BASEBALL PROGRAM
FAST TAKING SHAPE
Hattiesb,lrs Proposes to Have a
Pennant Winner In Cotton
States League.

Events in local baseball affairs are
crowding close, one upon the other,
and the cries from the bleachers, the
swish of the bat as it smites the air,
or as it catches the ball ON the nose
for a safety, the partisanship for the
home team, the criticism for His
Umps," the excitement and enthusi-
asm which go to make baseball the
great National game will soon be with
us, and Hattiesburg will be holding an
important position on the baseball
map and figuring in the press dis
patches of nation.
Players are being signed, almost
daily, plans have been accepted for
the grandstand and bleachers at Kam-
per Park, material will be delivered
within the next day or two and the
sound of the saw and the hammer will
be pleasantly audible before the
week end, while gangs of men and
scrapers will be grading and laying of
the grounds where pleasure-loving
Hattiesburg will assemble with COM
mendable frequency during the long
summer afternoons, which are fast
approaching.
The baseball park is to be surround
ed by an eight foot heart pine fence,
the timber for which will be delivered
at once and work on which will begin
this week Architect Lee drew the
plans for the grand stand and bleach
ers and they met the approval of the
committee in charge of arrangements.
The grand stand will accommodate
500 enthusiastic fans, while the
hInaahnrG will nnua1 nIlD1hnr
still more enthusiastic.
AS has been announced the season
will open on April 2Sth, and practice
will soon be the order of the day.
Player-Manager Link Stickney is an
old Cotton States League man and
knows his business from every angle.
He is not only a good organizer and
handles men we'll, but he is a first
class player and will probably hold
down the initial sack on the cham
pionship team.
Isom Jones, one of the stars of the
Delta League of two years ago, and
who did a large part of the twirling
for the Clarksdale team, has been
signed as one of the strong-armed ar
lists and will report when wanted.
Two other men, who look like "finds,"
have placed their names to contracts
and others will be taken on as soon
as their experience and merits are in
vestigated.
And now as to finances. About
$4,000 has been pledged, but another
$1,000 is needed and the committee
will go out this afternoon and get it.
They do not expect any great degree
of difficulty in the matter. A number
of enthusiasts and business men who
were not seen in the first canvass,
have signified desire to help along
good thing and do their part as cit
izens, and they will be seen. There
are others, doubtless, who have not
expressed a desire along this line, but
who will come down literally as soon
as they are approached. If the com
mittee doesn't find you, then forward
your subscription by mail or bring
it in person. 1t will be needed and
will be appreciated.

BURGLARS ARE
Still OPERATING
Attempt Was Made Last Night to En-.
ter the Residence of Judge
Paul B. johnson.

In addition to the numerous bur
glaries committed in this city during
the past few days and recorded in
these columns yesterday, it has be-
come known that this nocturnal prowl-
er carried his operation to. still further
extent than was at first known.
On Sunday night the residence of
Mrs. w. l.. Oakley, on Buschmann
street, was entered and numerous ar
ticles were appropriated. Mrs. Oak
ley, who discovered the mans pres
ence, secured a revolver and fired at
the man after he had left her resi-
dence and was about to effect an en-
trance to the residence of Judge
Hill.
Last Light an attempt was made to
burglarize the residence of Judge
Paul B. Johnson, but for some reason
the thief changed his plans and aban-
doned his intention of entering the
house. Judge Johnson heard the man
walking upon the rear gallery of his
residence and Immediately secured
his revolver, to await the entrance of
the burglar. The man was heard to
try several keys in the door lock, but
for some reason evidently abandoned
his purpose, for his noise ceased, the
man was heard to walk off the gal
lery, and before Judge Johnson could
open the door the man was gone.
Aside fro mthe Collins burglary,
the thief or thieves have confined
their operations almost exclusively to
the pantries of the houses burglarized,
and large quantity of provisions has
been appropriated.

Is Not Dictatinu,

1t is not my purpose in this article
to appear to dictate a plan by which
the people might get together and
avoid long, heated canvass, and the
suggestions which | shall offer below
are not made in this sense, but only
with the view of trying in some legiti-
mate, practical and satisfactory way
to avoid too much politics. These
suggestions are not conceived in a
spirit of any personal interest, or any
interest whatsoever, except as a loyal
citizen of our splendid municipality,
for | have no political ambition to
achieve, nor am | wholly given to the
support of any individual, or individ-
uals, but a desire in common with
majority of the citizens of this city.
to use my franchise for the best and
ultimate good of the city.
We have all agreed in the recent
past that economy in private as well
as public life, is the watchword of
wholesome, financial and political eX-
istence. Indeed the times and condi-
tions are such that it behooves us all
to be extremely economical: this is
true of individual and municipality
alike, even though the individual or
municipality be free from debt or OBJ
legation. 1t is much more important
where an individual or municipality
is incumbered by debt or obligation.
1t is not necessary for me to here
state that Hattiesburg is now incum-
bered with a goodly amount of bonded
indebtedness, even to the extent that
our City Fathers recently, so l am
informed, could not legally submit the
proposition to the qualified electors
of the city for the rebuilding of the
recently condemned High School build
ing. We all admit the need of this
building; in fact it seems imperative,
but we are confronted with a condi-
ton and not theory. This one con-
dition is striking example of our
financial condition, and argues much
for economy.

Is An Experiment.

Then again, the Commission form
of government in this State is an
experiment, and it behooves us to be
careful and not make mistakes. The
Commissioners will interpret and ex-
ecute the law as set forth in the stat
ute to meet existing conditions. l be-
lieve that no extreme radical change
should be made at the beginning,
therefore, to merge from the old into
the new will require men not only of
ability and far-seeing, but men of tact
and discretion.
| think that l voice the sentiments
of our people when express the be-
lief that almost all of the people
want at this time to examine into the
fitness and qualifications of men be-
fore electing them Commissioners.
The thing that is being considered
now by our people, at least people
who have the welfare of this city at
heart, the people in the ordinary
walks of life, as well as those high in
the business world, is the mode or
manner in going about the election of
the three Commissioners.

The One Important Thina.

Now to my point, or to the object
of this article. AS stated above, the
one important thing in all our minds
is the fairest and best way to elect our
three Commissioners. may be ac-
cused Of departing from pure demo-
cratic doctrine in advocating these
suggestions, but If so, my excuse Is
that II democracy or the city Of Hat
tiesburg must suffer, prefer to let
democracy be the sufferer. As one,
all that I have materially is dependent
upon the progress and upbuilding of
Hattiesburg; so II brought to per-
sonal reason this alone should suffice
as a reason for the suggestions.
The fairest way to elect Commits

CHAPTER V


The bitterness toward the dead

memory was e|Necrated by people who
had lost nothing, but who were filled
with disgust by constantly hearing
new stories of the mans grasping

mention Jack Bailey; | had found
nothing to change my impression Of

One day | thought Gertrude knew or at

mother of Lucien Wallace would OBJ

good case might be made against her.
