amounted to S117,312, 1O5. as compared

CHANGES EARNINGS MOST.
Wagner, Clarke and King Also Get
High Salaries.

Frank Chance manager of the Cubs.
with the exception of Connie Mack,
manager of the Athletics, who owns
stock in the club, is considered to be
far and away above all other active
players in his earning from baseball.
This. too, is because Chance also is a
stakeholder in the Chicago club, own
ing a one-tenth interest
Chance prior to the season of 1903,
received salary of $4,000 a year. which
was augmented bX,. his dividends and
the share of one player in post season
and exhibition game receipts. Chance
then signed four-year contract at
$500 year, but a dispute arose be-
tween him and Charley Murphy. pres
ident of the club. and he announced
that he would not play with the Cubs.
A Chicago man was sent to CalifOr-
MIA to arrange a truce between Chance
and Murphy. One of the conditions OF
the truce was that no parity to it
should ever reveal the salary part OF
the deal. whether raised or continued
the sarge. But with his dividends on
his one-tenth interest Chance earns be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 a year, prob
ably $4,000 l. year on an average.
because or the Natlonal CoIilllilS-
sion decision in his case, sentencing
him to play for his contract salary. it
Is known that Johnny King signed a
three-year contract for $4,000. To this.
Of course. must be added what the
players get from the post season Sc
ries, which, when played. run up to
$500 or $4,000 extra. Brown, overall.
Tinker and Evers probably receive
amounts varying from $4,000 to $4,000.
Fred Clarke of the worlds champion
Pirates is reputed to receive S12.5O0 an
nually for services as player and man
ager. while Wagner is called a $4,000
beauty. although it is not likely that
figure Is crorect Ty Cobb of Detroit is
reported to receive $4,000 a year. Prob
ably some salt can be placed on this
estimate. also.
The average player of experience on
a winning club considers himself as
worth from $250O to $4,000. while one
with pretentions to being star esti-
mates himself as worth from $4,000 to
5000. depending on the club and his
ability But the life of the ball player
is short. club owners with winning
teams are taking in enormous profits.
and of sentiment there is little.
1t Is pretty safe to say that the play
ers earn all they get.

INSPECTOR Of
FEED IS BUSY
!. HAMPTON JONES, LOOKING
AFTER IMPURE FEEDSTUFFS
FOR STOCK, SAYS VISIT HERE
WAS NOT WITHOUT RESULT.

]. Hampton Jones, state inspector of
stock feeds, who has been in the city
for the past three days, last night
stated that his visit here had not been
without results. He said that he had
found oats, purchased in all the good
faith in the world by the dealer, to
contain more barley than is allowed by
law, and one dealer to whom Inspector
Jones spoke to said, according to re-
port, that he would get his legal firm
to make a test of the inspectors
opinion if necessary. The inspector
quoted the law to him, and no opinion
was sought.
Mr.. Jones said that he had found
what had been purchased for good oats
in number of cars here, and discov-
cred that they were not good enough
to have the inspection card attached
He said that he had stopped such. A
little instruction along the line of the
laws requirements was given local
traders, and the inspector anticipates
no further trouble. He is the only in
spector of stock feeds in the state.

Opportunities For the Young Man
Who Will Stay With the Farm
BY Peter Stanley.

Half century ago to be planter"
was the highest pride of a Southern
gentleman and the fondest hope of his
ambitious posterity, because the plant
er was universally recognized as hav-
ing both brains and wealth.
But one day the Southern farmer
awoke and found
Well, the tale has been too often
told to be interesting to repeat, so the
farmer began pushing his sons out
into the professional life, to the cities
and towns, so as to preserve that
grand old aristocracy of the family
name. Agricultural studies and pur-
suits were practically abandoned; the
fine old country homes were neglected
and soon began disappearing, crude
cabins taking the places of large man
sions and small patches" taking the
places of plantations. Happiness was
wounded and health slaughtered.
The prettiest picture we can draw
from our imagination today is now in
the bud and about to develop into a
full blown flower. 1t is the great
agricultural interests of the South.
Every acre Of soil is bounding upward
in value with remarkable rapidity.

fenced-not in the old way, cutting
down a few trees and making a
brush fence around the patch but
the lands are being 'stumped" and put
in first class condition for cultivation
and enclosed with good wire fences.
tSuch clearing and fencing Of lana
means that the owner sees a future to
it, and that there is permanence to
this agricultural business in the great
South. Well, there is the implement
feature which tells its own story. The
very best and latest improved ma
chinery is being installed. An old vet
eran said to me the other day:
yes, the Yankees took our slaves
away from US and we thought we were
ruined, but the same fellow came along
and gave us farm machinery and bless
God we are better off,"
With improved farm machinery,
lands properly cleared of stumps ana
roots and with heavy stock-the kind
these Southern farmers are beginning
to put On their farms, indeed we are
better off without the slave. We are
teaching our boys the practical lessons
of real farming.
Good homes-comfortabl homes,
homes where the boys and girls love
