Several Famous Delta Plantations Are
lncluded-Men of Prominence and

Contaminated in Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn, May 1S.-Deeds
were recorded yesterday in Bolivar
and Washington counties, Miss, by
which $4,000 acres of the finest cot
ton land in the delta country is trans
ferred to a syndicate of Memphisans,
at a consideration of approximately
$3,000,000 spot cash.
This is the elimination of negotia-
lions which have been in progress for
some time, and includes the financing
of large part of the proposition
through the sale of bonds of the COM
panies organized to take over the
lands, to British capitalists, members
of the Fine Cotton Spinners and
Doublers' Association, Limited, of
Manchester, England. The exact
amount of bonds which these gentle
men have agreed to take was not
made known yesterday.
The lands, which lie in the southern
portion of Bolivar county and the
northern part of Washington, all lie in
one body. They are decided to the
Triumph Plantation Company and the
Lake Vista Plantation Company, two
corporations recently chartered under
the laws of Mississippi, each with an
authorized capital stock of $1,500,O00

new BASE BALLS
ARE TOO LIVELY

Chicago, May 1S.-Heavy batting
which has been the despair OF pitch
ers since the opening of the 1911 base
ball season will be curtailed accord
ing to the statement Of a representa-
tive Of a baseball factory yesterday
It is said the next supply Of official
balls for the clubs of the major and
minor leagues will not be as lively as
the ones now in use.
According to the factory representa-
tive the present lively ball, which
produced 367 runs in three days IN
the major leagues, was due to hint
from the baseball powers that there
was not enough batting to suit the
fans. Now the "tip" has gone forth
that the games are too long because
of the great increase in batting.
It is not intended to revert to the
old ball which produced so many fe"
hit contests and made many cham
pionship affairs merely a battle be
tween pitchers, but to strike a happy
medium about on the middlegrounc
between the old ball and the new

Cost of Manufacturing Paper in
United States Varies Widely
Mills Not Equipped for Extensive
Canadian Competition.

Washington, May 1S.-President
Taft today sent to the senate the tar
if boards full report of it's investiga-
ton of the pulp and news print paper
industry in the United States and
Canada.
Summarized briefly, the report says
that a ton of news print paper is made
in Canada for $5.35 less than it is in
the United States. The average
Canadian cost is given at $27.53 and
the average cost in the United States
at Sass. The duty upon a ton of
news print paper under the present
tariff is 1915.
The document presents extensive
table, comparisons and other tabma
tons. 1t is declared to be the most
complete thing of it's kind ever at
tempted. The entire force of the tar
if board has been engaged upon it for
months.
Several factors entering into the in
creased cost of manufacture in the
United States are taken up exhaust
lively in the report. The principal in
creases are said to be due to the fac
that a ton of pulp wood costs nearly
twice as much in the United States
as it does in Canada and that many o
/ tho American mills have much Olde
and less efficient equipment than thu
Canadian mills, which is said to be re
sponsible for a largely increased
manufacturing cost.

TWO DANGEROUS
NEGROES ESCAPE
Both Long Term State Prisoners
Police Department Requested
to Watch for Them.

Jackson, Miss, May 1S.-Secretary
L. Yerger of the penitentiary board
this morning received notice that two
of the states prisoners had escaped
during the past few days from the
Oakley prison farm, and police de-
partments throughout the state have
been notified to be on the lookout for
the missing negroes. Both of the
refugees are long-term prisoners and
are reported to be dad men, and will
put up a strong fight to avoid capture.
The most dangerous of the negroes
is Chrales Sheppard, described as a
brown negro" about thirty years OF
age. He was sent up a few months
ago from Adams county on the
charge of assaulting a young white
girl of that county, and was given a
/ sentence of ten years. He was confined
| in the Oakley hospital section wher
he made his escape, and may be found
in the vicinity Of Natchez, where he
has friends and where he once worked
as cook. Sheppard is said to be en-

1t is strange to say, yet nevertheless
true, that in nearly all cities which
the Health Teacher visits, some per-

ish and absurd question, Does the
Quaker Extract produce the wonderful
cures published, or does the Health
Teacher possess some secret powers
which perform the work." and the
same question in substance, was asked
at the Owl Drug Store.
The Health Teacher says: For
once and all time let it be said, that
any and all cures published by me

wonderful powers of the Quaker
Remedies. These remedies are pre-
pared from a combination of herbs,
