Why do we abuse our state and
prate about what we consider its
.short-comingsl Simply because
we are too small TO appreciate
what outsiders know to be a tact.
The Illinois Central and Missis-
|sippi Valley railroads foresee the
wonderful development which is
sure to come and have arranged
their train schedules so that north
ern tourists may have every op-
portunitY of reaching and seeing
Mississippi.
Northern capitalists are buying
large tracts of lands in almost ev-
cry county. convinced that no 9TH
er state offers such advantages.
Yet, many of our own people are
.disheartened and want to go else
where because the old. lazy one
crop system has been wiped out
by divine providence.

who had charge of Claiborne's ex-
hibit at the State Fair, and the
management of the fair over the
premium on the bale of long sta
pie cotton. Mrs. Humphreys says
she entered the exhibit as alIuvial
long staple, while the management
is of the erroneous impression that
it should be upland cotton. Mrs.
Humphreys is not satisfied and
says that the following letter from
Prof. Pate is incorrect, and that
the Fair owes the premium of

|COLLEC|ANS TRIM HOSPITAL 10 TO 2
Brazil TwirIs in Great Form Tanning 15-Greenway and Hawkins Inefecve-Home Team Weak at Bat and Ragged in Fielding,

Jackie Gallivan's team of college stars again defeated the Hospital team on the State hospital grounds Satur- day afternoon before the largest Sat urday crowd of the season, by the score of 10-2. Brazil, the Bulkeley High school pitcher from New Lon don pitched for the visitors and his work was again of the gilt edge va- riety as he struck out 15 of the Hos pital team. Greenway was started by the Hospital in the box, but after hits had been made in succession in the 4th inning for total of runs, he wa srelieved by Moore who pitched two scoFeless innings and then was re- placed by Hawkins, new man on the Hospital team. The latted was touch ed up in rather lively fashion for the remainder of the game and allowed eleven bases on ballsy Evidently Hawkins was a little out of condition as the visitors found his delivery to their liking when hits meant runs.
 The Hospital team played indifferent ball behind him and are evidetly in a batting slump as 4S strikeouts have been registered against them during the last three games.
 The All Colleg1dnS proved lVely on the bases and supported Brazil in good style.
 The Hanover nine makes it's second appearance of the season on the local grounds next Saturday afternoon and will probably have Bill Walsh of Fordham in the box with Red LHereux on the receiving en.
 On Thursday the Hospital nine runs up against the fast Middletown nine on the local grounds.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
sAoelNe OF STOCKS.
But Prices Are Two to Four Points
 Higher Than Week Ago.

New York, July 21-Stocks sagged from their inertia yesterday, when to- tai dealings scarcely exceeded SO,00O shares.
 Recessions, however, were only frac- tional, and as an offset slightly lower prices were made for wheat and cot ton-speaking well for the continued outlook for bountiful harvests.
 Continued ease of money is fore shadowed by weekly statement of all the Clearing House institutions, fur ther contraction in loans and increase in cash resulting in an important ad- dition to the surplus reserves.
 Final prices of leading stocks are two to four points higher than week ago, while cotton has gained a frac- ton and the grain markets are much lower, the decline ranging from four to five cents a bu5hel in corn and seven to eight cents in wheat.
 Good crop prospects easy money, ac- tive industries and an increase in the volume of the country's trade, indi- cated by larger bank clearin5s, are the dominant factors in the situation. The markets seem disposed to ignore poli- ties and to be indifferent to proposed new legislation, whether 1t be the Beal bill hioiting dealings in cot ton futures, the forthcoming report of the Stanley committee suggesting re- strlctions in the steel industry or the latest investigation ordered by the h. terstate Commerce Commission.
