LOCAL OPTION
AGAIN IN sight
In AIabama-Senate Will Doubtless
Adopt Parks Bill
Thursday.

Montgomery, Ala, Feb. 1.-THE
local optionists are in a better frame
of mind today than at any time during
the past forty-eight hours. Confidence
in their ability to pass the Parks bill
through the senate undamaged is in
creasing. They claim that at least one
of the members hitherto classed as
doubtful has come over to their side
for good According to the latest es-
innate brought up by the option lead
ers, only four senators are left in the
doubtful column One of these they
must get for keeps to enable them to
pass the BILL They feel sure that the
votes of two can be obtained. If this
hope is realized and the leaders are
apparently sure that it will be, the
local option bill will be passed in the
senate, 10 to Is.

king Declines
FLAT7ERING OFFER
Star Pitcher of Meridian Does Not
Care to Play Professional
Ball.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. liking, the
University of Mississippi star pitcher,
will not play professional ball this
season, at least. He has just refused
rather a fiattering offer from the
Cleveland team.
Bobby Gilks, former manager of the
Gulfport Cotton States team, but now
one of McGuire's scouts for the ex-
Maps, recently visited oxford and had
a long talk with King. The boy made
such an impressive showing that Gilks
tried, in every way, to induce him to
sign up with Cleveland, but King de-
clined to do so.
Gilks, it seems, had a promise from
King that he would sign, but it is be-
lieved some other team has made a
better offer, but the Cleveland scout
says he will pay as much as any one
for Kings services. King made an
excellent record with the University
last season, and some regarded him as
good as Bobby Mitchell. He is the
main reliance of Ole Miss this season
