Hoke Smith and the senate.

Hoke Smith and the Senate.
The politicians in Washington are
much interested in the action Of
Georgia in electing Hoke Smith to the
United States Senate. 1tiis conceded
on all sides that Hoke Smith Will not
only be a strong but national figure
in the Senate. He Is a man of large
wealth, unusual ability and honesty
to the back bone. 1t will be recalled
that he was secretary of the Interior
Department under Cleyeland's second
administration. 1t was reported back
in those days when trust busting was
in It's infancy that Hoke Smith seTere-
ly criticized Richard .OIney, Cleve-
lands Attorney General, for not pros
ecutlng the trust. But RICHARD Olney
was never known to do such a thing.
olney replied that he! had no evidence
that there was such thing as trust.
II is believed that Hoke Smith will
soon assume leadership of the pro-
gressfve elements, Of both Republican
and Democrats in the Senate.

HIS POTATOES o. X.
Brown County Farmer Says Hay Crop
There is Fair, Too.


II will have an excellent crop of po-
tatoes and fair crop of oats, although
the hay is not as good as it was last
year. Corn and oats are burned up"
This is the crop report concerning
portion of Brown county as brought
to Norfolk by d. r. Moon, a farmer
living twenty-six miles south of Aims
worth.
Mr.. Moon believes with President
Taft that reciprocity will not injure
the American farmer because the price
of grain depends upon Liverpool rath-
er than upon Canadian markets and
he believes relief from the cost of liv-
ing will result and other commodities
such as lumber, etc. Il think Taft has
made a better president than Roose

fearlessness," said Mr.. Moon.

seribner Won a Fast Game.

Umpire Rock retaliated from a de-
clsion he handed down at Tilden a
few days ago, with the sending back
OF a runner who touched home plate,
because the batter had struck at a
ball which hit him. This assured
Scribner's game with Norfolk in the
seventh inning. Had the score been
allowed the locals would have been
one ahead, having made four runs in
that inning. The game was a spicy
one from start TO finish and 1t took
Norfolk just up to the lucky seventh
to fathom Spades spit balls.
Watson and Wagner, the two new
local players, found these "spits" no
mystery and Spade was batted out
of the box, being replaced by Huffman
in the eighth. Scribners going to bat
in the ninth with tie score was a
signal for the rooters to root but
this seemed to help matters but very
little. Bower, who was put in fresh
to bat for Scribner, was an easy VIC
tim for Bovee who struck him out.
Philbin hit and the ball was let go
by second. Philbin reached second
after Zellers went out from Bovee to
Glissman. Denslow went to bat and
Philbin reached third on South's error.
Standing on home Denslow held his
position and just as Bovee was wind
ing up, Philbin raced for home touch
ing the plate and Hoffman was unable
to hold the ball with batter direct
ly in front of him. Scribner was one
ahead and Denslows short one put
him out, Hoffman to Glissman.
Miller, who arrived on the diamond
late, batted first for Norfolk in the
ninth and hit Stewart of York, on
first for Scribner, fumbled and Miller
reached first in safety; Wagner struck
out and Miller stole; Dudgeon's long
fly was met on the run by Nelson and
he was out. Krahn singled and Mil
Ter reached third with the crowd yell
ing excitedly; Glissman hit long one
to second but he was slow in reaching
first 1t was a close decision and I'm

is rumored that Aux Cages, President
Simon's home town, has fallen into
the hands of the revolutionists. If
this is true, it is a severe blow to

Considerable activity is noticeable
among the soldiers in the palace
grounds, the significance of which can
not be learned but the stir is believ-
ed to have some bearing on events
likely to transpire within the next
few days.
Advices from Port De Paix on the
northern coast indicate uneasiness at
that point and the American cruiser
Chester has gone there from Cape
Haitien A crisis in the government
appears to be gradually approaching.
| 1t is impossible to say which revolu-
tionary party will gain control at the
capital in the event that Simon is over
thrown. Leconte, who is in control
Of Cape Haitien, and is reported to
have sent force against Gonaives
to occupy that town for him, seems
to be the strongest rebel chief out
side this district.
The American warships OF the
coast Of Haiti began an active patrol
of the countrys shores. The scout
cruiser Chester, which has been as
signed to safeguard foreign life and
property on the northern coast, sail

trouble exists.
