9 cents. The cotton fields had been sud denly transformed to corn and wheat fields to feed the Confederate army. The blow cultivation, required by grain crops. filled the land with grass and weeds filled
 the ditches. The hoe cultivation, required by the cotton plant was thus made very difficult for several years after the war. The necessity for greater care in the cultivation of cotton and the heavier toll imposed by the bad condition of the soil, came at time when the Freedmen's Bureau in Mont gomery was most active, and most vicious in its efforts to demoraiize the negro labor. To illustrate: the chaplain or ne gro regiment, Y. S. A, stopped in Mont gomery In 1865, to engage in the low poll itics in vogue for aN aNlivelihood. He was candidate for Congress and the negroes had been given the ballot from Washing ton. He advertised himself to speak on a

Simultaneously Captain Kolb was nominated by party calling itself "Jeffersonian Democracy" assembled in Convention at McDonald's Opera House, Montgomery. A large ano most respect- able body of citizens attended. where P. c. Bowman. Esq. presided.
 Want of space Is too obvious to be ex plained. The records of the election in August show that Jones defeated Kolb by more than .00O majority.

HARD FIGHT FOR

Mccormick Secures Highly Tout
ed Youngster to Try for Place
Between Second and Third.

"HATTANOOGA, TENN, Jan. -.
l If reports from the West are
devoid of ali but a legitimate
portion of eXaggeration, Chief Mi
chael Balenti faces one of the most
difficult tasks of his active career in
driving a redskin spike in the short
stop position upon Moose" McC0r-
mick's 1914 Lookout machine. The
obstacle which the aborigine must
overcome is the unCanny ability of
young Mr. Brandt to CaVort around
the shortfield position in defensive
manner very much a la Barry and In
an offensive way greatly d la Tinker
In short, to occupy permanently the
berth between Flick and Graft. BalenG
must show a clear superiority 20
man that hammered the pill to the
tune of ,2S5 in the Canadian League
fielded about .935 and plfered approx
lmately so bases
Balenti, in short, faces n problem
as healthy as the one which held a
tete- a-tete with his forefathers when
they attempted to stem the Caucasian
invasion of the land which Columbus
unearthed Perhaps the Chief can
show the youngster a clean pair u
heels. but he must move with some
thing like the velocity OF a biplane,
for young Mr.. Brandt, in addition to
the numerical assets Just stated, IS
also a ten second man in the true
meaning of the term As a lead off
man he is said 10 be another Sho;-
ten or Higgins
While it is not even intimated that
Brandt can force Balenti To other
fields there is undoubtedly a posi-
bility that he may crowd him into he
garden. His presence there would
really be a logical disposition, for it
would remove the necessity of re-.
tanning another left-hander upon The

LIP 7 D N 8 NEW.
CUP CHALLENGER.
TOBE 75-F00TER
Shamrock ", Though Being Built
in Secrecy, Is Revealed to
Americans by Paper.

~ an exhaustive article discussing
Sir Thomas Lipton's new cup
challenger, Shamrock, ", and
the conditions governing the Ameri-
"a Cup race, the London Times
says
Shamrock ~. will be 75-footer,
and the yachts being built in Ameri-
"a from which the defender will be
selected are being built to the same
rating The defenders have some lat
jtude however as, while Shamrock
~ will not be permitted to exceed
IS feet by the smallest fraction, the
defending vessel need not necessarily
come within that rating. This in
itself is a very much bigger advan-
age to the defenders than it may APP
pear to any one not intimately &C.
ouainted with the sport of yachting,
as il will enable those in charge of
the American fleet of potential de-
tenders to find out the best trim in
which their boats sail without hav-
ing to work. about the exact rating.
If, for instance, a vessel already of
ter for a little more ballast which
would by immersing her deeper in
crease her length, there is nothing to
prevent her being so improved, but
this applies only to the vessels built
for the desefense.
With the running of the lead keel
Of Shamrock ". some time ago in
'erest in all details relative to the
forthcoming contest began to grow
apace.
Weight Variousy Estimated.
The lead keel has been computed
al various weights ranging up to 90
tons For all we know it might be
this or even more, but probaly it is
much under that. The yachts in this
country more nearly approaching the
dimensions of the challenger are the
23-metre cutters, which slightly eX-
coed eighty feet on the water line.
The i'll -fated Brynhild of that rating,
built in the same yard as that in
which Shamrock ". is being con-
Of lead on her keel. It is hardly to
be expected that a 75-footer would
nave 80 per cent more weight.
The new challenger will without
doubt be as extreme a type of boat
as the rule will permit. Mr.. Nichol-
son has during the past two years
shown us what he can do under the
European rating rule with such YES
sells as lstria, Pamela and Paula Ill,
hIteenmetre cutters which have been
described as freaks, and we may con-
sequsntIy look forward to seeing
boat of abnormal proportions in
