The loss Of Annis In yesterdays
game enabled the visitors to slip one
over on the Indians by the score OF
2 to 0. Keokuk should not have won
the game In nine innings and could
not have unless Harry Swain drop
ped dead, but it might have gone into
extra sessions and given the home
team chance to slip in win. Oy-
Ter was strange in the position OF
shortstop and in addition to making
two errors which gave them the start
let two slip by which went for hits
which might have been gobbled up by
Annis had he been In uniform. Belt
received word that Annis was sick
during the afternoon and he will prob
ably be out of the game for several
DAYS.
Willie Prough was on the slab yes
terday and the rooters counted on a
victory. And well might they judg-
ing from appearances during the first
five rounds when Keokuk had all the
better of 1t. Not Cannibal reached
first base during the first five innings
and only one ny ball was knocked to
the outfield this being easily taken
care Of But in the sixth the game
was won by Oyler's errors and two
hits sprinkled in. The Indians did not
find Swain such complete puzzle
right at the take off, but as the se-
ance progressed and the time Of clos
ing drew near they found him tight as
q fish and the stone wall defense be-
hind him impregnable.e During the
last six innings that Swain worked
but nineteen men faced him, the only
man to reach first being Landry, who
doubled In the sixth inning.

Information received in this city to-

dated under a reorganization plan
which involved the recent foreclosure
sales of the NJ. J. & X. c., and now
the road will be known as the New

Much speculation has been inda,ged
recently as to what changes would be
made by the new management of the
road, and particularly as it would af-
feet Hattiesburg, as this city is the
terminus of the branch line. The
persistent rumors to the effect that
the new company was seeking a gulf

New Orleans report, which says that
the line will be extended into that city
from a point in Mississippi.

AS the work of cleaning up the city

Will Go DRY
Gov. Ansel, of South Carolina, Made
This Statement in New York
Recently.
Bv Associaced Press

NEW YORK, October Ex-Governor
Ansel, of South Carolina is here to at
tend the annual meeting of the Pea
body educational fund. He says the
South will stand solidly for prohibit
ton within the next five years.
Prohibition is making tremendous
strides all through the South. In my
own state the cases where thirsty
man can get drink are few and far
between" he said.
And then he proceeded to tell how
prohibition has gained a foothold in
the state and spread prior to August
last.
Fifteen additional counties went
dry at the elections in that month" "
he continued, "and after November Is
next it will be possible to get drink
in only six counties of the state, and
| then only through the medium of the
county dispensary."
Governor Ansel discussed other
phases of the liquor question and con-
cluded by saying that there is ne
doubt that the prohibition movement
has come to stay and that it is MAX
, ing steady progress
Such a potent factor has it becom
throughout the South, he stated, tha
all political parties are forced to rec
ognize the issue.
