my trouble was of long standing. 1t
started with some small red and yell
on my leg and every morning there
was dry scale on top covering the
affected part and when those scales
were falling of the itching was more
than could stand at times. The first
year l did not mind it so much us it
was only itching very badly at times,
but the second year 1t advanced all
around my leg and the itching was
terrible. l had to be very careful to
have my clothing around the affected
part very loose. At night time l often
sleep. Then l had to stand up. get out
Of bed and walk the floor till the spell
was over.

means that Commy will have to deal
with the Maps for the services of
BeaI, as the latter could not be legal
ly the property of the Brewers if
waivers had not been secured. The
fact that Beall was sent back by
Cleveland does not mean he is a poor
player. He batted over $50 with
Denver last year, and tore off sew
eral extra base wallops. He had little
chance with Cleveland. Birmingham
has one of the best regular outfields
in the business, and is well provided
with substitutes in Ryan, Liebold and
Lelivelt. There was simply no place
for Bean after Ryan took Birmy's
place and began to deliver the clouts.
Beall has had chances with the Sox
before, but is now a much improved
man.
Another point on which to grow
joyful is, the two doubles collected by
Chick Mattiek yesterday. The speedy
center fielder cracked one to left and
one to right, and each was a healthy
smash. If Matty can only strike his
stride, and Beal is added to. the Sox
roster, the outfield will be consider
ably bolstered up, and with Chase in
the infield the prospects look good
for fight all the way.

Leonard. Morris Rath dinged tive,

Connie Mack used Cottrell, a

MERIDIAN PAYSOFF
EMPLOYEES IN SCRIPT.
Fact of the Treasury Being
Practically Empty Causes
Much Distress

Meridian, Miss, September 5.-(Special.) }
that the city of Meridian had to pay off
its employees this week in scrip, the first
time such a thing has happened for many
years. The city treasury is practically
empty and will remain that way until
taxes are collected, unless charter
amendment permitting a bond sale is
ratified at a city election to be held for
that purpose September 10.
Under the commission government law,
the city council cannot borrow money in
sums of 500 or over, nor can they con-
tract any Indebtedness for this amount
and over without first having the matter
ratified by vote of the people A bond
issue was voted several months ago for
the sum of $4,000 and the greater part
of the bonds was sold to the the New
York Life Insurance company at 51a per
cent, payable serially, but the purchasing
company demanded that the city adopt
a charter amendment limiting the indebt-
edness of the city to 10 per cent of the
assessed valuation of real and personal
property, which Is the limit fixed by the
state law but which Meridian would have
the power to exceed under her special
charter.
1t is believed that the charter amend
ment will be adopted September 19, and
that the city will thus be enabled To
meet its obligations from the general fund
without issuing scrip.

ACETATE PRISON
FARM SYSTEM
Chattanooga Wants to Solve
Problem for Short Term
Prisoners

Chattanooga. September 5.-(Special)-A
wide movement is on foot here for the
adoption of the prison farm system to
solve the problem which Chattanooga
faces in providing larger and more eco
nomical quarters for her short term prs-
-oners. The farm solution was first sug-
gested when the city physician condemned
the present e street Jail as jnsanitary and
inadequate, and demanded that immediate
action be taken to provide other quar-
ters.
The first site suggested for the farm
was William Island, which is situated in
the Tennessee river about five miles be-
low Chattanooga and contains about one
square mile of land. There has been some
opposition to this location on the grounds
that it is at times inundated, but real op-
position has been discovered to the farm
system 1t is generally considered to be
more humane, more efficient and more
economical. Most short term prisoners
are not hardened criminals and their CON-
finement is more matter of probation
than one of punishment. The majority OF
the city officials are heartily in favor OF
the plan.

Judge Henry C. Niles of the federal court

Greenville, September 5.--(Special)-In a
preliminary hearing before Judge A. T.
Ramage Miss Lytha Smith, who shot and
killed J. d. Wilkinson on last Sunday
night, was not bound over to the action of
the grand jury. The evidence given in
the hearing convinced the judge that she
was justifable in the killing of Wilkin-

Smith and her widowed mother This
was refused and he made entrance by
force and upon entering the door Miss
Smith emptied load of buckshot into his
right leg, the wound causing such loss
of blood that Wilkinson died.
