SCORE TWO TO TWO
Result a Surprise Under
the Circumstances
Negro Band Plays Dixie
AS Albany Scored.
Concert Brief

Americas tied with the team at AL
bany yesterday afternoon on the lat
ter's ground 2 to 2, the game being
called at the end of the ninth on &C
count of darkness. Jupiter Pluv1us
had the first inning, with the result
that the game was delayed till nearly
five o'clock, leaving the grounds very
wet and heavy. Notwithstanding the
downpour the battle was witnessed
by a large number of fans.
Doc" Wilson, the latest man to don
a Champs uniform, did the twirling
for Americas, with Oh-You-Tommy
Hooks behind the bat. This battery
could scarcely be improved upon in
amateur ranks in the state.
For Albany one Mangum, imported
from Atlanta for the occasion, did
the slab work, while Farris, also OF
Atlanta, who did the receiving in the
second game here for Atlanta Tues
day. was behind the bat
Our near" friends, the enemy, had
the assistance of a local negro band
as rooters, but Notwithstanding this
fact they were unable to get away
with the game.
Albanys team got the drop or
the Champs in the third inning
scoring two runs. Up to that stage
of the game, Davidson of Atlanta, was
the only man to occupy first base
and that was on error.
In the third, however, Farris, O.
Atlanta, the first man up for Albany
went out from catcher to first. Man
gum Of Atlanta, was given his bass
on four bad ones; Reed of Atlant;
was caught off the bag, but His imp!
had his eyes in another direction ant
failed to call it.
Martin of Atlanta, followed with ;
sacrifice to second, and Mangum o
Atlanta, scored on the throw in.
Davidson of Atlanta, followed will

Reed, of Atlanta Keen, of Atlanta
went out on a beautiful one hant
stab of Peddys. Brown went ou
pitcher to first. Albany two hits

It was in the fifth that the Champ
started things going that made tn
hearts of the home fans glad. Duni
the first man up, went safe on
bunt. Ansley followed with bun
to pitcher and made safe on secdnj
baseman's error. Dunn stole thiid
McGTegor followed with a drive +

Massachusetts is sore. 1t clamored
for free hides, being a great shoe
manufacturing state. 1t looks now as
though it would get free hides but
along with them a reduction in the
duties on its leather products. That
doesn't suit the New England idea OF
free raw supplies and a high tariff on
all it manufactures. President Taft
promises to make himself unpopular
in that section of the country.

POVERTY NO BLESSING.

Andrew Carnegie has said some
wise things. He has also said some
foolish things, and one of them is now
the subject of some newspaper COM
ment. This is his recent statement
that nothing is 80 valuable to the in
dividual as being born in poverty and
compelled to win his own way in ihe
world. How he arrived at that con-
clusion is difficult to understand. Per-
haps he wished to emphasize the fact
that he himself rose from the strug-
Cling toilers to wealth and prominence.
Il is true that many of our greatest
and most famous men were born of
poor parents. it is also true that the
great majority Of people are born that
way and remain poor during their
lives. Poverty has always been con-
sidered a handicap to be overcome
and in the struggle ideals and pur-
poses are often lost sight of. The
light of many genius has been dim
med. through the exhaustion of his
energy in his daily battle for exist
ence. The ease and leisure that money
brought to many gifted men and wo-
men has added immeasurably to lit
erature, science and invention.
Common observation teaches that
the person born in poversy has the
odds against him, Mr.. Carnegie and
others to the contrary.

Jackson's Chicago Banquet.

Jackson sent to Chicago for BAN
quet for the president, costing $25 a
plate, and consisting, no doubt, of the
choicest products of the stockyards
and the packing houses.
In every other place visited by the
president banquet characteristic of
the locality was served. 1t is a pity
this could not have been the case at
Jackson. Mr.. Taft is supposed to be
connoisseur in all matters pertain
ing to the pleasure of the table. Mis-
sissippi is surely capable of supplying
enough good things to furnish din
ner for any man, president or empe-
ror, and it seems that the nations
chief should have carried away with
him a memory of the state, and not
a cold storage banquet sent out from
Chicago. In Georgia he was enter
tanned at breakfast consisting of
beefsteak, fried ham, fried chicken,
quail, Waffies and no doubt mullins
and batter cakes; and seems to have
enjoyed this representative feast about
as well as any that was spread for
him on his journey. The Jackson
feast was reflection on Mississippi,
and while it was no doubt an elabor-
ate and elegant affair, it would have
been more appropriate if it had been,
as far as possible, the product Of Mis-
sissippi land and water. Vicksburg

A New County Proposed.

A systematic effort is now being
made by the citizens of the eastern
portion of Pike and the western part
of Marion TO form new county to be
known as Tyler, and bill creating
the same will likely be introduced in
the next legislature. The last issue
of the Tylertown Times contained a
map of the territory to be embraced,
and stated that the citizens of the new
county would bear their proportionate
share Of the bonded Indebtedness Of
the two old counties, and that agree
ment will be embodied in the bill pre-
sented to the Legislature. If the bill
is passed by both houses and signed
by the governor, the citizens Of the
territory described will vote on the
proposition and should majority Of
the qualified electors vote in favor of
it, the new county will be created.
The campaign Of education dow be-
ing conducted by those In favor Of
the new county appears to be thor
ough, and their efforts will probably
be crowned with success. The News
has neither voice nor vote in this mat
ter, but it is firm believer in small
counties, and trusts that no compli-
cations may arise this time to fus-.
trate the plans of its friends Of tine
Mighty East however much it shall
dislike to see them leave Pike--the
best all-around county in the state. -

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
ExEMpTlNG SIX PER CENT MONEY.

Many people within the state favor
exempting from taxation money loan
ed at six per cent per annum. Many
others oppose the proposition, using
as an argument that money should be
taxed like other property. This argu-
ment sounds reasonable, but it has
really never been proposed to exempt
money from taxation. The PROPOSE
ton is to exempt the notes held by
lenders of money at six per cent. The
money itself would still be taxable
property.
To illustrate: Take the case of a
man who has one thousand dollars in
cash. AS long as it is not loaned he
pays taxes on it. Suppose he lends
it to a second party who buys farm
with it from third party. Under
the present law the lender pays taxes
on the note from the second party,
no matter what the rate of interest.
The second party pays taxes on the
farm. The third party pays taxes on
the money. Here are three taxpayers,
whereas before there were only two.
That is double taxation. The money
is taxed and the note representing the
money is also taxed. We're the note
exempt the money would still be tax
able property.
In many towns the state, county,
municipal and bond taxes amount to
more than three per cent. Add this to
six per cent and it amounts to more
than the states legal rate of interest.
Hence it can readily be seen that were
the lenders notes exempt he could
profitably lend money at six per cent.
There may be Objectionable features
to the proposed law, however, which
are not now apparent to us.

Those Who Fail.

How shrunken and pitiful thing,
how hollow a delusion, is the so-called
success Of self-absorbed men and Wo-
menl
Like that soldier who, when Gale
rius sacked the camp Of the Persians,
| found a bag of shining leather filled
with pearls, and threw away the con-
tents, but carefully preserved the
bag, they will find that they have
spurned true riches, real success, to
hug unto their hearts things that are
empty and worthless.
Achievement is not always success,
while reputed failure often is.
Many a poor cripple who struggled
under his handicap, doing his best to
make himself useful, trying to reflect
little sunshine into the darkness
and to make home a little brighter,
but never expecting special recogni-
tion here or hereafter, WILDE surpris-
ed to find his name written in letters
of unfading light high above that Of
a nations conqueror.
When the genius Of true history un-
rolls the scroll or earth's real bene-
factors it will be found that many
who stand highest on the list were
hardly recognized during their lives.
The name of many servant will be
above that Of his master. Many a
humble employe will be found to have
been in reality more successful than
the proprietor of the establishment in
which he worked.
True human history will be enriched
with the story, not of the parasite
prince, but of the unknown boy who
remained on the farm, helped to pay
the mortgage and stifled his own am
billions, in order that tho favorite
brother might be sent to college, and
thus scored higher success than the
renowned one for whom the sacrifice
+ 4
was made.
The girl who smothered her long
ings for a higher education, on sacri-
feed prospects for marriage and a
home of her own, in order to take
care OF her aged parents, and was
never known outside the circle Of a
few friends, will loom larger and
brighter in the true record Of human
forces than the sister who went to
college and became q great author,
musician, artist or actress.
Who can estimate what the world
owes to those who, according to the
ordinary standards of success, have
failed?
Who can compute the debt Of civili-
zation to the men and women who, iii
their efforts to make the world lit
tie brighter, alittle better place to
live in, have been too busy to make
money or to achieve fame? Memphis

Judge William ]. Gaynor, mayor
elect q New York City, is being
mentioned as good presidential tim
Der for 1912. It is q little early yet to
speculate upon the probable demo-
cratic standard bearer, but Judge
Gaynor would make q good leader.
The late Gov. Johnson, Of Minnesota,
