President Tom Noyes, of the Wash
ington Baseball Club, arrived home from
Chicago last night. where he has been in
attendance, with Manager Jimmy Nc
Aleer. at the schedule meeting Of the
American League.
Asked what he thought OF the schedule
from a Washington standpoint, Mr..
Noyes replied: Its the best schedule
the American League ever handed our
club. ! couldn't have arranged a better
one myself. You viii notice, Mr.. Noyes
said, that We take a funny jump out 30
Detroit July 13 to play four games; some
what of an innovation. The reason for
this is because the aDnual Elks' conven-
ton is held in the City Of Straits then,
and there viii be 1900 or 100000 strangers
looking about for recreation. Attend
ance figures will jump. and we will hard
" lose money by making the journey"

ing splendid" vouchsafed Mr.. NOyes.
Hes taken on about twenty pounds
weight and is enthusiastic about the
club, and is also anxious to get down to
work"
When questioned about Walter Johnson
and the advisability Of allowing the
pitcher to remain in California until
April /, Mr.. Noyes said: 'McAleer tells
me that Walter is taking things easy
out on the Coast, and that he feels con-
ident the big fellow win be benefited
more if he is allowed 10 stay until il
comes time for the season TO open in

Mr.. Alexander.

On plane far above that of dema-
gogue. daring to tell us our faults,
though a candidate for public office,
Hon. c. H. Alexander gathered about
him a concourse of thoughtful, truth
loving men and women, and held them
for a full hour though the sun poured
down in almost blistering intensity.
1t was in no critical mood that Mr..
Alexander spoke. AS one of US, as cit
izen of a great state, whose soil had
given him birth; proud of her record
and glory of the past; optimistic OF
her great and mighty future; stirred
with loyalty and patriotism at the
very mention of the name, "Mississip-
pi," Mr.. Alexander could yet see the
breakers ahead and was brave enough
and courageous enough to stand forth
and state those faults. AS a citizen
Mr.. Alexander felt the call OF
duty to sound a warning: as a law
yer with keenly analytical mind he
outlined the remedy.

'SISSON TRIES TO 4
SOLVE The BOIL
WEEVIL PROBLEM
Special to The NeUs.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 14.-Congress-
man T. U. Sisson, of the Fifth Mis-
sissippi district, was at the capital
last night. returning from visit to
the boil weevil districts of Southwest |
Mississippi and North Louisiana, |
where he spent several days studying
agricultural conditions.
Within the past two weeks the boil
weevil has invaded several of the
counties in the district represented
by Mr.. Sisson. and, as farmer and
representative of the people, he has
set about the task of arriving at an
Intelligent understanding of the new
problems that are presented.
s'That, the advent of the boil weevil
means an agricultural revolution
wherever the pest appears cannot be
for a moment questioned" said Mr..
Sisson last night ut is. from every
viewpoint, the most serious question
that has ever confronted the farmers
OF the south. we frequently HSal IhN
assertion that the boil weevil is a
blessing in disguise. This, perhaps
will prove true, but, speaking as
farmer and land owner who has a
vital personal interest in the matter
l don't want the disguise too long
maintained In other words, | want
the blessing to make its appearance
while | am still on EARTH and to this
end | believe nat every farmer ir
the Sou, where the weevil has
me- lie its appearance, or is likely tC
make its appearance, and all others
who are interested in our materia
welfare, should set thems elves 10 the
task of working out our agriculture
sa walton.
'The revolution is upon us, and i
is going to be harsh and radical il
many respects. While it has beef
shown that cotton can be grown il
spite of the boil weevil, this is no
going to be generally true. In othe
words, cotton cannot continue as on
sole and only reliance as a cash crol
The doctrine of diversification is be
ing earnestly preached, and the farm
ers must heed it.

more than repaid the crowds for the
various discrepancies in the program.
1t is estimated that more than hve
thousand persons witnessed this mag
nificent display, and many people who
have seen fireworks exhibitions in
some of the largest cities of the Unit
ed States stated that never before
had they witnessed anything so thor
oughly beautiful.
This feature of the program was in
charge of an expert, and the demon
stration last night furnished ample
evidence that he thoroughly under
stood his business. From the time the
first mortar was fired at 1880 o'clock
until the closing piece, there was not
seconds intermission. Piece after
piece was fired in rapid succession,
and the atmosphere was continually
lighted with beautiful aerial creations
representing every hue of the rainbow.
Each piece furnished new and pleas
ant surprise for the spectators, and
the throngs gave expression to their
pleasure in long and loud applause as
each piece was fired and disseminate
ed it's wondrous beauty into the air,
hundreds of feet above the ground.
The reproduction of the Mississippi
Normal College was the greatest and
most pleasant surprise of the occasion
When this piece was lighted. and the
handsome structure reproduced II
many colors of fire began to take form
with the words, Normal College dis
played in large letters, the multitude
cheered enthusiastically.
This feature of the Prosperity Da.
program was a huge success, and hac
there been nothing else doing durint
the day the people would doubtless
have felt amply rewarded for theil
trouble in attending the celebration

Water Throwing Exhibition.

In the afternoon the streets were
cleared for a water-throwing exhibit
ton by the Hattiesburg fire depart
ment. Unlike previous demonstra-
lions, this feature was not entirely
satisfactory. Chief Potter attempted
to construct a fire wall" something
never before attempted by the Hat
tiesburg fire department, and, owing
either to the carelessness or indiffer-
ence of the hose men, numerous spec
tators. were thoroughly drenched.
After the streams had been gotten
under control, however, the exhibit
ton was carried out very satisfacto
rily.

PROBLEM Not Solved.

"But this alone does not solve ocr
problem. The business men and the
capitalists of our State have duty
to perform, duty of as much impor-
lance as that confronting the farm
ers. We must make markets for our
diversified crops. 1t is useless to tell
the farmers to raise hogs, corn, hay,
and other products, unless ready mar
kets for these products can be found
by the farmers. At present our en-
tire business system is framed for the
marketing of the cotton crop, and we
have no facilities for handling farm
products Of any other character.
settles like Jackson must establish
packing plants, and grain elevators,
and make it known to the farmers
that all of their crops can find easy
markets for cash whenever the
the products are brought to town. OF
course, much of the corn crop will be
used in fattening animals for mar
keet, and there must be a ready sale
for these animals. In other words
instead of having htme shipped tc
st. Louis or Chicago, they should be
slaughtered at home, and our OWL
people will thus be given new reve
nues for industrial enterprises, in
stead of allowing raw produts to g
to foreign markets.

will be able to eventually solve thes
problems, just as they have solved al
other problems with which they hav
beeen confronted in former years.

WHY HESITATE?
An Offer That Involves No Rish for
Those Who Accept it.

We are so positive our remedy will
completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic it may be, that
we offer to furnish it free of all cost
if it fails.
Constipation is caused by weakness
of the nerves and muscles of the large
intestines or descending colon. To
expect cure you must therefore tone
up and strengthen those organs and
restore them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies ON our guarantee. They are eat
en- like candy, and particularly ideal
for children. They act directly on the
nerves and muscles of the bowels.
They have a neutral action on the 9TH

purge or cause any inconvenience
whatever. They will positively over
come chronic or habitual constipation

Many Grievous Faults.

Non-enforcement of the law, result
ing in the appeal to violence; one law
for the rich, another for the poor,
resulting in contempt for the law;
the encroachments of predatory
wealth, or corporate influence, the
habit of carrying the pistol, that
weapon whose only target is human
heart, were our most grievous faults,
as outlined by Mr.. Alexander; but
he did not claim that Mississippi alone
was to be censured for these, or that
they were our own particular faults,
but seeing the trend of affairs, and
loving his state, he wished to do all
in his power towards leading her citi-
zens on to a greater and more glori-
GUS future and to appeal to her citi'
zens who have always answered the
call of duty and of patriotism to rise
above these handicaps to true great
ness.
Less of liberty and more or law
less of hip-pocket chivalry and great
er honor and reverence for the courts
the exaltation of the citizen as op
posed to the corporation in govern
ment, purity of the ballot and The
education of the people to spirit o
the duties of true citizenship formed
the basis of Mr.. Alexander's appeal.

Mr.. Collier said he did not attend
the Prosperity Celebration for the
purpose of talking, but to enjoy the
far-famed hospitality of Hattiesburg.
But that the good time that he was
having among great and generous
people impelled him to answer any
call, even to that of delivering an i'm
promptu address, That the half had
J never been told about HattiesDurg and
her people
Mr.. Collier drew a picture of the
past when the primeval forest cover
ed all this section. He told of the
coming of the woodman, the spring
ing up of towns and villages the es-
tablishment of fertile farms, the build
ing of railroads, until today Hatties-
burg sits the crown jewel of broad
and prosperous territory. Prosperity
5 Day, Mr.. Collier said, was a great
/ idea. And it means a greater Missis-
V sippi. The trumpets of farms are
calling today as they did to Lee and
