Gen. Sykes Honored.

Gen. E. T. Sykes of this city
has been honored with an invita-
ton to attend the annual encamp-
ment of the United Spanish War
Veterans and the National Guard
of New Jersey, which is to be
held at Atlantic City during the
latter part of September. He is
requested to deliver a speech at
the annual banquet and to be the
guest of the two organizations
while the meeting is in session.
Gen. Sykes, while naturally
anxious to accept the invitation,
was compelled to decline, as the
Lowndes county circuit court
will be in session spontaneously
with the meeting at Atlantic
City, and as he represents liti-
gants in several important cases
docketed to come up for trial il
will be impossible for him to
leave the city.

suitably inscribed. during the
progress of the Jackson Colum.
bus game in the Capital City last
Saturday.
The gift was from the um-
pires and players of the various

and came as a token of their re.
gard for Mr.. Lewis and their ap-
probation of the effort which he
has made to keep the league
together.
The presentation speech was
made by Gene Demontreville,
former manager of the YazoC
City team. and while Gene does
not claim to be an orator hi
spoke feelingly and told Mr.
Lewis in emphatic words how
much the boys thought of hin
and how sincerely they appre
ciated his splendid work on be

LOCAL THEATRE NEXT YEAR
The Lease Of Capt. Sharp Ex-
pired on August 1st, and
Was not Renewed.

The Columbus Thcatre will
next season be under the manage
ment of Mr.. James Newly, Jr.

to Capt. 7. H. Sharp, and was
managed by his son, Mr.. Jake

others will be booked later.
The inaugural attraction has

and eloquent pastor of the First
Baptist church. has returned
from Monteagle, where he went
to deliver a series of lectures be-
fore the Bible Institute which is
conducted there each summer as
a part of the regular Chatauqua
program.
The Monteagle Sunday School
Assembly is the largest and most
important organization of its
character in the South, and the
most noted divines and lecturers
in the country appear there each
season. 1t was therefore quite q
compliment to DR.. Lawrence tc
have been invited to participate
in the program, and one that was
richly deserved. as he is not only
a close student and profound

FAVORABLE WEATHER
MAEESGOTTOH GROW
ONLY TWO STATES COMPLAIN
General Tenor Il nspsrts is that
Plant is Growing Very
Rapidly and Fruitina
Well

According 70 the report Of the
Memphis Commercial Appeal,
the weather last week was gen
orally favorable to the growth Of
cotton. and In many sections the
development at the present time
is all that seems possible. The
plant is growing very fast and is
setting fruit In a most satisfactory
manner. The earlier bolls are
nearing maturity. and If frost Is
somewhat delayed districts that
once looked very unpromising
will make a fair Or even a large
crop.
1t is worthy of notice. however,
that up to August 1st the plant
was small over very wide areas
and had set very little fruit.
Since that date it has done we'll.
but naturally has not made up
for all early deficiencies. 1t is
also true that, owing to the delay
in this process, a late season is
needed to mature the crop.
Exceptions to the general rule
are noted in North Carolina,
South Carolina and Southern
Texas. where the rainfall has
been insufficient to carry the
crop forward. In North Carolina
there has been some shedding.
In Southern and Central Texas
the bolls are opening very fast
and the crop is coming rapidly
into market. Without rain at an
early date to mature a full crop
the yield does not promise to
reach that of last year, The cot
ton caterpillar has appeared in
some numbers throughout Gen.
trail and Eastern Texas and in a
small way in Louisiana, South
ern Alabama and Southeastern
Georgia. The damage, however,
is as yet not material.
There is very little open cot
ton except in Texas. Boil vice.
wills are more or less numerous in
/ Mississippi and Louisiana.

Leigh Cady, who have been
spending the past few weeks in
Dallas, Texas, as guests of Miss

were expected to return to Co
lumbus last night. 1t was their
original intention to remain in
Dallas until the latter part Of
September, but the climate there
did not agree with Miss Cady's
health. and local physicians ad-
vised her to return home. The
Commercial joins her numerous
friends in expressing the hope
that there will soon be an inn

Tuesday and Wednesday

The season of the Cotton States
League Is nearing its end. and

nant Columbus inaugurates a
series Of three games at Green
wood today, and will play Jack
son at Lake Park next Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday. these
being the final games Of the sea-
son.
The season has been rather a
temDestuous one. only three
clubs having remained until the
finish and but two of these hav-
ing been in the circuit when play
began last spring. The Hatties-
burg team was the first to with
draw, Columbus having taken
over the franchise Of that city
last June. Some time later
Meridian and Yazoo City with
drew. leaving four clubs in the
circuit. Vicksburg was the last
town to throw, up the sponge.
having played her last game on
August 18th, and since that time
the league has been composed of
three teams, Columbus, Jackson
and Greenwood.
Times have bernhard through
out the state. and lack of funds
was what occasioned the with
drawal of all the teams. Column
bus is the only city in the circuit
where the patronage has been
sufficiently large to meet ex-
penses. This city entered the
league late in the season and
patronage here has been uni
formly good.
The three closing games on
Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday
will naturally be fraught with
much interest and should be at
tended by large crowds.

The Ledger has sent ont many
such parties during the past

The object Of these trips is to
incite interest in road improve

the public highways be placed in
a first class condition. A move
ment to secure better roads for
Lowndes county is now on foot,
and the proposed scouting tour
Of the Ledger will give a fresh
impetus to this movement.
The result of the Ledger's re-

that the automobile has almost
reached a state of perfection.
Ten machines of as many differ

every car returned in as good a
