| British Golfer
Remains In Fight
for Championship

WHEATON Sept a-=-The
preponderance Of Western players
among the survivors for the national
golf championship was less at the
end of the second round today than
| 1T had been previously. when play
ended today the West had four repre-
sentatives stiil In HE running. the East
had three, and England one, Norman
IT, Hunter.
AZ in none of the matches ton,or-
row players from the same section
of the country do not oppose each
other, II will be clean cut struggles
between East and West, with the ex-
ception OF the match In which Hunter
figures.
Just as the Hilton w aldo match
overshadowed all the others yester-
/, day. there was one match today which
| monopoltxed attention. 1t was the
clash between Jerome ID. Travers and
Walter ]. Travis, that drew the gall
ieries and both morning and after
noon big crowd tramped through the
lseorching heat behind the two East
ern golfers, who were lighting out
their fourth match in a national cham
pionship. Travers won two up and
one 10 play, and gave an exhibition
OF his power of rising to the occa-
sion that has made him famous among
American golfers.
While the crowds were following
Trarers and Travis, they were missing
some very good golf in the remaining
matches. Chick" Evans was right at
ithe top OF his game against Harry
Lee. of Detroit. and made the morn
ing round In :. the best or The tour
a a NJ fa "a
Lee AT the end OF the first round.
and won by nine up and eight 10
play.
Another Western victory was the
elimination of C. q. Waldo. Jr. the
conqueror of Hilton. by Paul Hunter.
The Connections champion was de-
cidedfy OF his game In the morning.
and was eight down at the twelfth.
He braced UP at that point. won back
three holes before he stopped for
funch, and was finally beaten by only
three up and two to play.
| Hamilton Kerr, the Ekwanok
golfer. rather surprised the Western
ers by dispensing OF KIDSrf SeckeI by
one UP in close match.
| Warren Wood got revenge for his
defeat by W.C.-E iaxnea. In The final
OF lsl8, by smothering the ex-cham-
pion today by q and 6 margin.
Norman F. Hunter defeated w. P.
Smith. of Philadelphia, by four and
three. after being two down at the
END of the mornings play.
1t Ii predicted by the golf enthu-
siasts that Chick Evans and jerome
hTravers will meet in the ffnai match
for the championship. This will be
the first time these young golf cham
pions have ever come together In a
match play. although Travers has
twice held the national title. once in
1907 and again IN 1908. Should these
two experts play In the finals, one
OF the greatest golf matches ever
seen In the West Is expected
| The parings tomorrow in the third
match round are as follows:
Mason Phelps VS.. Jerome n. Trav-
ers. Paul Hunter vs. HI X Kerr;
Charles Evans. Jr.. VS., III. III. Schmidt:

The Seven Days company is a

though her portrayal Of the role has
ably is a case of art triumphing over

FIGnT AGAINST BOIL WEEvIl
MORE DEMONSTRATION EXPERTS
ARE PLACED IN FIELD,
Plunkett Strengthened by Add
ton of New Men.

Meridian.-With thirteen agricultural
experts in the field to advise farmers ~
to the best methods of increasing the
yield of cotton per acre n growing it
in spite of the Mexican cotton boil wee
vii, the Southern Railway Company and
affiliated lines through their cotton cul
ture department propose to carry on n
vigorous campaign against. the spread
of the pest during 1912. The work OF
the department is to be carried on, not
only in localities where the weevil has
been found, but in territory to which it
has not spread in order that if it should
spread further eastward the farmers may
be prepared for its coming.
The cotton culture department, which
is under direction of 7. o. Plunkett, a
highly qualified expert, whose head
quarters are at Chattanooga, has recent
ly strengthened by the addition of new
men and the whole organization is bet
ter prepared to lend valuable assistance
to the farmers of the South in combat
ting the weevil.
These men are splendidly equipped to
give the farmers advice as to the prep
~aration of their fields and the c%ultiva-
ton of their crops. The cultural meth
DDS advocated are similar to those of
the late DR.. S. A. Knapp. The serv-
ices of the agents are entirely free to
all farmers along the lines of the South
ern Railway n affiliated liens, the eS-
pense of the cotton culture department
being borne by these companies in the
belief that their interests are identical
with those of the people they serve.

COTTON BROKER KILLS SELF
WALTER p. REESE, NATCHEZ,
VICTIM.
Suffered Strike of Paralysis Some
Months Ago, From Which He
Never Fully Recovered.

Natchez.-Walter P. Reese, a member
of the firm of Reese L Morgan, cotton
brokers of Natchez, shot himself in the
head here and died four hours later.
Mr.. Reese suffered a stroke of paralysis
several months ago. He had never fully
recovered, it is said. The firm of which
he was a member is well known over
the South.
A negro porter found the injured man
upon entering the offices of the firm.
Mr.. Reese was still seated in a chair
before a desk. The revolver vas on the
floor, where he had dropped it after
shooting himself. The employee gave the
alarm, and physicians summoned hastily
decided to take the injured man to a
hospital.
The contents of a letter left by the
broker, addressed to his partner, have
not been made public, but the announce
ment was made hat Mr.. Reese's self.
destruction probably was due to the state
of his health.
