AMERICAS TO SEE BALL
this WEEK At PARK
COtGPie Of Artists Scheduled
For Week

The ball season got away in good
shape the past week, and where one
of the teams proved a iasco, the
games to be played in the future will
be all that the fans can desire. Ar
rangements have been made to have
the following teams come and try their
mettle with the New Champs. Buena
Vista, with a strong nine composed of
home and hired players, will play one
game here tomorroW-and the mana
ger assures the Americas people that
he will bring a good, strong team with
him.
Wednesday the fastest Macon ANA
teur team comes for a series Of three
games.
This team is the strongest Of the
four teams comprising the City,
League of Macon" and we have it on
good authority they will strengthen
their team with the fastest players
from the other three teams, just 10
beat Americus; can they do it?
Following Macon comes that crack
Alabama bunch-Eufaula- is some
team, too Old Browns Mule" c. c.,
is with them and he will try to make
his former associates feel peeved-
and if any one can do that odd C.
C." is the boy.
The local team is about the fastest
aggregation Americas has ever put
on the diamond. Just take look at
the lineup:
Baby" Wilder, Lee (the Alabama
star, in the box; Tommy Hooks under
the stick; Wheatley on first; Howell
(battink demo-, second; NcCleskey,
short; not quite as sensational as some
we have had, but surer. Vibert had TO
leave us, and We think Halle will be
the man to fill his shoes. Cooper and
Swink in the outfeld make a combi-
nation that can't be beaten in ANA,
teur ball.
Swink will report here Monday, and
will be in the game with Buena Vista
Lee is expected every day and will
probably be here for the game Mon
day, too.
1t is going to take a fine ball team
in every department to hold it's own
with the New Champs; however, We
are going to tackle such teams as Ten
mile. Probably the Tennille team
will be our 4th of July attraction.
Thomasville writes that she will take
us on later as they must get together
la team fast enough to compete with
with us That's the reputation we
have all over the state. Cartersville,
champions of North Georgia, are 60
ing to arrange a South Georgia sched-
.ule and promise us games later.
There will be plenty of good ball
here this summer, and with the fast
team We have secured to represent the
old burg the fans ought to be happy.
Don't forget Monday-Buena Visa.

EXCELLENT REPORT
 ON COTTON CROP
Estimated That Yield Will Be One of Greatest in
 History

Washington, August 2.-Reports on the growing cotton crop for 1911 re- ceived by the department of agricul- ture continue to indicate that the yield this year will be one of the greatest if not the greatest in the history or the industry. The condition of the crop on July 20, as announced today, was S9.1 per cent of a normal. This was nine -tenths of 1 per cent higher than a month ago and 9.7 per cent above the average of July 25 for the past 10 years
 Based on the average condition of the crop on July 25 for the past 10 years and the average yield per acre for the same period, the condition reported to- day, if it should continue, would ind1- cate a final total yield of 207.25 pounds per acre, which upon 34.00O,O0O acres, the estimated final acreage, allowing for the abandonment of per cent Of the acreage, means total cotton crop of 14,093,000 bales of 500 pounds each This estimate is unofficial.
 The condition of the growing crop of the United States on July 20 was S9.1 per cent of normal, compared with S8.2 per cent on June 25, 1911, 75.75 per cent on July 25 last year: 71.9 per cent in 1909 and 79.4 per cent the average of the past 10 years on July 20.

WHITE COMPLETES HIS L0R|MER STORY Witness Much Questioned As To His Public
 Spirited Motives

Washington August 2.-Charles A. White, the Illinois legislator who claims he was bribed to vote for William Lori ner for senator. completed his three days story on direct examination before the Senate Lorimer committee today. He has yet to measure wits with counsel for Lorimer in cross-examination, which promises to be as extended as the di- rect one.
 Most of the day was devoted to telling how he spent the 5000 ''Lorimer money and the s9oO jackpot" money White as- serts he received, and in relating his attempts to have his so-called confession printed. At the end of the day the manuscript was put in evidence.
 The story told at the first Lorimer in oniry was varied by repeated fusilades of questions from the committee to Whites alleged public-spirited motive in accepting the brbes and then exposing them.
 White stuck to his testimony that he was working all the time for the good of the public. It was also varied by differences with the testimony of Jas. Keeley, general manager and editor of the Chicago Tribune as to the price which White asked for his comics sion manuscript.
 White testified today that he only asked $3500 and not $50,00O. He told how he ob bjected to the contract because it said he offered to sell' his story to the Tribune, White said he did not offer to sell it but he could not tell Senator Jones what words he would have used to describe what he had done. The witness said he was told that these words made no difference. He said he went to tho Tribune with his manuscript because Edwin R. Wright, president of the Illinois State Federation of Labor. suggested he see Editor Mccormick of that paper.
 White complained that he was placed in custody the night he signed the con tract and kept in custody for nearly eight months. When he protested against it, White said the officers told him they had parers that might Surprise" him. He testified that he heard States Attorney W ayman of Cook county tell the officers to keep him in charge and that he had heard that Wayman had the officers take him on trips to Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan, so as to keep him from appear ing before the Sangamon county grand jury At times White had four officers with him.
 In telling of visits to the homes of other members of the legislature to get evidence to support his manuscript. then unpub- lished, White said that Detective Turner, who went with him to the Chicago Trib- une, as he understood, told Representa- tive Michael Link that he represented the governor" White testified of telling both Link and Representative Joseph S. Clark, respectively, in Turner's presence that they knew better when they denied knowledge of corruption in the legisla- ture.
 tBoth Link and Clark are dead, are they not?" inquired Senator Johnston of Alabama.
 'I have been told SOL replied White.

MISSISSIPPI HAS . CHOSEN VARDAMAN
Percy and Alexander Con- cede Defeat-10,0O0 Ma
 jority Predicted

Jackson, Miss, August 2-That Form CT Governor James K Vardaman has been chosen the democratic nominee for United States sena nator-equivalent to election-is conceded by both of his opponents in yestes9a avs prins " | United States Senator Leroy Percy and | c. H. Alexander. In the race for lieu tenant governor the returns indicate | that State Senator Theodore G. Bilbo has boiled an equally large vote as MT Vardama n and his nomination with out the necessity of a second primary is regarded as assured. T. o. Newell and Wiley N. Nash were MT. Bilbo's opponents. Because of the remoteness of some
 precincts, returns are still incomplete At Vardamans headquarters tonight il is estimated that he will have In ex- cess of 10000 votes over the combined vote of his two opponents. MT. Bilbo makes claim to an even greater ma jority. The returns received give Alex ander a slight lead over Percy. Earl Brewer was unopposed for the gubernatorial nomination.
 This is the uprising of the people 1T
 Mississippi" MT. Vardaman said tonight in comment. "It Is a rebuke to the gross methods of politics lately injected into Mississippi, the arrogance of placid power, self-satisfied and seemingly se- cure in its entrenchment of dollars, It is a rebuke to personal villificationp poi
 a man who dares lift his voice in pro test against the domination of dollars It is an affirmance of the plain peo- ple in their right to rule and not the self-imposed rest of a lot of self-ele- vated and self-assumed leaders and prophets.
 MT. Alexander, in a statement con ceding his defeat. says:
 T bow without complaint to the ex- pressed will of the people. The nomina ton belonged to the people and they have bestowed it in an election which, so far as I know, has been fair, open and free from fraud"
 Late returns indicate the nomination of the following state officers:
 J. W. Power. secretary of state. H. E. Bakeslee, commissioner of agrt- culture.
 WiM Adams, state revenue agent. P. s. Stovall, state treasurer. James Kimball Vardaman is a native Of Texas. He IS 5l years of age. Although licensed to practice law he has never
 engaged actively in that profession, his
 activities having been largely devoted to journalism. For many years he was ed- tor of the Greenwood, (Miss.), Enterprise
 but more recently editor-in-chief and publisher of The Issue, of Jackson, a
 weekly publication.
 He was elected governor of Mississippi
 in 1903 and served one term. During the Spanish American war he served as ma
 jor in Mississippi volunteer regiment. MT. Vardaman was defeated for United
 States senateor by John Sharp Williams in
 1907 in popular election and in 1910 he
 was an unsuccessful contestant for the seat made vacant by the death of Senator A. J. McLaurin. United States Senator
 LeRoy Percy, whom he defeated in yes- terday's election received the legislative nomination. c. H. Alexander was also candidate before the legislature in 1910.
