NO MORE PUBLIC OFFICE
FOR sEABORN WRIGHT
But His influence VIII Still Be Felt
in Politics.

Atlanta. Ga, Sept. 9-Hon. Seaborn
Wright, former representative from
Floyd county in the legislature, and
leader of the prohibition forces, will
never again offer for public Office
This statement is made on no less
authority than Mr.. Wright himself
who gave it out in labor day speech
in his own town, Rome. i've quit
running for office and never expect to
offer for election again to anything
else as long as the breath of life is in
me-" he declared The announcement
of Mr.. Wright that he will never again
enter public life will be received with
great interest throughout Georgia and
the South. During his long career as
law maker and politician he carried
great influence. In fact it was larg-
ely due to his work in the legislature
that the prohibition was carried. 1t
is not believed that his retirement
from public life can be taken to mean
that he will relinquish his hold on
matters pertaining to the public we'll
fare. AS someone has remarked, al
would not be Seab Wright if he die
not step into the breach when the
welfare of his fellow man was al
stake. Therefore he may be expected
to still WELD a great influence in Geor-
gia politics.

AMtRICUS WON FOUR
IN NINE WITH MACON
Local Team at Home After
Series There
Good Work Was Done
By Both Teams In
Wind Up Games

The Americas team playing the Sc
ries with the Macon Athletics this
week returned here yesterday morn
ing, Peddy, Bynum, McGregor, Dunn
Crews, and Fort making up the mem
bership of the Champs team! playing
there. Americas took only one of the
three games played
Of the nine games played this seas
on between Americas and Macon it
was almost an even break, Macon TAX
ing five and Americas four games.
Of the game there the day before the
Macon Telegraph of yesterday has the
following:
The game was full of good features,
which at times electrified the slender
audience, in spite of the fact that the
players were all the time getting off
some Chestnut on the good and bad
plays.
Chancey, the local lad, who was
signed to play right field for Macon
next year, showed up in fine shape in
right field yesterday. There was lit
tie or no work to be done in the field,
but the boy was there with the stick
A sacrifice and long home run out
of three times at the bat, were his
share of the batting honors His long
fly over right field fence was one of
the longest hits of the year, as it
cleared the lower part of the fence
about twenty feet.
However, he did not take all the bat
ting honors. Peddy, the fast little
shortstop for the Americas boys, got
the only two hits of his team, one Of
them being over the fence in the left
garden.
His other hit came in the last in
ming, but he was doubled out at first
by line drive to short.
This winds up the season for these
two teams, as this series was the de-
Gliding contest for amateur champion
ship for this part of the state The
two teams had played nine games with
each other, the Macon Athletics win
ming five.
Manager Hall, of the local team,
stated last night that he was very
much pleased over the showing made
by his team this summer He will
probably have another team in the
field next year, and will mix up again
with his opponents and friends from
Americas.
