 Jackson was a mil hand fin cotton factory at Greenville. \. C.. and drew won him a position in the Carolina League and it was there that Connie Mack saw, liked and purchased him.
 Jackson went north late in the ses- ed just long enough to play one game. and in spite of the fact that he made a couple of good catches end drove in ana Sais went 1 Fa back Dsa homs 1so connie Mack Mack told Socks" to go after him and stick until he brought the player back:
 Socks" tells it this way: When reached the little town of Greenyille I jumped into carriage and drove out to Jackson's house. about two miles from the city. He with sone aS dtSs tSEn post a waited until he returned. My hardest work was in persuading his wife to allow him to return.
 When Jackson came back he would not hear of. 1t and had to use all of my persuasive powers to even get him to listen to me. He had never been away from home much. and confessed that the reason he jumped the Athletics was because of hoin0eickness
 finally induced him to 20 back, and he packed his grips and we start- cd for the station. When we got there I found that the train was eight hours late. tried to keep him at the hotel. but he went back home
 We were to leave at ( o'clock tha next morning and when 5:5S came ana no Jackson was in sight I thought had lost him again. But he showed up a minute before the train came in and off we started. hid his bagKa Ee so he wouldn't change hls mind.
 We stopped i've minutes at a little station and Jackson got or for some lunch. The train drew out without him. but he did some sprinting and managed to catch the last car. After he reached Philadelphia, he aent for his wife, but she had an attack of homesIckness and left after she had been there & couple of days Na~f night Jackson skipped out again, and that was the last we saw of him Tor the rest of the season"

MUSI ItAtH NC RAILS
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Declares DR.. Anthony of
First Methodist Church.
States Duty Is To En-
force instruction
Along Lines of
Moral Obliga-
tons

Rev. Bascom Anthony, of the Amer
icus Methodist Church, has very pro-
nounced views on the subject of the
moral education of the young and does
not hesitate to state them with his
usual forceful yigor, expressing his
sentiments in a clean cut style that
forces conviction on his hearers and
is very apt to win them over TO his
ideas.
1T is a fact recognized BY writer's
in various parts of our land represent
ing various schools of theology that
there is a waning sense of moral OBJ
legation among the young OF well nigh
all sections and especially in our
cities, said DR.. Anthony yesterday, in
discussing a sermon he preached on
last Sunday on this line IF a proper
conception of their duty TO those about
them, of the lines of moral conduct
that should regulate their after lives,
is to be impressed upon them. it must
be largely through the medium of the
public schools, as well as through the
home training. The church has the
young but a few minutes every week
for direct influence upon their moral
culture. And the church, sorrowful
to relate. does not begin to reach
them all even for the brief period
that is given up on Sundays to their
religious instruction A vast mass Of
the children of the land are simply
growing up without coming at all IN
der the charge of the church in its
Sunday school work A vast mass of
them, toos are not given any definite
moral instruction at home They are
simply taught by force of example
that certain things are punishable by
law-if they get caught Sometimes
am forced to think that the lesson
most powerfully impressed on the re-
ceptive minds of the young is
that of the Importance of not
not being caught, of not being found
out. The keen sense of honor for
honor's sake, the sense of personal
moral obligation to those with whom
We come in daily contact, and the
even more important sense of duty to
our own higher natures, is not being
cultivated as it should be, is being
absolutely ignored in untold thous-
ands of instances. And the fruits
that the country must reap will be
something even worse than thorns and
thistles.

Amerieus, Ga, September 30, 1903,
MORAL TRAINING IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

We publish strong interview with
Rev. Bascom Anthony in today's issue
of the imes-Recorder on the neces-
sity of providing moral. or religious,
training N the public schools for the
children who are to make the future
citizens, the future fathers and moth
ers, of the land.
No one can dispute the assertions OF
Dr. Anthony. The necessity for such
training as he refers to is easily
recognizable. But the fear that some
one may object, that the too sensitive
feelings of some one may be Jared,
has heretofore kept the school author
tiles, or the legislators of the State,
from seriously graphing with the sub
ject.
If We are to have high sense of
honor in the coming generations, il
we are to have proper respect for
life and property, if We are to have
due recognition of the rights of others,
if we are to have clean minded, pur-
poseful, self restrained nation, the
groundwork must be laid in moral
training in the schools. cooperating
with the training that may be receiy-
ed at home or in the churches
There is really only one place where
moral training can be assured for the
young. and that is in the public
schools. There is no guarantee that
they will receive it in their homes.
The churches and Sunday Schools give
few minutes every week to the in
struction, presumably along sectarian
lines, Of such as come within the
scope of their influence. But it is only
in the great common school system
that the vast army Of children can be
readily and surely reached. And there
the foundation for lives of probity and
usefulness should certainly be laid on
high moral lines. devoid of any ap-
proaeh to church doctrines.
DR.. Anthonys views on this subject.
as on all others he handles, are well
worthy of careful reading and consid-
Grafton the thought suggests itself,
why should not Georgia take the lead
in this matter? Evidently the State is
going to undertake to enforce attend
ance on its schools within the next
year or two. Public sentiment is rap
idly crystalizing in that direction
When this is brought about why not
couple with it obligatory moral train
ing along lines that will not be offens-
i've to any man or woman who believes
in a Supreme Being and the obliga-
tons of humanity to conform to his
moral laws, and without regard to the
inconsequential wrappings that man
has thrown around the kernel through
the theological system he has built up
through the ages

POULTRY RAISING N THIS
SECTION.

Down at Albany a man has just
bought ten acres of land, on the out
skirts of the city, and on it will begin
the rails ng of poultry. He believes,
and probably his experience viii sus-
tain his views. that poultry raising in
this section can be conducted success
fully and made to pay we'll
When one remembers the contin-
uous high prices for chickens, turkeys
and eggs it is easily appreciated that
a successful poultry farm must be a
good paying investment
There is no apparent reason why
such farm SIN Id net pay well in
the vicinity of Americus. The bust
ness is light one. it is an interesting
-1lSe> 5t-le man qualified to handle
it, the IAN who has studied the rails
ing of poultry and is acquainted with
the care of the birds in health and in
sickness, is assured an ample market
for all that his farm can produce.
There is no reason wty Americas,
any more than Albany, or Columbus,
or any of the other cities and towns of
southwest Georgia, should be forced to
import its poultry products from Ten
nessee, Indiana and other states to
the west, or to go without them.
Most of the failures in the poultry
business. as in all other lines, are due
to ignorance, to the inexperience of
those undertaking them. But the man
who first acquaints himself with the
details of the management of such a
farm, and then locates near this city,
on one of the fine highways leading
out from it, will probably find that he
has a veritable bonanza.

Must Be Taught in schools.

The children must have moral or
religious instruction in the public
schools. the only place where practi-
caIly all of them can be reached. Not
doctrinal instruction, mind you. but
a clear conception Of the fundamental
principles of all religious faith in
this country. the sense of an over
ruling God. the knowledge of funda-
mental laws established by Him for
the guidance of His children, and a
clearer concept of their duty, as the
children of this over-ruling God and
as good citizens of the state, to obey
these laws. 1t is not necessary to in
fuse any doctrinal matter at all I
would be among the first to oppose
such proposition. But We all,
Protestants, Catholics and Jews, rec
ognize the same Father above, recog-
nize the binding force of His COM
mandments, acknowledge His author
ity and profess the same patriotic
love of our common land Surely
then it would not be difficult for q
commission representing all these ele-
ments TO produce a series of religious
instructions for the young that would
be acceptable TO all. in which there
would be no faint Of sectarianism.
I firmly believe the government.
should require this. The government,
for its own protection, insists on the
education OF the young. Compulsory
education is being established from
one end of the country to the other
But it is an education in which morals
cut but little figure, except in the
most incidental fashion. There is no
direct effort to stamp upon the de-
veloping minds. in an indelible way,
the sense of moral obligation to their
fellow men without which they can
not make good citizens and without
which they are most apt to become
an actual menace to a government
founded on the rule Of the people, as
this is. If it is necessary for the &C :
tual protection of republican form
of government that its future citizens
be intellectually trained. then it is
more than ever essential that, coupled
with this education of the brain, there
be an education OF the moral sense.
The government that insists on the
first and excludes the latter is deal
ing its own death blow. It is tear
ing away the foundations from under
its own feet, it is preparing an abyss
into which it must eventually fall IN
ruins. No free government such as
ours can survive once the sense OF
moral obligation is destroyed among
its citizens, once the restraints and
the self-controI that come from prop
er moral instruction are swept away
by the ignoring of such training for
the young.
