to the seeds of destruction sown
by parents or by false educational
systems.
In many of these cases we find
the old, old story of trying to get
something for nothing. One of
the so-called Southern leaders,
living in New York, two or three
years ago sought to interest a
distinguished North Carolinian
in the pauperizing work of Og-
denism. and finally as a last eff
fort said: Surely you are will
ing for the South to get some
thing which costs it nothing. "
That spirit that creates a desire
in an individual or in a people to
get something for nothing is a
cursewherever developed, whetk-
er in an individual or in a COM
munity, by the side of which the
curse of the desperate poverty
of 1865 would be a glorious bless
ing. The latter was physical
and mental suffering, but it did
not mean the destruction of man.

Wanted, Men Who Can do Things.


Scarcely a day passes that the
Manufacturers Record does not
hear some story of men wanted,
men who can do things, men who
are not failures. but who are able
by their own indicative and own
ability to manage some business
undertaking or some department
of business. Everywhere, in
every direction, in every bust
nessoffice, as well as in every fac
tory, there is the same complaint
of the lack of people. All the
way. from the Office boy up
through every stage of help to
the managers of various depart
ments there comes the same cry.
1t is voiced in a letter from a
manufacturing company in the
South, which expresses the con-
dition existing in thousands of
other concerns. Writing to the
Manufacturers Record apparent
ly somewhat in desperation in
their desire to find a man who
can manage an enterprise, this
company says:
IF you canrenderus any assis-
lance, after reading this letter,
either by advertisement or other
wise, we would beglad too pay
the bill.
We have a we'll equipped plant
for the manufacture of material
as shown on this letterhead, but
from never having the proper
management, has never paid.
"Our reputation forgetting out
the best work is to widespread,
causing US to have to turn down
three-fourths of the orders Of
fered. There seems to be NO
limit to the price that can be had
for this class of work. We can
buy lumber here as cheaply as
anywhere. We have paid-ir
capital of S22, 900, enough to car
ny on the business, but more
could be used to advantage,
There seems nothing in the way
except that it needs the proper
management. Eight months age

Later we picked the best one, a!

tise again for a superintendent
as we have had our share of ex
perience. We want a competent
man that has made a success o.
this kind of business and is will
ing to back his claim that he cal
make this pay by putting hi
money in with US say $1,000 o.
$4,000. A man whose compe.

MAINE LEAGUE STANDING.

The Augusta baseball team has ceased
to exist as an organization and has with
drawn from the Maine State League, and
az "A result thereof Augusta will see no
more baseball this season. This action
was taken at a meeting of the Augusta
Baseball Association which was held at
the Athletic Club room last evening.
The association had managed the club
since 1t was left in the lurch about two
weeks age by Manager Wreath, and had
hoped to carry 1t Through the season or
until the money due the players from
Wreath could be made up; but owing to
Door support the game was a losing one
and at the close of the past week 1t was
decided that further effort in that line
was useless and the end came last night
1t is a matter of regret to the faithful
ones who nave attended the games since
the season opened in May and who enjoy
this cleanest of American sports that the
game could not be continued through the
season, hut it is necessary TO have the
gate receipts equal the expenses in order
TO make the game n success, and this
they failed to do There could be but one
result dnC li.dI RESULT IL HOW apparent.
Augusta may see baseball another sea-
son and probably will. but it will be of
the nature of Trolley League. and there
will be no Wreaths connected with it.
But although Augusta is out of the
league and the team has been disbanded,
those who have supported the team in its
uphill and discOuraging work have the
satisfaction Oh having seen as good games
as were ever put up on an Augusta dia-
mond and by as clean lot of players as
ever wore an Augusta uniform. The sup
pOrters of the game were comparatively
few, but they did what they could. In
short, the epitaph of the Western cow
boy, which read: "He did his ,larndest:
no angel could do more" was equally true
of them.
When Manager Wreath left the team he
owed the boys about $500 and the efforts
of the association for the past two weeks
have been to provide a means oc making
up some of the Indebtedness, and al
though something was paid there is still
more due the players. This was partly
cancelled Yesterday by popular subscrip-
ton, so that some Of the players We're
paid and the rest probably will be today
Some Of them left for home last night,
while others have already secured places,
on other teams. among the latter being
Scanlon and Kelley. who will go to Ban

HE KNEW THE LINGO
But Musical Editor Made a Mess of
The Baseball Editors Notes.

The baseball editor, having been
summoned by telegraph to attend the
funeral of a distant relative, and hav-
ing barely time to catch the train,
turned his notes over to the musical
editor and asked him. as special
favor. TO write up the game that
had been played that afternoon.
The musical editor took the notes
and studied them.
'I don't know much about base
ball." he soliloquized, "but I know
some of the words in the vocabu-
lay"
Her., is the story he turned in a
few hours later:
1.-THE game between the ChiyOrks
and the BOstroits yesterday afternoon
was witnessed by large and critical
audience. 1t was a cold day. now
ever, and the fans were conspicuous
by their absence. Overcoats ruled in
stead.
"Thc performance opened with the
veteran Sullivis at the bat. Four or
five strikes were called on him, and
then he lifted a beautiful foul over
the left field fence, taking third on
NV play. I1dilIlSOIIlC Slolc
making two out Donobell was hit
in the back by a Texas Lacquer and
ty close decision was put out at the
home plate.
"ROjOnes hit terrific bingle
straight into the hands of the left
center and was put out by a quick
stop and line drive. Grimday was
injured in a squeeze play, and retired
the side, with nobody on third and
several men ouT.
"DaShaw famed and was caught.
at second by a quick stop and throw.
Whitner, whose control of the ball
was excellent, got around to third on
two line drives, but bingled and
failed to score. Parhue was caught
between bases and spiked, the in
jury compelling him to walk to
first.
"Wedner landed an inshoot just
back of the foul line. He then muffed
a third strike and was put out by a
rcdhot grounder. Ferhue stabbed q
base hit and fumbled. getting to first
on ball. Sullivis pulled a fly out of
the atmosphere and tore around the
bases, being put out at last with a
wide curve while sliding for second.
"Donobell lifted line swat over
among the bleachers and went out in
one, two, three order. Parhue singled
for three bases.
''In the last half of the ninth inn
ing Handsome went out on the third
bingle. Donobell missed a home run
and walked and Grimday retired the
side with another Texas Lacquer
straight over the home plate"
Then the musical editor looked over
the story.
