Association Called to Meet
tuesday Night
FUNDS must BE RAISED
Tag Day" May be Given to PROVIDE
Money for Pay Of Persons to LOOK
After Children on the Public Play
grounds.

Preliminary plans for opening ana
maintaining the public Fairgrounds on
The Casino and in East End and Nor'h
End this summer will be discussed
by the board OF directors OF the New
port News Playground Association a'
s o'clock Tuesday night III the iouhs
Mems Christian Association. one ol
the principal things TO be discussed Is
the matter of raising funds Tor the
maintenance Of the Fairgrounds ana
the employment of competent man
ayers TO look after the children each
day during the summer months.
The playground association was OF.
ganized last year by a committee ol
fifteen citizens who were Interested III
The youth of the city. A playground
was established on the Casino GROUNDS
I'm June and was maintained through
out the summer. Later grounds were
established in North End and East
End. but after they had been III
operation about thirty days they had
10 be closed because of lack oil
funds to keep them going. The as
sociation will begin work early thls
year and they hope to secure sufiic'
lent funds to operate ali three OF the
playgrounds throughout the summer.
Tag Day" Suggested.
One method of raising funds that
has been suggested and which prob
ably will be put into effect is the hold
ing of a Tag Day" Small red tags
will be sold at five or ten cents each
and every person will be expected 10
nf ladies
will be stationed along Washington
avenue and in North End ana East
End and every passerby VIII De ONO
tally tagged" by them. This plan
has been tried here before with more
or less success.
The apparatus which was used last
year on the Fairgrounds has been
kept intact during the winter and car
he set up at little cost. The only run
ring. expenses necessary will be the
salaries of the three supervisors who
will look after the children While
they are at play. 1t is estimated that
the total cost of maintaining the three
grounds this year will be not more
than 5000.
LARGE Attendance Last Year.
Last summer the total attendance al
the play grounds was 10000 children
A majority of these used the Casino
play grounds, but even after th'
supervisors of the North End an'
East End grounds had TO be dropped
because of the lack of funds to pay
them. an average of 100 children uset
those grounds each day. While the
e,nar.-icorc were in charge the attend
ance was much larger
The prime advantage of the puDhc
play grounds is to keep the children
from playing in the streets. thereby
lessening the chances of their INJURY
or death beneath the wheels OF street
cars. automobiles and wagons.

Kent's Triple in Eight Breaks
Up Interesting Game.
COOKE PUZZLES LOCALS
Bio Soldier Twirler Allows Only
Three Scattered Singles-Fans Ap-
parently Well Pleased With Show
ing of Home Talent.

Oscar Kents triple TO right field III
the eight round broke up a fairly IN
teresting baseball game ON the casino
lot yesterday afternoon between Inc
Fort Monroe Peninsula League team
and a picked zine composed OF play
ers from the North End and Athletic
teams, the soldiers getting away on
the long end OF a > TO count. Up
To the time OF Kent's smash, the re-
suit was very much in doubt as Inc
teams had see-sawed through seven
innings, the home talent tying up the
score on the visitors three different
times. When X Mt came up IN the
eight two soldiers were on base anu
they trotted home with the winning
runs.
All things considered, the game was
not a half bad one. The locals start
ed out with a rather weak me
up which was weakened sun
more before the contest was
many rounds old and consequently
their showing was pleasing TO the two
hundred or more fans on hand. Slinp-
son. who went the full route, pltched
creditable game and with better
support he would have kept the score
down.
Cooke pitched fine ball for the
soldiers. allowing only three scatter
ed singles. He appeared TO De
stronger at the finish than at the
start and apparently has the making
of a good twirler He has plenty oil
speed and good breaking curves, Dnt
is slightly wild. His wildness with
men on bases was largely responsible
for the three runs gathered by the
locals.

who were members of the retrench-
ment committee, have stated that they
would stand by the retrenchment re-
port without a single change On the
eve of the first meeting of the lower
branch when the report was taken
up, MIR. helms sand that IL the COM
mon council amended the report, the
amended report would be killed by the

ticaily certain that The upper branch
will refuse to concur in that action

In all probability a special meeting
of the common council will be held
this week for a further consideration
OF the retreBchment matter. Another

Second: We therefore recommend
to the farmers of Williamsburg
county that for this season they put
on their cotton bales not more than
"a pounds of bagging and ties. In
so doing it is understood that we
yield not one iota of principle, but
submit for the time being only be-
cause in our state of unpreparedness
we deem it not the part of wisdom
or expediency to attempt to cope
single-handed with powerful or
ganization. and we look forward
hopefully to the day when by united
effort the cotton growers can assert
their rights and maintain them.
We also recommend that the
Farmers Unions throughout the
State take the matter up at once and
urge the cooperation of the order
in all the cotton-growing States"

Nv Cotton Growers at Meeting
Held Here Monday, September s.

Whereas, the bulk OF our cotton
crop is annually exported to Euro
pean markets, and whereas, the Eu-
ropean manufacturers have agreed
upon a 6cS tare and the same is now
allowed on all cotton exported to
European markets, and whereas, all
the exporters of the United States
have instructed their local buyers to
demand of the cotton growers that
only six yards of bagging per bale
be used, which would amount to
from IS to % pounds instead OF 80
. pounds, which is 695 of 500 weight
bale:
And. whereas, we believe it is the
practice of the said exporters buy
ing our cotton thus secured to add
extra bagging and ties, sufficient to
make up the 80 pounds as now al
lowed, thus defrauding the cotton
growers from year to year out of
eight to twelve pounds of lint per
bale, which takes out Of their pock-
cts thousands of dollars annually;
therefore,
Be it resolved, by the farmers OF
Williamsburg in mass meeting as
sembled,
First: That, while we deplore the
present conditions prevailing and feel
that We are being oppressed and
imposed upon by an organization
seeking to rob the cotton producer
of the product of his toll contrary
to right and justice and the laws of
the State of South Carolina, yet in
the face of present circumstances
we feel that at this time we are
powerless to resist this oppression
and submit under protest only until
