Delayed Steal Old But Effective

The delayed steal, used years ago,
is successfully worked by big league
clubs, now, to score a runner from
third. With runners on third and
first the delay steal isyused as a last
resort. when two are out. The runner
on first gives the signal to the man on
third, and then deliberately permits
himself to be nipped off the bag by
taking long lead. 1t is the most natu-
raj thing in the world for a pitcher,
even a veteran, to fall for the chance
to nip a runner. and this is what the
winner wants.
When the pitcher throws the ball the
runner runs for second. and the man
on third, If properly coached. is under
way. If the first baseman throws to
second it's sure the man who has left
third will score. Should the first base
man throw to the plate instead Of to

er. The problem which will form the
chief topic for discussion is how to
increase the selling prices of cotton
products
On account of the continued rise in
the price of raw cotton, the manufac-
turers claim they are making no mon

vanced in proportion to the advance
in the price of raw cotton, and that
is necessary at this time to
relieve the situation.

Biggest mule business in many
years. This is the report i,Iven Out
at the Columbia Stock Yards and the
shipping register shows that more
mules were shipped out last Monday
and Tuesday than any former days oil
comparative dates. In January, 1909
on same days twenty-six car loads
were shipped out.
Manager Frank Dale, of the Colum-
bia Stock Yards, was seen by a Herald
reported this morning and gave out
the following information:
Your estimate of the first Mon
days mule business was a most con-
sentative one, and if anything you
undershot the mark. That 1000 mules
were on the streets of Columbia Mon
day was an assured fact and it is pos
sible that that amount was exceeded
by several hundred. There were in
addition to the mules on the streets
several hundred head that were never
brought out, but We're sold in the sta
bles. Our register Of the shipments
will show that there were many hun
dred mules over the thousand esti-
mate placed by your paper.
I'VE shipped out Monday and Tues
day thirty-two car loads, averaging
twenty-six mules to the car, making
total of S32 head actually handled
through this institution. | place the
of mules that were bought
here and led through the country to
adjacent towns at $50 to 175. In addi-
ton to this number of local buyers
and the farmers bought heavily and
took them to their farms and barns
for future shipments. | figure that
many more than 1000 mules changed
hands here on those two days"
Mr. Dale was asked what estimate
he put on the mules in dollars and
cents and replied that $4,000 to
S175 600 would be a most conservative
estimate placed on the 1000 or more
sold. This is an average price of
$4,000 per head or a little more.
Il consider" said Mr.. Dale, that

years past There were mules here

Nashville. They were here from down
on the Tennessee River, Savannah
Olive Hill, Clifton, Adamsville and
many other points.
The quality OF the mules were
much better in flesh and. individuality,
than they were the first Monday in
December. The prices were good and
they found ready buyers"
Among the heaviest and most prom
inent buyers were j. w. Scoggins &
Co. of Atlanta; c. B. Allen. of Ash

Ala; Thomasyille Live Stock Co., of

Co. of Columbia and numbers of other
local buyers who bought less than car
loads. Howard & Co were the heav-
lest buyers and sellers. They bought
four car loads and sold ten loads, and
still have 200 mules in their barns.
That Columbia is the leading mule
market of the South is easily seen
from the above figures and facts, and
that the general public has recognized
it as such is shown by the heavy in
pour of mules here on these occasions
from other counties. The Southern
buyers realize that they must come

deliver the Peabody Normal bonds
without further delay.
NASHVILLE, Tenn Jan. 6.-For
postponement OF Peabody bonds, %;
against postponement. 20.
The above is the story of the end
of the most momentous fight probably
ever waged in the County Court OF
Davidson County, that on the delivery
of the county's bonds to the Peabody
Trustees. The end came yesterday
afternoon at 1886 O'Clock, when the
call of the roll upon the Richardson
resolution was begun. For two days
able lawyers and distinguished citi-
Gems had argued before the court the
merits of the proposition on the one
side or the other, and it was with a
feeling of distinct relief that the Pea
body question was finally disposed of.
Like lot of worn out school-boys the
Esquires shot through a motion to adj
journ until 10 O'Clock this morning,
without taking time for anything else,
and almost as one man they rushed
out into the nall OF the eleventh tioor
of the Stahlman Building and out Of
the building.
If Bishop Lawrence and Richard
Olney are correct in their interpreta-
ton of the sentiment of the Trustees
of the Peabody fund, the passage OF
the Richardson resolution means the
loss of the George Peabody College
for Teachers and the withdrawal of
the annual appropriation to the pres
ent Peabody Normal College. Accord
ing to the opinion expressed by both
of these members of the parent Board
this will be the result of the passage
of the resolution
