BILLIES AND HATTIES
AGAIN TIE FOR
LEAD
Vicksburg, Miss., May 17.—Vicks-1
burg batted out a hard victory from j
Hattiesburg yesterday, which again j
made these two teams tied for first
honors. Randall started in with vig
for the locals and held his own
until the sixth, when he was in a tight
place with men on bases and one out.
He was relieved by Comstock. Kuhn,
four times up, got four hits, including
a home run over the ''bull sign," which
the batting feature of the game.
The visitors played hard and twice
had three men on bases with one out
but Vicksburg's pitcher pulled out
with strikeouts. Chastant, the new
man put in Vann's place at short,
showed up well in the batting column,
but was a little weak at handling
grounders.

KING ALFONSO
IS THREATENED
Young Ruler Having to Contend With
Bombs of Anarchists and Germs
of Tuberculosis.
(By Union Associated Press.)
Madrid, May 17.—Threatened by
the boms of anarchists and the germs
of tuberculosis, a target for fires on
both of the clericals and anti-clericals,
his throne tottering from the assaults
of the rapidly-growing Republican par
ty, haunted by the ghost of Ferrer, his
eldest son mentally defective and his
second son almost a dumb mut
these are but a part of the troubles
that beset Alfonso, the boy king of
Spain, on his twenty-fifth birthday.
Messages of congratulation—although
expressions of sympathy were more in
order—were received by the youthful
monarch today from all brother rulers
of Europe.
While efforts have been made to
keep the condition of Alfonso a se
cret, the Intransigeant asserts au
thoritatively that the king is seriously
ill from tuberculosis and that his phy
sicians have decided that he must re
ceive rigorous treatment if his life is
to be prlonged. it is understood that
lie will have to spend next winter in
Switzerland, as ti.e climate of Spain
during the winter months aggravates
his complaint.
Alfonso XIII was born May 17, 1886,
nearly six months after the death of
his father, Alfonso XII. He has never
enjoyed good health, and his father
was a semi-invalid. Specialists have
recently performed several operations
on the king's nose and throat for
growths described as tuberculosis. It
is alleged that the young Crown
Prince is below the average of intelli
gence for children of his age. Prince
Jaime, the second son of the king and
queen, who will be three years old
next month, will he taken to Switzer
land by Queen Victoria about the
end of June to undergo an operatiop
to correct a difficulty of speech. II
the operation fails, it is alleged tha!
the prince will be dumb for life.
Personally, Alfonso is popular even

Jacksoo, Miss., May 17.—The days
of heavy verdicts against railroads in

ship of about a hundred girls. This
organization has planted several
acres to tomatoes and cucumbers and
has already had several lectures by

safe at the little town of Lake, Miss.,
several months ago, are today on
their way to Atlanta, where they will

QULIFICATI0N3
OF STATE VOTERS
at
Commissioners of Each Election Dis
trict Will in Future Have to Answer
Inquiries on Subject.
Jackson, Miss., May 17.—The re
peated inquiries from all parts of the
state regarding the qualifications of
voters during the coming primaries
has resulted in the taking of action
on the part of Attorney General Hud
son's office that was only to be ex
pected. Hereafter all inquiries will
not be subjected to rigid examina
tions by Assistant Attorney General
Carl Fox, but will be referred to the
election commissioners of the dis
tricts from which the- queries come.
a
"We get hundreds and hundreds of
queries, all alike in their general na
ture, and while we ran tell them what !
the law says regarding elections, ,we I
cannot determine whether they have |
stated the facts in the cases properly.
We have therefore decided to let the
commissioners of each election dis
trict investigate these matters and
determine who shall be permitted to
vote, after having been properly in
structed in the meaning of the proper
qualifications of voters.'•
One of the most serious problems
that has confronted the attorney gen
eral's office is that of changes in resi
dence of the voters, and the election
commissioners are the only persons
who can properly inquire into whether
this change, in every individual case,
is to be permanent or temporarily.

A HARMLESS WAY TO
DARKEN THE HAIR
A Little Sage and Sulphur Makes Gray
Hair Vanish—A Remedy for
All Hair Troubles.
Who does not know the value of j
sage and sulphur for keeping the hair i
dark, soft, glossy and in good condi- j
tion? As a matter of fact, sulphur
is a natural element of hair, and a de- 1
ftciency of it in the hair is held by (
many scalp specialists to be connect- j
ed with loss of color and vitality of j
the hair. Unquestionably, there is ho j
better remedy for hair and scalp trou- j
hies, especially premature grayness,
than sage and sulphur, if properly
prepared. The Wyeth Chemical Com
pany of New York put up an ideal
remedy of this kind, called Weyth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, and
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re
funded if it fails to do exactly as rep
resented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by The Owl
Drug Store.
