JACKSON HITTER
HAS Been SOLD
Browns, But Not Until Close of
Cotton States Season.
Special to The Nea0s.

| Special to The Nea1s.
Jackson, Miss, July 19.-The howls
of protest raised by the Jackson
baseball fans when it was announced
yesterday that Bert Graham, star in
fielder and home-run hitter of the
Cotton States League, had been sold
to ST. Louis, subsidized when Secretary
Lewis made the explanation that Gra-
ham will not be delivered to the
Browns until the close of the season,
which will be on Labor Day.
This means that Jacksons remarka-
bly, fast infielder will be preserved.
In fact, the management is now ar
ranging to strengthen the infield by
signing two new men. Flint, the big
first baseman, has been sent behind
the bat to replace Frank OFT, who
will retire within a few days, and
Flint's work in yesterdays game at
Vicksburg indicates that he will make
good in his new position.
Graham brought the highest price
ever paid for a player in the Cotton
States League. The local manage
ment declined to make the figure pub
lie, but it is understood from good
sources that he brought $1,50O. As
the American League season does not
close until October he will have amnle
time to demonstrate his ability to
make good in major league company
Negotiations for the sale of Flint are
now under way, and he is also expect
ed to bring a fancy price, but in this
instance also the contract will be for
delivery at the end of the season.

Cannon MEANEST

(Bg Associated Press.)

Columbus, Ca, July 19.-'I like
Speaker Cannon personally, but po.
litically he is the meanest man ever
permitted to live," declared Represen-
tative H. D. Clayton of the Third Ala
bama District here yesterday in an
address on "Cannonism," before the
Chattahoochee Valley Merchants
convention, representing Alabama,
Georgia and Florida.
But | have more respect for Can

ued Clayton. "An insurgent hasn't
the courage nor frankness to become
Democrat, he is too cowardly. When
he sees the people are tired of Re-
publican methods, he is willing to
throw down the leader the party has
put in place and power and refuses to
assist in carrying out the policies of
the Republican party"
Congressman Adams of the Third
Georgia District, also will address the

Marble polishing is simple and

from the saving room and placed on
fiat revolving iron table. The iron

five minutes. Then the slab Is at

Three grades of emery are used, and
it's only about minute to each grade.
Next come three doses of felt, each
time the felt growing finer in grade.
The felt is attached in a layer to a

THE FIRST CLOCKS.
ons at Padua That Was a Wonder ef
Mechanism.

ons at Padua That Was Wonder ct
Mechanism.
1t was, we are told. in 1909 that the
first clock known to the world was
placed in the tower OF San Eustorgio.
In Milan.
The greatest astonishment and ad
miration were manifested by crowds
who f1ocked to see the timepiece. In
1874 a clock was installed in the pal
ace CT the mobiles at Padua. This was
wonder of mechanism indeed, for
besides indicating the hours it showed
the course of the sun, the revolutions
Of the planets, the various phases ot
the moon, the months and the fetes
of the year.
The period of the evolution from the
clock to the watch was seventy one
years-not so very long, all things con-
sidered-and the record of the first
watch is 1880. A half century later
an alarm clock made its appearance.
This, we are told, was looked upon
by the people of that age as 'un in
strument prodigieux."
The fortunate possessor of this clock
was Andrea Alciato, councillor Of
Milan. The chroniclers have placed
on record that this clock sounded II
bell at a stated hour, and at the same
time little wax candle was lighted
automatically. How this was done we
are not told. but it must not be over
looked that until about seventy years
ago we had no means of obtaining
light other than the tinder box, so
that the Milanese must have been cen
turies ahead of us in this respect.
Not much progress was made with
the watch until 1740, when the Sec
ond hand was added.-London Globe.

POLL BOOK REVISION


C.
such matters.
1t is believed that the previous es-
innate of eight hundred qualified cleo
tors will prove to be nearly correct
While a large number of names yet
remain to be investigated, the COM
mittee has proceeded far enough to
form an intelligent estimate of the
probable number of those who will be
allowed to participate in the primary.
In the meantime, there appears to
be very little, if any, change in the
political situation, all candidates
claiming to be holding their original
strength and picking up recruits from
time to time. The campaign has
been exceedingly quiet and remarka-
bly, free from unpleasantness, and it
is the general belief that it will con-
tinue so until the end.
All the candidates are very active,
and prospects are that nearly all the
qualified electors will participate in
next Tuesdays primary.

lasted two weeks, and all Of the time
they were warning her not to make so
much noise, not to run across the
street and not to waken the people in
the adjoining fats. In fact, they were
constantly curtailing her freedom.
When she got home she told her papa
she never wanted to go to the city
again. and he said:

ALL Book CONTRACTS
have Been Signed

Jackson, Miss, July 19.-All the
contracts with the book publishers
who will furnish school books for
Mississippi for the next five years
have been signed by the governor and
other state officers whose names were
necessary, and that part of the busi-
ness has been closed.
The contracts were signed Tuesday
afternoon, and the adoptions are con-
sidered the best the state ever had,
while the school children will get
their books cheaper than at any time
in history. Including exchanges, the
Mississippi school children paid an
average of about "a cents each for
books each year of the last five, and
the new adoption will reduce this
considerably.
Mississippi, under the present adop-
tion is getting her books cheaper than
almost any other state in the Union.
Under the old adoption there was
only one of the two states that fur
nished books cheaper than Mississip-
pi, and under this adoption it is be-
lieved this state will rank with those
two states, if not exceed them in the
cheapness of its books.
The last of the contract were
signed Tuesday afternoon and the
first shipment of books tc the state
will be made in a short time.

HEIGHT OF ELEPHANTS.
in the Majority of Cases 1t Is Under
Eight Feet.

Eight Feet.
The average term of an elephants
life, although there is no precise infor-
nation on the point. is seventy or
eighty years. The elephant is not in
full vigor and strength till thirty-five.
The most ready way of forming an
approximate idea of the age is by the
amount of turnover of the upper edge
Of the ear. In young animals. some
times up to the age of eight or nine
years. the edge is quite straight. 1t,
however, then begins to turn over. and
by the time the animal is thirty the
edges lap over to the extent of an inch,
and between this age and sixty this
Increases to two inches or slightly
more.
Extravagant ideas are held as to
the height of an elephant. Such a
thing AS an elephant measuring ten
feet at the shoulder does not exist in
India or Burma. Sanderson, an ad-
mitted authority on the subject, said
the largest male he ever met with
measured nine feet ten inches and the
tallest female eight feet five inches.
The majority of elephants, however,
are below eight feet, and an animal
rarely reaches nine feet, the female
being slightly shorter than the male.
The carcass of an elephant seven feet
four inches tall weighed in portions
gave total weight of 5000 pounds. so
an elephant weighing two tons should
be common enough. The skin was
about three-fourths of an inch thick.

IAzOO FORfEITS
The FIRST GAME
Back Talk At Umpire And Failure To
Obey Ruling Is Disastrous
To Visitors.


iqYazoo City Monday afternoon, came
Ito an abrupt and most untimely end
In the eighth inning when Umpire
darkel forfeited the game to Hatties-
|)purg . to 0, because of failure of Mis-
ljter Chastant and Manager Jones to
Fespect his ruling. 1t happened this
way: In first half of the eighth, after
yOstrum was an easy out, Chastant hit
{clean to center for one base. Chas-
liant Ia fast base-runner and was
ambitious His instructions were to
steal and he was taking big lead to
SO down on first ball, when suddenly
L6verett shot quick low throw to
StALsm and Chastant's desperate at
tempt to reach the bag was futile.
Markell Immediately waved him out.
Then the young man began to talk
back. He Kicked and protested and
kicked. Markell waved him away,
warned him. and then ordered him
but of the game and out of the park,
and pulled his watch to see that he
was obeyed on time. Chastant at first
made no move but finally began pull
ing on his coat leisurely, but making
no move toward the gate. At the ex-
piration of one minute, Markell an
Inounced game forfeited to Hatties-
burg, Chastant being still at the play

quietly by making no move to hurry
matters. The game had run smoothly
UP to this point and Hattiesburg was
leading to 0. The game, while de-
void of sensational features, was in
teresting. Ostrum for Yazoo City,
pitched good game, having yielded
only four hits, two in third and two in
sixth, and walking two. Leverett for
Hattiesburg had everything good and |

third one in sixth and one in eighth,
