will be linked to an
opening wedge to split asunder the
illegal and debasing ties between
people of the races, which result is
debasing both.
If Bertrand serves out his term IN
Jail, alone, nothing will have been ac-
complished in the real sense OF the
law. 1t is not by convicting one man
that the desired end will have been
attained. Before the lessons that
such cohabitation is crime to be
punished with full severity OF the law
have been brought home to people OF
both races, it must follow that many
will lock-Step with Bertrand during
his incarcerat ton.
This is no puny evil to be passed
over with Indifferent eye. 1t is one OF
the greatest that confronts the people
of Louisiana today The law is not
what it should be, but what there is
of it admits of a lesson.
The conviction of Bertrand will do
something to effect the end desired
bv the best people of both races. IL
the District. Attorney follows the
commendable campaign he has mapped
out. and is upheld by the courts and
the juries, he will have given such
an impetus to the d1scouragement OF
this truly abomniable practice that
the future will show brighter and
more auspiciously.-New Orleans Item
A few counties in Mississippi are
also after such disreputable
characters. The mulatto is the negro
who stirs up the most devilment this
country is cursed with so far as that
race is concerned. Make law giving
a penftentiary term to the mother of
a child of off color and the same to
the father, when his identy is proven
by the mothers statement, substan-
tiated by other conclusive clrcum-
stantial evidence. If such laws are
put in the statutes the mulatto birth
rate will be very, very small.

Five Little Preachments for Jur
PracticIng.

The man who runs a turning plow
four times to each row, is not only
turning up moist earth to dry out,
but is using many times the human
labor he should and thus adding
greatly to the cost of his crop.
It has been many long year
since I sent hoe into cornfield.
Do not think that sowing peas on
poor land, taking the crop off and
returning nothing will improve 1t.
You should feed the pea crop with
acid phosphate and potash if you
wish to build up your soil.
Cowpeas and crimson clover make
a team for summer and winter thai
cannot be beaten in the South by
anything.
AS soon as a crop in the garden
has been used, get some other crop
in its place and keep the garden
clean. -Southern Farm Gazette.
