cent. stronger than the Greenwood,
Yazoo City and jackson teams. While
the latter may win games occasionally,
when they do It will be In contests
where the element Of luck plays con-
spicuous part
And the most regrettable part of it
is that the first division teams con-
tinue to strengthen, while very little
in this direction has been done by sec
ond division teams. The managers say
that 1t is impossible to get capable
players at this season of the year
without going far in excess of the
salary limit, and this they are unwill-
ing to do.
However, Managers Mills, of Vicks-
burg, Smith of Hattiesburg and Wal
dron of Meridian, do not seem to en-.
counter much trouble in getting new
players of established merit. For in
stance, Hattiesburg was Joined today
by Viebahn, formerly member of the
twirling STAFF at Nashville, and it is
understood that the purchase price
paid was $500. Other new players are
to join Meridian and Vicksburg before
the close of the week, according to
current reports.
During the last series here Manag-
er Carlos Smith offered $500 for RUDE
Peters, pitcher of the Jackson team
The offer was declined. Manager JEFF
ries figured it out that if Peters is
worth that much to Hattiesburg he
ought to be worth more to Jackson,
Notwithstanding the fact that he has
been working in rather poor luck this
year. Smith left Jackson with some
what exalted opinion of Peters be-
cause of the fact that he was struck
out twice by the ex-Memphian in Sat
urday's game, and failed to get his
usual hit in four times at bat
"Apropos of Carlos Smith and his
bunch of pennant chasers, the story is
going around the circuit that the Hat
tiesburg manager has swallowed a
horseshoe, and the only chance to re-
move 1t is by having him kidnapped
and a surgical operation performed
1t Is an undisputed fact that luck has
been travelling his way in carriages
ever since the opening of the season.
None of the players have met with Sc
rious accidents, and he has been parti-
ularly fortunate in picking players
Furthermore, his individual game is
the best he has ever played, even in
the palmy days when he was star out
fielder of the Birmingham team, and
one of the leading sluggers on that cir
cult. During the,'past week he has
kept his batting average close to the
400 mark.
Much interest is attached to the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. series this
week, as it is expected to show in a
rather conclusive manner the relative
strength Of the teams that are now at
the top Of the percentage column.
Tuesdays game will probably be a
pitchers battle between the star twirl
ers of the circuit, Eaton and Sparks.

New Orleans is already one Of the
worlds greatest coffee ports. A fleet OF
ships come here in a year loaded with
Brazilian coffee. In these receipts
New Orleans is only second to New
York, but we send no cargoes back
in return. We load these coffee ships
with cotton, slaves, grain and other
products for British and Continental
ports and there they take cargoes for
Rio and Santos. 1t is triangular trade
and is direct only one way. r.:
Charleston may be able-to get coffee
direct from Brazil, but can it have
ready return cargoes? That is the
crux of the proposition. That is what
the New Orleans merchants have got
to do, whether they use their own
ships, or hire others. The problem is
to fill every 12,0OO-ton ship that comes
with coffee, with merchandise, which
the Brazilians want, and send it
straight to Brazil: That is direct
trade, and it is for these Whe can

Judging from the tone of a letter

there is a suspicion that the morning
newspaper of Columbia is resorting to
accomplish by bushwhacking methods
what it failed to do by open warfare.
The writer of the letter dated at Cope
does not believe 81. W. Justice" is the
real name of the writer who signs the
letters over that name published In
the State, but that the writer Of those
attempts at satire is connected In some
way with the paper. The writer from
Cope is not alone i'm his belief; there
are many who have the same opinion,
and these think the States opposition
to the present governor could be made
more effective if it would, in conser-
vative, but open manner, make known.
it's opposition and the reasons there
for. If the State would commend the
good things done by the governor, and
in proper manner criticize his mis-.
takes it would be rendering the State
a good service and its influence would
be potent force; as it is, the masses
look upon the States opposition as
being prompted by personal spleen
and that it would hesitate at nothing
unfair to accomplish its purpose to
cripple Governor Blease in the pub
lie estimation.
We, too, have criticized the COVER
nor when we thought he should be
criticized, and will continue so to 90,
but at the same time those of his acts
which We approve we shall and have
commended. In other words, we are
disposed to be fair, and we think e7-
cry newspaper should strive to be.

Success seems due to several causes

the incongruity of the name with the
