MALARKY IS
 WELDING AXE Trimming Team Down
 to Proper Size. THREE PLAYERS ARE LET GO Biggers, Leslie and Brandt Will Not
 Play Here. Further Pruning of Box Stan Unlikely for Time-Elsey is Engaged to
 Play the Initial

MaIarky has begun to get busy with his axe, and for the next few days that instrument of torture will. in all prob- ability, work overtime.
 Yesterday morning Biggers, the elongated ftrst baseman, and Leslie, the Union springs boy, who has been tried out for the back5top department, were handed each package with q big, yell low lemon in the center of 1t. Malar- ky's decision to tin-pan the two men was reached on the recent trip to the Gulf Coast, where he says. neither of them showed up in anything like the form that he wanted to see.
 s For the present, Elsey, who played is holding down that bag for Malarky, and if he makes good. he will be fixture.
 The manager says there Is one thing sure. however. and that is that first base is going to be handled in gilt edged style. and that he will continue to get men for that position until he gets one that he thinks is ths works.
 Leslie is one of the most promising ball players in the country, but Ma larky says he lacks experience; In a them.
 Sweeney also is not making the showing that Malarky wants. and there is possibility of the axe falling on his broad shoulders at any moment.
 This will leave the short field to be fought out by Heine Busch and Nye-- and the latter will have to do some of
 
 anywhere near the fielding of the Kid.
 Corners and Perry are fixtures on third and second, as are Anderson and Hausen behind the bat, but the box stan Is what is making the manager of the locals have lots of bad nights.
 Walker, Walsh, Maxwell and Bur mum are all showing such good form that 1t is an exceedingly hard matter to select four out of the fve--Malar- ky making the fifth.
 Brandt has been given the hiPhhalt and as Malarky said yester lay ma he only intends to carry four pitchers this summer, there will be six with Sam Weems. He says he doesn't think that he will do anything about weeding out the box staff until the final limit on the 10th of May. Until that time he will have five good pitch CTS to work and he should be able to land a good many championship games--especially as all of the pitch CTS will work like heroes trying to make a landing.
 The outfield Is a cinch, of course, and while decapitations in the infield are looked for any old day. the team at present shapes up like this
 Elsey Cor unknown) first base; Per- ry, second base; Corners, third base; Busch, Nye or unknown, shortstop; Malarky. Walker. Walsh, Maxwell and Burnum. pitchers; Hausen and Ander- son, catchers; HoutS, Apperious and McCann outdeld
 Just how soon this list of fifteen may be revised is a question, as Ma larky is down to business in earnest now.

SUBJECTED TO A RIGID
 ANALYSIS
Chemical Department, South Carolina College.

 Gentlemen is to certify that, pursuant to your request have bought in the open market (from the Murray Drug Co., an original package Of nve gallons of Coca-Cola Syrup, bearing fhe label of "The Coca-Cola Co.,. At lanaa, Ga.," and have subjected the same to careful analysis.
 The object of this investigation be- ing to establish the presence or ab- sence of cocaine, and possibly or other injurious alkaloids, operated on ouAntities of three to five times the amount contained in bottle or the carbonated beverage The extractions W 5 of the syrup were repeated untii the alkaloids were entirely removed ana different fmmiscible solvents were us- ed on different portions. The crys- talline substance thus obtained was Surther separated by fractional extrac- lions. after which 1t was concentratea and tested. Since this concentrated product which would contain all or tba cocaine, failed to respond to the tss+s for cocaine, 1t Is clear that the a1kaloid is absent, or, if present at sii then in quantities too minute to allow of detection. The active con stituant of Coca-Cola Syrup proved to he caffeine, and in quantities seeming Iv less than in a cup Of good cottee or tea. .S
 There was no evidence or the pres ence of other alkaloids.

In a very timely article upon 'Aduni- cipai Glasgow" contributed by Benja- min Taylor to the March 18th number of The North American Review. the benefits and the evils of municipal own ership are frankly set forth. While Glasgow. according to this writer, af- lords ito other cities and countries good example, she also affords in many other things a warning" To quote further:
 While Glasgow is, as has been said. a weIl-managed city, as cities go, its citizens are by no means unanimous affairs. These affairs are in the hands of representatives elected periodically by the ratepayers in the wards, eacn representative being seated for three ysare and eligible for recollection with out limit While 1t Is true that many to the Town Council, it is also true that a great many are sent there with out the mental grasp or experience to deal with such weighty matters as the Town Council has to control. Men ac- customed to small transactions in their some proposal to add f50 8 year to the salary of a deserving official, and will then blindly vote for some project that may add a million to the. debt Of the city. Such men will propose capt- tai expenditure that will please their events without apearing to consider, that capital expenditure must ulti- mate1y fall upon the ratepayer in some form

The Portland oregonian has a rather lengthy editorial on the canal matter. and though it Is fairly loaded with ex- cuses and explanations, 1t Is plain to see that the writer Is not an enthusi- astic defender of what has been done and not done--nor it is optimistic as to the future. The truth of the matter is that however loyal an honest news paper is to the administration, it finds 1t an uphill job to defend the numerous biunders and worse than blunders that have followed on each others heels almost from the begining. It was Patrick Henry who said: T know no way to judge the future but by the past" If we apply that to the canal business, it leaves us very much up in the air, just as we have been all along.

ANoTHnR CRANK.

se-swapping used to be a great entertainment among the rural dwell- CTS. The habit may stiIl be kept up in ent personal knowledge on the subject. We remember very well, however, how it used to be, when on Saturdays the countrymen with horses to trade would meet at the little town or country store and spend the day trying to get the there would be day set apart and proclaimed far and wide as ''horse- swappers' day." and 1t was always an interesting occasion. profitable to some and decidedly otherwise to some oth- CTS. We are reminded of all this by reading in a contemporary:
 From time immemorial getting the better of a "hoss trade" without Actu- ally lying has been regarded. as very fine thing and a certain index to su- perior business acumen. No trader has ever been required by the ethics or his the nag he offered; 1t was for him to point out all of the good qualities that he could find or imagine and leave the party of the other part to discover the bad qualities. But now comes along the Legislature of Indiana and pro vides by enactment that a man trading horse must tell absolutely everything that he knows about 1t, and tell only the truth, under penalty of 8 heavy fine and possibly imprisonment also; Thus the romance of the "hoss trade" is spoiled. The wonder is that the host of Indiana novelists and other writers didn't arise in their might and prevent the Legislature from doing this cruel thing.
 That now, is what we call an un- warranted interference with the pri- vate individual and inalienable rights of the American citizen. No genuine horse trader was ever expected to tell of the faults and deficiencies of the animal he proposes to trade, and none who understands the business will ask or expect such proceeding. The owner will talk freely. feelingly and often eonvincingly of the good in his horse, but not of the bad. It Is sup posed that each swapper must be his own Judge of the animal he is trading for, and one of the interesting features of the game is to skin the other fellow. Then his business Is to get even on somebody else.
 We very much suspect that the man who fathers this measure in the In- diana Legislature is some fellow who has been done brown in a e-swap and is sore over 1t. If that is so. he Is no sportsman. and he ought to be ruled out of all horse-swapping entertain ments in future. He is trying to break up the game entirely. for 1t will not be carried on under such a law as that

oLp AND Nnw sTYLE.

Criticism is often directed towards what is called sensational preaching" and possibly some of the ministers de- serve the censure that is bestowed on them. Also. we not infrequently hear it said that 'the present style of preaching Is not like the old-style kind. and not as good as that" Well, to some extent that may depend on what we look on as the old style, and also on the locality of the minister. Per- haps little looking backward may not be without interest. Doubtless many have heard and read of Jonathan Edwards, famous New England min ister of the then colony of Connecticut. He was noted alike for his learning and for his earnestness, and we can well believe the latter. In a sermon preached at Northampton, on one of the hottest days of July. 1741, he said:
 The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds spider or abhors you and Is dreadfully provoked; l; His wrath toward you burns like ire; He looks upon you as worthy or noun ing else but to be cast into the nre; have you in His sight; you are 10000 times so abominable in Ills eyes as the most hateful and yenomous serpent iS how :" many any Is it likely viii remember this discourse in he'll And it would be a wonder if some that are now pssesent saouid n0t De nia in hea Yaar in And it would be no wonder if some persons. that now sit here in some seats of this meeting-house, in health and quiet, and secure, should be there before tomorrow morning.
 That was laying 1t on rather thick. we should say. and we suspect that many of his hearers felt the chills coursing up and down their spinal coll umns, hot as the weather was. And then, to clinch the matter. as we might say. he added:
 The damned in hell will have two inffnities perpetually to amaze them end n haos men hay one wifi if an hear ana whom they will behold their perfect and frroconcilable enemy. The other is the infinite duration of their tor ment.
 Wonder what would now be thought of that style of preaching7 Yet, as we have said, Jonathan Edwards was not only learned man, but was a popular preacher and man of great reputation in New England until his death, which occurred about century and a half ago. We do not know for fact, but perhaps the cold and phlegmatic Yankees of that day needed something of the hot kind to stir them up. If they did. they certainly got 1t from Edwards.

 Washington Special to Memohis Com

 That President Roosevelt Is heart and soul for the nomination of Secre- tary Taft for President was accentua- ted today by a remark he nad made to two prominent Southerners who called at the White House to pay their respects. Although both are loyal Democrats. they were presented to the president by Tennessee Congressman as great admirers of Secretary Taft. This seemed to commend them to the president, who said in substance that while he could not name his successor he regarded MT. Taft as the best man In the Republican party. Regardless of what the president may have had in mInd, the impression made upon the minds of the Southerners was that he desired to see Mir. Taft nominated to succeed him in the White House.
 As stated in former dispatches, the impression is deepening that the pres- ident is systematically working to accomplish the nomination of MT. Taft at the next Republican national com Yention. The only room for doubt is the presidents. caprice of tempera- mant. but in any manner concerning his bigheartetd and bigger brained secretary of war he has not thus far indicated the least fickleness of affec- ton or interest.

There are, of course. men who will tell everything they know about the animal they propose to trade; nothing exten- 'uate, nor set down aught in malice" as the poet says. but they are not pro- fessionals. and horse-swapping is not their business The man who makes 1t a profession will either get out of In- diana or into the hands of the law if 1t becomes law. But this is only an other specimen of the crank who thinks he can make al: men good by law. There are such in all legislative bodies.
