ONE OF THE "OLD GUARD"

One OF the surprises Of the recent primary
election In Michigan was the defeat Of julius Gaze
sar Burrows for denomination to the United
States senate. Senator Burrows has been q long
time in politics and was one of the odd guard"
being associated with Aldrich, Hale and the Sena-
tor Allison in running the upper branch OF con-
gress. He entered congress in 1878 and has been
a member Of the senate since 1896.
Senator Burrows was born in Erie county,
Pa, in 1887. He went west Mt an early age and
read law while living in the western reserve OF
Ohio. In his early twenties he removed to Kala-
mazoo and has since been a resident of Michigan

at the Eucharistic congress at Montreal was Rev.
Father Bernard Vaughan of London, England.
whose denunciation of the smart set has deeply
stirred the worlds metropolis. Everybody In
London loves and honors Father Vaughan, yet he
Is the pulpit scourge of the town. He breaches
truths that terrify, yet an hour before he speaks
the seats in the church are jammed and crowds
line the walls.
He is as well known on the continent as in
Great Britain, and although he has become ultra
famous because Of his lecturing and speaking,

primary was that joint debate with
Vardaman be arranged for as often as
possible. He said the senator was
anxious to meet Mr.. Vardaman on the
stump, and the committee, as far as
possible, will arrange for this, provided
Senator Percy and Mr.. Vardaman can
agree upon dates.
MI. Lomax conferred with political
leaders in Jackson and the OF

States League season. Every morn.
ing from ten until eleven O'Clock,
and every afternoon from 2:3O to

his pals are showing the leather
over the prettiest park Greenwood
has aver owned. The artists trying
out have fallen in love with their
temporary berths and are exerting
their every to make good and wear
a Co this season.
Greenwood has purchased quite a
handsome uniform for their team
this season, just the same as usual,
as they Eve do the thing in parts.
A gray, about the same color as the
suit used last season, with a blue
check will adorn the wearers of the
&C. The uniforms are stylish and
were made by an uptodate sporting
house. The management has spared
no expense in giving the team some
thing nifty and mob. There will be
a silk &c" on the caps and another
CO. on the left of the shirts. 1t has
not yet been decided whether these
will be used as trip suits or home
uniforms.
President Crowder has given out
the official schedule which appears
elsewhere in this issue of the paper,
to which we direct your attention.
1t shows that Greenwood will open
in Vicksburg with three games with
the Hill Billies, and that from there
they will chase over to Meridian and
teeth it out with McCay's young
ones. Then Woodie comes march
ing triumphantly home to meet
Jackson three games on the local
grounds, when the Capitol city will
get hers. Then the season will be
off on its start and our boys will be
IN and out the city the rest of the
season. President Crowder has
selected three efficient umpires who
are we'll up on the game, but has
not as yet disclosed the names.
The mileage for the teams in the
circuit, al fixed by the schedule
which was accepted and approved
by President Crowder, shows the
mileage of the various clubs as
follows, totaling 1885,: Greenwood,
1870; Jackson, 3,0Ol, Meridian,
3,l63; Vieksburg, 1912; and Hat
tiesburg, 3,44S.
Sumter Gillespie has been made

club, and his appointment has been
approved by President Crowder.
The local grounds are in ideal
condition. The ground is harden

ing owe its long fences. Hot and
cold water bath and other accomo-
dations are provided and benches
for the players have been erected.
Everything is in such tip-top condi-
ton that we hate to offer even q
suggestion; but we must say that
the management should hang an
awning on the west end of the
grandstand so as to protect the
spectators from the heat and glare
of the sun. This would in no way
obstruct the view, make the game
