M-oRRow-eREEN NUPTIALs.

One of the prettiest weddings Of the
Christmas season was that of Prof.
Lucian Morrow and Miss Ora E. Green.
The wedding took place at the home
of the brides parents, $50 East State
street, Murfreesboro, Tenn. The home
was beautifully decorated with Christ
mas greens. The marriage ceremony
was performed at high noon, Rev. r.
T. Weatherby officiating. The bride
and groom were unattended. The
bride wore an imported dress Of light
blue penia, trimmed all over in lace.
1t was a gift of her brother, Lieutenant
John e. Green. The ceremony was
performed in the presence of their
most intimate friends, several Of whom
had come from a distance to witness
the nuptials. Among the out-of-town
guests were Mr.. and Mrs. Morrow, of
Princeton, KY; Mrs Long; Misses
Berry and Bertha Green, Of Chatta

casian race. That is to say, If a child
is born whose mother is a mulatto, or
only half Negro, and its father Is pure
Caucasian, which would make the child
only one-fourth Negro, and then II the
descendants of this child intermarries
with pure Caucasian, leaving the pro-
geny of these parents to be only one
eighth or o~ne-sixteenth Of Negro blood,
still the children are claimed by the
laws of a number of Southern states
to be Negroes, or to belong to the
Negro race. These drastic laws have
created such social conditions as do
not exist in any other part of the civil
lized world. There may be nc presence
or no trace Of Negro blood to be
found in a gentleman or lady of the
highest moral, financial and social
standing or circle, yet If they can be
traced backwards to the fourth genera
ton, If there Is any trace Of African
blood in their veins, they become os-
tracised and driven from white society.

But there still remains those Of the

to this idea of social ostracism, or Of
inferiority Of brain because Of social
ostracism by such a small minority Of
the civilized world. Sociologists Of
the highest class, who have dug deer
into the intellectual development Of
the African, have long since decided
that the African and his descendant

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Mr.. David Washington and Miss
Tennetta L. Mclaughlin were happily
united in marriage Wednesday eve
ming, December %, 1909, at the home
of the bride, 446 Houston street, Rev.
]. c. Fields officiating. When the
beautifully decorated parlor was
silenced and nothing could be heard
but the clear sweet tones Of Mendel-
sohn's wedding march, the bride, most
beautifully adorned in white satin,
handsomely trimmed in real imported,
Irish-point lace, with her maid, Miss
Ellen Morris, gracefully marched in
and quietly took her stand beside the
groom, who was elegantly arrayed in
full dress suit. They were married
mid the storms Of the "Flower Song"
After the ceremony was read and
words of congratulations spoken, the
bride, groom and their party were
escorted to a lovely decorated table
with snowy linens, ferns ard flowers.
A delicious menu, consisting OF fruits
cakes and ices, was served, which
every one enjoyed. The young couple
retired to their future home, the home
of the groom, 900 Warren street
where they will cheerfully receive
their friends at any time.

A few days ago in company with

papers in Tennessee, we heard him
make a noted expression. After stand

more than one hundred Of these toys,
he asserted, Here are the features
and colors and representatives OF all
the races Of the earth, but there Is
something about their features unlike
the average Caucasian doll that / have
been accustomed to look upon and
handle. They look to be real live per-
sons. That dead or corpse-like charac-
' ter is missing"

This is a subject that has agitated
the minds Of thinking people for a
number of years, especially the people
of America. The word Negro almost
throughout the civilized world in all
the languages means black. In the
United States, however, it has taken
a very different meaning. African or
Negro slavery in the United States has
brought about so much controversy
and such a social condition that the
different states have attempted from
time to time to legislate upon this
subject. A number Of the Southern
States has defined it by statute, and
the word Negro means in law the black
descendants of Africans, or any ANAL
gamation of these black descendants OF
Africa with any other a C to the third
and fourth generations, even though
one of their ancestors be Of the eau

SCIENTIFIC GAME
KILLS HOME RUNS
BY Tip Wright

1 have read some interesting
stories recently. upon the sdeea-
dence of the home run. Since
1901 and 1902 there has been a
steady falling off in the round
the-world drives. until rhe yearly
crop is about one-half that of
seven or eight years ago.
why should this be?" asks
the writers. And echo answer
"Why?"
l have often thought along this
line, not with the idea of turning
my thoughts into story, but from
force of habit, / guess. And the
conclusion l have reached is that
home runs are disappearing as the
natural result of the scientific de-
velopment of baseball.
Home runs were the forte of
the hit-'em-out boys of 10 years
ago-the fellows who gripped
their wagon tongues at the ex-
IRENE end, planted their feet far
apart and whaled away like cru.
sader swinging a battleax at the
head of an infidel.
They existed in the days before
the foul strike rule and the spit
ball, and every man had his little
chance to take three healthy
swings at the ball, if necessary.
But the pitchers began to study
individuals, and to take advantage
of every weakness. The foul
strike and the spit ball have
worked havoc with the long
drives. and the increased speed OF
the fielders and development of in.
side ball, has helped.
The greatest bar to home runs
is the desire of battArs to play the
modern game of getting runners
Iaroun the bases. Instead OF
smashing away in an effort Ia
kill it." they are now content to
hit just far enough to advance a
man. The long swing has been
replaced by the short chop, the
bat being chosen to insure &C
|curacy.
These fellows who chop at the
ball, sharp and quick. do not get
the power into their effort that
the men did who took a full arm
swing, but they meet the ball sol
idly and drive 1t safe more fire.
quently, which counts more In the
run making.
The bunt and the hit-and-run
have done their share to kill off
the home run and modern base
ball, which demands that every
man shall do his part to help the
team and not play for individual
glory, has done the rest. M
