PROTEST AGAINST ROAD WORK,

Editor The Commonwealth:
Dear Sir:-In your paper of the 3rd
inst. you say:
Let every good citizen cooperate in
the movement for better public roads. -
Now, Mr.. Gillespie, don't you think
we have done pretty we'll? Our taxes
this year advanced about one-half
What more do you want? Certainly
you 90 t want to advance them 10O
per c,.C.! Now, / would advance an
other plan: Why not build a few miles
of roads each year, and build according
to expert opinion and not by a fellow
who could not build a road if he knew
how?
Get an expert road-builder and let
him build a few miles every year. What
is the use paying a man a hundred dol
lars a month to have a road that is
passable about four months in the year?
l wish you a happy and prosperous
New Year. Yours truly,

This is a good sign of getting in
better shape for the coming year.
Mr.. Means Johnston has built a

GREENWOOD. LrFLoRE COUNTY. MISSISSIPPI. FRIDAY. JANUARY IT, 1918.
REDUS WILL HEAD THE COTTON
STATES.

J. E. Redus, of Meridian, has beef
elected president of the Cotton States
League to succeed Arthur Lewis, re
signed. A. L. Weiss was chosen
secretary.
The new president is an enthusiastic
fan. a successful business man, and il
is the confident prediction of his friend.
that he will more than make good in
his new assignment.
The meeting was held in the Ed.
wards Hotel of this city and was at,
tended by representatives Of all the
clubs. Early in the session it became
evident that it would be impossible to
make the Cotton States an eight-team
circuit, as there seemed to be no other
city that cared for a franchise. Hat
tiesburg settled the matter satisfac-
torily by dropping out.
The impression has been gaining
ground in baseball circles for some
time that the Piney Woods metropolis
didn't care for a franchise as they
feared it would be a loss of money to
try to keep a team through the sum-
mer months.
The league now consists of Selma,
Ala. Meridian, CIarksdale, Greenwood,
Columbus and Jackson. This arrange
ment makes a compact league and it is
believed all the towns on the circuit
will stick to their guns.
1t has been decided to open the sea
son Thursday, April 10. The opening
games will be played in Columbus,
Greenwood and Clarksdale.
According to local fans, the pros
poets of the Cotton States are brighter
this year than ever before, and it is ex-
pected good attendance will mark the
games in every city on the circuit.
The president Of the league will not
have as much authority as was granted
in the Lewis plan, although Lewis idea
will to a large extent be used. The
president will sign all players, but the
paying of them will be left to the man
agement of the individual clubs. 1t is
thought, however, that the fact that
the president will sign the players will
keep each team in the salary limit.
The fact that Selma is in the league
and evidently there to stay is looked
upon as a great boost to the Cotton
States. This is a live town and num-
bers many t~hirty-second degree fans in
her ranks.
The schedule of the league has not
been arranged but will be announced at
a later date. jackson Clarion Ledger.

1t is true that practically the
