Mr. PertilI, the secretary of the
Commercial Club, then took the
floor and stated that any questions
the members might desire to ask
would be answered by Mr.. Connor
or Mr.. Anderson. Replying to this,
Mr.. Densel. the cashier of the Stock
growers Bank, asked, ''Will the pro-
ject be perfected under the Carey
Act?" To which Mr.. COnnor an
swered, "Yes."
c. B. Faraday then took the floor
and made a few remarks about the
Carey Act
The discussion then became lively,
and both Mr.. Connor and Mr.. Ander-
son spent a busy forty minutes or so
in answering the various questions
propounded by those present, after
which Mayor Whitson, Mr.. Chattan,
Mr.. Pertill, Mr. Faraday and others
took the floor and expressed them
selves as being in favor of any COM
pany which would put the water on
the land and benefit the district.
The matter of putting in a water
works system was urged by several
of the members. among them being
Mr. Helfridge and Mr. Goddard, who
TEN at once, and asked whether the
principals represented by Mr.. Connor
and Mr. Anderson would figure on
putting in the system at once, to
which Mr.. Connor replied that their
company desired to handle all as one
proposition, but that he would report
favorably to the company on an i'm
mediate water system.
Mr. Anderson then addressed the
meeting, after which the session was
adjourned by Mr. Pertill.
Before adjourning, Mr.. Swan took
the floor and, after various questions
which were answered by Mr.. Ander-
son to his satisfaction. stated that
he was member of the Water Users
association. and said that. speaking
for himself and the association, he
wished to heartily endorse the pro-
ject and that, for his part, he was
certain the association would meet
any proposition halfway
Mr. Anderson then took up the
discussion Of the relation of the Carey
act to the land owners and the water
company.
The result of the meeting was the
unanimous endorsement of the prop
osition as outlined by Mr.. Connor and
Mr. Anderson Both these gentle
men, when interviewed at the close
of the meeting, expressed their sur
prise and qualification at the large
attendance present, which. through a
misunderstanding, was not called by
the president of the Commercial Club
but which was secured through the
efforts of Mr. Pertill, Mr.. TruxtoI
Talbot editor of the Maverick, Mayor
Whitson and others prominent in this
city.
The meeting was undoubtedly the
most interesting and one of the bes
attended ever held in the Commercial
Club rooms, and evidenced the deeI
interest which all take in the de
velopment of this locality and the
town of Mountain Home.
Mr. Connor and Mr.. Anderson lef
for the west on the 3: : a. m. train
and stated that action would b'
taken at once. and. judging from
their statement that the option OF
the power plant would be closed a
, once. we may wen believe it.

Memphis Conference.

Paducah, KY. Nov. 15.-The Mem

pal Church, South, was formally opened
tonight, when Rev. Robert II. Mahon,

the semi-centennial sermon, which was
also the semi-centennial sermon of his
ministry. Rev. Mahon is serving his
fiftieth year as minister, and he is one
of the oldest members of the conference.
The sermon was exceptionally interest
ing to Paducahans, as Rev. Mahon was
pastor here twenty-five years ago, sever
al years previous to the erection of the
handsome $75, 900 stone church in
which he preached tonight. He dealt
principally with historical facts, relating
to the conference and his life as min
lister. Following the sermon sacrament

Bishop w. A. CHAMBER, Of Atlanta,

THAT Sacrifice Hit

One of the essentials in the present
system of playing baseball is the sac
rifice hit. Just as many games are
lost by the inability of some bats
man to move a base-runner up as the
absence of the timely hit. Yet it is
only on rare occasions that one sees a
batsman play the string out when he
is up TO sacrifice.
Usually if he has two strikes as the
result of fouling the ball he will hit
at the next over, thus falling to ad-
vance his man or hitting into double
play, and, of course, occasionally get
ting a base hit. But the percentage is
against his hitting safely. so why
should he not try to bunt the third
time? If he strikes out he has elimi-
mated the possibility of double play.
He stands just as good a chance to
bunt the third ball as the first. and. in
cidentaliy, he stands a chance to beat
q bunt out, for with two strikes the
infield always moves back, because a
bunt is not expected. and il the ball
is rolled down either base line even
an ordinary runner could beat the
throw to first.

Echo of the Fight

Just a little more ABOUT the fight
of a century"
Although the Jeffries- johnson fight is
now a matter Of history and people
have grown tired of reading of it..
there are few important facts con-
nected with this great enga cement that
the public has never learned and will
no doubt be pleased to learn. Facts
are facts, no matter whom they boost
or knock
There is no getting around facts.
although certain persons who saw the
fight and wrote OF it have made it their
business since to make excuses for
Jeffries. There are no excuses to make.
He lost. and in a square battle. He
was beaten by a man far superior In
fighting ability. and he should take
his defeat gracefully and without al
lowing the numerous articles to be
printed about his being doped and
other false accusations.
II will be noticed that those who
are making these excuses for Jeffries
are those who are afraid of being
dubbed enemies of the white race II
they come out and frankly admit that
they were afraid all along that JEFF
fries did not have the ability to show
against a man far superior to him in
fighting ability and whose courage
was not more open to doubt than his
own.

Aggressiveness forms one of the most
important qualifications necessary to
make a ball team a consistent winner.
A club without dash and spirit is ike
pitcher with a glass arm. And every
individual man in the team contributes
his share of aggressiveness.
Nothing discomforts an opposing
pitcher so much as to note that the
other team is on their toes ready to
take advantage of a single misplay and
seemingly confident that they are about
to start rally.
When a twirler gets the idea into
his head that the opposing team has
lost their goat" Immediately he is i'm
bued with a large measure of conf
dence, and the result is everything he
delivers. from dope" ball to speedy
in-shoot, is an enigma to the batters.

parently confident of starting some
thing. many pitchers will work more
carefully and anXiously. which ire
quently results in the passing OF

twirler is in a nervous and cautious
frame of mind.
1t is well to be up and swinging a
couple Of bats when on deck" even
though there are two outs and the possi-
bilities are that the next man will per-

worries the pitcher, but has the infield
a trifle nervous, and in that way many
a team has come out ahead when SEEM

Aggressiveness on the coaching lines
