Little Rock in Montgomery.
 Memphis in Atlanta.
 New Orleans in Nashville.
 It Is possible that double-h eaders will be played everywhere today.
 The weather man says today will be fairl
 Tn case this prediction pans out there will be two games in Birming- ham this afternoon between the Bar ons and the Sea Gulls.
 The first game will begin promptly at 2.S0 o'clock, and the second will begin 10 minutes after the conclusion of the first
 Dickson will work for Birmingham in the opening game of the double header, and Fleharty will pitch the con- cluding.
 Lelivelt will probably go to the slab for Mobile in the first game and Gordon Hickman in the second.
 Inasmuch as Mobile has walked away with the only two games played so far in the present series, Manager Molesworth and his men will strain every Muscle to wrench double bar
 
 It is very probable that there will be four double-headers in the Southern league this afternoon, for rain inter ferred with the entire schedule yester- day.
 It was the second time this season that Jupiter washed out the entire bill in the Southern league.
 It Is probable that he has done his greatest damage, however, and that from this date on, the raining out of a game will be the exception.
 Memphis, after winning easily from Atlanta Wednesday. was preparing to drop the harpoon in Bill Smith a sec ond time. New Orleans, having won one game, and lost another to rain, was preparing to take a double bill yester- day afternoon. The same was true concerning Montgomery and Little Rock.
 So it is very probable that the con tinuous rain of yesterday will result in the transformation of a very ordi- nary Friday into holiday through out the south.
 The Farons have not played good ball at home. and have lost a majority of the games played.
 They broke even with Little Rock, when had good ball been played three games would have fallen in the prop CT column. The Barons have dropped two straights to Mobile, whereas had they played just little bit one would have fallen on the right side of the ledger.
 If the Barons win the double header this afternoon 1t will mean an even break with Mobile. Then two of four games against New Orleans will have to be landed If the .500 mark at home is sustained.
 If the Barons break even this aft ernoon, they will have to win three of the four games from the Pelicans.
 The Pelicans open tomorrow after noon. Sunday, the two teams jump to New Orleans for a game and return Monday to conclude the series which lasts throughout Wednesday.

''Mrs. Wiggs of tn Cabbage Patch '' comes to the Elks Theater today, matinee and night. As a dramatic of fering it is proof, if further evidence were wanting, that, there are as good fish in the sea of humanity as ever were caught" The dramatiza- tion of the book that was written con- cerning the heroine of the Cabbage Patch has a distinct and unmistak- able touch of originality. It makes vivid the book conception of the Cab- bage Patch people; brings one nearer the sources of smiles and tears, and gives an insight into the tenderness the sacrifices, the delights and pains in the lives of the humble.

We are not afraid of the discovery oi truth We urge mankind to read aEd study as well as to pray and testify.

ter a seaport and saving its cotton mills
from ruinous competition of towns on

Charleston, New Orleans, or Mobile goes
straight to the docks at Manchester. But
except in a limited area, and one contin-
ually decreased by railroad intrigue, our
producers must use land carriage to get
their cotton to the sea. II Manchester can
prontably do so much for its manufac-
turers cannot the United States do even
more for the cotton planters of the South

Of canal building on a large scale. Deep
