KNOWS HIS DUTY.

Says D. A Tate, one of the County
High School Commission, in letter
to the Hustler; 81 have been ap'
preached by some people in my home
town and contiguous territory with
the proposition that l must make a
desperate fight for South Pittsburg.
This is offensive to me. l am acting
for the entire county, and unless
South Pittsburg puts up the goods
and makes her proposition at least
equal to that of any other locality, all
things considered, shall not vote for
South Pittsburg.
Good That's the kind of talk we
like to hear. Here is a man who evil
IDENTIFY cannot be purchased. He is 60
ing to do his duty in the matter, and
evidently sees where his duty lies.

Don't Endorse Him

Editor News:
Citizen. of South Pittsburg, wri-
ting to the Hustler, says that the Bat
tie Creek and Sweeden's Cove people
would prefer to go to South Pittsburg
to attend the High School. We differ
considerably with him. From the
junction of the Battle Greek and main
valley pixies it is only a small differ
ence in time spent travelling to go to
Jasper as to go to South Pittsburg,
and the route is much more pleasant,
for there is not the "Reminiscences of a
killing every hundred yards or so after
you pass the Battle Creek bridge.
Citizen" also mentions patronage of
South Pittsburg merchants in adver-
Using accorded Bro. Darr, of the
Statesman Democrat. If Bro. Darn s
fairness depended on their patronage in
his columns that we have noted, he
would be a living skeleton now.

ANSWERING HUSTLER'S ARGU-
MENT AND ERROR.

II
The South Pittsburg Hustler con,
tanned last week editorials attacking
the News and the Statesman Demo,
crat as well, for their stand endorsing
| the High School commission in setting
a date nearly month off at the time
of their first meeting for the reception
of propositions, and we propose to de-
| fend ourselves against the attack, SEN
tence by sentence.
obviously, says the Hustler, the
Seouachee News and the Jasper States
man Democrat think to curry favor
with the county high school commits
sion in its action in rushing the decis
ion of the High School location.
Not at all for our part. At the time
the editorial was written there appar-
emily was not a ghost of chance for a
proposition from Sequachee. Every
thing had been turned down by the
proprietors
"The truth is says the Hustler,
"South Pittsburg is PREPARED
with genuine bona fide proposition. I"
And yet, in the same issue of the
Hustler, we find an article urging the
citizens of South Pittsburg to come
out and formulate a proposition. 1t
reads as follows:
cat this meeting plans for submit
ting to the county board a bona fide
proposition from this city WILL BE
FORMTTI ,ATED -
An editorial paragraph in same pa
per says:
sat the citizens mass meeting
next Monday night LET US FORMU-
LATE South Pittsburg's claims. .
II South Pittsburg's claims were
formulated why this howl against the
commission2 If they are not formu-
lated, why did the Hustler say, "the
truth is South Pittsburg is PREPAR-
ED with genuine bona fide PROPOSE
ton. p These statements don't agree
Again we quote:
Further, we are reliably informed
that the Sequachee News soon after
the first meeting of the board, opposed
the board 8 action in fixing Jan. goth
as date for deciding upon location,
and Editor Hill stated that his col
umns would condemn this proceed
ing"
The party who gave the Hustler that
''reliable information" was simply a
graduate of Prof Ananias' district
school. We never said word con-
demning the date set, the Goth inst.
but we did say that ten days, as men
toned at first, was too short time.
If community can't get up propo-
sition in nearly months time, then
It hasn't business men enough in it to
get up one at all that would be worth
As for announcing that
the News would condemn this proceed
ng", that is another of Prof. Ana
Mas untruths. We never once
thought of condemning the commission
'or setting the goth. We were in JAS

we're favored with a copy Of their no.

lor at any time thereafter. We would
ike very much to know who the fell

yarding the News. We don't change
ront so easily, as the Hustler insin-
lates.

The Hustler printed some pretty
rank stuff about Jasper last week. To
our mind Jasper is as good as any
town in the valley and the News is
glad to say that it has large number
whom it esteems there. In fact, there
are but few in that place who have
proven themselves other than good
citizens, to our mind A county seat
always gets credit for more wrong
dealing than its citizens commit be-
cause some people get easily disgrunt-
led at officials

builling in which to house it. While
we are an outsider and have nothing

likelih ood is, however, that it will go
either 60 Jasper or South Pittsburg.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-05-13

''Poor New Brit.'' That is becoming a household word in the home of ev- cry fan around the circuit. Tester day they dropped their ninth stright game of the season, a grand record. But they are getting better, for their opponents yesterday did not win un- til after a hard struggle, and a great rally The Cubebs started with rush against the Mechanics at Newfield. They unripped package of two runs in the first and bundled another across in the second. which gave the inn pression to the fans that the Cubebs really intended to salt the contest away Bridgeport got one back in the first playing in the rear till the stretch inning, when grand batting rally forged them to the front. In regularity, lacing in enough runs to just win the game, the final sheets telling us the Mechanics were in the lead 4-3.
 The game was one full of thrills. Two attempts were made to steal home, each being a contributor, put they were unsuccessful, being out on close decisions. That seventh inning rally was one of great excitement, the third base bleacherS being a storm Of swaying bodies. There was the best kind of pitching by Freddie Gibbs, while the fielders contributed their lit tie mite. New Brit ripped off double plays. but neither of them had it on the double of Ladd and Kocher. Yes, and Ump Walsh again exhibited that nerve which makes him valu- able acquisition to any game. The ump might have been a little off on some of his decisions, but both teams suffered so, what is the use. The hgh strung nerves of Shorty Needham could not stand the strain in the lucky seventh, that player batting the um- pire. Needham rushed all over the field, first to one player and then to another. Finally Walsh walked up to him and informed him that he was out of the game, and to get to the bench. Words followed, Needham put ting his hands as if to show resistance. Walsh who was masked at the time, threw that protector to the ground. calling Needham's bluff. The bluff on Needham's part cost him ". When he did not get off the grounds quick enough, Walsh walked to the bench telling that he had three sec onds to get out, or be separated from another " The fans also had a lit- tie fun in the first inning, when Joe Connor did not take kindly to one of Walsh's decisions and told him SO. The umD trleQ LO tell Joe now IL nap pened. but Joe retorted T don't want to listen to you.'' But I want to say something to you,'' said Walsh. .'Ten it to the King of Denmark, !" shouted back Joe, 'I won't have any thing to do with you.'' This is brief say of what happened at the classy contest Were you one of the watch CTS? Well then you missed the most exciting game so far this season.
 Hardy was hit hard by the Mechan- ics, but the hits were punched in only one inning. Freddie Gibbs tossed a masterly game, allowing but five hits. None of the three New Bri- tain guns were earned.
 The Cubebs scored all their runs in the two front innings. Gibbs for a teaser allowed Hummer an amble. Waterman's suicide moved Hummer up a peg Needham hit to right, Hummer beating Eley's wing in by a fraction, Needham going on to sec ond. Needham took advantage of
