the city Monday on private business

Speaking of the industrial devel-
opment Of the Gulf Coast section.
Ar. Turnbull said that the cut-oyer
pine lands Of jackson county are be-
ing rapidly bought up by Northwest
srn farmers, who are improving the
and With pecan orchards, orange
groves, trucking and poultry farms.
ihe crosstie business Of the port has
increased to enormous proportions.
Something like 100000 ties, tswn
from the down timber, are shipped
|'lnonthly in steamers and large
schooners to the Atlantic seaboard.
a stave and box factory is among
tae new enterprises to be established
IN the east bank Of the river, backed
ty St. Louis and local capital. The
.ascagoula Street Railway and Pow
|es Company will receive six new
electric cars within the next two
weeks. These cars were specially
luilt in Cincinnati, Ohio. A sea
shore hotel is projected, and summer
visitors have already taken possess
in OF their cottages.
The greatest improvement in con-
temptation is the extension of the
Moss Point-Pascagoula Railroad. op-
Grating between Pascagoula and
Evanston, a distance Of forty-two
mixes. Plans are under way to con-
rect this line with the Queen and
Crescent al Laurel and Hattiesburg.
This will place the port in direct
communication with the capital of
t le state.
Messrs kracke & Flanders of New
Orleans, owners Of IL 900 acres of
ne land, have established veri-

arm. Pascago4la is claiming to be
le central point for the shipment of

lps to the Gulf banks, only fifty
niles south of the mainland.
The largest institution in So,,tb
mississippi is the Southern Paper

iiles east of Pascagoula. This con-
srn employs a small army of skill
. and unskilled Iaborers, many
y whom came from Northern Eu-
'pe. The country around the paper

on and many new homes hive

Great Interest Manifested.

The Mobile delegates who attended
the organization meeting of the New
Orleans, Mobile and Mississippi
Coast Federation of Commercial
Bodies are very much interested in
the development of the traction pro-
lect, says the Mobile Item.
Pursuant to the call of the chair
mar, The special committee of the
New Orleans, Mobile and Mississippi
Coast Federation of Commercial
Bodies appointed to further the
project of establishing an electric
traction line to Biloxi, is-expected to
meet shortly with the bylaws COM
mttee If the Coast Federation and
take steps toward realization of the
plan.
President l.. G., Irvine of the Fed
Grafton, Messers. E. o. Fowlkes,
jacob keiss, f. T. Allen and w. T.
Kelly, the Mobile delegates who at
tended the organization meeting In
Biloxi Monday, have great faith in
the enterprise.
II is remarkable, in my judge
ment, =, said Mr.. Irvine, "how thor
oughly alive the entire Mississippi
coast has become to the necessity of
organlz ng a solidarity of interests
trom Mobile to New Orleans in
order t. create in our superior coast
Advantages in the same way that
Southern California and South Flori- |
da appeal to the same public. Out |
Of this recognition of the necessity
Of the case resulted spontaneously |
the plan to bind all parts of this
Coast together by traction system.
The Mississippi Coast Traction
Company line, Is miles long, from
Pass Christian to Biloxi, furnishes
a great opportunity for such m ove-
men,. 1t, therefore, required COM
para,ively little inducement to bring
the delegates from all the coast cities
torealize what this impetus toprogress
could b made if extended to Mobile.
1t seems to be spontaneous response
from everyone. Of course this does
not mean that coast traffic line is
gong t. be developed between these
points by conversation and reSolu-
tons 1t is evident, however, that
each community holds it in its power
to put he matter through because
OF the cheap lands lying along the
route. The size of the cities to be
connected, the large tracts of cheap,
Ilndeve.Oped lands which will be
greatly increased in value by the
eonstru -tion of such a line, form
splendid basis for funding the propo-
stlon, and it is believed by the CO.
operation of all these communities
that such development can be
made 70 connect Mobile with the
Cite along the Mississippi coasts
and TO the great advantage of this
city.
This traction company could
handle freight exactly as the trac-
ton companies of Illinois and Indi-
ana DO and would give to this en-
tlIe coast the same advantages they
would ilave if a steam railway should
build into that section directly from
ChIoae). 1t was the unanimous
opinion of the forty delegates present
al this meeting that nothing that
Gould possibly be conceived Of would
so develop the coast country as
this project.

Packey and Welsh have met on several

airy Fl, 1908, at Milwaukee, Mcfarland won
the decision in ten rounds. On July 4,
1908, the two lightweights battled 25

CRACKERS 60 AFTER
BRAVES AGAIN TO-DAY

VI YELL the Crackers lost the
wv series to the Boston Ma
tionals yesterday, but that
will not keep them from going aft
er to-day's game with a rush.
They still believe that with their
best pitchers working, they can
trim the Braves the best day they
ever saw.
The game scheduled with Ty Cobb's
team tomorrow has been called off.
Cobb wired the Atlanta club from Rome
this morning that his team would not
be able to get here in time for Thurs

Henry has been in the big
leagues-for 80 minutes. He spent
that length of time with the Gin
cinnati Reds.
1t was last spring that Cincin-
natl got him. O'Day was manag-
ing the club at that time. Henry
had read in newspa pers that con-
fidence amounts to a heap in base
ball. Henry concluded that an
other good thing to do was not to
let anyone kid" him. Resolved
that he would never become a
mark" Henry packed his suit case
and left Oklahoma City for the
Ohio home OF the Reds.
Depositing the suit case in
hotel Henry visited the offices of
the Cincinnati ball club. O'Day
happened TO be in Garry Herr
mann's office when Jasper was an
nounced. O'Day being busy at the
time, Hermann stepped into the
outer office to look his new pitcher
over. Garry did not take time to
introduce himself. Garry started
giving Jasper a little talk. Con-
Guiding the sermon he returned to
his office. A few minutes later
O'Dsy stepped out. Hank intro
duced himself.
Say, O'Day." asked Jasper,
who's that big, fat Dutch slob
that was Just out here handin' me

Before O'Day could answer Herr
mann was back on the scene.

the other players to get their hits

@ UNSHINE and balmy spring
y breezes ushered in the At
lanta prep. league baseball
season at Piedmont park when the
Tech high school team met and
defeated Peacock school. The
score was II to 3. The game was
slow one and at times poorly
played, due to the fact that IT was
the first game of the season and
also that the diamond is new one,
and not in good working order yet.
Pitcher Covington, a recruit at
Tech high, proved too strong for
the Peacock boys and although he
was touched up for seven safeties
they were well scattered and came
at inopportune moments.
Bedell, of Tech high, started the
fireworks in the first inning when
he cracked out single and scored
soon after on an overthrow to
third. Peacock made its first run
in the fourth on a hit by oliver.

and eighth innings Some nice

Taking everything into consider
alton the game yesterday was a
fair sample of an opening game in
the prep. league. The men played
rather ragged at times but showed
that they can deliver the goods
when 1t comes to batting. In pre-
vious years the prep. league teams
have been noticeably weak with
the stick and the extra work put In
at batting practice this year has
not been wasted. Both teams bat
ted well yesterday and if they keep
improving at the same rate the
prep. league will have some slug
