$4,000 IS PROPHECY

JACKSON, Miss, July 26. (spl.)-
That Oscar q. Johnston, candidate for
governor, will get fully $4,000 votes in
the primary next Friday, lead the tier
ct by more than Is, 0e0, and probably
win in the first round. liz the confident
claim issued today from the Johnston
ca tnpaign headquarters.
The statement IL oil much more than
passing interest because IL is the first
prediction that has been issued from
Johnston headquarters concerning the
outcome OF the contest, ana the cam
paign managers oil. the Coahoma county
soldier statesman have heretofore been
very. conservative In all of their state
ments.
That Johnston has gained more rap
idly during the past 30 days than any
other candidate IN the race for gov
error is generally conceded by astute
political observers, and IL frankly adj
mitted by the followers Of some Of the
other ~aspifants for that office, although
they are still hopeful In behalf Of their
favorites.
The Johnston forecast Of the result h
based on carefully complied reports from
all counties In the state, prepared by
men who were Requested to state plain
facts regarding the situation.

The baseball game between
Rosedale aud Cleveland Thursday
was hard fought battle from start
to finish, being nip and tuck from
the beginning of the 1st inning until
our boys scored the winning run in
the last half Of the ninth.
Cleveland scored one run in the
1st inning. and for two or three
minutes 1t looked liked the Cleve-
land hackers might put up a little
money even on the game. Up to
that time they had been asking for
odds and they would not bet even
with the one run margin.
When Rosedale came to bat In
the 1st inning they knocked the
ball sll over the lot and scored three
runs on the hom: run drive Of
Davis, our center fielder.
After the 1st each team drew

Cleveland made another run. max
ing it three to two. Then in the
7th inning one Of the Cleveland
players Lost the ball" for a home
run with two men ahead Of him and
the score stood five to thi ee in favor
of Cleveland. At this stage Of the
game it is likely that the Rosedale
bettors could have picked up some
even money. bu, they did not want
