is steadily improving, although but
a comparatively small part of the
crop now being brought TO market is
Of the high grades.
The high price for the week was
at the rate of 80 cents per. pound,

houses.
Arrangements are being made for
a much heavier business next week.

heavy breaks. Sales will exceed the
million pound mark next week, and
prices may be expected to hold up.
Prospects Bright.
One OF the well-known handlers
here stated yesterday that the PROF.
poets for the men with tobacco to
sell were of the brightest. He did
not think that there was any like
lihood of any break in the prices II
the crop Is marketed with Judgment.
Any great rush OF the crop TO mar
ket, he thought. would have a ten
dency to depress the price somewhat.
but that Ii the crop was marketed
In good order and in reasonable
quantities he thought the prices
would hold up well the entire sea-
son.

house. described In these columns
several weeks ago. Is now entirely
complete. and its owner believes II
to be the most modern and the best
equipped structure Of the kind In the
world. . it III Ut concrete accnstrae-

be described as the father of the
hurley tobacco trade on the Rich

son to begin next week although re-
ceipts will not be heavy until some

The community Is pleased that Mr.

that the officers OF this company were

But now that our Mr.. Post has been

Lewis WANTS Rules
OF GAME CHANGED
Favors Draft Price of $500 For Glass
D. Players; Fixed Salary
Limit.
Special to The News.

bpCOtbt ~ W. &'Nso'
Jackson, Miss, Nov. S.-President
A. Lewis, Of the Cotton States league,
has received letter from Secretary
Farrell, of the National Association
of Professional Baseball clubs, advis-
ing him that the matter of contracts
with players will be brought up for
discussion at the national meeting in
San Antonio next week.
This is matter in which Glass d.
leagues are vitality interested. Owing
to personal business matters, Presi-
dent Lewis will not be able to attend
the meeting, but he has sent a proxy
to President B. S. Dickinson, Of the
Southwest Texas League, accompanied
by a letter setting forth his ideas as
to the new laws that should be franz
ed on the subject.
President Lewis wants the draft
price on Glass D. players increased
from $500 to $780, and the signing of
umpires on contract forms similar to
players, with the right of reservation,
and also to be drafted the same as
players.
To compel all clubs to stay within
the salary limit is the chief question
that is now troubling the Glass D. or
CARNATIONS. and Secretary Farrell
states in his letter to President Lewis
that at the San Antonio meeting a
new contract form. including an afh
davit as to the players salary, is tC
be submitted
President Lewis believes this is
good as far as it goes, but does moi
go far enough, and he has sent tC
President Dickinson, of the South
west Texas league, a rough outline O
the amendments that Clas D. league:
ought TO propose. Briefly stated, he
wants to provide that any player who
cept terms proposed by any club
knowing that the terms and salary
stated therein are not contract, OF
who receives. or expects to receive, {
salary or compensation in excess o
that stipulated in the contract shall
be fined 800 and be barred from pro
fessional baseball for period of on
year.

 Stones have been esteemed as lucky or unlucky. and to have certain ones in possession is a blessing or curse. Some stones have been said to- carry maledictions to those who unlawfully hold them. This may seem ridiculous to us. but the Orientals believed 1t most devoutly. It was upon this hypothesis that Wilkie Collins wrote the myste- rious story of the "Moonstone." In the story the moonstone is yellow dia- mond whose brilliancs increased or de- creased with the waxing and waning of the moon. It once had place in the forehead of a god in India. but. being stolen therefrom, disaster ever fol- lowed the thieves and those to whom it was pa ssed on.

 The formation of diamond, which, as I said was originally carbon, is a most fascinating process, and to study it is to find profound interest. It is a process of 'Competition vs. Cooperation" here ask the reader to turn to Ruskin' S Mod ern Painters. where he will find Ruskin's poetic description of the diamond and other stones progressing into their beauty and value. He says, 'Take merely an ounce or two of blackest slime of a beaten footpath on rainy day, near a manufacturing town. That slime we shall find in most cases composed of clay mixed with soot, little sand and water. Let us suppose that this ounce of mud Is left at perfect rest, and that it's elements gather together, like to like, so that their atoms may get into the closest relations possible. Let the clay begin. Kidding itself of all foreign substances, it grad ually becomes a white earth, already very beautiful. and fit with the help of congealing fire to be made into the f1n- est porcelain, and painted on, and be kept in kings palaces. But such artificial con- sistence is not it's best Leave 1t still quiet, to follow its own instinct of unity. and it becomes not only white but clear; not only white and clear but hard: not only clear and hard but so ser that 1t can deal with light in a wonderful way, and gather out of it the loveliest blue rays only. refusing the rest. We call it then a sapphire.
 Such being the consummation of the clay, we give similar permission of quiet to the sand. It also becomes. at first, a white earth; then proceeds to grow hard and clear, and at last arranges itself in mysterious, infinitely fine parallel lines which have the power of ref1ecting not merely the blue rays, but the blue the green, purple and red rays in the greatest beauty in which they can be seen through any hard material whatsoever. We call 1t | then an opal
 | 'In next order the soot sets to work. It | cannot make itself white at first. but in stead of being discouraged, tries harder and harder and comes out clear at last.
