BALTIMORE INFIELDER BRINGS RECORD PRICE New York, August 9. —Manager Frank Chance, of the New York Amer ican league club, announced yester day that the deal with the Baltimore club of the International league, for the services of Ed Maisel had been completed. The Orioles’ star infielder comes to the Yankees in exchange for Bert Daniels, Isaiah Midkiff and $12,000 in cash. Maisel will report to Chance in this city today. Maisel, who is considered one of the star infielders of the International league, has been in great demand among major league clubs this season. The Chicago Americans, Boston Na tionals and New York Americans have all been bidding for him, and it was not untid Friday that Chance and Manager Dunn, of the Baltimore cluo finally came to terms. The new Yankee plays shortstop or third base equally well. During the 1912 season Maisel batted ,276 in 129 games, fielded .921 in 138 games, as shortstop, and .927 i;i 22 games at third base. Maisel is con sidered a coming star and a player who will solve the infield problem which has been worrying Manager Chance. In giving Baltimore $2,000 cash in addition to Daniels and Midkiff (worth perhaps $5,000 more) the local clur> deal takes rank with the history-mak ing trades of baseball, including those that brought Larry Chappelle to the White Sox; Rube Marquard to the Giants, and Marty O’Toole to Pitts burg. She —These reporters are so care less. This paper says I have been “for ; years one of the handsomest women i in society.” He—Well, my dear; what is the ob jection to that? She—Why, I never said anything about “for years.”—Puck. To All Farmers, Ginners and Others Who Handle Cotton in Sumter County and Vicinity We, the Cotton Waiehousemen of Americus feel that it is to our mutual in terest for us to call your attention to certain rules which will be put in force this coming cotton season by all the Steamship Companies in this Coumry carrying cotton to Europe, which will prove oi great loss to the farmers unless complied with. . First is the size o! the bale It must not be packed in a Press Box larger than 27x54 inches. Any. larger size than this will be penalized SI.OO per bale A bale of smaller size will not be affected. If your box is larger than this size, it will pay you to have it reduced at once as otherwise we will be forced to make notation of it on your cotton receipt and this deduction made when the cotton is sold. Second is the question of bagging Unless a good quality of new bagging is used and the bale is well covered, using not over six yards of bagging to the bale, and the ends well sewed, a note of this will have to be made on the receipt and a deduction made or else be put in good order before it can be sold. No second hand bagging or sugar cloth can be used this year and the bale must be put up in better condilion than heretofore. Third is the weight of the bale 1 here is a penalty of Fifty Cents per bale for any bale 'weighing under 400 pounds and not less than 300 pounds. These new 7 rules may seem a hardship to you, but when we see that the Government experts say that Fifty Million Dollars is lost annually on account of the present careless way in which cottor>is baled and the rough handling in loading in ships caused by the ir regular sizes of the bales, it certainly is to our interest to seq that it is more carefully looked after. There are other strict rules to be enforced but none of them affect the farmer unless it is the one on wet cotton. This must be much more carefully looked after and the cotton kept out of the rain and mud. The most important one for the farmer is the size of the box and we ask* that you work with us in trying to have them all changed to this standard size. Texas has a law compelling them all to be made one size, why not Georgia? Yours Very Truly, L. G. COUNCIL, GEORGE OLIVER, E. C. PARKER, HARROLD BROS.
