Jackson, Miss, July 23-(SpeciaL)-The
baseball fans of Jackson are up In the
air." They are up against the PROPOSE
ton to give a more liberal patronage to
the sport or to do without any game at
all and see the Cotton States league go
ito the wall" During the last week
Yazoo City and Jackson played five
games on the local grounds and the total
gate receipts for the week were about
$50. There was reason, however, beyond
the fact that jackson has been putting
up a poor variety of ball and is near
the bottom of the percentage column
the weather has been bad. either raining
or threatening to rain. with grounds
muddy and wet
Until quite recently jackson has been
the most generous patron of the Cotton
States games, and perhaps is yet but
that is not saying much for the other
towns in the league. under the clrcuni-
stances Gate receipts of as much as 500
per game would give any ticket seller in
tho circuit the Canada habit"
For these and other reasons the asso-
citation has sent a couple of teams to
Greenville, a town out of the league cir
cult, to play series OF games, hoping
thus to initiate their Golfers. II Is posi-
BILE that other towns will be visited and
given a sample of professional ball on
the same liberal terms-that is if they
want 1t.
Yazoo and Jackson, as stated, played
five games here last week, some of the
games being to almost empty benches,
and at the conclusion of the series the
directors of the local association had to
go down in their own pockets for several
hundred dollars to pay off the men. Such
experiences as that are calculated to give
cold feet to the most persistent fan

FIRE CONSUMES
STORE AT CULLMAN
Fuller Bros. Suffer $4,000
Loss Yesterday
NO WATER AVAILABLE
Flames Originated in Vehicle Depart
ment on Second Floor-Building
in Ashes Half Hour Later.
Stock Ruined

Cullman. July 23.-(Special.)- 1.-The furni-
ture. hardware and vehicle store belonging
to Fuller Bros. in this city was complete
ly destroyed by fire today. This was the
largest store of its kind here and car
ried stock of hardware, vehicles and
furniture valued at $4,000. The building
was an entire loss with only $4,000 insur-
ance, and only about $4,000 insurance
was carried on the stock Possibly $1,000
worth of goods was taken from the build
ing. The actual loss to the owners will
possibly reach $4,000
Fuller Bros. owed only about $500 In
the markets and all creditors will be
promptly taken care of. The fire orig
mated in the second story of the frame
storehouse, which was used for the We
hicle department, and the flames spread
rapidly and owing to the fact that the
machinery at the water plant Is under
going repairs, the water was entirely cut
off from the town, and il was impos-
slble to fight the flames in any measure.
Within 30 minutes after the fire was
discovered the house and the largest por-
ton of the contents We're In ashes Con-
siderable damage was done to the goods
taken from the store in handling and
much of this was rendered quite value
less in the operation. The devastation
today entails the greatest loss to one
firm that has occurred here in years. 1t
Is said that the building and all the
stock would have been saved had Ii not
been for the fact that no water was
available and the fire department was rem
dered helpless.
The salvage taken from the building has
been stored in an empty building and an
invoice will be made as quickly as pos
slble and the insurance settled as soon
as the matter can be adjusted Numerous
kilograms have been received by this
firm from large jobbing houses offering
any assistance possible. Fuller Bros,
announce their intention of again enter
ing business as soon as all matters per-
tanning to the former business can be
adjusted.

ARREST MADE IN
FIRE BUG CASES
Tom Letcher Is Being Held
by the Police
REPORTS RESENTED
East Birmingham Citizens State They
Are Indignant Over Reports That
They Are Trying to "Oust
the Negro Residents"

The police are getting after the East
Birmingham firebugs. Tom Letcher was
locked up in the county jail yester-
day morning charged With arson, and
1t is stated at police headquarters that
he is being held for a great number
of the recent fires in that section.
When the fires first began in East
Birmingham 1t was the theory of the
police that one man was responsible.
Later the theory was entertained that
II was a concentrated effort of the
white people of the section to Gust the
colored people from East Birmingham.
Letcher was arrested eight days ago,
charged with arson. Since then there
has been two big fires In the East
Birmingham negro section, and the one
last Sunday morning was the most dis
astrous of all.
Letcher has long been a noted fig
ure in East Birmingham, having lived
there for many years. He has attract
ed much attention by his dress. 1t is
said that he has not cut his hair or
beard for over 10 years. Although
harmless, 1t is alleged that the man
Is irresponsible and the police, to-
gether with the sheriff's office, state
they believe that he was used as
tool by others In a plan to run the ne
groes out of East Birmingham.
The detectives working on the case
have renewed their efforts and 1t Is
believed by them that solution to the
mysterious fires will soon be forthcom-
ing.
N. D. McMullin. s15 North Forty
ninth street, East Birmingham, stated
last night that the white citizens OF
East Birmingham were very indignant
over the charges that there was a well
organized movement among them to
run out the negro population He
said:
II have talked to several prominent
citizens of this section of the city and
rye all deeply resent the implications
that we are trying to run out the
negro residents by burning down their
houses. The negroes in this neigh
borhood are hard working conscien-
tious and law-abiding citizens, taken
as a whole, and there Is no organized
movement among inc "hito peopio "
drive them out. They are an important
part of this neighborhood and we want
to correct the impression that has
gained circulation that we are so mean
as to burn down their houses, even If
we didn't like them.
1--WE are starting movement and
committee will probably be named in
the near future TO go before the board
of city commissioners and make for
NAL protest against the circulation OF
this report"
