county owns a good jail, another good

stores and offices rented, and an assem-

gatherings of every kind and for politi-
cal meetings; and a good building in
Waynesboro for use of magistrates and
other county officials. Then the county
has a lot of fine roads, all built without

ing of pride among the farmers in the
fact that the county runs on q strictly
cash basis.
But the county is building only about
eight or ten miles of good roads a year

the county yearly puts on the roads.

1t is regarded by many as economy to
make the loan.

Constitutions of the various states.
especially the newer ones, present an
almost bewildering variety as to powers
and duties. While in some respects
this may be an Inconvenience, yet in
others it may have its value. In the
nature of the case made-to-order con-
situations are good deal of an expert
meut, and possibly as the result of their
operation an ideal constitution may at
last be evolved.

Mr.. Carnegie is probably ihht when
he says that most of the difficulties be-
tween employees and employers have
their origin in the unwise officiousness
and attitude of many superintendent
and foremen, and that they would not
occur if employers and men had a bet
ter personal acquaintance with each
other. That lack of personal knowledge
of one another is one of the great de-
fects of our modern industrial system
The old order of industrialism had its
bad features unquestionably, but one
thing in its favor, due to the much
smaller number of men working in any
one factory, was the closer intimacy
between employer and man, an intimacy
which in small establishments was Oft
entimes quite brotherly.

easy in new place, but it is not so
easy in cities and towns that have ex-

over past mistakes When a thing is
done, it is done, and no fretting can re-
call it. The best thing is not to repeat

BALL FANS GALLERY
 OF NOTABLES
ROSS BARNES
Master of the Fair Foul Hit and the
 Johnny Evers of His Day.

Every now and then you'll come across a baseball gent who fancies himself for his ability to lay down q bunt at just the spot where it cant be fielded and if he gets away with this performance. fifty per cent of his tries. he has something to fancy himself for. As he coaXes the -ba!l over towards the third base line the catcher springs toward it. the pitcher pounds in. the third baseman hovcrs hardby. and the man on that part of the coaching lines hurries up to give the situation the entire ben eft of a wise look In the midst of this consultation some one gives the ball a covert kick and it rolls over the foul line. and an angle-faced tobacco cater in a blue uniform yells "FouI-strikc one Cor two) and the hitter skulks back looking daggers and muttering strange oaths.
 It has not ever been this way. Time was when a batter could ease ball into fair territory. and no matter if it struck foul or not there after. he could run on it to the best of his bent This performance was called the fair foul hit. and genius named Ross Barnes was it's principal prophet. Barnes got the game down to such q fine point. and won such a following that after a while they cancelled that part of the contract and flair ball had to be fair all it's life. else was it foul
 Barnes was the Johnny Evers of his day He second based for Boston in the early 7G's, and he rolled up batting scores that looked like two

totals at ninepines. Well. what do you say to a mark of 4O4? Fair. eh? That was in 1872. Look at what this boy did in 1S73-only 453 with the Big Stick.
 And Barnes did these things be- cause he knew how to lay 'em down, so that they struck near third. in fair territory. and then bounded foul, so that very few people outside of the reserve men in the shed had much chance to field them. It got so that Barnes became unpopular with the third basemen. He would lay down a baby one a few inches from the plate, while the third -baser was playing close to the station. Curses!

After a while they lcgislatcd against this sort of handi- work. but while it lasted. it was like money from home for Ross Barnes.

Local Fans VIII Have to Go

Because there is some difference
between the, Brunswick Baseball as

Railway company it looks as if local
rams Will have to do without baseball
ulls summer, unless the railway com
pany organizes and manages a club.
which is very unlikely.
1t seems that when the street car
company built the pretty new park
last season q contract was entered
INTO with the baseball association,
whereby the company was to receive
twenty per cent of the gross receipts
at all ball games. The percentage
was paid throughout the season and
when the association checked I'D at
the close of the season it was discoy-
cred that the organization had lost
money, just tle amount that had
been paid to the street car company.
heallzing that it is practically i'm
possible TO maintain good club in
the city and pay this percentage to
the car line, the association held a
hcStliiS SOHue tllnc ago ana agreed
to again re-organize, provided that
the street car people would not again
ask for this large percentage of the
gross receipts. A proposition was
submitted, but so far the difference
has. not been adjusted, and, as re-
suit, no effcrt whatever has been
made>to organize a club here.
1t is pointed uCt by those who are
willing to put a club in the field that
the very best they can hope for is
to come out even during a season.
and Trey do not feel that they should
be forced to go down in their pock-
cts and pay the car line, when, as
matter of fact, the street car people
are the only ones who can possibly
be benefited by good baseball.
1t is to be hoped that the differ
ence will he amicably adjusted and
t'1at they association will re-organize
and give the city a fast amateur club.
