 ''The Chester was moored inshore
 nearest to the firing and at daybreak
 rifle firing was directed from small tugs and barges near No 3 breakwater.
 This was returned with rifle fire but had
 to be silenced by a 3-inch gun. Later firing from number of points in this section of the city was located and both S-inch and 5-inch guns of the Chester had to be used to silence it. 'Soon after the final advance of the landing forces into the city which com menced about S:30 a. m. of the 22d, the Second regiment consisting of the bat talions of the New Hampshire, South Carolina, Vermont and New Jersey marched across the open space between the light house and the naval academy passing to the southward.. When our men met with a heavy fire most of them dropped prone on the ground or against lower walls of the naval school and in- stantly the guns of the Chester Prairie and San Francisco opened fire. The fir- ing was very accurate, directly over the heads of our men, and in short space of time the whole second story of this building, about 800 feet front, was a wreck, not shot missing us marx.

BELIEVES FORNEY
 MONUMENT SECURE
Dr. Allen of Jacksonville Op- timistic Following Confer
 ence With Governor

Anniston, June 7.-(Special. With the assurance of the governor that he will at once appoint commission to appor- ton the states appropriation of s25.0Oo toward monuments of Alabama soldiers in the national cemetery at Washington and the consent of Mrs. Townes Ran dolph Leigh of Montgomery to take the stump in behalf of the project Dr. W. T. Allan of Jacksonville, chairman, Is op- timistic with reference to the securing of funds with which 70 erect a suitable monument to General John H. Forney, the hero of Vicksburg.
 Dr. Allan has Just returned from Montgomery. where he held conference with the governor, who had been under misapprehension as to the purports of the commission and the fund appro- priated by the last legislature. Dr. AL Ian says that 1t is improbable that the money appropriated by the state will be turned loose by the present administra- tion. but that he hopes to get 5000 of the fund, which will be at the discretion of the governor. Dr. Thomas M. Owens of the department of archives and history will be exofflcio secretary of the pro- posed commission.
 Mrs. Leigh, who will solicit funds for the Forney monument at Vicksburg, Is state historian of the United Daughters Of the Confederacy and is spoken of as one of the ablest women orators in the state.
 That the success of the movement to erect monument to the memory of Harry Shiretzki, Anniston's martyred chief of police, or else purchase memo rial home for the dependents of all of fcers who fall in the discharge of their duty, is assured has been made evident by the fact that the committee has al- ready raised $l,5s5.5O for the project.
 From all over the Anniston district, from Jacksonville, Piedmont, Talledega, Weaver, Oxford and other places voluntary contributions have been coming in during the past week. Even citizens of Birmingham who appreciated the services of the fallen chief have con- tributed to the fund, and the committee has not yet made thorough canvass

TO STOP SUMMER BASEBALL
Says College Athletes VIII Risk
Their Amateur Standing.

James e. Sullivan. secretary-treasur-
er of the A. A. U. and president of the
rules committee of the International
Amateur Athletic federation, advises
those college baseball captains who
are again trying to make it possible
for an undergraduate to play summer
baseball without the risk of losing his
amateur status to direct their energies
into more profitable channels. for they
are wishing for something that they
will never, never get.
For 81 years / have been fighting
to keep amateur and professional sport
strictly apart" said Mr.. Sullivan re-
Gently, land / must admit that it is
somewhat discouraging to learn that
so many college men should still be in
favor Of allowing undergraduates to
earn money during the summer by
working as professional ball players.
There Is no such thing as summer
baseball. What these young men call
summer baseball is nothing more or
less than professional ball.
81 note that Bernard X. Rhoades, the
Princeton captain states that he can
not see why a man whose talent runs
to baseball should not help himself
through college by using that talent
Just as we'll as man whose abilities
are more scholastic and who earns
money by tutoring.
II remember, when this point was
raised some four years ago at Harvard,
that somebody wrote to the Harvard

CANADA WINNING
CHAMPIONSHIPS
IN AGRICULTURE
The Latest Is Winning Cham
pionship for Oats a Third
Time.

Recently was published the fact OF
winnings by Canadian
farmers in several events during the
past three or four years. The latest
is that of Messrs. J. c. Hill & Sons
of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, who
won in a hard contest for the oat
championship over Montana. At the
National Corn Exposition at Dallas
during February, Montana oats were
awarded the championship for the
United States. Waiting for the win
ner of this to be announced was a
peck of oats belonging to the Ca
madam growers above mentioned, and
alongside of these was a like quantity
belonging to Minnesota grower, who
was barred from the regular compe-
tition because he was at one time the
winner of the trophy-the prize. The
three entries were side by side on the
judges bench. 1t would not be pos
sible to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were of equal
weight-50 pounds to the bushel. The
Minnesota sample was some three
pounds lighter. The award was
unanimous In favor of the Saskatche-
wan oats. A remarkable feature and
one greatly to the credit Of the Ca
madam product was that the oats,
grown in 1913; were grown and shown
by those who had competed during
the past two years, winning on each
occasion. This, the third winning,
gave them for the third time the
worlds championship and full posses
sion of the splendid $1,000 silver
trophy contributed by the state Of
Colorado.
The oats which have thus given to
Western Canada another splendid ad-
vertising card, were grown 800 miles
north of the international boundary
line, proving that In this latitude, all
the smaller grains can be grown with
greater perfection and with more
abundant yield than further south. In
all this country are to be found farm
ers who produce oats running from
a. to 48 pounds to the bushel, and
with yields Of from 60 to 100 bush
els per acre. Wheat also does well,
grades high, and Yields from 80 to 40
bushels per acre. The same may be
said Of any portion of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, famed
over the world not only as a country
where championship grains are grown,
but where cattle and horses are raised
that also carry off championships and
where wild grasses are abundant
yielders, cultivated hay and alfalfa
are grown, thus giving plenty of feed,
and with good climate, sufficient
shelter and plenty Of water, bring
about results such as western Canada
has been able to record. Thousands
Of farmers from the United States
who have their homes in Canada bear
ample testimony to the benefits they
have derived from farming in west
ern Canada.-Advertisem
