BASEBALL BE
CONTINUED IN
ALA. SQUARE
BOARD OF WORKS, AFTER HEAR
ING ARGUMENTS. LAST NIGHT
DECIDED TO RECONSIDER FOR
MER ACTION AND ALLOW THE
USE OF THE SQUARE FOR RE-
MAINDER OF SEASON.

Baseball playing in Alabama square
will be continued during the present
summer and the Twilight league will
remain. This Is the result of the joint
meeting of the board of public works
ana the parks and ways committee OF
the city council held last night in the
Office "a the city clerk, at which, after
hearing from members Of the Play
grounds Association, number of the
residents In the neighborhood of Ala
bama square and others interested in
the Twilight league, 1t was decided
that the board of works would recon
slider its action in revol<ing the permit
for baseball playing in this square and
that the board and the committee
would recommend the passage Of an
ordinance. to allow the use of Cor
| dova square for a Fairgrounds park
after the present season.
There was little opposition last night
to allowing the use of the square dur
ing the remainder Of the season, as
most of the residents who had signed
the petition asking the board OF works
to revoke the permit had consented to
withdraw their objections after the
matter had been fully explained to
them by those who were endeavoring
to have the games in the square con-
tinued.
Petitions Read.
j. e. Concannon, who presided over
| the meeting, read the petition of the
people who objected to the playing in
Alabama square. as well as the petit
ton of the Fairgrounds Association,
| in order that everybody present might
be thoroughly familiar with the entire
! proceedings. The first petition had
previously been read at a meeting of
the board of works. while the latter
| had been read at a council meeting.
DR.. Clarence E. Hutchinson opened
| the argument, stating briefly the po-
| sition of the Fairgrounds Association
and showing that unless the square
| be used for the remainder of this sea-
son the Twilight league would have
to disband. He called attention to the
| fact that nearly all of those who OBJ
| Jected to ball playing in the square
| had withdrawn their objections and
| outlined the plans of the association,
in case Cordova square should be
| granted in the future. He showed the
plans which had been prepared and
which were explained. by II. e. Hop
| pen, physical director of the Y. M. G.
/ A.
| DR.. Hutchinson said that the figures
| Of the association showed that approx
/ imately $4,000 people attended the
/ games played in Alabama square last
i season.
Il DR.. Hutchinson was followed by w
/ K. Hyer, Jr., who made a strong argu-
ment in favor of the baseball and the
Fairgrounds Association generally.
After these gentlemen had stated the
position OF the Fairgrounds Associa-
ton In clear and forcible manner
the proposition was Informally dis
cussed by several of the citizens
present, after which the committee
and the board Of works retired and
reached the decision already stated.

THE BOYS CORN CLUB.
Superintendent OF Education T.. ii. Aull
Sends Word OF Encouragement
to the Boys.

County Superintendent Of Education
E. H. Aull, requests publication OF the
following statement in regard to the
Boys Corn club:
81 regret very much that l could
not keep my appointment with Mr.. S.
M. Duncan, to visit the members of the
Boys Corn club on Tuesday of this
week, in company with Master Willie
Wilson, president of the club. re-
ceived notice from the auditor that the
comptroller general would be here
either Tuesday or Wednesday, for the
purpose of completing mis- settlement
with the county officials, and it was
necessary for me to be present. 1t so
happened that General Jones did not
come until Wednesday. 1t became
necessary, also, for me to go to Whit
mire On Tuesday morning, to meet
with the trustees of Whitmire school
district, and the Flint Hill school dis
trict on important matters.
81 want to ay to the boys of the corn
club that l sincerely trust none of
them will become discouraged. In
some places l understand they have
had very dry weather and bad stands,
but there is chance for all of them,
even if the yield is not SO great, to win
a prize The boy who has poor
stand, of course, can not expect to win
prize for the largest yield, but he
has a good opportunity to win a prize
for the best ear, or the best ten ears
of corn, and then, too, all of those who
remain and do the best they can will
have an opportunity of attending for
one day the National Corn Exposition
in Columbia in January That is the
prize l am offering to the boys-to
take them all down at my expense, for
one day. Of course those who do not
continue in the club and do the best
they can will not be counted in this
trip.
'I understand that some of the boys
have very fine crops, while others are
little discouraged on account of bad
weather. These discouragements will
come, and the only thing for the boys
to do is to go-Ahead and perofrm their
part of the job faithfully"

Card From Mr.. ID. i. BOOzer.

Editor Herald and News: Many
persons have asked me about the re-
uuisition issued by Gov Blease for the
man arrested recently in Oklahoma on
the charge of being the murderer OF
my son. In justice to Mr.. Hugh Rem
wick, whom the governor accused Of
lying about the matter, l wish to say
that Mr.. Reawick 81 mply repeated
WHAT | had said on the streets Of
Newberry to many persons, and which
is the truth, namely, that I paid the
expenses of sending the officer to Ok
lahoma with the requisition, because
the governor positively refused to pay
any portion Of it, and l believe the
man arrested was the right man, be-
cause of letters from DR.. Palmer and
DR.. Smith, who examined the man, say
ing that the man had every scar OF
the right man, Perry, and they believe
he really was Perry. Mr.. Derrick, who
carried the requisition, said when he
returned that the man had oaly one
eve, and two scars. whereas the Meal
lister paper and the doctors and the
county attorney, Judge Brown, say
nothing about his having only one eye,
and the picture they sent shows the
man has Two good eyes. | firmly be-
lieve that the man arrested at McAllis-
ter is Perry, the murderer Of my son;
but why he was not brought back is
mystery to me- The letters | receiV-
ed from Dr.. Palmer and the two let
ters | have received from Mr. Derrick
since his return contradict each other,
and it looks to me that Mr.. Derrick
proved false to me. When he started
from Clinton for Oklahoma | asked
him to wire me a. my expense as soon
as he saw the man whether he was the
right party; but he did not wire me at
all, and | heard nothing from Derrick
until two days after his return to his
home at Ridge Spring. l do not think
that either Derrick or the governor
treated me fairly in the matter.

SALE PROPERTY POSTPONED.
Mrs. Wells and H. b. Wells Go to
Shreveport, La, to Look After
Property Interests.

Through petition of Attorney E. B.
Herndon, representing the administra-
Tor, C.. NJ. Amney, of Austin, Tex, and
on request of the heirs, the succession
sale of the property of the late ]. l.
Schumpert, of Shreveport, scheduled
to take place Saturday morning at II
o'clock under direction of Sheriff ]. P.
Flournoy as official parish auctioneer,
was indefinitely postponed. 1t will
probably be held in the fall, when bet
ter prices may be realized on some Of
the property, which is real estate.
There are quite a number of heirs
to the property, which has been ap-
praised as worth $4,000, as shown
by the inventory. 1t includes the Mi
lam House on Milan street, between
Mcneil and Marshall, appraised at $12,-
900; the Schumpert home near the
State fair grounds, and the old Schum-
pert place near Bethany, consisting
Of 1,4OO acres, and appraised at $500.
There are about thirty pieces of prop
erty, lots of it in Shreveport, and the
heirs think it is going to bring more
than the appraised figures and with a
view of getting the very highest pos
sible prices the sale was postponed, it
was explained by the sheriff, who was
called on shortly before the hour for
the sale to have it postponed. There
were dozens of real estate men and
capitalists present at the court house,
supposedly to bid on different pieces
of the property, and considerable dis
appointment resulted from the an
nouncement that the sale would not
take place as scheduled.
The Schumpert heirs are as follows,
as reported by one of them: F. A.
Schumpert, brother of the deceased,
of Florida, represented at Shreveport
for the succession sale by his son-in-
law, C. NJ. Bell, of Atlanta, Ga; Mrs.
J. B. Cassidy, sister of deceased, Of
Ruston, La; Mrs. Wells, sister, of
Newberry, S. c., represented by her
son, H. B. Wells, of Newberry; son
and granddaughter of O.. l.. Schumpert,
brother, now deceased, of South
Carolina; and the four children of
Mrs. E. NJ. Kingsmore, deceased Sis
ter, of Shreveport, these children be-
ing: J. J. Kingsmore, of Shreveport,
Mrs. Walter, OF Birmingham, Charles
Kingsmore, of Sumter, s. c., and w.
r. Kingsmore. When spoken to by a
Journal reporter about 9 O'Clock Mr..
Wells, who came here for the sale to
represent his mother, stated that it
was probable there would be scme de-
lay, and that he was then en- route to
meet some of the other heirs for
conference.
DR.. J. l. Schumpert died a few
months ago at his home near the fair
grounds here, making two special be-
queaths of $4,000 each, one to Noble
Schumpert, and the other to Mrs. Oden,
his housekeeper, and left the remain
der of the estate to be divided among
the heirs, according to law.
1t was reported later in the day that
the heirs were considering handling
the property themselves, without pub
lie sale, thinking that this would
cause more to be received for the prop
erty, but when it would likely be sold
was not stated other than that the COM
ing fall season might be the time.
