Dear Daddy Jim:-Here [ come
for the first time, and if this finds the
way to the waste basket, l will write
no more. Papa takes The Jefferson
ian, and l enjoy reading Daddy Jims
page. Dewey Campbell says that his
father raises corn, cotton, potatoes
and peanuts. My papa is a school
teacher, and raises more "black
gums than anthing else. With best
wishes to the Jeffersonians, Little
Pat Johnston, Sylvania, Ga.
Don't say you won't write any

DADDY JIM AT A PICNIC.

There were a picnic and other
things last week at Williams Greek,
near Norwood, Georgia. Mr. and
Mrs. Daddy Jim were invited, and
went. Everything and everybody
was delightful. The exercises by the
school-children, under the leader
ship of their good teacher, Miss
Kate Henry, were excellently done.
Daddy Jim made a short talk about
the Sunny South Brotherhood, and
then there was some mighty good
chicken, cake and pie, to be dis
cussed. After that, there was an egg
hunt, and an egg-and-spOOn race. So
great was the interest taken in the
latter, that it broke up the crowd of
men who were trying to organize a
Jeffersonian Club. Finally it was
agreed to hold a meeting on the fol-
lowing Wednesday, at the Ebenezer
School House, in Warren County, to
form a club, and there is no doubt
that it will be one Of the strongest
clubs in Georgia. Among the organ
izers will be Messrs. G.. G.. Crawley,
W. I. Harris, J. r. Harris, J. w. Hill,
W. H. Harper, J. R. Perry, and Wat
son Perry.

FROM THE LAND OF GOSHEN

Dear Daddy Jim: AS I haven't
seen any letters from the Land of
Goshen, where Mr. Watson's wife
went to school when she was a little
girl, and where each and every one
loves Mr.. and Mrs. Watson. I

way, and hope it will escape the
waste basket. [ am a little girl
twelve years old. | will send you a
riddle, and I will bet you can't guess
it: Fruit of England, flower of
Spain, met together in a shower of
rain; put in a sack, tied with a
string; if you guess this riddle, I'll
give you a ring.-Your little friend,
Leila Willoughby, Rt. 2, Watkins

Of you write a nice little letter,
like this, you need never be afraid of

HIS FIRST LETTER.

Dear Daddy im:-Here comes a
little ten-year-old boy from Mont

State of Georgia. My papa takes

I go to school, and am in the fourth

teacher, and a good one, too. My
papa is a farmer, and makes fine
crops. I live within a few miles of

GRIFFITH SAYS BESCHFR
Is FASTER Than IY COBB
Thinks Cincinnati Fielder Will
be Champion Base Stealer
This Year
STOLE 81 BAGS LAST SEASON

Cincinnati. O.. May 25.-Clark Grif-
fith OF the reds believes in Bob Bes-
cher, his speedy. as well as hefty, left
fielder, he will again have the cham
pion base stealer of the country this
season. Although performing i'm but
III games last season Bescher easily
topped the sack plferers. He swiped
flftyfo pillows. This is almost at
Ty Cobb's rate.
Much has been said about the rela-
tive merits as base runners OF Bes-
cher, the National leagues star, and
Tyrus Cobb, the best man on the
paths In the American league. Accord
ing to Griffith, Bescher is the Tigers
superior.
And Bescher's records bears Griffith
out. Bescher made 107 hits last sea-
son and swiped fifty-four bases. Cobb
raped out PIG hits, more than twice
as many as the red, and stole seventy
six bases. That gives Bescher the
better of the work by a big per cent
age. For II Bescher got on first base
as often as Cobb there's no telling
Il
what he might do.
"Bescher is off to n good start again
| this season." stated Griffith. And
he's q young fellow and will improve
whole lot. His batting record last
season was .240. Still he led the league
easily. It's no trick at all for him to
steal a base.
"He accomplishes all his work In
his start. He's off faster than any
other player in the business Then ar
ter he gets going he has as mucf
speed as the next fellow. II he can bal
| $50 or better this year he will be one
OF the best players I'm the game
Bescher joined the Cincinnati clut
i'm the fall of the 1909 season. He was
obtained from the Dayton (Centra
league) club. He played in majority
of the games last season for the REDS
i'm left field. The remarkable part OF
his work is the fact that he's such
big fellow to possess such remarkable
speed. A little football playing in MS
early career is the only experience ne
has had in sprinting or running. Ac-
cording to Griffith he's just natural
born runner.

San Francisco, May 25,-The All
American Rugby football team, which
has left for Australia. though not by
any means thoroughly representa-
tive team, is a really good one, ana
the managers are deserving OF great
credit for the men they have selected
This applies with only one or two ex-
ceptions, as certain of the men had
to be selected to make up the quota,
when the original men failed to ac-
cept the invitation. Several of the
really best rugby players in this coun-
try Guild not for various reasons make
such an extended trip and the selec-
tors had then to do the next best
thing and fill their places with the
next best remaining players.
The forwards are a fine lot and VIII
take a lot of beating.
The backs will be greatly handi-
capped against the fast and tricky
backs of the different Australian
teams. Another weakness of the
backs is the lack of experience of sew
eral
The inexperienced men will be cas-
ilv picked out by the Australian meh
and their attack will be devoted TO
these points where the weakness Is
apparent.
The forwards are heavy lot and in
this respect they will have an advan-
tage over their Australian opponents.
A weight advantage in rugby is not
always the same advantage that 1t
invariably means in the intercolle-
giate code of football In the latter
style of game weight is very essential
and yet in rugby many of the best
players are extremely small. In rugby
countries a very heavy man seldom is
given the chances that n lighter man
is. and If some of the big men play
ing rugby here were TO play in other
countries their ability would be doubt
cd. Horton, Dole and many of the
other forwards will bring forth eX-
pressions of admiration and wonder
from the spectators i'm Australia, as
such large men are not looked upon as

If the forwards can best their OPP
ponents for the ball I'm the serum ana
get 1t out to their halfback, then they
will have done good work and 1t WIN
be up to the backs to continue with
the advantage that their forwards
have given them. Just whether the
backs are capable of fully continuing
with the advantage gained remains 10
be seen.
The whole team is very enthusiastic

None of them fully realizes what such

Comet Not Dangerous.

The plunging of the earth in the
tail Of Hally's comet naturally caus

effect upon the inhabitants of the
earth. Similar passages occurred in
1919 and 1861, but no one was the
wiser untillong after. Some astrono-
mers claimed tn have noticed auro-
raj glares and meteoric displays at
the time, but whether these were real
~ associated with the comet or not
cannot definitely be stated. At all
events, it may be safely held that on
May 18 next none of us will be aware
of the fact that we are literally breath
ing the tail Of HALEY comet. From
this it may well be inferred that the
wild tales of the possible effects of
poisonous gases, tales for which the
newspapers are very largely respon-
sible, are utterly without foundation
1t is true that comets tail is CON-
posed OF poisonous and asphyxiat-
ing hydrocarbon vupors and cyano-
gen; but 1t is also true that the actu-
al amount Of toxic vapor is SO small
that when the earth il brushed by
the tail of Halley's comet the CON-
position of the atmosphere will not
he SO affected that a chemist could
detect it. Flammarion has drawn a
vivid picture in his ala Fin du
Monde" Of the possible effect Of pass
ing through a tail highly charged
with vnpors. He has shown us ter
rified humanity gasping for breath
in it's death struggle with capbon
monoxide gas, killed off with merci-
full swiftness by cyanogen, and dane
ing joyously to an anesthetic death,
produced by the conversion of the
atmosphere into nitrus oxide or
dentists Laughing gas" No one of
any common sense should be alarm
ed by these Nightmares, particularly
when it is considered that SO dia-
phanously thin is comets tail that
stars can be seen through it without
diminution in brightness.-Scientiic
