Didn,t Mention Mrs. barclays Name.

The efforts of Mrs. Barclay to gain
possession of little Marian Bleak1ey,
the famous incubator baby, never met
with the sympathy of the relatives of
Mrs. Barclay, according to statement
made to the State Journal this after
noon by Mrs. Ora Thompson, the
mother of Mrs. Bleakley: Mrs. Bar
clay has been hard pressed for funds
for some time with which to conduct
the legal proceedings for the possess
sion of the child and but one of her
relatives contributed to her cause, her
grandfather. And this was not be-
cause of his sympathy in the case but
merely because of family ties. Her
brother in Omaha. a prominent man
there, has at various times tried to
persuade her to give up her ideas of
taking possession of the child. And
he has refused to contribute to her
cause.
at is not true that we poisoned the
mind of the little girl against Mr.. Bar
clay. In fact we have never mention
ed Mrs Barclays name in her pres
ence. She has heard it enough in the
court rooms and on such occasions the
name has always frightened her so
that we never mentioned Mrs. Barclay
in her presence. We never allowed the
little girl to go out of our sight and
we had her kindergarten right in our

MANY ARE AFTER
 CAMERON'S PLACE

Meridian June 16.-(SpeciaL)-A very warm campaign for the vacancy in the circuit clerkship, due to the death of the lamented Gen. W. D. Cameron, Is brew ing. Already there are six announced candidates in the field. They are Charles B. Cameron, son of the late General Cam eron; Frank c. MeGhee, present presi- Martin, late grand master of the Masonic grand lodge; Robert L. Harbour, a young cotton buyer; Alex D. McRaven, real young merchant and planter. Besides these 1t is known that several more will announce for the office in the next few days. In card published today Charles B. Cameron asks for the unexpired term for the purpose of winding up the affairs of his late father.
 The election is to be held July 14, which affords but a short time for the candidates to lay their claims before the people of the entire county, and there is going to be some tall hustling between now and the date of the election, all of which will tend to enliven things through one of the dullest months of the season.
 The Meridian fire department at an early hour this morning prevented the possibility of one of the most disastrous fires in the history of Meridian, The overall factory of Cohn Bros, in Fourth street, caught fire. The flames were mak- ing good headway upon the arrival of the department, but were extingushed with out much damage. The building Is a three-story brick structure, located in the heart of the business district. The origin of the fire is not known.

Anniston, June 15.-(Special)-As a re- suit of the game Tuesday the Pelham Guards take a new grip on the 1000 per cent rung at the top of the City Base ball league ladder and the Oxford team, which was defeated by a score of ' to 2, falls down to .666, or .167 points below Donehue. now holding second place.
 The game was one-sided, but interesting nevertheless, some exceedingly clever plays being executed at various stages. Ray Owen was jam up at short for the guards, Woodruff played well at second and McCaffery distinguished himself by three hits and sacrifice out of four times up. Haynes and Mellon did good fielding for Oxford
 The Batteries were Wilson and Yeatman against Klein and McCaffery Tap Klein getting the better of the pitchers bat tie. He allowed only four hits and struck out six men, while Wilson allowed 10 hits and struck out six. Klein walked two and Wilson one. Each team made four errors. Score:
