cross says:
Baseball enthusiasts of Waycross

sional ball are determined that this
shall be the last season without an
organized team. Either the old Geor-
gia State League will be revived and
put into operation early next year or a
league with cities of South Georgia and
North Florida will be organized and
launched in 1912.
All the cities desiring baseball can
not jump. into the South Atlantic
League at once if at all, hence the
natural thing ahead of the fans is 4
new league and one with such salary
limitations as will permit the smaller
cities going in for good baseball.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed. deafness is the result, and unless
this Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
hut an indamed condition of the mu-
cOus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused ny
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-

WILL AMERICAS JOIN I'm A
SOUTH GEORGIA BALL LEAGUE?

ValdOsta and Brunswick, to say moth
ing of Waycross, Cordele, Fitzgerald
and probably Americas would join
hands in getting up a speedy league
Other places with plenty of ginger have
been mentioned as probable assistants
in organizing.
Population statistics and railroad
facilities of all places suggested indi
cate that live team would draw we'll
and that expenses AMI something over
could we'll be made in a season not
drawn out too long.
Conferences with the principal
hackers have been held recently and
the same opinion prevails-that South
Georgia cities must be provided with
baseball and that the necessary steps
to furnish the sport must not be delay
ed into another season. A general
meeting of those interested will be
held in Waycross or Fitzgerald in the
near future and committee appointed
to prepare detailed information looking
to the perfection in the fall of a league
that will be classy and pay dividends
also.

THE PRINCE OF PEACE AND
HISSERMONTOT HEWORLT

(By Rev. Henry Van Dyke, D. ID
If Jesus of Nazareth ruled today in
every human heart there would be no
need of peace societies, for the reign
of love would be universal and the
memory of war would be like bad
dream.
But the golden age is not yet here!
1t is only on the way, and coming
slowly. Meantime there are evil pas
sions unsubdued in many heart. Men
deal with one another unfairly and I'M
kindly. Nations are tempted by envy
and jealousy, swayed by motives Of
pride and greed, suddenly swept 3y
anger or revenge into the tierceness Of
immense mortal conflicts AS are
the individuals, SO is the race. The
earth-man, who is animal, struggles
with the man from heaven, who is
spiritual and from this struggle lly
the sparks which kindle the flames Of
wars and fighting among us.
Here. in this still untamed, tumult-
uous region of human nature, lie the
great opportunities and the noble
function of all peace societies. Their
aim is to stand between the half-de-
veloped heart of man and the cruel,
wasteful consequences of its own hot
anger and rash folly. Three things
they seek to do practically:
First-They would dissuade nations
from making their preparations for
war so great and costly that they be-
cone temptations to use them to proev
their value or pay their cost.
Second-They would gain time be-
tween the flying of the sparks Of pas
sion. and the bursting of The flame Of
strife, in the hope that the fire may
die for want of fuel.
Third-They would persuade men
t4at what cdlltu iHLeIHdIlOudl war
is really fraternal strife after all and
that a question between human beings
can never be truly settled by brute
force, but only by right reason and
justice.
Does not Christ, the Man Of Peace,
look upon these aims and efforts with
divine approval? Do they not prepare
the way for the coming of that
crowned republic Of God in which they
will be no more needed because war
viii be unthinkable? The church Of
Jesus ought to be the greatest of all
peace societies, AMI as a true friend to
all the rest.
