Now Ghouls and demons and devilish |
spirits,
Hold high carnival of darkest nights,
On the old mill yard they gloat at the
spoils
Of destruction wrought by their Wis
ions to its
Destruction's 8 secure of the old flood
gate,
Dismanted the mill and sealed its sad
fate.
So we call on all our clan of science
of evil.
To help now complete the work of the
devil.
The grim old owl opens his pewter
plate eyes,
Considers the scheme and looks very
wise.
Says tbs dart of my constitution
To oppose the doctrine of evolution.

and light,
Turned the light of day into darkest
night.
Shut my eyes while innocents are

In darkness keep alert my victims to

So agents of evil like the l. w. WIS,
Are opposed to all law for the good
of our fellows.
We have learned a new bridge is now
to be built.
On the same old plan on a poor wooden
stilt,
So now we combine all one impious
scheme,
To destroy the new bridge, defeat all
other means,
OF restoration and reconstruction,
And complete the work of general de-

Of auto trucks and automobiles,
Shake the frame and loosen the joints,
At all the delicately framed points.

And infect this community with deadly

By spreading them around on the sum.

Cotton Ginning Price
 Is Fixed at $3.5O Bale

Montgomery, August 2o.-(special) After securing expressions from cotton producers and sinners throughout the state. the purpose of which was to se- cure expressions from all interests in- volved as to what would be fair and reasonable price for ginning for the cur rent season. Federal Food Administrator R. NJ. Hobbie today made the following announcement:
 "A uniform charge of $3.50 per bale of s00 pounds, or less, of line cotton is nereoy established for ginning service in Alabama Tor the 1918 season. A charge Of 70 cents per 100 pounds of lint cotton for excess weight above 5CO pounds to 6Oo pounds and 50 cents per 100 pounds on all weight in excess of 6O0 pounds is al- lowed. Ginners afe requested to furnish Daggins and ties to the farmer at cost, but In no case are sinners allowed to charge an excess of 10 per cent profit over cost of bassing and ties. The farm CTS may furnish his own bagging and ties. if he desires. and the ginners shall make no charge for puttine it on.
 Tt is the desire of the food adminis- tration that cotton bales should be stan- dardized at as near 800 pounds as pes sible in roder to conserve bagging and ties. transportation and labor In han ding. It is also desirable to avoid tAe danger to ginning machinery caused by pressing bales of excessive weight, there- fore the above price of 90 cents per 1OO pounds of lint cotton for excess weight above coo pounds Is fixed

Among the Bleacherites Fair Hits and Foul Chatter Carnered From the National
 Pastime

Lo! the poor Indian He finally man. aged to scalp those Bean-eaters, but three full games still rest between him and the top. Lee Fohl and his Cleve- land bunch have made a valiant fight for the gonfaIon this year, ard every body was pulling for 'em to get over. but they couldn't quite develop the necessary punch. It reminds us of the way in which the small boy described a certain conflagration when he said, "The firemen fit nobly and the house ssurned down." Had Babe" Ruth been drafted in May the Indians would now be preparing for the worlds series.
 Dick Jemison, Atlanta sport scribe, is in receipt of letter from Billy Miske's manager. begging him to arrange a bout between Dempsey and Miske for the first week in September. Miske is anx- ious to fight in Atlanta, and declares that he is willing to lay thick bank roll on the outcome. Dempsey, who was willing to fight anybody for a few dollars short while ago, is now stall- ing around like all champions, and spurns any offer to appear for less than $10,000.
 Major league players who are not in the draft age may sue club offi- cials for salaries due after Labor Day, according to reports from the east About, 50 such men hold iron-clad con- tracts calling for stipend covering, in some cases, several years work and they will very probably insist on pay ment in full. Over $100,000 is involved and bitter fight between magnate and player is in prospect.
 Burleigh Grimes broke Ciacinnati's winning streak yesterday, after it had reached eight games. Burleigh Jet the hard-hitting Reds down with one run and four hits. He has now won 15 games as against eight lost, which is some record for Brooklyn hurler.
 Pittsburg beat the stuffin' out of the Giants on their last appearance in the Smoky City. Mayer held McGraw's men helpless throughout. while his teammates pounded Bob Steele for eight runs.
 Perry McGillivray, who will appear here Saturday in the national swim ming meet at East Lake, is now teach ing naval recruits how to swim. Me- Gillivray recently broke his own world s record for the 220-yard swim by doing it in ? minute 21 seconds.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES ;. coRnErT.

A sixteenth from home it looked as if the winner would be either Lord of Vale, carrying the Belmont colors, or Dazzling, sporting the Keene silks. Both were run ming nose and nose and setting whlcl- wind clip. But of a sudden Lyme began to ride Sayable from his third position. about three lengths back of the leading pair, and the Gates colt responded with burst of speed that set the crowd w,it with excitement.
 On and on came Savable, taking two jumps to one of the leaders. Thirty yards from home Dazzling was forced to drop back because of the terrific pace set by Lord of Vale. In flash, Sava- ble had passed the lilly and was racing at cyclonic sreed to beat the Belmont colt to the wire. Ten yards from home Lord of Vale still lead--by neck.
 Another jump and they were nose and nose. Another mighty jump and Savab.e had crossed the finish line winner in one of the most spectacular races escs run in the historic Futurity.
 And Drake and Gates collected a for- tune.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. August 30-Light scattered showers were reported by the govern ment in eastern Texas, which led to heavy liquidation during the morning. but when the official details were received they were so scattered as to bring about demand which advanced prices to tnvae of last evening. The advance of the past three weeks has eliminated the bearish sentiment due to the favorable crop re- ports of June and July. It has not as yet affected the American spinners who look forward to the pressure to market the crop as the time to buy as they ex- pect the government will regulate the price of their goods.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

Maior League MoguLs Plan Big Series

The s75.0p0 betting coup which Com.
 mander J. K. l.. Ross, the Canadian
 sportsman. is reported to have put over
 at the Saratoga track few days ago
 sizes np as one of the biggest of recent
 years But it's a "piker' proposition m
 comparison with the clean-ups of the
 other days of the turf game.
 The Ross killing is said to have been
 made through the medium of Canso. The
 wealthy Cara dian, who owns Cudgei,
 Billy Kelly and other turf stars, figured
 the Caaso as ''in." So about s5o,00o was
 wagered on his chances at odds that
 ranged dowN from to s to 6 to 5. It
 was huge winning for the generation. But some ot those made in the days of
 Drake, oi keene, of Gates and the others
 dwarfed 1t.
 Undoubtedly the greatest cleanup in the history Of the turf was that by John
 A. Drake, when Savable captured the Flu turity of 1902 Drake won close to s300,000 himself, ard John w. Gates and a few others who were on the inside" and trailed with Savable, won approximately $25000
 It was perhaps the saddest day that the bookmak.ng fraternity ever hes known.
 Savable, owned by Drake, was sired by
 the mighty Salvador, holder of the
 worlds record for one mile Through
 the early part of the season of 1902 Sava- ble hadn't sLown much--in public. But in private trials, shrouded with the ut
 most secrecy, he exhibited flights of speed that were nothing short of marve- 1 lous.
 | All during the summer Savable was | kept under wraps and when time came 1 for the Euturity, which brought together
