SEAD0ARD OUTLET
Atlanta, Birmingham and Allan.
tic Said to Have Been
Acquired.
THIS IS A VALUABLE ACQUISITION.

An outlet to the seaboard for
the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, most important acquisi-
tion in point of strategy and en-
tention of It's facilities for the
handling of steamer traffic along
the Atlantic coast has been fin
ally realized according to reports
received in Louisville yesterday.
In the rumored purchase by
the Louisville & Nashville of the
Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic railway, road extending
to Brunswick, Ga, a seacoast
seventy-five miles, the Louis
vile & Nashville will realize
what has long been an ardent
desire on the part of its direct
ors AN outlet 20 the seaboard.
Notwithstanding that the road
goes to the Gulf of Mexico on its
westerly branch, 1t has long been
held essential that ultimately
the company must acquire or
construct a road to the seacoast
from Atlanta.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic railway recently went
into the hands of a receiver, and
speculation was rife as to the flu
ture of the road until reports
emanating from reliable finan-
cial circles disclosed the fact that
the Louisville g. Nashville was
negotiating for its purchase.
The road said to be acquired
by the Louisville & Nashville has
excellent haFbor facilities at
Brunswick, Ca, and has steamer
connections with New York, Bos-
ton, Havana and other important
points along the coast.

It is Not Natural to Grisvs or be Unhappy

" lNOt iNatuIoI ~ OIlCVe VI DC unhappy.
l believe there will finally be
a day when the people exercise
and the proper care of the body,
feeding, etc. together with the
high culture threading and men
tai instruction will make earth
seem almost like a heaven, es-
pecially to the little children.
If a happy mind is built by a
happy thought produced by
happy labor then surely there
can be no conflict drawn. This
world can at least be made bet
ter, though it is already good.
If you will look about you you
will see everything spread out
by nature and in a natural way
to make you happy.
Misery does not come about
by nature, neither does nature
bring it about. Uuhappiness
comes about by some disobedi-
ence to the law of nature, and if
we will give ourselves time and
the proper reasoning we would
be a great deal happier. Some
people grieve at the death of
friend and claim it is natural.
Now reason here on the subject:
is it natural to grieve at thing
that nature produces? Why not
grieve when they are born? 1t
is as natural to be born as it is
to die.
Iu my estimation we grieve
and make ourselves miserable
because we have been taught to
do so. The Indians were a race
of people that never grieved for
their dead until they were taught
TO do so by the white man. And
this is one proof clearly shown
before cur eyes that it is not
natural to be unhappy, for they
were a set of humans that lived
far closer to natural laws than
the white man.
We are ficticiously, dreamily,
mentally taught rather than
trnthfully and naturally taught

GOOD REPORTS ON
THE CROP CONDITIONS.
Wheat in Better Shape Than Last Year.
and Corn Area Larger.


Frankfort, KY, June 3D.
State Agricultnrist Rankin .to-
day issued the July report of
crop conditions throughout Ken
lucky. The report includes
general summary of the last
three months. The commiss' on
err says:
The greater part of the wheat
crop has been cut, but some re-
mains vet uncut, owing to the
unfavorable weather. The con-
dition of the crop at this time
last year was SO per. cent. against
81 per cent. for this year. The
average price for the State Is
IA per bushel.
The largest acreage of corn
has been planted in Kentucky
that has been planted for years.
with the possible exception oil
1908, due in large measure to
the cutting out of the 1908 to-
bacco crop, which caused many
to quit the raising of the crop
altogether. This year all corn
has been planted Id good tanas
and the prospects are for a very
large crop. Last years. acreage
for the State was 95 per cent.
this year'r acreage Is 96. Aver
age price for corn in the State il
81 cents.
Last year the oats crop was
complete failure, but the prosll
poets this year are for a largel
yield and good crop.
A larger crop of tobaccoN
been planted this year than evN,
before, and its condition at thiS
time is good, although there has
been too much wet weather.
There has been planted this year
between 100000 and l70,OO0
acres of hurley. The acreage at
this time in 1907 as compared
with 1906 was 80 per cent. of
the crop. The acreage in 1908
as compared with 1908 was IL
per cent. of the crop. and the
acreage this year is la per cent.
of the crop, showing a very large
increase over an average crop.
The condition of the crop at this
time in 1907 was SO per cent.and
the condition in 1908, on account
of the continued dry weather,
was not good, while the condi-
tiOn this year at the same date
is SO per cont. for the whole
State.
There seems to have been a
tendency on the part of the grow
ers in the dark tobacco district
towards increasing the acreage
of dark tobacco. The acreage
July 1, 1907, as compared with
the average crop, was ~ per
cent, and the acreage July 1,
1908, was 80 per cent, while
the acreage July /, 1908 was 1ol
per cent. of the crop planted.
and the condition is very favor
able, showing 90 per cent.

Hints to the Scorer.

Onail the error column De aOOl-
ished from base ball? So few
fans know how to score a game
properly that there is considera-
BILE talk of cutting the mistake
section ont Of box scores.
No matter how careful and
conscientious a scorer is, he has
to exercise splendid judgement
or he will be unfair to either the
batter or the fielder.
Beginners make a practice of
jotting down an "errOr" every
time a fielder gets his hands on a
batted ball. Not only does this
rob the batsman of a hit, but it
does the fielder a great injustice.
The base ball tyro never stops
to consider whether the ball took
a false bound or whether or not
the baseman recovered it in time
to throw the runner out at first.
So many things have to be taken
into consideration that only a
trained expert can score a game
correctly. One rule which it is
always best to follow rs to give
the batsm6n the benefit Of the
dedbt. If you do not know
whether to score batted ball a
hit, or an error, just setlt down
as a base hit.
The error column in the box
score only works against the hus-
Ting, ambitious player who
doesn't think about his average
and goes after everything in
sight. If fielders felt sure that
they would not be unjustly
charged with errors, desperate
chances to recover batted balls
would be taken.
There is another school of
base ball men who would penal
lze "mental blunders" only.
They would charge every player
who makes "bone. headed"
play with an error, but mistakes
of the hands and arms would not
be officially recognized. Few
managers will abuse players for
making muffs or bad throws, but
the slow thinkers who get caught
between the bases and do other
foolish things are roundly be-
rated.
To score a game properly the
fan must be imbued with a good
deal of charity. OF course scor-
ers will never quite agree on
what constitutes base hit. In
a measure that fact that bats
man beats the ball to first is
prima facie evidence that he is
entitled to a hit.
When the fielder gets his hands
on a batted ball most inexperi-
enced scorers slip mp. If the
ball takes a bad bound or rolls to
the infielder so slowly that he
does not have time to throw his
man out at first, they immediate
ly score it as an "error." The
rule reads:
"When a fair hit ball Is par
TALLY or wholly stopped by field
er in motion, but such player
cannot recover himself in time
to field the ball to first before
the striker reaches that base. or
to force out another base runner,

There are two styles of machnes-one is the
card punching device and the other the tabulator
The first punches the holes in the census cards
which are arranged much as in the conventional
card index. The wonderful tabulating machine
then takes the pasteboards and solely by mechan-

compelled to play upon 1t like typist, but today
all that is necessary is to touch the key desired,

cards long as the power is kept on. The old
hand puncher was capable of sending out 900
cards each day while the new automaton attains

Another feature of these new machines is that
the United States will soon know after the cards
