LONG POWER LINES.
Georgia Fertilizer Company Will Use
 Electricity.

Columbus, Ga, August 4.-(Special. )- The furthest transmission of electrical power developed from the falling waters of the Chattahoochee river at this point yet effected is provided for in a contract just signed by the Columbus Power con- pany and the Georgia Fertilizer com pany.
 The Georgia Fertilizer company is building a large new plant several miles east of Columbus. and yesterday its pres ident and general manager, John T. Fletcher, signed a contract for the il- stallation of electric power there. The new factory is five or six miles from the plant on the river where the electric cur rent Is generated, and little copper wire will carry the energy that will turn the ponderous machinery of the new guano factory. The Columbus Power company will proceed at once to erect new power line to the site of the new factory. Such power lines are being gradually con- structed to section after section of the Columbus manufacturing district, as new industrial enterprises are established, and other plants already in operation change from steam to electricity.

out of the game; Rip Ragan of Birmins ham and Ginger Clark of the same club.
 Doyle and Ragan were brand new men when picked Up by Matthews and both paid their own fare to Dallas for try-outs.
 Doyle came from Clay Center. Kan. and Ragan from Cherryville of the sane state.
 Ury played first base. He is now in the Western association.
 Matthews himself took part in the fes- tlvities those days, playing second base. The third baseman was Harry Clarke, now captain of the Milwaukee club In the American association. Clarke came from Portsmouth. O., and was new in the busL ness when Matthews secured him.
 The outfield was made up of Cavendar, Nichols and Groeffer. Cavendar is man aging the Ft. Worth club; the man with the hard name Is in Dec atur, H. Mat thews does not know where Nichols can be found.
 queer thing about the club was that three Clarkes were in the lineup. All three are doing we'll now.-Atlanta Jour- : nal

else the knockout wallop will land on you, sure as defeat comes to the man who sticks in the ring long enough.
 When l use the word employment I do not mean necessarily the means by which you obtain your daily bread. Oft entimes a man Is employed outside of his regular work in such a way that the knockout punch is as sure to get him as the goblins In the fairy tales.
 Be sure while making your brain busy to keep 1t clean at the same time. The knockout punch can find weak spots of that kind easily
 Ask most anybody who has made a success of any legitimate line of busi- ness. Pm willing to lose a new hat if the reply doesn't bear me out in the statement that idleness Is the greatest knockerout of any of the long list of punches that are tabled up as the real killers Just try it.
 The most numerous of all victims of the knockout punch are the men whose lack of ambition ruins their footwork.
 They fall into a rut and without any thing hind them to urge them on, over comes the wallop and they take the count good and proper
 It's fierce that some people never can work up ambition.
 They just naturally de on their own hands-no efforts made to sldestep the coming punch. no gameness, no ginger shown.
 1 hate to see a quitter. And the mah who quits to his own self Is the rankest quitter of all
 Yet that is all lack of ambition is. We were given supposedly equal facilities and in a large numberof cases equal oppor- tunities for getting on in the world. Yet what is the percentage of men who Hay down." drcp out of 1t like an old spav ined race horse and merely say, Let 1t come" when they see the inevitable knockout blow headed their way?
 Of course, circumstances alter a large number of cases, but 1t makes me sick to hear men offering such silly things as excuses for lifes failure.
 Dog it and you'll take the count-mark what I'm shouting to you. Be game and they'll never get you.
 It's Just the same in everyday life as it is in the prize ring. Sometimes it takes long time to get onto the man who isn't game. He can make strong bluff and once in while get away with the flushing.
 That's the way it Is in every line of life. But to my way of thinking the four-fiusher Is vastly superior and more lo be commended than the man who don't even try to put up his dukes and strike a guard attitude. The four-iusher at least has his brain busy trying to devise ways and means of making it look good The other fellow doesn't even care if the imitation that he is putting up smells 70 the clouds.
 Lack of judgment is responsible many times for mans hanging helpless on the ropes. Lots of men try to do too many things without giving any one line of work a fair trial.
 There's only one finish to the man whose ambition Is too strong to be con- fined in reasonable limits.
 The big wallop will get him and he's

In my last article I told you that the real knockout punches of life weren't delivered by the fist and they aren't.
 Just the same they can be guarded against as all other blows can be guarded against
 Today I'm going to tell you how to guard against the punch that means the loss of the fight.
 Here's my advice in two words:
 KEEP BUSY. That tells the whole story.
 Volumes have been written telling how to avoid the punches that wreck hopes the future, more volumes have been written telling how to rise above the ranks and make yourself a "champion''- that's the word-in whatever line you strive.
 But in all these volumes there is no better advice than is contained in the two words: KEEP BUSY.
 The busy man Is like the fellow in the prize ring who is clever on his feet. His mind works quickly he is trained to the minute He can dodge the knockout Don't l know? We'll Just take my advice. Keep everlastngly at it. That will help
 more than anything whom you really want to avoid the knockout punch
 Be busy busy, busy all the time. Cult- yate active brain and keep that brain well oiled up by having something good to do.
 likeness is as great curse as liquor, and incidence Is worse than likeness.
 When a man, full grown, healthy man, in full possession of the sense na- ture gave him and ordinarily strong as most men run, hasn't anything good to do he is about the most helpless and at the same time the most useless thing I can conceive.
 He's just like fighter who has TO guard.
 or like a fighter who has a guard and cannot figure out a way to use 1t to advantage. Footwork, a strong part of any mans defensive work. will nave to be devel- oped too. if you would avoid the smash that lays you low. Step lively, be on the go, and you will keep out of the way of the K. O. punch. We hear lot about the idle rich and the trouble they get into simply because their dormant brains need some sort of a waking sensation. They get into mis- chief through idleness and cannot avoid the knockout punch. This disease, for such 1t seems to be. appears to be par ticularly prevalent in many sections of the east and especially around Pitts burg.
 In these days of plenty all over the country 1t strikes me as being positive ly criminal for anybody to want for proper employment. If you are in dan ger of getting the peak of your jaw In front of the knockout punch by hav- ing uncongenial employment, get Into something that's to your notion of what employment should be. Don't grumble and molly -coddle your life away.
 Cat busy and get out your own way.

New Orleans. August 4.-Memphis and New Orleans were to have played a double-header today. but the first gaTe went fourteen innings for total of th.r ty hits. Besides there were some mis- plays which made fun for an overflow crowd, and dragged out ale game so that there was no time to complete the second contest.
 Memphis laid down quite an unusual series of bunts. which helped them win. Two were out in the fourteenth when the winning run was batted in.
 The second game was called on account of darkness at the end of the second in- ming, with the score 0 to 0.
 A double-header will be played here to- morrow

WHAT OTHERS SAY.


 at the announcement that Memphis would have to forfeit the game played with Shreveport Friday. He calls attention to the fact that protested game never counted In any league race, and he is doubtful if this one will.
 "They have sixteen men all right" says Billy. They have asked waivers on Cris- tai, but as they pitched him it is evident that they don't intend to let him go 50 they are two men over the limit, all rlght."-Atlanta Georgian.
 That festive little trick of Bill Sori ell 5 Saturday afternoon in the opening game of the double-header, cost him cool so fine, and a weeks suspension, without pay, which means another $50 lost And if ever gent had it coming to him, and then some. that same gent Is the said SoT- rell.
 It all came about in the fourth round of the opening affair. Vaughns hired men had been hammering him from Inc jump, but in this round the roar of the cannonadng boomed louder than ever. And then after two had scored and two more were on base, Sorrell deliberately quit cold and left the hurling hill for the bench
 Carr and Lister called him back, but he refused to budge. Then Nobbs was called in from center field, and after brief ar Gument the mutlneer ambled out again and finished the round.-Nashvile Ter. |. nessean.

 'I guess Ball is easily tk> best short stop in the league" says Bill. The only other man in his class is Atz. He nus improved in every way about a hundred per cent since he was here In the spi ing His arm was bad then and that was why I let him go. He will make d good man for some big team. l guess.

 Matthews was dopey yesterday. An amusing feature was his attempt to blame Davis for his wild throw to third that allowed Page to score in the first The fat catcher claimed that "Slats' was standing too close and nterfered witl. him. At that. Page had the base stolen.- Arkansas Gazette.
 The idea of Gold Brick blaming any, one save himself for his fierce throwing to bases.
