The sanity hearing, it is expected,

if not quite as expensive as either OF

in the Thaw case have thus far cost
the state of New York about 100000,

amount has been expended by Mrs.

Curtis Guild of Boston, United
States Ambassador to Russia, will
probably be a candidate to succeed
United States Senator Murray s. Crane
of Massachusetts, who says he will not
run again. Ambassador Guild has de-
voted most of his life to journalism,
but since 1895 he has taken an active
part in politics, having served his
state both as Lieutenant-Goyerno and
Governor. He is also a close persona
friend of Colonel Roosevelt, whose
companion he was on a stumping tur
of the West in the second Mckinley
campaign.

AT first blush it would appear from
a general estimate that all told in all
of the Presidential preference prf-
maries, in fact in all primaries in all
the state, not more than 100000 votes
have been cast in this preliminary bat
tie for the presidential nomination by
both Democrats and Republicans.
This, to the politicians of the two dom
inant parties, is very significant fea-
ture in view of the fact that in the
presidential election of 1908 the total
popular vote for all candidates was
14,SSS,442. With the increased popu
lation according to the census of 1910
there is every warrant for the belief
that the total popular vote in Novem
Der may be 100000.

Every year they're marching slower;
Every year they're STOPPING lower,
Every year the lifting music stirs the

Every year the flags above them

Woodpeckers to Columbus;
Franchise May Go Too

After hard but unsuccessful fight
to finance the Hattiesburg baseball
team the local association at a call
meeting Saturday afternoon withdrew
its hat from the ring and probably
sounded the death knell of baseball
here; for the present at least. From
the opening of the season those few
fans who have contributed Of their
time and means to boosting the club
have not received sufficient support,
nor have the games been patronized
to the extent to warrant continuance
of Hattiesburg in the Cotton States
league. Therefore, after a general
discussion of the situation from every
angle it was the sense of the meeting
that disposition be made of the fran
chise and President Edmiston was so
authorized.
The action taken was not unex-
pected as it has been known for some
time that the affairs of the club were
in critical shape and sufficient reve-
nue. could not be figured in sight to
Justify further attempts to maintain
the club.
President Lewis, of the Cotton
States League, and Manager Smith
went to Columbus Saturday and took
the matter of transfer up with the
fans at that place, with the result
that the fans in the big town on the
banks of the Tombigbee showed suf-
ficient interest to make it almost a
certainty that they would be glad to
take over the franchise. The erst-
while Woodpeckers land we hate to
chronicle it thus) will play three
games there this week, commencing
today. These games will be in the ma
ture of trial exhibitions and before the
series is over some definite deal is eX-
pected. The citizens of Columbus evil
IDENTIFY want baseball and are willing
to pay for it, but whether satisfac-
tory deal can be made or not remains
to be seen. .
General regret is being expressed
here that circumstances have forced
the action taken by the association
and there is considerable talk and a
possibility that the affairs will be
Strengthened out and the orphans
xuh or
will be taken to that end are not yet
known, but there is a feeling of hope
among the fans that "our boys" will
not be allowed to become wanderers
upon the face of the earth.
Every adverse circumstance has
confronted the association this sea
son; unfavorable weather, lack of at
tendance and crippled ranks have all
contributed to the situation, and the
very season when the smiles of for
tune were needed most. This has beer
considered the critical year for base
ball in Hattiesburg and it has beer
confidently predicted that if the pres

be guaranteed. Hence it is a pit.

Eventually. the car quoted, and
nothing was heard but the rumble and
click OF the wheels on the rails the
creak of timbers, and the frog-like
chorus of a few Wel-trained snorers

last of the lights, rumpled pate was
thrust from the stateroom, and the
lusciouseyed man whispered

From within the stateroom came a
deep sigh, then with a dismal groan:

Poor Mallory, pyjamaless and night

swiftly shifting night scene The state
of Illinois was being pulled out from
under the train like dark rug.
Farmhouses cleaned or dreamed
lampless. The moonlight rippled on
endless seas of wheat and Indian
corn. Little towns slid up and away.
Large towns rolled forward. and were
left behind. Ponds, marshes, brooks,
pastures. thickets and great gloomy
groves flowed past as on a river. But
the same stars and the moon seemed
to accompany the train. If the flying

he was still bordering how to attain
