grow out OF a reduction of tariff duties.

conditions which defy accurate measure

often heard say during the war that no
Yankee would ever get him without
first killing him, and when the company
mentioned reached Shuqualak he was
the first negro to get to them and to

pie for one year, but must be new
subscriptions for seven years and
must be handed in all at one time.
For every seven renewal SUBJ
scriptions 5000 extra, making a
total of $500 These may be for
seven different people, or all for

will decide the winners OF the
piano and other prizes.

Civic League Making
Macon a City Beautiful

The Civic League of Macon. Noxubee
county. Mississippi, was organized in
1911 by the ladies of the city and its
two years of existence has accomplished
a great deal. Mrs. E. E. Dantzler was
it's first president and has been contin.
ued in the Office: Mrs. ]. F. Ames il
vice. president. Mrs. Gus Minor, treas
urer and Mrs. F. A. Thompson, secre-
tary.
The first work of the league was the
purchase and placing of garbage cans
on Main street and the waging of an &C
tive campaign for municipal cleanliness
and sanitation. An annual cleaning
up day" was. established, and at least
once year in the spring the streets, va
cant lots and all the front and back
yards in the city are cleaned up and
beautiied. In all its work the league
has had the cordial assistance and CO.
operation of the municipal authorities
and Of the public generally. The city
provides wagons to remove the rubbish
and garbage, and the board of mayor
and aldermen has rassed ordinances
recommended by the league looking to-
ward sanitation and cleanliness, while
the municipal officers have exerted
themselves to forward the work of the
league.
While accomplishing much in ma
terial way, the best result ofth leagues
efforts has been arousing and making
active the civic pride of our townspeo-
pie. The outward appearance Of the
streets and private premises has been
greatly improved, the many beautiful
trees on some of our streets are trimmed
and better cared for, and stagnant
water in waste or abandoned places is
not seen now. Another thing of i'm
portance is that both the city and coun-
ty health officers find themselves great
ly assisted in their work as one result
of the leagues existence.
At present the league, working with
the city school board, is engaged in
identifying the grounds Of the Macon
high school. The school building is a
handsome $40, 900 briek k structure located
in the center of a city block containing
about five acres. all of which is school
grounds. The building stands on an
eminence and is the only structure on
the square, and can be seen long dis
tancss from the city. The league will
grade and terrace the grounds, plant

CUPID BOTHERS KAISER
Daughter of American Aambassador
in Love With Duke.

Washington, April 22.-The United
States ambassador to Germany, John
G. Leishmann, is, running the risk OF
having the kaiser ask for his recall. If
he insists on marrying his daughter to
the duke of Croy, contrary to the
wishes of the German court, according
to state department officials
Secretary Bryan was somewhat dis
turbed today because of the report
that the kaiser was angry with the
ambassador for permitting a courtship
TO progress to the extent of an en-
gagement between his daughter and
the duke.
1t is the opinion of the state depart
ment that when Mr.. Leishman accepted
the amba adorship to Germany he was
bound to abide by the court etiquette
which makes its own rules for the
marriage of royal personages. If he
persists in favoring a romance that is
displeasing to the kaiser. nothing short
of a rebuke of some character can be
expected, it is claimed.
No one here believes that Ambassa-
dor Leishman will consent to NOR
ganatic maria ge between his daughter
and the duke of Croy.
Miss Nancy LeiShmann is not known
to Washington society. She has never
visited here, having been taken abroad
when quite young.

COBB'S SECRET OUT.
Officers of Players Fraternity Wants.
Case Arbitrated.

New York, April 22.-Ty Cobb's re-
fusaI to report for duty with the De-
troit club because among other things
he demands an increase in his salary
to $4,000 has brought publicity 10
the fact here that Cobb is one OF the
vice presidents of the baseball players
fraternity The significance of this Is
discussed in baseball circles as having
an important bearing on the principles
of the fraternity, for when the new
protective union of baseball players
was organized last October, one of the
principal objects in view was declared
to be the arbitration of disputes over
salaries between players and their en-
pIoyers. An advisory board was APP
pointed to handle just such cases and
Cobb was named as one of six mem :.
bers to serve in this capacity. SO far
as known, however, the advisory
BOARD has made no overtures for the
arbitration of this matter in which one
Of its own members is involved. 1t is
said that the boards failure to make
any arbitration offer is due to Cobb's
refusal to sanction such a move, as
Cobb asserts there is nothing to arbi-
rate.
