SMYRNA WINS AT BASEBALL

ence Academy, Dover, to /.
On Saturday April "a, Smyrna High
School went to Dover and defeated
he Wilmington, Conference Academy
Base Ball team of that town by the
close score of 8 to /. The game dur
ing the entire contest was close and
exciting and not until the last man
had fouled out was the game decided.
The w. c A. fellows were so sure of
the game that some of their players
had already fixed the score at 1910.
Only one inning was required to show
that Manager Boehmler's colts were
not so easy. 1t is hoped that return
game will be played here in the near
future, and also that our citizens will
be out in full force to witness the
contest. Fer Smyrna Bell played a
nice fielding game and Jolls twirled
a very good ball. Smyrna had no
trouble in locating Vests fast ball,
securing II hits off his delivery.
The lineup was as follows: Smyrna

from a book and noted the fact that
these roadbeds were very popular in
New Jersey and was worth looking
into. The cost he said was about
half the cost of vitrifed brick and
while he was not prepared to recon-
mend it without further investigation,
he felt it should be investigated. 1t
is probable that a special committee
will inspect these macadam rOadbeds
in New Jersey before deciding on a
street material.
Century Club For Permanent Streets
The ladies of the Century Club
prompted by a spirit of pride for our
town, at a meeting held Friday,
April %, put themselves on record as
favoring permanent streets and en-
couraged the movement by offering a
set of resolutions which were accep-
ted and filed by our Town Council.
The resolution were as follows:
Whereas, The spirit of public improve.

and being pr mpted by feelings of civi'
pride that our own Town shouli not fal

Resolved. That this Club favors the per

Now let our business men and citi
zens agitate. Council has taken the
initiative. Let othere organizations
fall in line and if necessary hold a
mass meeting and send d special
delegation to Washington to work the
matter up. Smyrna will gain nothing
by sitting still with hands folded.
If we make an effort and show our
representative that we really want
a Federal Building, they will work
all the harder for US. The opportuni
ty is ripe. Let US grasp it.

in passing a resolution asking our
representatives in Washington to get
Us an appropriation for a Federal

in this respect and the result has
been that other towns of the state

is never too late to do good. Secre-

The corner in wheat inevitably
starts an agitation to make corners
illegal. The bakers of Pittsburg
appeal to Secretary Knox. Members
Of Congress are being overwhelmed
with letters and kilograms, and the
dispatches represent them as in
mood to take some action, if only the
House were organized for any other
business than, tariff making. Probably
it is better so. 1t will be wiser to
wait and see if this corner does not go
the way of its predecessors. Either
Mr.. Patten. the Chicago speculator is
right or he is wrong in his estimate
that the supply of wheat is lower than
it was supposed to be. If he is right,
then the price of wheat will stay up,
but it will not be Mr.. Patten, but
actual scarcity, that has kept it up.
All that his movement will have done
will be to start the rise in price a
little earlier than it would otherwise
have come, and so to equalize supply
and demand over the period for which
present wheat must last If he is
wrong, then the price must come down
of itself again to a lower point than
it would otherwise have reached be-
cause of the extent to which he has
reduced consumption by forcing the
price upward temporarily. Attempts
to forestall the supply of foodstuff
have always regulated themselves,
because the task is too great for the
resources of one man or one group of
spectators. Just now Mr.. Patten
and his associates are not alone in
cornering wheat. Every farmer with
wheat in his bin, every miller, every
factor or dealer controlling a supply
of the grain is in the corner with him.
They are all holding their wheat
back because the price has gone W
and they think it is going higher.
If the supply of wheat is as great a!
government reports indicate, Mr.
Patten asks, 'why has it not com,
out? If the wheat is in the country
where is it," Very likely it does no
come out because those who hold i
believe Mr.. Patterns assertion tina
the government reports have great,
Overestimated the supply. Every on
with wheat in his possession is say in,
to himself that Patten is right an
the government is wrong. There j
always this stage to a corner. Tn
real test comes when the farmers, tn
millers and the dealers think the tim
has arrived for them to realize o
their part of the corner. Their par
Of the corner is 50 big that it usual
swamps the men with the little end Z
the corner in the Chicago wheat pit
For It's moral effect we hope that wi
happen this time. If it does not,
will! be because there is really create
scarcity than was supposed, .becaui
the years supply has been improper
distributed and consumers got the
wheat too cheaply during the fir
part of the year, having, as a cons
quence, to pay dearly for it until Il
next crop is harvested.

Solicitor Heflin Declares Money Was Used to Secure Warrents Against women-Grand Jury
 Will Probe.

Birmingham. March 1.-(special.)--- In the event Curtis Shugart Is in the city, he will be summoned to go be- fore the grand jury and tell what he knows concerning the alleged charge made by Solicitor Hefiin against the sherins office last week during the hearing in the vagrancy cases against women of the segregated district.
 At that time Solicitor Hefiin is reported as saying that he could pro- duce a witness who would swear he heard Mr. Shugart say that he receiv- ed s25O from the sheriff for swearing out the warrants against the women.
 Sheriff Higdon promptly denied that he ever gave MT. Shugart or any one else money for swearing out warrants and wrote the grand jury letter ask ing for full investigation of the charge.
 It Is known that several witnesses went before the grand jury and when Sheriff Higdon was told Monday that MT. Shugart was in the city he sal d he would have him summoned al once to go before the inquisitors.

BY CHARLES L. HAROLD.

Selma, March 1.--(Special.)-In Gadsden. 'tis said. the lid is on. There C very little doubt of its being on in Anniston and in Talladega. Having seen the lid, therefore. and gotten knowledge of what 1t looks like. the writer was able to take off his hat when he reached the Central City. Verify, the lid Is on and suffocation 1s about to set in.
 On a side street of Selma crouched denizen in pursuit of frogs. The diversion excited the curiosity of the people. In turn. the little knot of people drew the police to them. Over- come himself. with curiosity, one Of the bluecoats advanced to ask:
 What are you doing there. sir" Catching frogs. if you don't mind, 1tr." was the unconcerned reply.
 .CStching frogs: whatcher doing that V.or?"
 "want-to ship them to St. Louis to . brewing company"
 And what then?" anxiously pursued the policeman.
 They will get the hops out of 'em for to make beer." replied the expert with a sharp denunciatory stop.
 You are my prisoner" swiftly blunt ed the bluecoat. You have violated the prohibition law"
 The police deny this story. Those
  the amber fluid. the genial tapsters here. like to run that gag on the of ficers. However. neither the bluecoats nor the deputies shouldSlook on 1t as a libel or a tease. It would seem rather a compliment to their zeal and loyalty to their oats.
 No "Tfgers" in Town.
 Indeed. hardly a municipality has been visited where charges of violat- ing the prohibition law are so few |. If there are blind tigers in the city or county. the officers do not know 1t. Citizens of all classes say they know of no standing tiger" It is admit ted that "bootlegging" of the poison ous stuff Is being done. But those soft drink stands that are often the cloak of selling intoxicants have shut up shop here for the time. They are awed by the effective move of tn e county forces against them. Where in the Decaturs and other cities they are said to be operating with suspicious profits. the steam has been cut off in 9his city.
 Assistant Solicitor R. H. Mangum of the City and Circuit Courts, is much Encouraged by the legal crusade which he has started against the so-called soft drink stands. It was through
