they were apt to crack and bleed. Two
physicians both relatives of ours had
prescribed for them, and we had followed
directions without success. We were in

A Score of IL to 10 in the Inter-City
Ball Game.

Waycross, Ga, July 25.-Valdosta and
Waycross played a match game here this
afternoon. Valdosta won by score of Il
to 10. The game was against Waycross
from the first, and only improved at the
seventh inning. when the score was nine
to five in Valdostas favor. Seasons, the
Waycross pitcher. was succeeded at the
seventh inning by Mcneil. This change
aided Waycross. Wright did excellent
work for the home team in left field and
at the bat. Mcneil and Sheldon were the
other Waycross players that deserve
mention. Chandler Reynolds umpired
with characteristic impartiality. The
Waycross club has lost the last three
games, in which it has participated. two
of them being won by Thomasville.
The bicycle contests resulted as follows:
Quarter mile race for Waycross cham

They Took the Stump for Bryan In tho

WASHINGTON, Nov 6.-Secretary Car
Isle has removed from office Thomas F.
Brantley, of South Carolina, chief of the
army and navy division third auditor 8
office, and Burton T. Doyle, of Tennessee
assistant chief Of the warrant division Of
the secretary's Office, treasury department,
Each of these gentlemen has been on the
stump for Bryan and free silver.
The treasury officials decline to make
public their reasons for the dismissal of
Messrs. Fleming, Doyle, Ryan, Adams
and Brantley. All of them took an active
part in the campaign in advocating the
election of Mr.. Bryan, but there is reason
to believe that this fact alone was not re-
sponsible for their leaving the service. 1t
is stated that the dismissal of one or more
of them was under discussion several
months ago for reasons entirely apart
from politics, and that tho action just
taken was regarded by tho secretary as for
tho good Of the service. 1t Is also stated
that the secretary has no intention of re-
moving clerks simply because of their free
silver views or because they voted for Mr..
Bryan. These are rights which Mr.. Car
Isle fully respects, but he insists that
when the clerks carry their political &C.
tivity to the point of going on the stump.
and at the least openly identifying them
selves with others who viciously condemn
the public acts Of the president and him
self 1t is cause for removal.
