London, June 15.-(Special Hundred Years Ago ball at the Al bert Hall was one of the most interest ing social events of the season. The ladies organizing quadrilles not only ransacked family archives. but had re- course to the British museum so as to secure absolute accuracy as to the char acters to be represented, and theatrical costumers were rushed to the limit in executing orders. Men, however. eX- perienced considerable difficulty in get ting their orders executed, for Georgian hunting coats and knee brooches. must be made by first class tailors, hundreds of whom were still on strike No one was admitted to the ball room who was not in fancy dress, but there was free dom of choice, so long as the style in vogue a century ago was followed.
 The most important of the quadrilles was the "Waterloo' in which the Duch- ess of Marlborough appeared as the Duchess of Richmond in dress which Is a replica of that worn by her grace at the famous ball on the eve of Water loo. This quadrille was arranged by

Prince Alexander of Battenburg, danced in the "society" quadrille as well as Lady I<ilmorey's son. Lord New ry, Lord Victor Paget. Lord Desmond Fitzgerald, Lady Ingestre, Miss Sack vile West. Mrs. Heneagre and Miss Le- vina Bingham
 The ball was held in aid of the Sol diers' and Sailors Help society.
 A particularly effective costume was the one designed from the German lan- cer regiments uniforms of 1872. clever ly adapted to a ladys dress by the ad- dition of a short skirt of green cloth, slit up to the knees and slashed with red. The black leather helmet had a metal top and eoque plumes, two chains linking 1t on to the breast Another uniform which was greatly admired was that of the German Grenadier guards of 1872. It is of blue and white cloth. with collar and cuffs of bright red.
 The Nelson auadrille gave fine op- portunity for varied naval uniforms for the men partners. and Nelson" was seen in tunic identical with the one in which the national hero met his death.

 When hits were needed to score runs the Selma batsmen slugged safely and won the game from Bessemer. 4 to 8. The opposite applied to the Pipemakers, but the boys threw an awful scare into the camp of the Selmans. An error by Morgan proved costly to the locals. as it allowed two of the four runs to cross the pan. A homer over left field fence by lawn Cochran featured the game
 Robertson allowed but six hits, but these came at opportune moments for the vis- itors. McManus was touched up for Il safeties, but he was as tight as snare drum in the pinches and held the lowly Pipemakers. The Pipemakers rallied in the ninth, but could push across but one run, whereas two were needed to tie the score and three to win the game.
 Selmans Get Busy
 After Bessemer had failed to score in the first, although two swats were driven out, the visitors scored in the second. Earl Hanna, Baron discaro, opened with double to left field vasterling then drove him in with a single to left. The same stunt was repeated in the ninth in ming. The other two runs were scored fin the sixth. After McManus was out and Gandolfi had whiffed at three of the southpaws slants, Herman singled. Chast- ant singled. sending Kernan to the third station. Then Hanna tried the hit and run play. Chastant was near second when Hanna hit to Heck. Heck begged per- fectly to Morgan at first, but Jimmy dropped the throw and allowed both to score.
 The umpire did not see the play at first base and called the runner out, but when the players declared that Morgan dropped the ball the umpire asked the official scorer whether or not the same was true. When the scorer verified the fact that Morgan had dropped the ball, the umpire allowed the run to be scored
 Bessemer Scares Selma
 Bessemer scared Selma often. In the third, with two down. lawn Cochran sent the ball over left field fence and completed the circuit tour. Then in the eighth, Walker singled for the second time in the game, and annexed second Cochran popped up to Herman, who dropped the fly and allowed Walker to score the second run. In the ninth, it seemed as if Bessemer would tie up the game. Ramage opened with a line drive to center field, which took a neat bound. and Hanna stabbed it. Morgan repeated, while Pierres grounder to first advanced both a station. Benedict grounded out to second, scoring Ramage Here Hickman sent in Fry to bat for Robertson, but the elongated twirler could do no more than hit hot grounder to Vasterling, retiring the side and Bessemers chances.
 The game could have been won several times if the Bessemer sluggers had hit McManus in the pinches. However, the swat was not forthcoming and Bessemcr lost A small crowd witnessed the game. Selma accorded McManus sensational support Anniston will have a hard time defeating the Selma bunch if the Selmans play as we'll as in the past series.

ruPeLo AS A COTTON MARKET

A comparative statement OF

has become the third in the state.

Meridian second.
The territory from which Tu-
pelo receives cotton supplies q
long staple which is in demand,

higher than the average price
paid in this state. Our facilities
for handling have been increased
as the business demands it. yet
the past season found our COM
press without sufficient storage
room to accommodate their con-
signments.
In the brick compartments
there are $40 feet by 165 feet. The
shed erected the past fall is 700
feet long by liz feet wide. An
additional 20 feet will be added
to accommodate the next seasons
business. The capacity of the
compress is 100, 900 bales while
the city yards will take care of
an additional 5000 bales.
The city warehouses and COM
nress offer the cheapest rate of
Msurance, and every facility for
handling their receipts promptly.
For the season 1909-191O the
total receipts were 12,773 bales;
1910-1911 40, 565 bales, and so far
for the season of 1911-1912
1891 bales.
During the coming season
there will be thirteen buyers To-

The government has at last
reached the point of notifying
the rebel chief, Orosco, Of Mexi-
CO, that the raids and attacks
upon citizens of this country
must stop. For months Ameri-
cans in Mexico have been made
to desert their homes and bust
ness and seek safety outside
that country, and this great and
benign government fails to raise
it's voice against such depreda-
ton. No American should be
driven from another country if
he is pursuing in a lawful way
his avocation, and the govern
ment that fails to protect it's
citizens forfeits the respect of
its own people and the people of
other countries.
