Although the score was a little one
sided It was hard to tell who did the
best work in the field. Both teams field
ed far better than has been seen I'm the
Mount Pleasant grounds for some time
past. but as on the day before the
Methodists' inability to hit the ball at
times when 1t was needed was in evil
dence. Several times there were men on
bases and hit would have meant a run
and possibly two. but at these stages
the Mount Pleasant boys failed to con-
meet with Donaldson's delivery

The Fourth boys. on the contrary,
found Wahler's delivery easily and
banged him over the field for thirteen
hits. many OF which were made in the

The MethOdists showed a stronger
team than they have had for some time
and with a little batting would have
made IL warm for the Fourths. AS II
was, both teams were on their toes from
the start and the enthusiasm OF the
crowd broke forth in hard. strenuous
yelling.
Several times 1t looked as though the
Methodists were going to rally, and at
such times the grandstand stood up.

COPPER IN GEORGIA

II is a fact not generally known 10
Georgians that copper minerals have
been found in greater or less quantity
in a number OF localities in this state.
A recently issued bulletin OF the Unit

paper by Walter Harvey Weed in which
he gives some interesting details rela-
tive TO these discoveries. He says that
about thirty years ago several deposits
of pyrrhotite carrying chalcopyrita We're
worked in the southern extension OF the
Ducktown copper belt. which is Just
across the Tennessee line. Upon tho
exhaustion OF the rich black suIphide
and oxide ores these Georgia proper
