There are scores of almost mirac-

In critical moments. by which base
ball games have been WON says the
Old Timer.
lon one occasion Jimmy Ryan, OF
Anson's White Stockings, leaped en-
tirely over the bleacher barrier In the
right field at Washington, and caught
fly ball while falling into the crowd.
One OF the greatest exhibitions OF
nerve and courage OF that sort was
given by Hughie Jennings, now man
ager Of Detroit, in a game at Chicago,
when he was playing short stop for
the famous old Baltimore team. The
crowd had encircled the playing field,
and was surging closer and closer 10

MAGNATE'S DEATH BLOCKED
PLAN TO POOL PLAYERS

One sweeping innovation that, but
for the death OF Frank de Hass Robi
son. would long ago have been pre-
sented to the major league magnates
for their deliberate consideration, con
templating sort of baseball pooling
arrangement under which the players
would be shifted about from city to
city instead OF playing on one club
as some men now do-from the time
their usefulness begins until II ends.
Mr. Robisons idea was to present a
rule, which. If adopted in 1910. would
become effective In 1913. When the
rule went into force the club owners
would meet and make a general trade
OF players. not one man remaining on
the team for which he had been play

In 1916; again I'm 1919 and so on.

MARRYING no REFORM i FAILURE


"T'll not ride in an ambulance along
side Of him. said Mrs. Garner He's
been a drinker ever since he was 13,
and / always fought off marrying him.
Six years ago he pleaded so hard
gave in and married him, thinking l
would be his savior, but he started
right in drinking again, and he has
been abusing me, my father, mother
and brother ever since. Marrying a
drinker to reform him is a failure"
This was the expression of a. Buff
falo woman who was shot the other
day by her husband who was in one of
his drunken frenzies
The moral of the story is too apar-
ent, it would seem, to need the direct
ing of especial attention to it. 1t is
plainly this, and it applies to every
girl, don't marry a drunkard, or a
heavy drinker, with the idea that you
are going to convert him into a sober
man The chances are only about one
out of hundred that he will not lead
you a miserable, unhappy, and prob
ably poverty stricken life before he is
through with you.
AS Mrs. Garner said in the ambul-
ance as they drove to the hospital to
extract the bullet her husband had
sent into her, Marrying a drinker to
reform him is a failure" If every
girl would study that sentence, inn
press it deeply on her mind, keep re-
peating it continually, and make it the
dominating influence of her life when
it comes to matrimony and the con-
sideration of the drinking man, this
world would see less domestic trag-
edies, it would see less misery in the
household, fewer women old in their
youth, fewer children deprived of the
comforts and advantages they should
naturally possess. Reforming the
drinking man is SO decidedly failure
as a general proposition that the rare
exceptions can hardly afford to count
when a girl is coming to a decision
whether to marry one or not.

SOUTH GEORGIA WILL soon
CONTROL.

South Georgia puts enough mon
ey in the state treasury every
year to get something besides flat
terry and promises in return. But
that will be about all we will ever
get until we make up our minds
to stand fatfo0ted and pun for
the interests of our section-The
Valdosta Times
The section of Georgia that is going
to show the greatest progress for the
ten years, 1900-10, is unquestionably
South and Southwest Georgia, the sec
ton south Of a line drawn from Angus
ia to Columbus. In this Sst district,
a kingdom iu itself, there has been the
greatest development. Here popuIa-
ton and wealth have grown enormous
ly, here land by the tens of thousands
Of acres has been brought under cult
vaaon, here everything that tells for
thS plift of a people in material pros
perity exists and is being utilized as
never before.
South Georgia has been so busy de-
yeloping its powers as a wealth pro-
ducing section that it has had but lit
tie time to fool with state politics. It's
men of ability have concentrated their
attention on other things than office
chasing and office holding. AS a result
their influence in state politics has not
been commensurate with the import-
ance Of their section. But all that IS
going to change now. The sceptre OF
political control is undoubtedly goins
to drop from the hands of North Geor-
gia into those of South Georgia. And
once South Georgia bestirs itself to
take control of state affairs it will re-
tain control. The strides this section
is going to makAin the next ten years
will be UNNECESSARILY greater even
than the wonderful progress of the
past ten. The result is inevitable
North Georgia must fall into a position
Of inferiority It must yield the palm
to South Georgia.
When the day comes, and it is closer
at hand than North Georgia politicians
anticipate, South Georgia will prob
ably be a little more generous, display
more kindness of heart toward Its
brethren Of the hills. than they have
done toward this section The hoggish
procliyities that have marked North
Georgia politicians for many years is
not one of the characteristics of the
men of this section. While well de-
served fate for North Georgia would
be to make it eat of the crumbs. or dc
without, for a half century to come
there viii be no disposition in South
Georgia to unduly punish them fo1
their gouging propensities of the past
They viii be allowed to have a slice
but a slice only, and not the whole
cake.
Yes, South Georgia's day is at hand
South Georgia will soon be in the sad
die politically as it has long been in
other ways. A few Of it's enormous
counties may have to be divided UP to
meet the conditions growing out OF
their vast increase in population. 9th
ers will necessarily have their repre-
sentation in the legislature increased.
And when it comes to the popular vote
this section will soon be in position to
submerge North Georgia. Better days
are ahead for Georgia, when South
Georgia controls.

To catch a smile in it's tiny cup.
