started like a duel between Benz and
Shawkey, but lost the resemblance
in the sixth when, following a triple
by Schang with the bases full, Benz
caromed off the gTandstand roof and
was still going when Callahan las
seed him and sent in Smith to finish
it. The final count was to 1, a sad

Washington. ID. c., June 9.-(Spec-

at Large from Oklahoma. today sent
out the following statement:
II feel it my duty to be candid with
the people of Oklahoma by stating to
them that the Postmaster General will
listen to the advice of no Congress-
man at Large recommending for sp-
pointments applicants for postmaster:
and further to state that, in order to
test whether u should file protests
against Questionable men, especially
where they have been convicted OF
crime or been guilty of shortage or
official peculation, ! have filed for
such reasons five protests and two for
personal and political reasons, and one
of the latter later withdrew, AS a
result find that neither will my pro-
test avail anything in defeating an
unqualified or even dishonest man.
Therefore. have decided to have
nothing to do whatever with the mat
ter of patronage before the Postoffice
Department. The wisdom OF this
course will be apparent to everyone.
] should not sacrifice valuable time in
a vain and hopeless effort to secure
appointments before a department
wherein will be considered neither my
Recommendation nor protest. Some
person has evidently made this De-
partment believe that am without
standing in the state and that my elec.
ton was nothing more than an acci-
dent.
II am further convinced that to
Senator Gore or one of the District
Congresmen will be due the credit OF
blame for the appointment OF every
postmaster in the state. make this
statement candidly. that applicants in
the future may know to what source
to apply in order to be successful, and
that the people may know to whom
belongs the credit or blame for these
appointments.

POOR MAN SHE

She made him lie In certain posi-

and wouldn't let him move an inch, he
said.
She beat him, he declared.
She threw mud on the baby's dress
so he couldn't take 1t to walk on Sun

The straw that broke the canals
back, he said was when she teased
him by holding another mans picture
up before their baby's face, and sing
ing to the child.

Mr.. Sacrey declared in the suit that
he loved his wife, but that his whole
life had been very much like Sher-
mans definition of War.
He said that the only way he could
ever get the best of her was to take
q rope and tie her when she few into
tantrums, and that even then 1t only
mad it worse when he let her loose

AMERICUS PRICE
FOR COTTON Is
Thirteen CENTS
RESULT OF LATE ESTIMATE
Putting the Crop at l3,677,-
900 Bales

The price of cotton again touched
thirteen cents in the Americus mar
ket yesterday morning when the gov
was published at IL o'clock, the figur ss
being 13,677,000 bales. AS many al
legged authorities had previously CIV
en- estimates" ranging from 100000
to 100000 bales the effect of the
official bureau report was gratifying.
Almost Immediately there was an
advance of fifteen points in the futures
market, and the. better grades here
were again quoted by warehouseme
at 13 cents.
In fact, any considerable line OF fine
cotton will readily bring the hoodoo
figure, so anxious are buyers to secure
good grades, but just now most of the
cotton marketed is "off grade" and
sells for less price. However. some
sales at 13 cents were effected yester-
day.
The bulk of the crop in Sumter
county has already been marketed, and
when the Christmas bales" are dis
posed of there will be little left on the
farms. Considerable cotton is still
held in local warehouses and some Of
this may be carried until spring, unless
the price suits the discriminating view
of the owners. who really do not need
the money, anyway.
The census bureau reports cotton
ginned in Sumter county to December
LIST at 34947 bales. which compared
with 29,511 bales ginned to that date
last season. an excess this season of
5,436 bales. These are official figures.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 12.-With
her starboard main shaft broken and
several of her compartments flooded,
the battleship Vermont is limping to-
ward Hampton Roads on her return
from the Mediterranean cruise, under
convoy of the battleship Delaware and
the colliers Orien and Jason. The ac-

day and at s o'clock last night the
Vermont was 1900 miles from Hamp-
ton Roads and 500 miles from Ber-
muda.
Mechanical experts at the navy d.
partment believe the Vermont stern
tube shaft is broken and they think
injury must also have been done 10
the bulkhead in order to permit water
to flood the compartments.
A radiogram to the navy depart
ment from Rear Admiral Chas. Z
Badger, commander in chief of the

said there was no cause for alarm. The
Vermont is proceeding to Hampton
Roads under her port engine, making
knots in comparatively smooth sea.

Hub Talley has the dishonor of hav-

After serving dozens of stockads
and chaingang sentences, he was fin

ty in convincing the asylum authorit-
les after short time that while he
was worthless he wasn't crazy. So he
came back to Atlanta.
But he left the asylum only to return
to the stockade, for the tsate supreme
court has just decided that since the
asylum freed him as sane man his
former alleged insanity cannot stand
between him and the old sentences.
