FRANK SCOTT WAS
ELECTED PRESIDENT.
Prominent t;cksbur3 Fan WIN Lead
Cotton States League This Season.

Hon. W. s. Marye. president Of tho
Greenwood Baseball Association, spent
the latter part of last week in jackson,
taking care of our interests at the
meeting of the Moguls in that city last
Saturday. Mr.. Marye was ais honored by
being proxy for Meridian, whose repre-
sentative was unable to be present.
From all appearances the League had
an interesting and prosperous career
for the 1910 season, and the 1911 round
promises to be better in every respect.
At the meeting last Saturday, Mr..
Frank Scott, of vicksburg, was elected
President. while Judge W. H. Cook, of
Hattiesburg,w was elected Vice-president
for the season Of 1911.
The salary limit was raised from
S1,10O to $1.25O, with the old player
limit Of twelve men and manager re-
tained.
Each club must post forfeit of one
thousand dollars before the opening of
the season, $500 in cash and $500 in
sureties. The old forfeit was only
$500.
The new President was instructed
that the League will receive applica-
tions for franchises from two more
towns, thus enlarging the circuit into
an Eight-team League. -
The meeting was harmonious through
out, and the pending business transact
ed promptly. Greenwood was awarded
the Cotton States League Pennant for
1910 and the official average announced.
After the formal award Of the PEN
nant, the retiring President, Hon. A. G.
Crowder, who served throughout tho
1910 season without compensation, was
presented by the directors with
beautiful silver loving cup.
Columbus, Greenville and Natchez
have made applications fer franchises
and will be given consideration. PEN

1T LOOKS LIKE AN ~ ~ ~
OPERA HOUSE THIS TIME
Samuel Stein Makes Proposition
to Business League that Ought
to Give Greenwood a First
Glass Opera House.

i Mr.. Stein recognizes that it is
nretty stiff proposition to rais'
$4,000 or $4,000 by public sub
scription, especially at the presen
stage of the game, and he resolves
the opera house situation into
this That some person must inves,
the money themselves.
Mr.. STEMS proposition is this:
That he will invest $4,000 in
an opera house building, to be
conveniently located on some of his
lots in the heart of the city, provid-
ed he can have sold 1000 tickets
for the first nights entertainment,
at IS 90 per head, meaning a cash
sale of $4,000 for The initial per-
formance. Mr. Stein says that he
will book the best on the road for
the first show, and wants the Busi-
ness League to meet and appoint a
committee to sell tickets enough
for the first nights performance, to
aggregate $4,000.
Mr. Stein and Architect Frank
Mccoy made a business visit to
1azO0 City the first of the week to
inspect the opera house of that city,
and on his return to Greenwood
stated that he would erect much
handsomer and more commodious
playhouse than Yazoo City has, and
expects to put $4,000 in an opera
house building that will be an Or
nament to Greenwood. He wants
the stage to be no less than 36x6O
feet, with loft no shorter than IS
feet high, in order that the leading
shows, with the swellest of scenery
and the most accomplished of casts,
can comfortably render their per-
formances to the audiences Green
wood would turn out to high class
operas.
Mr.. Stein expects to manage the
opera house himself, and this is
assurance enough to the patrons
The commonwealth., 1910-11-04

What seems to be the best opera
house proposition that has been pu
before the public of Greenwood
and Leflore county has originated
and the beauty of it all is that the
promoter of the plan has the money
to finance the scheme and make it
success in every respect.
Last summer the r. P. 0. +. OF
Greenwood started an opera house
proposition, and it looked good, and
the generous people of Greenwood
and LefIore county assured the pro-
moters Of their willingness to rem
der aid in the erection of an up-tO-
date playhouse for Greenwood, but
owing to the frenzy of finance just
at that time, and especially during
the summer months, all the life
seems to have oozed out Of the Elks
proposition, and, even if they finally
score a success, their scheme will
require considerable time and
money.
One Of Greenwo0d's most prom
inent and wealthiest citizens and
financiers has always taken interest
in the opera house booms that have
been ignited, and several times has
made flattering offers to prospect
i've opera house concerns for the
erection of a cOmmodious play
house in Greenwood. He has offer
ed property, cash and other induce
ment, but every proposition seems
to have let its feet dwindle. This
person is no other than Samuel J.
Stein, and he now comes forward
with proposition that looks good
from every standpoint and makes
Us sanguine of much success in the
erection of an opera house. Mr..
Stein believes that an opera house
will be quite an attractive drawing
card, and so interested is he in the
matter that he has finally determin-
ed to erect an opera house himself.
The commonwealth., 1910-11-04

that only the classiest productions
will be shown in Greenwood. Hi:
intention is to make the parquet
something nifty, with a commodi.
Gus gallery, and artistic boxes. All
accessories to the stage will follow
the plans of the leading show
houses. In fact, Mr.. Stein will give
Greenwood a real, sure-enougl
opera house.
The Commonwealth reporter
called on Mr.. Stein yesterday, when
he had the following to say
Well, Greenwood, now has the
best, and, probably, the only chance
to realize an opera house that will
be credit to the best little city in
the State, which has been for many
years sorely in need of a commodi-
Gus and up-to-date playhouse,
Propositions have been piled before
us, but it seems that there has been
some feature always lacking that
resulted in failures. The Elks had
the best chance, but it seems that
that is surely fallen through. I am
getting tired of Greenwood being
without an opera house, and feel
that my business and real estate
interests would be greatly benefit
ted, as we'll as all others, if Green
wood had the opera house for which
she has been clamoring so long. /
know I have the best proposition
that the people of Greenwood will
ever be offered, and if they are in
such earnest about this opera house
matter, they will certainly grasp
this opportunity of realixing their
object. If I can get the Business
League to appoint competent COM
mittees, who will guarantee a sale
of 1000 tickets for the first per-
formance, to aggregate $4,000, I
guarantee to put up $25, 900 opera
house building that will be a beauty
in every respect. l will also say

MEAT PACKING PLANT
FOR JACKSON
A $25O.O00 Industry To be Establish
ed i'm the Capital City.

Hon. q. A. Wilson, of Lexington, a
well-known capitalist, planter and
banker, was in jackson recently con-
ferring with the local business men
relative TO the plans for establishing a
meat packing plant in jackson, ca pital-
lied at from S240,OOo to S35O,OOO.
While it is the purpose to interest
local ca apitalists in the new industry,
the principal promoters are wealthy
men in other States, who recently sent
agents to look over the field, land who
have made favorable report on the
project.
81 am not at liberty to give the
names Of these parties at present" said
Mr.. Wilson recently, ''but in a short
time a charter will be submitted for
examination by the Attorney General,
and | have no doubt whatever as to the
contamination of the enterprise.
"The gentlemen who are promoting
the concern are convinced that Jackson
furnishes tine most eligible location in
tre State FOR such an industry. This
city is already an important distribut-
ing point for the Wholesale and iobbng
trade and has excellent freight rates and
splendid railroad facilities, aud large
meat packing plant here would draw
its supplies from good section of Mis-
sissippi under conditions that would
enable it to compete with the largest
onpnnrpc in tho oouptpV
"The promoters have ample capital
for building the plant, but am advised
that they are willing to allow local
capital to acquire an interest, believing
that local influences will prove strong
factor in it's support.
"The farmers Of Mississippi are going
into the stock raising industry in
earnest, and we can expect some Won
derful strides within the next few
years. However, it is useless for our
farmers to raise cattle, sheep and hogs
nnIess they can find a ready market for
their animals. and big meat packing
plant in Jackson will supply this need.
The farmers realize that they cannot
slaughter all the meat they raise and

Until recently spraying has been regarded
