A democratic primary to nomi

on that date the qualified electors
of the district will decide by their
votes whether Hon. E. S. Cand-
ler, Jr.. or Dr.. H. F. Broyles is
to represent them at WaShinnton
during the ensuing two years.
While the Office is sought by
two candidates, it can not be
said that the campaign has been
a spirited one, as most of the
speech-making has been done by
DR.. Broyles. Congress has been
in session throughout the sum-
mer, and Mr.. Gambler has re-
NAMED steadfastly at his post,
having met his opponent in joint
debate only upon two occasions,
once at Abereeen on July 4th and
once at Corinth last Wednesday.
DR.. Broyles invited Mr.. Gambler
to stump the district with him,
but the present incumbent
courteously refused, giving as a
reason for his refusal that he be-
lieved the best interests of his
constituents demanded his pres

CORPORATION TO HANDLE
GRAIN URGEhTlY NEEDED
Mr.. c. H. Hale Makes Practical
Suggestion at Annual Meet
ing of Business League.

The thought that inspired Mr..
c. H. Hale to suggest the forma-
ton of a local corporation to
handle miscellaneous farm pro-
ducts was indeed a happy one,
and the suggestion could be fol-
lowed to good advantage not only
in Columbus but in other towns
and cities throughout the state.
The suggestion was made by
Mr.. Hale, who is a rising young
member of the local bar, at the
annual meeting of the Columbus
Business League last Thursday
night. He said that he had
heard farmers who had raised
large quantities of wheat, barley,
oats and other grains complain
that there was no local market
for products of this variety and
it was impossible to sell the n
here for anything like their real
value.
In order to carry out the diver
sifed scheme of farming so
earnestly advocated by the
United States department of
agriculture it is necessary for the
farmers to raise oats, wheat and
barley as well as cotton and corn.
The corn that is raised is usually
consumed on the farm, and there
is of course always a cash de-
mand for cotton, but farmers
who have raised wheat. oats and
barley have experienced consid-
cradle difficulty in disposing of
'shenh.~, TAey-are al staple pro.
ducts, and there fought to be a
grain company or some concern
of similar kind in every city in
Mississippi 10 handle them.

official to submit his report, and
at its conclusion the election of
officers for the ensuing year was
taken up. The board Of directors
last year consisted Of sixteen
members. and Mr.. Weatherly
suggested that the number be
reduced to ten. declaring that
with such a large directorate it
was at times exceedingly difficult
to secure a quorum. After some
discussion, d it was decided to
elect fifteen directors, ten from
the city and one from each Of the
five supervisors districts through
out the county. A nominating
committee consisting of DR.. J.W.
Llpseomb, Mr.. Simon Loeb and
Mr.. J G. Weatherly was appoint
ed by the chair, and this com.
mlttee nominated twenty men,
from whom the ten directors
mentioned above were elected.
These directors will later select
five men from the county.
Soon after the nominating CON-
mittee retired to the office Of the
league President Kaufman was
called thither to assist them in
their work. He invited Col. Jno.
7. Mayo to take the chair during
his absence, and the time was
filled in by speeches on the part
of newly acquired citizens. Capt.
Bowman, of the u. S. Army, re-
tired, Mr.. Caruthers, who re-
Gently resumed his residence in
Columbus after a long sojourn in
in Texas, and Mr.. Ike Simon,
who a short time since came here
from Montgomery. having made
addresses in which they pledged
their allegiance to Columbus and
the Business League. Short
talks were also made by Messrs.
l.. Marx, W. w. Craig. W. H.
Carter and C.. H. Hale, all of
whom have been residents of the
city for quite a long time past.
Upon motion, a committee con-
sisting of Col. Jno. P. Mayo, Mr..
W. H. Carter and Mr.. P. W..
Maer was appointed to draft
suitable resolutions thanking Mr.,
Irwin Kaufman, the retiring
president. and Mr.. j. G. Wealth
erly, the retiring secretary, for
efficient services rendered the
league.

COTTON STATES LEAGUE
Standing of Teams
Yesterday Results.
Greenwood 2, Columbus 2.

Columbus and Greenwood OPEN
ed a series of three games at
Greenwood Thursday, the initial
game having been won by the
home team by score of 6 to 2.
The wildness of Redding is large
ly responsible for the loss of the
game, Greenwood having showed
five men across the plate during
the first three innings.
In the third only one hit was
registered against Redding, but
three passes, a safety by Berger
and loose playing in the field
gave the Joy Riders a lead that
could not be overcome. Redding
was replaced by Payne in the
middle of the third, but he also
was wild and ineffective and
withdrew in favor of Carlos
Smith, who pitched good ball
throughout the remainder of the
game.
w. Smith was on the mound
for Greenwood and had the Dis
coverers at his mercy during the
early part of the game. He fan
ned the first five men who faced
him and the six hits which he al
lowed were scattered. The fea-
ture of the game was the clout-
ing of Berger, who got two sin
giles and a three bagger out of
four times up.
Greenwood was again victori-
Gus Friday afternoon having won
out in a grand stand finish by a
score of 2 to /. Through eight
innings not a single Joy Rider
crossed the plate, but Redding
weakened in the ninth and two
runs were made.
Columbus scored her lone tally
in the second, when Parker sin
gled and was sacrificed to second
by Bell. Miller struck out, Poole
was hit and Vann singled to deep
center scoring Parker. Poole
started out to pitch for the Dis
coverers but was hit on the fin
ger in the second and retired in
favor of Redding, In the ninth
Rollings, first up, doubled to
deep right. Berger next drove a
liner for three bases. Then Sned-
ecor died on an easy one, short to
first, and Murphy drove a single
through Parker, who was playing
close in for squeeze. Features
of the game were Berger's clout-
ing and fielding and Roth's twirl-
ing.

". 4. LAWLEY LUCKY WINNER

Searkville. Miss. Aug. p. :
Some time ago an announce
ment was made in the PRESS of
this and other states that two
beneficiary scholarships to the
Mississippi Agricultural and Me-
canical College had been offered,
one by the Southern Railway in
conjunction with the Alabama
Great Southern, and the other

the Mobile and Ohio. President
Hightower and the committee on
selecting the holders of these
scholarships have, with the con-
sent of the railroads conferring
the benefciaries. doubled the
number of scholarships and
halved the emoluments of each.
So that now there will be four
benefciaries conferring $100
each, instead of two at 5000 each,
as the original plan stipulated.
The scholarships offered by
the Southern Railway in con-
junction with the Alabama Great
Southern were open to
young men from the counties of
Alcorn, Lauderdale, Lowndes
and Tishomingo. The committee
on selection, after thoroughly
canvassing the applications, have
chosen as the successful candi-
dates: H. H. Lawley, Columbus,
Lowndes county, Hillie Under
wood, Kossuth. Alcorn county.
Lee Ross and Mercer C. Nickles
of Lowndes county were chosen
as alternates.
The remaining two scholar
ships, offered by the second
group OF railroa1is, were Won by
Messrs. Leonard Hicks, Rolling
Fork, Sharkey county, and
Claude Steele, Oakland, Talla-
hatchie county. The alternates
for this group are Stokes Nor

and Thomas Brown. Drew, Sun
