of the cigarette habit. In the end
there is contracted chest, hollow
cough, sunken eye, a palli cheek, a
long doctors bin, funeral, a newly
made grave, an obituary of less than a
hundred words and the chapter ends
and the undertaken is ready for
another job.
This article, already too long, is
written in love, hoping that it may
prove helpful to some young men, who
may be drifting away under the influ-
ence of some ruinous habit. The bus
mess of Christianity is to seek after
those who have wandered away into
forbidden paths, take them to its warm
embrace and nurse them back to life
again. There are many young men
today who are out on the cold bleak
mountains of sin, from whose cheeks
the bloom Of youth has not faded, who
might be reclaimed if the proper steps
we're taken.
Yours in love,
The leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1895-1905, 1901-02-27

The South Carolina College and
the S. C. C. I. baseball teams cross
ed bats on the diamond of the lat
ter, Thursday afternoon. The
Carolina nine was compos ed of h.
Fl. WitheEs Captain; Cogburn,
1st base; O'Byan, End base; Eel
der, 3rd base; Sharpe, right field /;
Davis left field; J. B. Withers,
centre field; Gilland, pitcher
Waddell, catcher. The S c. c. l.
nine was composed of S. W. Will
liams, Capt; Paul Cogburn, lst
base; Joe Holland, End base; B..
T. Cato, Ord base; G. Miller, short
stop; F. S. Faust, right lield; l..
H. Webb left field; B. Miller CEN
tire field; L. B. Merritt pitcher;
A. G.. Quattlebaum catcher. The
South Carolina College team en-
Joys the distinction of being the
strongest IN the state, and some
predicted that they would have a
walk over in the contest with our
boys, as had been the result of
their meet with the Kings Noun
tain cadets and others. But not
so; on the contrary it was "Greek
meets Greek" The remarks, "we
didn't know you had such a team
over here" from one of the Co.
lumbia boys showed that they did
not have such a picnic of it as
they expected. The game through
out was exciting aud thrilling, re-
minding the on-lookers of the fa-
nous chariot race, SO graphically
depicted by Gen. Wallace. Al
though the score etood 8 to 10 in
favor of the Carolina team, we
congratulate the S. G. G.. 1. boys
upon the highly creditable man
ner in which they played, the odds
against them being much greater
than the difference in the score,
the Carolina team having had sew
eral years actual experience in
contests, while the S. G. c. l. team
has been organized only a few
months.
