Tracy City 10, Whitwell 5.

The game between the crack Tracy
City team and the Whitwell picked
nine resulted in a victory for Tracy
City 10 to 8. 1t was a hot and excit-
ing game in which both teams strug-
gled fercely for the mastery. Tracy
led off at the bat and succeeded in ma
king three runs by numerous errors on
the part of Whitwell. Whitwell also
scored twice in their half on errors of
the Tracy players, the rough condition
sof the diamond having considerable to
do with the error making After this
inning both teams settled down to
closer work, and some nice plays were
made.
! For Tracy Wiesener was the star,
playing third base in league style.
Hall also made good plays at second.
fiji sSeatehes of flies were made in the
putfeld, who took in several difficult
ones Douglas who pitched for Tracy
was speedy and did excellent work,
hnd was well supported by Norwood,
who caught an excellent game.
For Whitwell johnson pitched a star
game, doing finely with a bad start,
his team not being able to hit Douglas
until the latter part of game. Barber,
who caught first part of game, got a
hand split, and retired in favor of
Smith. The star catch of the game
was made by HixOn in center who
grabbed sky soaring fly by one hand
as it was about to pass over his head.
Brock also did good work, as did Rob
erson. Whitwell pulled off two rat
fling double plays: Andregg, short,
to Brock at second to Smith at first,
aud Robertson at left field to Brock.
Errors were numerous, but the result
was about the same to each team
The Tracy team understood the sac
riaice hit play pretty well, two of their
scores being brought in on that, Weis-
ener being the first one guilty.
The climax of the game was inter
esting. With the score 10 to Whit
well went to bat in the last half on
last attempt 10 tie Tate hit hot one
through Shaeer at first, but was
thrown out trying to make second.
Anderegg hit safely for one base,
Stewart, tore loose two bagger, Rob
-sgson struck out, and johnson with
three balls hit pop up foul to Weis-
ener which was fun for him 1t was
brave rally and exciting finish to a
stubbornly contested game, as Tracy
was at one time six runs ahead
Laurence Spears of Jasper, umpired
a nice game, trying TO do fair work
for both sides.

Democrats Lost Opportunity

1t will 20 down in political his
tory that the Democrats in Con.
gress on Monday, March 10, 1909,
with a magnificent opportunity to
smash the car rule OF the Cannon
CLIQUE, marched out in solid battle
formation with detachment OF
insurgent Republican allies, en-
gagged the enemy, dislodged him,
aud then, in a fatal brief moment
of discord, broke ranks, scattered
their fire and retired from the
field-beaten.
No matter where primary blam'
rests, it cannot be denied that the
Democrats lost the most glorious
opportunity they ever had TO
smash Cannonism and all the
abuses that this modern'coined
word denotes. Having failed here
those insurgent Republicans who
stood loyal and united while the
Democrats wrangled are under no
especial obligation to give the
Democrats another chance.

SOME THOUGHTS ON PUBLIC
ROAD IMPROVEMENT

Rockbridse. along with other
counties of Virginia, stands In
need of public road Improvements.
The spirit is abroad in the land
for better roads, and practical re-
suits are being achieved in numer'
Gus counties. Our Reigbbor to the
north, Augusta, is doing excellent
work with improved road.maklng
machinery, and go is also Rock
ingham.
A striking illustration of the
practicabiiity of permanent road
Improvement is brought to our at
teption in letter from Hon. Aub.
rev E. STROBE, State Senator from
Amherst county, and addressed to
P. St. j. Wilson. State Highway
Commissioner, in which he praises
the roads of Amherst county. Mr..
Strobe says that from bis personal
observation, from information Sc
cured from his connection with
the transfer of titles to lands, he
ventures nothing in the assertion
that every acre of land contiguous
to the macadam roads recently
constructed in Amherst county has
doubled in value.
There are some difficulties in the
way in Rockbridge to permanent
improvement of the roads. One
of the chief obstacles is the mar
rowness of the roadways along the
principal thoroughfares. caused
by the encroachment of fences on
the land belonging to the county
roads. In most instances. no doubt,
this encroachment has been
thoughtlessly done in the past, but
90 universal has now become the
custom that it seems everybody lie
doing likewise. As result, in
stead of wide and comfortable
thoroughfare We have narrow and
inconyenient roads.
Some day in the not distant fu-
ture our section of the State will
wake to the realization of the fact
that trolly lines are essential to
the comfort and convenience of
rural and suburban population.
When that time comes, an almost
insuperable difficulty will be found
in the narrow roads: and the
change IN the location Of fences
would entail considerable labor
and expense on the AUDITING prop
erty owners. and possibly litiga.
ton.
The county authorities should
az once serve notice Oh everybody
that at any time they feel 1t is
necessary, they will require the
fences to be put lack, and that
they must be put back when re-
paired or rebuilt.
There lie a pretty safe rule for
every one to follow, if he does net
know exactly where the line of the
road comes, never to 60 down over
a bank or up over fill, for he can
pretty reasonably feel tina. origi'
nally these cuts and fills were in
the public right of way.

A dispatch from Richmond of
last Saturday says:
Dissatisfied with the alleged
attempt Of political leaders to
mould and control public cent?
ment and to force upon the people
candidates whom they do not want
and to force them to vote for can
didates named by the leaders, the
Personal Liberty Association was
formed in this city today, with
three thousa and charter members,
all of whom paid in advance the
assessment of one dollar levied
against them.
edmund Pendleton, formerly
associated with the Evening Jour-
nal, was elected secretary. The
officers of the association have not
vet otherwise been ramed.
1T is the intention of the new
organization to take an active part
in the impending gubernstorial
contest. 1t is said that the organ
ization has the backing of the Ii
quor element, and that 1t will es-
pecially look TO the defeat of Judge
William Hodges Mann. and the
chastisement of the Rev. James
Cannon, of the Anti.Saloon League.

citation, save that bis organization
knows nothing officially OF any
personal liberty association, nor
has it any utilization with such an
organization, and the Personal
Liberty League is a separate and

far broader purposes than local
