NOTES OF THE GAME.

Carrollton tried to steal two bases
early in the game, but Butter made
such perfect pegs to second and
caught the runners so far from the
base that that ended the base steal
ing for he boys down the way.
The people wanted to see
Roberts, of New Orleans, work. He
is the premier SALESMAN for that
strong aggregation and has made
a wonderful record in big company,
so wonderful that he has been pur-
chased, so it is said, for Detroit next
season at a consideration so high
that we are afraid to quote the fig
ures here The best part of it is that
he is Lowndes county boy.
Some of our Carrollton friends be-
came sore at The Dispatch for the
write up of the game in Wednesdays
paper. A little fun and railery is a
part of baseball on the part of papers
representing their respective COM
munities and it should not engender
feeling between people between whom
there has been for generations the
kindliest feelings and intercourse.

into the hats on the pass round was
50 large that the aggregate receipts
from the game did not total over a
hundred dollars and the people got to
see a dollar exhibition in any league.
This kind of baseball can't be played
on ten cent and penny contributions.

scoring for Columbus.
Carrollton came very near tieing
1T up in her half of the ninth. Kill
patrick hit hot line drive to Wells,
who dropped it. McKinstry drove
another fly to Wells, who threw Kill
patrick out at first. Jones hit safely
and SO did Williams. Jones scored,
and in the throw-in to the plate the
throw went wild and hit the back
stop. Under the ground rules Will
liams, who had reached second, was
entitled to take third on the passed
ball, but he ran in home and was
caught at the plate and this ended
the game. The ruling of Umpire
Divelbiss was vigorously protested by
the Carrollton players. A great
crowd gathered on the field and it
looked squally for awhile, but peace
finally prevailed. The score:

The Letter in Question.

The following is the letter written
by Gov. Bilbo to Hon. o. F. Law
renee, containing the alleged state
ment that he was an applicant for
the Presidency:
July 9th, 1919.
Hon. o. F. Lawrence,
Grenada, Miss.
My Dear Mr.. Lawrence:
| am enclosing letter, and my re-
ply, which are self-explanatory.
Please take time enough from your
campaign to elect Oscar Johnston
governor and give this matter at
tention and, in this Wy, help earn
your $4,000 per month that you have
been grating out of the State for
twelve years.

by the name of Ross Collins and
want you, out of consideration of my
support for you in III race for the
Senate, to publish this on the front
page of your paper. If you don't dc
it you are a d. ingrate-worse than
Ross Collins.
Assuring you of my undying love
and affection, am,

BILBo REPLIES AGAIN.

To The People of Mississippi:
For the third time | want to de-
nounce the infamous lie that is being
circulated by the Johnston Campaign
Committee, and some of his unscru-
'pulous followers, that /, Bilbo, ever
entertained, or any of my friends for
me, the idea or suggestion that
wanted to be President of the l. l. &
C. | am lawyer and farmer by pro-
fession and would not have the job
at any price. 1t is a dirty campaign
lie suggested by one Walter Dent IN
the Attorney Generals office and an
'nounced on the stump by Ross Col
Inns, all for the purpose of hurting
Governor Russell
A new chapter has been added to
this lie, with the publication of a re-
port that | wrote one o. F. Lawrence,
of Grenada, Miss, soliciting his vote
for this position. There is not word
of truth in this report and Johnston
and his friends know that there is not.
Isn't it strange that l would try to
get Lawrence to vote for me for
this position when every voter in
Mississippi knows him to be one of
my worst political enemies? Why
should | write him when majority
of the Board of Trustees are my
friends and appointees l did write
him a letter on the 9th. of July, a
few days before the election, in which
| announced to him that was issuing
a statement, or interview, on Ross
Collins, this being the first state
ment, that | gave out, denouneing
this |. |. & c. lie which Collins had
been telling on the stump for many
weeks. The suggestion, or PROPOSE
ton, that l would want, or have, the
Presidency, of the |. |. & c. was so
ridiculous and absurd that, as joke,
and piece of pleasantly, added this
postscript to the Lawrence letter;
"Are you going to vote for me as
President of the |. |. & CT" | will
be an applicant for the position if
Russell is NOT elected.
dare Mr. Lawrence, who has
shown himself not to be ethical, by
giving publicity to this correspon-
'denee, to publish my letters to him
of July 9Th and August 18th. This
whele l. l. & c., business is the
dirtiest piece of politics that | have
seen in many day. would be fool
and an idiot to give out an interview
that the report that wanted to be
the President of the l. l. & c., was
lie and on the same day write a
letter to my worst enemy, asking him
to vote for me. What would Oscar
Johnston and his friends say if Rus
sell and his friends were dirty enough
