EMPIRE STATE LEAGUE
DIRECTORS TO MEET

Brunswick, Ca, Oct. 6.-The direc-
tors of the Empire State league will
hold a meeting the latter part of the
present month for the purpose of elect
ing a new president, others officers
and making arrangements for next
season.
President Grower has not as yet an
nounced the exact date of the meeting
or the city in which it is to be held.
Just who will be named to head
the league is not known. President
Grower has announced that he will
not stand for reelection, and but few
names have been mentioned in. con-
nection with the position. President
Cornish, Of the South Atlantic league
has been discussed in some of the
cities of the smaller circuit, and he
may be asked to accept the presi-
dency.
Many other matters will also come
up at the meeting. The date for the
opening of the next season will be de-
cided upon, and it is likely that it will
be decide to open up on Memorial
Day, the same as the South Atlantic
league. That the six cities which COM
posed the league last season will all
retain their franchises there is no
doubt, and while there has been some
talk of adding two more cities that
hardly seems probable.

BAILIFFS BREAK CONCEALED
WEAPON LAW DAILY

Atlanta, Oct. 6.-That practically
every bailiff and constable in Atlanta
carries a pistol habitually though It
is against the law for him to do so, is
apparently shown by number of re-
cent arrests of bailiffs in each in
stance of which a gun was found Oh.
the mans hip.
Bailiff w. A. Johnson, attached to a
Decatur street peace justice court,
has already been bound over to the
higher court by Recorder Broyles,
ard it is understood that similar ac-
ton will be shortly taken in other
cases.
1t is said that these bailiffs make a
flourish of their weapons every time
they go into the houses of negroes or
white people in poor circumstances,
to levy on furniture or household
goods for debt.

REP. c. R. CRISP
IN AMERICUS FOR
BRIEF VACATION
DURING LULL IN The HOUSE
Thinks Senate Will Pass Cur
rGnCy Bill

Quite Unexpectedly, but none the less
to the pleasure of his frineds here,
Representative Charles R. Crisp re
turned from Washington yesterday for
a stay of a few days at his home in
Americas. He will remain here during
the greater part of this week, quite
probably, looking after his farm and
other interests, and mingling with
friends.
Just at this iuncture the members Oh
the house find time hanging heavily
upon their hands, as further legislation
is blocked effectually, until the sena:e
takes final action upon the new cur
rency bill.
1--WE have put the measure up to the
senate, and there is no telling when
action will be taken there" said Mr..
Crisp yesterday. ut required but
few hours for the house to pass upon
the amended currency bill and send it
back to the senate, and the house is
now merely awaiting the action of that
body"
Mr.. Crisp thinks the bill will be
passed all right; exasperatingly DELHI
crate in some instances, and it may be
weeks before final action is taken up
on the new currency bill.
In the meantime the house members
can do nothing in the way of new leg
islation and has practically adjourned
for time, although there is roll call
twice weekly, as a formality only.
Other Georgia members have also come
home for the unexpected recess result
ing from delay of the currency bill in
the senate.
Mr.. Crisp, very naturally, is greatly
elated at the successful adoption of
the new tariff measure, as it will afford
unreasonable relief to the people a.
large. The tax is taken off many arti-
Gle of daily consumption and very
greatly reduced on others. Hereto
fore, under the republican tariff. such
articles were tax burdened, and the
cost of living increased.
Mr.. Crisp thinks that there will be
no action by this congress upon the
cotton tax measure. While he favors
due protection to the masses and 10
the business interests of the country at
large, he favors legislation as to 9th ar
products also, and opposes any "ham-
mering" of cotton, the south's staple
crop while the crops of other sections
are not affected.
This extended session has been a
busy one, despite the fact that tariff
reform and the currency bill have, to
such great extent monopolized con-
gress.

Editorial Opinion
LET aHOss SENSE" RULE.


From the Dover Republican.
1t strikes us the managers of the
Republican party in Wilmington are
exhibiting very little political acu-
men or even common 'hoss' sense.
The Regular Republicans, the Ma
tional Progressives" and the Bull
Moose PrOgressives" are all Republi-
cans, and as such they certainly
cannot desire to turn the complete
control of that city over to the
Democrats. But unless these Repub-
licans combine they will certainly do
Just that thing We would earnestly
suggest that the rank and file of the
party in that city demand that liberal
minded, practical men be placed in
control of affairs in each branch of
the party-man who can bring all
these elements together.
We feel concerned about the con-
ditiOns now prevailing in Whining
ton because VIC realize that if the
chances of the Republican party are
sacrificed there through inanity, lack
of sense, or from any other source
the State will be Influenced by the
result, and that its effects will be
felt even down to the next general
State election.
Wilmington is a Republican city
as this State is a Republican State
1t was just "by the skin of our teeth

tanned because they we're using a cor.

transgress in the same direction
They successfully played their game
and won on it. Our men working
honestly, fairly, made the grievou'
mistake of not discovering ant
checking the work of the corrup
tionists, and the result is known
This was a blunder in one line
and it was disastrous. Now do no
let us have it duplicated in another
line in the Wilmington election
There is no question that the Demo
Gratis will use every effort to keel
the Republican party elements apart
and our party managers have bu
little time so to assimilate these ele
ments as to convince them that Re
