nor are you the worthy sons ana
daughters of Alabama. Could you look
back forty four years and see condit-
ions as your fathers and mothers FACED
them, when with q land devastated by
the ravages OF war and the heavy hand
of q ruthless enemy, with the entire
social structure revolutionized, with no
capital save that OF strength OF mus
Gle and courage OF heart, they welded
the implements Of war into the useful
instruments OF peace and began ljfe's
hattie anew, No time was lost In Oct
eruaiuIng what to do or In idle mour-
ing over existing conditions, but they
laid to with might and main, and IN
September gathered their crops from
fields over which in April hung the
smoke of battle.
nv vounR friends, this history Is to
MS a proud heritage, and should be an
example of courage sufhcienf 70

The Need of Trained Men.
There Is need for you today, neeo TOT
educated Intelligent men ana women,
devoted to their homes, proud OF their
ancestry and determined to make our
state once more take its place In the
| front rank of this union. not only at
the council boards of state but In the
front rank in productive energy and
genius.
/ believe that given an equal show
the boy of the South is today the equal
of as many Of his brothers Of the North
as was his father in 81 to 49, ana
you know that Il is now an accepted
| fact by every student OF history tnat
in no battle OF that world removed
conflict did the ratio of Southern sold
| iers to those OF the North ever get
closer than two to three or more often
II was one TO two or three or even
more, and then the cause was only
| lost because OF overwhelming ana
everincreasing numbers against de-
pleted ranks which could not be re-
plenished.
1t Is true that in some lines your
show may not be equal to that Of your
brother of the North, for he is petted
by the government. his every product
is protected by law, while you must
sell without the protection of tarim
wall and buy in a protected market
but with even this handicap believe
you can support him and at the same
time outstrip him in the race Of life.
because you came OF generation OF
pioneers who came to a wilderness and
made homes in spite of untold hard
ships and besides you have been taught
not to rely upon the protecting, fost-
ering care Of government but upon the
gray matter in your brains and the
strength OF your muscle.

OH! THE SORROW OF 1T ALL.

We do not feel that we should let
the opportunity pass to say word
or two upon the subject OF the de-
bau cherry of drink, as the same has
existed, and for that matter still eX-
lists in certain quarters OF this COM
munity.
1t seems that drinking is growing
more common, that is, the excessive
use of whiskey and like intoxicants.
1t has always obtained more or less,
but for the past few yearsit has grown
worse; with some mania, with 9TH
ers less 50. Just why people should
become worse than swine it is hard to
imagine, for the animal will take no
more than it cares for or is sufficient,
vet in some of the higher animals
nothing short of being totally inca
pacitated will suffice. Among the
less intelligent we can find some ex-
cuse on the ground of ignorance
with the intelligent there is absolute
ly none.
If those predisposed to the liquor
habit would think of the sorrow and
disgrace and suffering that it brings
on others, they surely would not do
it. Few people are over given to
cruelty, directly, yet the drunkards
are totally blind to the worst kind Of
cruelty. We want to point out some
examples to our young men and warn
them of the pitfalls of this dread de-
mon. By curbing the appetite, all
the attendant sorrow and evil con-
sequences of liquor drinking will be
averted.
We have had so many examples of
the liquor habit-unfortunatcly in
our real midst. In one instance we
have to place over the threshold, as a
consequence of it DEATH.
In another instance we record
FAILURE, and in another instance
we erect the sign DISGRACE, and
we still know of others, all equally
bad. So brow, sorrow, Sorrow-all
the preaching, and all the teaching,
will not eradicate it, but, what will?
The mocking answer comes back tn
Us, what will''?

GRAY AGAIN PUTS
CRUSHER ON
INVADERS
Billy Bloomfield Is Easily Out
pitched by the Doll
Faced Boy

Doll Face Gray is beginning to be
the real mogul in the firing depart
ment and incidentally a stumbling
block TO the Oakland outfit. The boy
with the small features showed a lot
of class and bended over a line that
was as mystifying as the north pole,
and the Oakland sluggers were up in
the air throughout trying to locate
his offerings. At the conclusion OF
the ninth frame Hackett's men had
five runs to one scored by the
opposition.
The Orphans worked like a lot of
mechanics, and the stupidity, which
was once a glaring fault of the San
Francisco boys, is noticed by its abb
sence since Hackett took hold of the
team
The game was a pitchers battle
until the sixth frame, when the Or
phans took a squirt. In this frame
they put over two runs and came right
back in the next frame and put over
another one.
The first trouble for Oakland oc-
Cured when Fitzsimmons threw
Heister's bounder over Nealon's head,
and he took second on the wild throw.
Croll sacrificed, and an attempt was
made to catch Heister at third. but
failed On Streib's out Heister scored.
Croll came home moment later, when
Ferlins grounder bounded over Bloom
fields head.
In the seventh Gray led off with a
mailing hit down the third base line.
Gordon bunted to Sheehan, who threw
to second to catch Gray. The ball
struck the San Francisco pitcher on
the head and Gordon was safe. How
ever, it laid Gray out for the count,
and it looked for moment as if he
was seriously hurt. He recovered and
moved up a peg on Heister's sacrifice.
Gordon sacrificed Gray home, and
Streib hit safely and Gordon scored.
The Orphans got another in the
eighth frame Two hits did the trick.
The only tally which the Invaders
put over came along in their half of
the seventh. Nealon doubled to left
and Henderson singed. Nealon scored
on Burns out. Score:

Two Scratch Hits OFF the

naturally figured that the fifth game of

birds He showed more than any of

assortment Of Griffin were two scratchr
hits and as many bases on called balls.
This is the story of the game
Griffin had everything including the
confidence in his team. which helped
out lot. From the first inning till
the ninth he used ali the speed, con-

like heads OF wheat on the plains.
