teamsters' union with the Spokane

Bay rum is manufactured from the
dried leaves of Pimento acris. Bay
rum is procured by distillation, and
this in a very simple manner. The
leaves are picked from the trees and
then dried. In this state they are
placed in the retort. which is then I'LL

tillation is carried on. The vapor Is
then condensed IN the usual way anc

Special to The Net0S.
Jackson, Miss, July All is Sc
rene in the Cotton States League
since the Meridian flare-up last week
which for a few days threatened the
life of the compact little organization.
And the race between Jackson and
Greenwood is just about as close and
exciting as it is possible for it to be.
Both teams are going at a good clip,
though Jackson met with a serious
setback on the recent trip.
Greenwood is leading by a narrow
margin, but Jackson has strengthened
the pitching staff recently, and the
team is in better condition than at
any time this season. Nance had
practically only one pitcher till Peters
reported several days ago, but, strange
to say, the team did not strike the to-
boggan till this defect in the team
was partially remedied.
| Greenwood has frightened up a bit
by taking on Boyd, purchased from
Hattiesburg, and is making a grand
fight for first place. The Carpet-Bag
gers hold the lead by a few points
but Jackson, it is believed, will get
behind them again soon, and make the
place too fast for them.

baltimore GIVES UP

!Special to The Netos.


Washington, July THE indica-
tons are that Baltimore will content
herself with star-spangled banner
exposition in 1914 and will not enter
the race for the Panama celebration
as well. There is some newspaper
discussion about double celebration
but it is not likely to reach an i'm
portant stage. Baltimoreans visiting
Washington say that their city will
have achieved enough if it can give
one show, and that it will be willing
to let New Orleans have the honors
of the Panama Fair. The Baltimore
Sun, one of the most powerful papers
in the country, has already come Out
in editorial advocacy of New Orleans
and the sentiment of the city is to be
regarded as distinctly in favor of the
Southern city as against the Pacific
metropolis.

A singular uniformity has been OBJ

accords with the direction Of the revo-
