The PhiIs are battling manfulIy,

pitching of Alexander. Stallings has
his team playing better ball than at
any time this season and it is adj
vancing steadily. HerzOg has brought
ginger and ability to the Giants, but
Buck can't pitch like a Mattly of old,
and that is what MCGraw needs.
Our own hopes have threatened
several times, but on each occasion
fall short. The pitchers have natural
ability, but with Archer out of the
game do not get the catching assis-
lance necessary to make them con-
sistent winners.
The other three teams of the
league help make it an eight-club

In their swing through the east the

their showing against the three

back our hopes, winning three extra
inning battles.
On the trip the most scintiIlating
work was the pitching of Russell and
Williams, the sOuthpaws. Claude
licked Boston and was beaten by
Washington, when he should have
won. Russell pitched three games on
his own hook and was a relief pitcher
in all the others where assistance
was required. He worked in three
Washington games in four days and

Well Known orchardist Received An

81 have found" said Isaiah G. Muir
ply, the well known orchardist this
morning, that nothing pays like quail
ity in fruit. My experienc as grower
of peaches and apples and other fruit
has shown that the public will pay for
quality above everything else. 1t is
better to have a small orchard and
grow only the best Of fruit, the fancy
sort than to have larger orchard and
grow Just the ordinary average kind.
"For example / have had twenty
FIVE peach trees this summer from
which l have sold more than $125
worth Of fruit, or an average Of more
than SIS per tree. l am sure that,
owing to the increased rains not less
than $50 worth Of fruit rotted and fell
off the trees. These peaches were OF
extra sixe and unusual flavor and they
all sold readily at So per buhsel. Even
had peaches been very plentiful these
would assuredly have sold for twice
the average paid in the market.
"It is pretty we'll the same way with
apples. We had car load this year
of the Early harvests that netted US
$1.28 bushel. Experience is valua-
BILE factor in the making Of an orchard.
For example, with my experience OF
the past dozen years, l could plant an
orchard that ten years from now
would be much more valuable than
that now own"

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 5.-That
the constitutional convention has been
called in Tennes see becomes more and
more apparent as belated returns
come in. Fifty-three counties give the
convention lead of 10000 votes. The
forty-three counties from which re-
turns have not been received are dis
tributed all over the state and unoffi-
cially it is known that many Of them
gave the convention a majority. It Is
estimated that the proposition will
have not less than 10000 majority.
If the convention is called. that fact
will be formally proclaimed to the
people of the state in a proclamation
to be issued by Gov. Rye. The act
provides that at the regular Novem.
Der election the delegates to the con-
vention are to be elected. The same
number of delegates are to be elected
that there are members of the house
of representatives. Maury county
would elect two members. The mem
bers will receive IS per day while the
convention is in session.
In the Eighth congressional district,
Thetus W. Sims has been nominated
for the eleventh term by not less than
1,400, according to complete returns
from every county carefully compiled
here. Padgett's majority in the Sew
enth district continues to grow. II
will be over rather than less than 1000
and Garrett defeated Senter by about
that majority in the Ninth. Houston
has a safe lead over Davis in the Fifth.

FIREMEN Save The

MADE COTTON FIRE LIGHT LOSS
GALL AT NEAR MIDNIGHT.

Twelve bales Of cotton were par
tally destroyed in a fire which broke
out about II O'Clock Wednesday night
in the warehouse of H. c. Wheeler &
Dickson. Only one bale was totally
destroyed. The loss is estimated at
between $3.50 and $500, covered by in
surance.
1t is thought by the warehousemen
that the bale which was destroyed
was on fire on the inside when ii came
from the gin. 1t is not thought prob
able that 1t could have originated from
any ether source. Parties passing the
warehouse discovered the smoke com
ing from the warehouse and smelled
the burning cotton. The alarm was
turned IN Immediately and the fire de-
parmeut was on the scene IN five
minutes. A spirited fight saved the
building and other valuable stock. 1t

The Fitzgerald Leader-Enterprise
has this to say in an editorial:
In view of the elevation of Judge
Walter George to the court Of appeals,
a vacancy will be made in the COrdele
circuit of which Ben Hill is part. We
believe Fitzgerald should receive the
iudgship now. as Cordele has had
Judge Whipple. and Vienna Judge
George. We understand that there
are already several aspirants to the
position in the field, asking for en-
dorsement, as the vacancy will in all
likelihood be filled by Governor Har-
ris within a short time.
The Leader-Enterpris would like to
see the position filled by man whose
experience in law is well known, his
integrity unimpeachable and his char
acter above reproach, and we think
Fitzgerald has just such man in the
person of A J. Mcdonald, From a
financial standpoint we recognize it
would be a sacrifice on. the part OF Mr..
Mcdonald to accept place on the Su-
perior Court bench, as the salary at
tached is only 5000 year, out OF
which he has to pay all Of his personal
expenses, railroad fare and hotel bills
when on the circuit. Superior Court
Judges are also prohibited from prac-
ticing law in any of the courts, so
hat this paltry $4,000 constitutes the
entire income for the judge for year.
But life is made up Of sacrifices and
we would like to see Mr.. Mcdonald
accept this position in the interest OF
