MERIDIAN HOPES
 TO HOLD POSITION

Meridian, Miss February 2.-(special.)- The chances of Meridian being in the Cot ton States Baseball league during the coming season are some better than week ago. Although the meeting scheduled for last night did not materialize because of a misunderstanding, considerable enthu- siasm aroused today and another meeting is called for Friday night. Quite n number of enthusiasts have volunteered to put up $250 each, which is almost a guarantee that Meridian will hold her own.
 Dickerings are now on with the street railway company which are almost cer- tain to insure park. With a park cinched Meridian will remain in the Cot ton States league.
 This is a foregone conclusion: The pub Iication of the letter of the withdrawal of Columbus from the league has thrown no damper on Meridian fans. It is be- lievad either Hattiesburg, Selma or Natchez will take the place of Columbus.

 Interest In Game.
B. A. C.-Y. M. (. A. FRIDAY

Vanderbilt arrives this morning to have a try at the Birmingham Athletic club. It will be a great scrap, for the visiting team has reputation behind it which removes any dreams of a cinch.
 It will be interesting to see some of the football stars of the university playing this scientific game, and they will have the sympathy of large au- dience when they go up against the great bunch at the club.
 It will be sympathy because the club does not intend To lose a single contest on it's own floor during the remainder of the year. The game will start promptly at s.so o'clock and the usual dance will follow. Vanderbilt will re- turn Saturday for a game with the Young Mems Christian association.
 Preliminary to the big game with the Athletic club Friday night the Young Mems Christian association squad worked out with the strong team from Bessemer last night, defeating them S6 to IT in quite an interesting contest.
 The boys from Bessemer showed up in really fine form. and scored a num- Der of very difficult goals from good distances. Due to an inability on the part of the association to get together during the first half it ended 10 to II in favor of the associa ton. However, they got into harness with rush in the next half. playing Bessemer 25 to ' in 15 minutes. No doubt the score would have gone to over 40 had the regular 25-minute half been played.
 The game with the Athletic club will be attended by one of the largest crowds of the year. The club members have decided to turn out in a body to cheer their boys toward the southern championship. If the Aathletic club loses it will materially weaken if not altogether do away with her chances for the championship. The association will make a brave effort to win every game on it's own floor.
 The Steele Smith team held it's lead in the Commercial league last night by defeating the Cumberland Presbyterian team. 23 to 10. Porter Clothing com pany won from the Birmingham Grain company. 24 to 6. Both contests were interesting The league will come to an end next Tuesday night. Here is the standing:

Cooperative Movement Between
Planters and Millers Results in Mu.
tuaI Pledges Which Assure the Gull
ture of Wheat in Many Places.

JACKSON, Miss, August 12.-That
the wheat growing talk which has
been going the rounds of the Missis.
sippi press is neither a bluff nor a
mere diffusion of hot air is clearly
proven by the fact that in a number of
localities arrangements are actually
being made to construct Touring mills.
the mill owner having in each case
pledged a sufficient number of farm
ers to plant a sufficient acreage in
wheat to support it.
The plan is a cooperative one. the
farmers desiring to have convenient
mills and the millers wanting CONVEX
lent grist, and a sufficient quantity
OF it for the capacity of the mills.
which will vary with the resources of
the various localities.
Thus far the idea is confined almost
exclusively to the northern sections
but will doubtless spread if the crop
proves a success, as a number of the
older citizens declare it was before
the war. There appears to be no rea.
son why the soil should not do as well
now as then.
The latest instances where mills |
are now assured to the farmers and
where wheat is assured to the mills |
are in Leake county, where fifty FARM
ers have already pledged themselves
o grow from two to five acres. and |
4 citizen we'll able to do it has ar.
'anged to put in the mill. Other farm
RS are being brought into the deal as
asst as they can be induced to Join.
In Winston county the owner of
mother kind of mill has agreed to
i'd a Touring mill and the farmers
lave pledged themselves to plant as
much as 400 acres in wheat to support
t. This is done at the instance OF
he farmers themselves.
In Tishomingo county a large mill
to be built, using large creeks as
he motive power, without pledges of
ny kind, and not even dependent up {
the local crop, although encourag.
lg the planting of wheat. What the {
zeal crop lacks of supplying the mills
apacity will be shipped in from the a
orth and west, it bein ~"~.'0r that
lie freight rate on wheat is less than +
lat on flour and that with the eco
omical power the promoters VII be c
DE to compete with the Northern s
ills and make profit. n

One County Shipped Last Season 151,-
$40 Crates, and Another 1862.

JEFFERSON, CITY, Mo-, August u.
For its large red apples and deli
cious Alberta peaches Missouri has
long been famous, but there is anoth-.
er fruit grown in large quantities in
the state, about which no poets sing
in verse and no press agents herald
in bright, glowing language, and yet
so large and valuable is the annual
crop that mere tribute is not suffi-
cient in paying all respects due to
this tasty and welcome commodity. 1t
| is the strawberry, always large, lusci-
Gus, tasty and tempting, grown more
or less, in nearly every one of the
LA counties of the state.
The Red Book" for 1909 of the

liable statistics on the strawberry

the counties in 1909 to st. Louis. Kan.

Held and other cities of the state, and
that some went as far as Chicago and
Milwaukee.
AT Sl10 per crate, a very conserva.
tive figure, these S7O,679 crates Weld
total of $1,4SO,154 to the growers
without considering the profits of the
buyers and shippers, all from the sur
plus strawberry crop of Missouri

VISITS WINNEMUCCA But HE
MAKES NO DAZZLING DIS
PLAY OF WEALTH

Walter Scott, better known as
"Scotty, the Death Valley mystery"
was in Winnemucca last Friday
from his mining property located in
Black canyon. in the Humboldt
range.
"Scotty'' was here like any other
prospector and purchased a bill of
grub. which he took to his camp.
He is not the "Scotty'' of old who
made such dazzling displays of his
wealth. Although he seemed to be
well supplied with money, it was
of smaller denominations that when
he flashed $1,000 bills to pay for a
round of drinks. His money this
time was of the white metal and he
had a pocket full of it, for when he
went to pay bill he took out a
handful of silver coins, just to show
the boys that he was still there
with the coin, even if it wasn't of
the yellow kind that started the
world to talking of his great wealth
recovered from the sun-baked hills
that surround Death Valley.

COVERS BET OF
BILL JOHNSON
A GOOD GAME OF BALL is NOW
ASSURED FOR THE COM
ING SUNDAY

A ball game Sunday is now as
sured between Pete Hertels champs
and the Casino Stars. Lalt evening
Mr.. Hertel called at the Bonanza

per, covering a check for a like

lenge of w. S. Johnson, manager of
the Casino team.
The instructions that go with the
checks are to turn both over to the
team winning the game Sunday af-
ternoon.
Both aggregations have started
practice for the coming contest,
which gives promise of drawing a
large crowd. Last evening the
Champs adjourned to the ball
grounds while the Stars INDUCED in
their work north of town. Several
surprises are promised when the
lineup of the two teams are an
nounced, for it is whispered a num-
Der of old time stars will appear on
the diamond Neither side has yet
announced it's battery, but from the
rumors the managers have secured
efficient men for these positions.
The only rules governing the Sc
lection of the players are that the
Casino nine must be picked from
below McKim's corner and will be
composed mostly of present or for
mer employees of the Casino Het-
tel must take his players from the
ranks of the saloon men and gam
blers.
