WOODMEN
RALLY BIG
SUCCESS
Visitors Go Away Singing
the Praise OF
ChiCkaSha

When the host Of Modern Woodmen
OF American assembled last night, the
big X. p. hall was filled to overflow
ing. In spite Of the disagreeable
weather, the county rally was sue
cessful beyond anticipations.
I'VE have had a great time, Chick
asha's hospitality Is unbounded," We
want to come again. "You couldn't
have done more for us were senti-
ments echoed and reechoed by half
dozen Of the prominent visitors in
speeches made near the close Of the
meeting and the same song was on
the lips of every delegate.
It was estimated that there were
over 800 Woodmen in the hall when
the lodge went into session at
O'Clock. D. f. Emerson. clerk of the
local camp, gave the visitors a most
cordial welcome in a neat speech
which provoked prolonged applause
The Lawton team then went to bat
in uniform, giving drill that evoked
the admiration of every one, moving
with the precision of military veter-
ans They then took charge of one Of
the candidates and exemplified the
beautiful ritualistic work of the or
der in the same sklful manner. It is
difficult to conceive Of better drill
team.
! The NARROW team then put the trim
mings on the victim to the entire sat
isfaction Of the crowd and the local
team added few extra touches that
made the performance perfect in ev-
cry detail.
In the talkfest which began about
midnight, Representatives of the Ana
darko camp who were on hand with
their team in uniform, MARROW, Yer
den, Amber, Ninnekah. Apache and
Lawton were heard Or. c. e. Boyd
who headed the Marlow bunch was
particularly warm in his praise Of
Chickasha and he made a speech
which was happy hit. Deputy Wells
Of Lawton called attention to the
striking growth Of the order and
pointed to Grady county as one of the
banner sections in Woodcraft
The visitors were shown the sights
Of the city during a street car ride
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and the
parade and drill Of the Lawton and
Marlow teams at ) o'clock attracted
much favorable comment.
The class adopted consisted Of 200
men from Chickasha and other towns
in the county.

The Bible is Still
the Best Seller

Chicago, March 29 mo best
seller since the Bible was first print
ed has ever equaled it in number Of
copies circulated
That is one reason urged by Henry
b. r. MacFarland, former United
states commissioner for the District
Of Columbia, before the Sunday Even
ing club. why all should read the
Bible.
During 1909 nearly 13 million cop
les Of the Bible were sold by the
principal church publishing houses"
he said, and million were sold by
commercial houses. The total number
for 1910 exceeds 20 million
"The Modern best seller next to the
Bible, was Uncle Toms Cabin. In
1852, the year after its publication,
three hundred thousand copyrighted
copies and lla million copies from pi-
rated editions were sold, according to
the librarian Of the congressional IL
brary. During the last century 3ll
million copies Of the Bible have been
sold, and it is now translated into $40
languages, while Uncle Toms Cabin
is found in % languages.
The speaker said that while the
Bible is now more widely read than
ever before, ignorance Of it among The
so called educated classes is astound-
ing. He said college students in the
upper classes usually were unable to
understand the simplest allusions in
literature to Bible facts. He empha-
sized the fact that the Bible is the
foundation OF English literature and
must be known before any other clas-

Sunday School Division Will Be En-
Iarged By Addition OF Fourteen
Class Rapid Growth Of
School Demands Enlargement.

The very important and substantial
enlargement of the First Baptist church
building in addition of fourteen rooms
as a Sunday school annex has been
fully assured in the amount subscrib-
ed Sunday morning by the congrega-
ton and Sunday school for that puf-
pose.
Within the brief space of half hour,
perhaps. two thousand dollars was
quickly subscribed, thus fully assur-
ing the annex, though still a small
additional sum is needed.
This amount, hoWeVer-only $500
will be raised in due season. In the
collection taken Sunday half dozen
members Of the congregation gave 500
each, while others gave $50 and smaller
sums. In the Sunday school alone
over 81 500 was subscribed.

school, which in very recent years has
doubled its membership, rem 'ared nee

WEAK PITCHING MARKS THE
SALLY LEAGUE THIS SEASON
(Iarry Dodd in Savannah Morning News)

feats having been attributable more
to the failure of his teammates to sup,
ply a few runs than to any weakness
on his own part.
Steele and Schultz have yet to show
that they are as good as they We're
last season. Both have figured in
good games this season, and at times
have displayed flashes of their old
form, but since being pitted against
the stronger teams of the league they
have not given the impression that
they are up to the standard they set
in the last campaign.
With Scheneberg also pitching in and
out ball, it is not altogether surpris-
| ing that Savannah has dropped from
the first division, for the team is not
hitting when hits are most needed and
under such conditions only air tight
pitching could possibly win.
Few of those who have followed the
| performances of the club since the
start of the season are dismayed over
prevailing conditions, for it is to be
expected that it will pick up sooner D.
later. With its pitchers going badly it
is only natural that the team has not
shown up as we'll in the games against
Columbus and Macon as it did against
those of Columbia and Charleston.
With Schultz and Steele back in form,
it is probable that the club will pre-
sent an entirely different front, but
until such time it is not going to cut
much of figure in the race.

That oft repeated cry of weak pitch
ing is going up in several of the points
around the Sally League circuit just
at present and many of the players
and fans are of the opinion that more
than one of the teams which have been
hitting at a terrific rate of late will
fall off once the warm weather sets IN
and the pitchers get to going right.
The Savannah twirling staff is IN
der form at the present time and the
same holds true of Macon, although
the Offensive strength of the latter
club has in a great measure offset the
weakness of its pitchers. With the
possible exception of Robertson, not
single one Of the Savannah pitchers
! is delivering in the style expected Of
them at the outset of the race 1t
is probable that the unsettled condi-

much to do with their failure to show
