years ago, John M. Oracle, who owns

and has the distinction of owning the
largest plantation acreage of any man

dicted that the experiment would be
unsuccessful, but the settlement is
still there and the Italians have been

Former Arkansas Boy Working Good
With tn New York GiantS-Car-
dinal Boom Disappears.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 2S.--When
the st. Louis Cardianls dropped out of
the running for the pennant in the Ma
tional League, the people of Arkansas
for the most part turned their fancy
to the Chicago Cubs in preference to
the New York Giants, but Little Rock
is roofing loudly for the Giants, and
hope to see Manager McGraw land the
pennant. This is on account of En-
gene Paulette. local boy being with
the Giants Seals Becker, formerly
right fielder on the Little Rock team
of the Southern league, is also play
ing with the New York team. Paulet-
tie, after having been taken from the
local semi-professional teams in the
early summer, warmed the bench I'M
til the past week, when he played
short stop in one game, and first base
in another against the Chicago Cubs.
With these teams fighting for the pen
nant and the excitement so intense,
McGraw must think exceptionally we'll
of Paulette to call him into the fray.
Paulette made his bow before more
people than he ever saw at one time
in Arkansas, but went through both
games without an error He was
charged with but one time at bat,
which shows he worked the pitcher to
get on base the other times, or sacri-
feed a runner ahead a base, which
in modern baseball is as effective as
getting a base hit Should the New
York team win, Paulette will share
with the other members of the Giants
in the equal division of spoils of the
a1pennant series in the two leagues.
g Memphis has now purchased Tompkins
the University of Arkansas star of the
past two seasons, and he will report
soon Tompkins will soon reach the

MOVING PICTURES
 OF CORONATION

London, June 11-(Special.) .)-Fuller ana better cinematographic records will be made of the forthcoming coronation events than were ever before attempted in Great Britain. Moreover. extraordi- nary energy will be exerted to dispatch the records to the principal cities of the world. The swiftest steamers and trains will be employed in sending the pictures to New York for distribution throughout the United States.
 It Is said that impressions of the early scenes on coronation day will be given to half a dozen operators in the afternoon boats and trains for Paris, that the films will be developed on the train and that the pictures will be exhibited in Paris theatre by g o'clock the same evening. Within less than three days the pictures will be shown in majority of the cen ters of European lifer while London the- atre-goers on the evening of coronation day will see films covering the corona ton itself, and all the related events Pictures will be taken by means of the direct color cinematograph in order that not only the present but future genera tions in all parts of the world may have an exact conception of the events of 1911 in London.

ID TEX RATE FOR
 PANAMA CANAL.

Washington, June (Special)-Before the present extra Congress adjourns, un- less present plans are changed, President Taft will ask for definite action in the matter of fixing the rate of tolls to be charged for passage through the Panama canal This information comes from an authoritative source. The President took up the subject following the arrival in Washington two weeks ago of Lieut.. Col. George w. Goethals, chairman of the
 sthmian canal commission.
 One reason alone, Colonel Goethals has pointed out to the President. calls for the fixing and announcement of the rate be- fore the end of June. In Liverpool this month Is held an annual convention of the shipping interests of the world. This internationa association of shippers ap- pealed to the United States last year for information as to tolls and other details governing the operation of the canal. At that time no answer could be made. According to statements made by Colonel Goethals to the President. this in- ability on our part to announce the rates will eventually cost us in loss of busi- | ness not less than $10.00000O. It Is to avoid an even greater loss, the evitable consequence says Colonel Goethals, of
 Congress- failing again to give Liverpool this information that he has come up from the isthmus and spent every moment of the time the President could give him in the White House, and it is known he has completely won the President to his way of thinking.

HAS $400OFOR
 FORMER SOLDIERS

Jackson, Miss, June 11.-(Special. )-Ad- jutant General Fridge, headquarters in this city, has a fund of about s40oo which belongs to the members of Company "C," Third Mississippi regiment of volunteers In the Spanish American war, and which he would like to get rid of. This money is due to nearly 800 men, In sums of from been written to the parties. but from this number nothing has ever been heard-the men being scattered all over the country.
 The regiment was known as the Third Mississippi, but it was made up of re- cruits from Chicago, St. Louis and other large cities, and there was no tougher enlisted in the war. They never got fur ther away from Mississippi than Florida, and saw no service, save what they got in camp life, but they were to be paid just the same as if they had climbed the enemies ramparts. They received their per diem after being mustered in, but later Congress, or the war department, allowed them pay for the days they were in camp before being mustered in-hence the small and variable sums.
 The officers of the regiment were Mis- sissippians, and the SS3. the largest sum yet due to any one officer is for Lieut.. Charles w Westmoreland of Company "C," and who is understood to have come from the city of Columbus.
 General Fridge gives this notice in hopes that members of the regiment will see it and send in their names and postofficc addresses so that he may pay them what is theirs.

London, June 11.-(Special.)-It Is stated today with apparent authority that the officers of the International Seamen union have fixed June IS as the date of the worldwide strike of sailors. Those who assert that they are in charge of the movement express confi- dence that enough men will obey the sig nal at the various ports to paralyze the shipping business.

 OVER L.GN. CHANGES
Citizens Oppose Making of 24-FoOt Cut Through

cullman, June 11.-(spec'al)-A large per cent of the citizens and property owners of the town are considerably wrought up over the proposition of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany because of the fact that in the inn provements which that company propose to make In their tract from Decatur to Birmingham, when they reach the city limits north of town their intentions are said to be to lower the track through the city limits which will nacesstate the digging of cut 24 feet through the heart of the town, and will result in the clos ing up of certain streets ill the southern part of town.
 It is said that the company proposes to erect overhead bridges at Second, Third and Fourth streets and are s.-id to be seeking to have the city corT.cil close Fifth, Sixth and Seventh stTeets. The information along this line is unofficial. but is said to be based on sufficient grounds to warrant an ardent protest from the citizens and property owners
 in the south part of town, and at the next meeting of the city council a num- ber of these men, headed by F. E. St John, will appear before that body and enter their protests against the action oi the company. It Is said that majority of the city council favor the proposition
 It is also said that the company will move their passenger station to the north of where it now Is to point near where the Dreher Manufacturing company s plant is located This is also not very pleasing to the patrons of the road in Cullman. However the citizens have nothing to do with this part of the game.
 The fire last night was almost iden- tically in the same place where one of the two fires occurred here one week ago, and almost at the same hour of the night. The fire started in the rear of a soft drink stand operated by G. Baader, in an old building which was used by Baader and G. W. Johnson as a kind Of warehouse, and was filled with hay and barrels and other rubbish.
 The frequent occurrence of these fires is being the source of considerable com ment and gossip as to their origin. It cannot be conceived as being probable that two fires would occur at the same place within weeks time of their own accord.
