GEORGE MULLIN
TO WORK FASTER

1roro &c some good news for the long
suffering fans about the American League
circuit, who have always phoneo nome TO
keen supper warm when it was announced
that George Mullin was to pitch for De-
troit Although Mullin has never acquired
the raputation in the papers for being
slow that Cuppy and Joe Doyle did. he
consumed about as much time in his de-
livery as either Of the human tortoise.
,3,,t NIullin is to work with haste in the
future. Charley Schmidt. the Tiger catch
er. stands sponsor for that statement.
In his weekly hold-out letter to the De-
troit papers Schmidt says:
at this time I want to say something
about George Mullin. Well along in the
season Mullin was losing and all the other
pitchers were winning. George had the
hines. He had bees beaten in Chicago
and then they got after him strong in
Boston. 'kidded' him at the time and h ,
was So sore over his bad luck that he
would not talk to me for two days. But
one night he came to me and said:
Charlie. what do you think Of my
luck in pitching?
II said, George. will tell you why
you can't win. When you go into the box
the infield gets set and you don't pitch
until they relax. Then you pitch and they
are not set for a ball If 1t is hit their way.
and that is why SO many go by that
would be fielded If you would pitch quick
err l asked him to try 1t next time and
he said he would. He beat Boston = to 1
and pitched the game in one hour and
thirty-five minutes. and followed 1t up by
beating New York in one hour and
twenty EIGHT minutes. He was the most
tickled fellow l ever saw and he finished
out the season pitching fast. He pitched
fast against the Cubs and he said he was
a third better by pitching fast.
Il want to make prediction that Null
lin will be one of the winning pitchers
Of 1909 If he isn't. / shall be badly fool
ed. Regarding the other pitchers on the
club. | will say that Wild BIZ will re-
peat sure. Susgs will make good this time
and the club does not need a thing to
strengthen 1t.

was unusually large at this meeting,
as it is said that it exceeded that of

MAKES PROGRAM FOR ANNUAL
CONVENTION,

At the meeting of the Executive
Board of the National Baptist Con-
vention, which convened in this city
last week, and which was called to
order by Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D.,
president of the said convention, it
is understood that the program was
made for the annual session of the
convention, which is to be held in
Columbus, Ohio, in the month of
September. Nothing concerning the
program or who will appear thereon
could be obtained, as, according to
Secretary Hudson's statement, it is
contrary to the rules to give out any
definite information, and yet it is ru-
mored that such notable speakers as
DR.. B. T. Washington and President
Taft would be notified that they were
expected to speak to the Convention.
The regular custom in making these
programs seems to have been carried

NATIONAL THEOLOGICAL SEM
MARY.

New life has been injected into the
educational feature of the National
Baptist Convention. According to
statements heard after the Education
al Board meeting, which was called
here by Rev. T. ]. Searcy, Chairman
of the Board, who has shown his de-
termination. to get results, this de-
partment of the Convention, whose
main object seems to be the open
ing of the Theological Seminary, will
really result in the end sought. The
Board was called to meet in connec1
ton with the Sunday-School Congress.
In response to the call of DR.. T..
]. Searcy, of Memphis, states were
represented at this meeting which
have not usually represented even at
the annual meetings. This is attrib-
uted to the interest DR.. Searcy has
taken in the management of the
board. 1t will be remembered that
when DR.. Klugh, the last secretary,
whose resignation was accepted at
this meeting, attempted to move the
headquarters from Nashville a strong
protest was made, but Dr.. Searcy took
the matter up with the board and to-
gether with the state agitation and
the pressure brought to bear by Nash
vile people, headquarters will remain
in this city. This alone is not re-
sponsible for the outlook, it is the
election of Rev. A. N. McEwen, of
Mobile, Ala, whose work as an organ
izer and builder stands out for itself.
Then. too, it was learned that the
board members have pledged their
various districts to educational work
and with the plan on foot one thou
sand dollars will be raised before the
meeting of the annual convention in
September and this long-talked-of
Theological Seminary Will m%aterialize
and Nashville will be the prouder as
we'll as the possessor of another ed
vocational institution. DR.. McEwen is
known to most of the Tennessee peo
ple,-in fact and reality, his member
ship has been with the Mt. Zion Bap
fist Church, of this city. for more
than thirty years, thus he has never
been entirely cut loose from Nash
ville's religious forces. He also spent
a few years at Tullahoma. His cleo
ton as Educational Secretary witt
his known ability as a financier, {
ready speaker with wit and tact, i
properly supported, is calculated tt
help the school, and, according to the
good Baptist brethren who were II
Nashville last week, will succeed il
getting the fifteen thousand dollars
promised by the Home Mission So
ciety, of New York, which is regarded
as only a part of what they will dc
for the national work. The location
of the school, so far as the nationa
phase is concerned, is already a mat
ter of record and Nashville was Sc
lected. Now it develops that the
buildings and grounds will possibly
be on the Eastside, but none of this
could be brought out, as 10 n of the
Educational Board members would
talk, and DR.. Searcy could not bC
cornered to give a definite reply. The
headquarters of the Educational Sec
rotary will be in this city not only il

Falls Creek Herald
Will Soon Suspend
Editor Bangert States Reason
For Suspension In Very
Plain Language.

In the last issue OF the Falls Creek
Herald the statement was made that
the paper would be suspended in the
near future and the office would be con-
tinued for job printing only. In the
announcement of suspension letter
was printed from a subscriber request
ing his paper discontinued on account
of the stand the Herald has taken on
the local option or prohibition ques-
tion, and Editor Bangert says: "The
receipt OF dozens-perhaps hundred
letters similar to the above, and my
belief that newspaper that advocates
those things which are intended
to benefit the liquor interests can
live only by the support Of those
who are engaged in the liquor busi-
ness, convince me that the usefulness
OF the Herald has been destroyed, so
the Herald In the near future will be
suspended, the Office continuing for job
printing-as was intended when origin
ally established.
"Some few Of the liquor dealers who
induced the publication Of paper that
would oppose local option and pro-
hibtion have kept their promises with
me-others have not"

citizen of Reynoldsville. This is not
the dream of fanatic but is the inven-
tion OF a man who has had twenty years
experience in the natural gas business
and has given the matter very careful
study. The Simmons Gas Mixer has
been submitted to men of even longer
experience in the gas business than
Mr.. Simmons has had and they pro-
nounce it to be superior to any other
gas mixer they have ever seen. Z
The Simmons Gas Mixer is not an ex-
pertinent, it has been thoroughly tested
and has given entire satisfaction. The
principal feature of this improved mix
er is the saving in gas bills.
The Simmons Gas Mixer is that type
OF mixer in which there is employed a
tube adapted to be connected to source
OF gas at one end and adapted to be con-
nected to a burner at the opposite end,
and having within the tube helical
