Maps Display Partiality.

Cleveland, July 1.-The Maps and Browns divided double header yes- terday, the Maps winning the first, 8 to 3, and losing the second, to 0. Gregg's a effective pitching, coupled with Turner's great batting, gave the Maps the verdict in the opener. Fur ner made four clean hits, including a double and homer, the latter coming with two on. Rip Hagerman started in to emulate Gregg's nice work, but an error by Graney in the first paved the way for the first run. Brassler s huff of Lajoie's throw in the third enabled the Browns to score two rlore, and Graney's miserable huff of an easy fly gave the Browns two others in the fifth. The scores:

 Detroit, July -Four innings of yesterdays game saw pitchers battle, then the Tigers made three runs in the fifth after chances had been offered to retire the side. Rus sell was sent to the shower and re- placed by Scott who also was easy for the Tigers. He was replaced by Ed Walsh, who got by in the seventh inning, but a combination of hits and weird fielding by his support in which four errors figured netted Detroit three more runs in the eighth. Dubuc kept the six hits scattered and got sensational assistance from his teammates The score:

Put DroneS To Work.

A Georgia grand jury finds that
there is a great deal of complaint in
regard to the Migrants" and that
lit is a common sight to see numbers
of men, both white and black, stand
ing and loafng continuously around
saloons and street corners"
There is a law in Georgia aimed at
the prevention of, as well as the pun
ishment for, vagrancy. There are
Instances where men are out of work
and cannot get employment. The
Georgia vagrancy law does not apply
to them. But it does apply where
there are a half dozen big, strapping
men running" one little coca-cola
joint or store with a wheelbarrOw or
two of goods on the shelves, and
where men can get work and will not
work, but loiter around the streets
and dives.
The high price of labor has had a
bad effect among shiftless negroes.
This does not apply to the negroes as
a whole, for among those of them
who are Industrious and mean we'll
there is an era of prosperity on which
they are well realizing. But among
the mo accounts" both white and
black, they can now make in tive
or three days what they made in 8
week some years ago and they prefer
to loaf when they have secured the
bare revenue necessary for existence
There is another class who will no
work at all, who prefer to live b!
their Wits and it is principal,
among them that crime is bred.
Those who can get work and won
work should be made to work.

THE CONVERSION OF tSILAS.

He scared the bosses right and left
And knocked folks off their feet.
A week from then he bought car,
1T was of high-hoss power.
He didn't take time off to eat,
But drove it every hour.
He raced with everybody who
Showed up within a mile;
He said you might as we'll be dead
AS not to be in style.
His whiskers blew out in the breeze,
AS down the road he flew;
He said, I'll show these gol-ding
bOobs
A fancy trick or tew."
He spent all his waking hours
In showing them new tricks:
Four cylinders became too tame,
And so he bought a six.
He's been arrested nineteen times
For speedin', so they say
He's got his whiskers all shaved off
For they got in his way.
| He talks of touring cars all day
! And dreams of them at night
! And nowadays whene'er he sees
A piece of horse flesh pass
! He sort o. chuckles, sneering like,
And hollers out: NO Glass;
! Topeka (Kan.) State Capital.

The president makes it clear that
he will not be a party to factional-
ism in his party. Those democrats
who are honestly opposing his policy
respecting tolls exemption will re-
ceive the same treatment in the mat
tiers of executive favors as those who
support that policy. This is broad
minded attitude, and will have the
approval of the country. A congress
man should act in accordance with
his convictions of duty, and not as
the president or any one else would
have him do.

The Pecan Industry,

In noting that pecans are becoming
more and more popular as an article
of food, and that prices will be main
tanned at a high level for many
years, the Adrian Index says that
thousands of acres in the South At
lantic and Gulf states could be profit
ably planted to this prince of nuts.
and every farmer in the region
should set out at least a few trees.
They serve well as ornament and
shade trees, and because of the profit
they will bring should be preferred
to many other kinds of trees.
Here in Southwest Georgia hun
dreds of acres are now devoted to
pecan culture, and the nuts grow to
perfection here. Many orchards have
already become profitable, produc-
ing thousands of pounds of nuts that
retail in the markets at % cents to
$1.0O a pound.
The pecan does best on good,
strong soil. Its native home is on
rich alluyial soil of the river bot
toms. 1t will, however, grow and
thrive almost anywhere in the cotton
belt.

A PATIENT, MODERATE MAN.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Ohio challenges the world to pro
duce the most patient man. And in
full confidence that her own first en-
trant will win all the hOnors in the
contest, Ohio makes known the man
and the evidence of his patience.
He is George F. Brown of Canton.
He hired out to a farmer in 1889 at
$50 a month, has not had payday
since, but has delayed till now suing
his employer. Three hundred months
at $50 a month equals $4,000, and
patient Mr. Brown wants the court to
get him that amount.
Think of a payday once in twenty
five years. Think of ghost" which
refuses to walk oftener than once
in a quarter of a century. Think,
further, of the supermannish patience
of an employe who would wait so
long to bring his boss before a jury
for an accounting.
The Canton man, one takes it, has
a moderate disposition. He has not
cared to do anything hasty. He prob
ably liked his position and, rather
than embarrass his employer by in
considerate demands for money, pre-
ferred now and then to give him
eight or ten years more for meeting
the pay roll. Even the benign posi-
bilities of arbitration as a peace
agency pale into impotency when
compared with such monumental pa
tiencc as this.

ON GOING COUNTING.
From Golfers Weekly.

From Golfers weekly.
In Boston they talk about limit
ing by law the length of courtship."
A bill fixing two years as the maxi
mum legal limit of 'courtin is,
says a dispatch, scheduled for ap-
pearance in the Great and General
Court of that grandiloquent common
wealth. Everyone knows that the
proportion of males to females is Pc
culiarly inadequate in Massachusetts,
hence the stir on Beacon Hill over
the term of wooing. IF they can't
marry all of u.s." one seems to hear
some philandering spinster explain
ing in the lunch room of the Indus
trial and Educational Union in Boyls-
ton street, they can anyway give
each of us turn at being engaged"
1t is, all the same, grave subject.
Being engaged is in some ways more
serious than being married. Person
ally, we reckon two years rather too
long a time to allow by law.
Mrs. Kathleen Norris, author of
Mother" thinks six months long
enough-'if a young man calls two
or three times week during that
period But is it possible that mar
riageS ever result Wnen ne calls SO
often? 1t is risking a good deal
letting ones sweetheart know one
that we'll before it's too late. But
that is a side issue. Engagements
were never all of mans making, and
are less so than ever at the present
time Though the parental referen-
dunn has passed into innocuous des-
uetude the girl in the case has the
initiative nowadays, just as she has
always had the recall. Perhaps the
high cost of amusements may, in our
larger cities, serve to shorten such
courtships as it does not wholly
wreck, Certainly new light is not
called for here-new light being
quite another matter. By the way,
at just what stage does counting be-
gin, anyway?

In Distressed Mexico.

Venustiano Carranza, generally
looked upon as the head and brains
of the Mexican element opposed to
the Huerta government, has come
out of the chapparel, so to speak,
and is now in range of civilized in1u-
ences. He has journeyed 500 miles
from the western coast of Mexico,
and is domiciled at Chihuahua, which
city he claims as the capital of the
rebels. The world will now have OPP
portunity to see what manner OF man
Carranza is-whether he is as en-
lightened as his friends claim, or is
simply a Mexican Indian with the
veneer of civilization. He can do
much to counteract the impression
the brutal bandit Villa has made. He
can give the revolutionary movement
far better standing, morally speak
ing, than it now enjoys. 1t is a
great opportunity for him, If he is
equal to the emergency.
villa 5 6HOII W capture LII iCOh
has attracted wide attention and in
terest. The effort is important in a
strategic and political way. If the
rebels capture the city the moral eff
feet will be to the disadvantage of
the Huerta government. If he holds
it and Villa is forced back to the
north, then Huerta's prestige would
be enhanced. The ultimate effect
might be the abandonment of Car
ranza's struggle against Huerta, and
the formation of republic in north
ern Mexico. The fighting around
Torreon has been of the most san
culinary character, the loss of life
and the suffering being beyond all
previous conflicts of the war.

ARE YOU BURNING DOLLARS?

From the Progressive Farmer.
We positively refuse to stand by
without protest and see the thOus-
ands of dollars worth of fertilizers
sent up in smoke from our Southern
farms. This indiscriminate burning
of cotton and corn stalks, grass,
straw and trash every spring is an
actual disgrace-an economic crime
that We hope not single Progressive
Farmer reader is guilty of. Of course
there may be time when the use of
fire is excusable, but such occasions
are very rare. Where the boil weevil
is bad and the work can be done in
October it is possibly good practice
to burn the cotton stalks, especially
if a cover crop of crimson clover is
sown on the land. But we find that
about one farmer in ten thousand in
weevil territory destroys his stalks
in October; and to burn them in the
winter and spring as a means of con-
trolling the weevil is worse than use
less.
Let us see what we are losing when
we burn stalks and litter off of our
lands:
Chemists have found that where
800 pounds of lint cotton have been
grown the whole stalks, including
leaves and burrs, contain % pounds
of nitrogen, worth at current prices
$3.50. In other words, where a farm
er CD grows ten bales of cotton and
burns his stalks he deliberately de-
stroys $50 pounds of nitrogen, or the
fertilizing equivalent of more than
80 sacks of cotton seed meal.
Where corn stalks, grass and
straw are burned the losses are little
less.
What would you want to do to a
man, Mr.. Farmer, who deliberately
set fire to one of your outbuildings
and burned several tons of costly fer
tilizers? Yet this is exactly what you
yourself are doing if you persist in
burning over your fields.
Rich land is the way to big crops,
and when you travel the fire route
you're going in exactly the opposite
direction.

OF all the fossils in our town
81 Haskins was the boss.
He said the autymobile never
Would replace the boss.
He always used to sheer and snort
Whenever one went by,
And when he'd see one busted down
He'd laugh until he'd cry.
He said the owners all were fools
To go and spend their dough
For them gol-ding contriyaHces
That never seemed to go.
Them devil-wagOns got his goat;
He'd never fall for one;
Of all the gol-durn foolishness
Gas wagons took the bun.
One day a nephew died and left
An old one-lung machine
A-standing out in old Sis barn.
81 got some gasoline
And poured it in the gosh-durn thin
To see if it would start.
He cranked it up and thought he'd tr.
To drive the old gas cart.

Forgetting all his care,
| And rode around till almost night
And visited everywhere.
