There's joy today in Africa.

For Teddy has pulled down his tents
And put away his gun,
The hippo and The elephant
Are filled with pure delight,
And Hons once again resume
Their promenade at night
And all the other beasts now have
chance to catch their breath,
And take a little jungle air
Without the fear of death.
In fact, the Jungle is en- fcte,
And beasts that have been hid

MILLSAPS Wants
/ A. & MS SCALP
President Hull Promises Baseball
Team That VIII be Able to Lay
II over Them This Year.

Jackson, Miss. Sept. 30.-During
the opening exercises at Millsaps Col
lege the student body accepted with
much significance and great enthu-
siasm the announcement of the new
president, DR.. David c. Hull, that be-
fore the close of the present session
the institution will send to Starkyille
a baseball team to meet and vanqutsh
the A. & M. College. a
This promise by the new executive
head of the institution was taken to
mean that he is an earnest and open
advocate of intercollegiate athletics,
and will use his influence to induce
the two conferences of the Methodist
church in this state to permit the in
stitution a more active participation
in athletic events.
Double significance to this promise
was given when Rev. N. B. Harmon,
of Philadelphia, one of the leading
members of the Mississippi confer
ence, and who has hitherto been OPP
posed to intercollegiate athletics,
stated very frankly that he has re-

inferred from the fact that detailed
copy of the rates from each one OF the
$4,000 telegraph offices in the United
States to every other office in the
same territory is required under the
statute. With rates varying from 20
cents to $1.00 between the Atlantic
and Pacific seaboards, the lakes and
the gulf the task has consumed sew
eral months and cost very substan-
tial sum for compilation.
OF the three telegraph companies
operating in the United States tne
only one to whom the enactment OF
the law placing them under the reg
ulation of the Interstate Commerce
Commission seems to have caused no
inconvenience is the Telepost Auto
matte company, the young competitor
of the monopoly in New England and
the Middle West. Having the same
rate between all of its offices regard
loss of distance it was able to file a
copv of them with the Commission at
washington the day before the law
became operative. The copy as hied
shows the lowest telegraph rates IN
the world, ranging from maximum
cbarpe Of one cent a word to a mini
mum of one-quarter Of cent per WORD
according to the character of the mes
sage. BY stipulation Of the company
this rate covers all future extensions
of the automatic system between the
two seaboards as we'll as all ofhce'
now established, presaging a reVoiu
tion in the telegraph industry OF tn
country when its lines shall reSci

Gently experienced a change Of opin-
ion on the subject.
Heretofore Millsaps College has not
held membership in the Southern In
tercollegiate Athletic Association, and
has not been permitted to send its
football and baseball teams to the
gridiron and diamonds of other col
leges. This has been due to the rul-
ings of the two conferences on the
subject, always by divided vote, but
the opponents of intercollegiate sports
in each instance when the test came
mastering sufficient strength to keep
athletics under the ban.
Maj. R. w. Millsaps, founder and
chief benefactor of the institution,
Bishop w. B. Murrah, for nineteen
years it's president, and the late Bish-
op Charles B. Galloway, for the same
period president Of the board Of trus-
tees, never opposed athletic sports.
and were always willing for the col
lege to have full participation there
in, but they could not dominate cler-
ical and lay delegates in the two con-
ferences who had very positive and
contrary opinions on the subject.
For the past three years, however
1t has been evident that those in au
thority were modifying their views
on the subject, and the installation OF
President Hull, who formerly served
on the athletics committee at the A
& M. College, and is an ardent advo
cate of intercollegiate sports, may
mean that the students are finally t.
be permitted to organize first-clas
baseball and football teams.
The decision of the matter will
probably depend to a large extent Of
the practical working effect Of tn
new changes and modification Of tn
football rules. The two Mississippi
conferences will hold their session
within the next ninety days, and Il
by that time. it has been shown tha
football has fewer fatalities than fol
merly, Millsaps College will, in a
probability, be in the field next yea
with a first-class team.

four artesian wells, furnishing about
100000 gallons per day. The plant
will be owned and operated by the
city, and the citizens will also get
about the cheapest water in the South,
in addition to the purest.
The plant, when completed, will cost
about 100000, exclusive OF the old
plant, which was bought about three
years ago, and will not include the
mains already laid throughout the city.
This money will be spent for the wells,

that will be laid within short time,
This plant will not be completed un-
til some time next year, but when 1t

equipment, and the two concrete reser'

with joint capacity of 100000 gal
Ions, and as the water is pumped into

wells, it will be pumped into the mains
