Smiths efforts alone kept the
sport popular in Birmingham in
those trying days of the Southern
league, and had as much as any
thing 10 do with making Birming-
ham the most dependable baseball
town in the circuit. For all of
which Bonehead Frank should re-
ceive the lasting gratitude of
Southern patrons of the game.
Smith was again a Baron in 1903.
This year Birmingham was man
aged by Tom O'Brien, and had
real ball club, but still Smith was
called on to do the utility act. He
did not shine particularly as a
pitcher, but was above the aver
age in effectiveness
The South was surprised when he
was drafted by the White Sox. 1t
was thought but a question of
weeks before he would be trudging
back to Birmingham.
He didn't. He stuck, and his tenn
permanent changed. The spitball
was soon afterward introduced. and
Smith became master Of that puz-
zling delivery.
When he saw himself a star, he
did the same thing that stars of
the stage, of art, of literature. of
lighting, of everything else are wont
to do. He thought himself too
bright for common, every day work.
Instead of being the fine old truck
horse he was in the Southern league
he became as willful as a prima
donna. If his support was not gilt
edged. he sulked. Frequently he
jumped back 10 his piano moving
in Pittsburg. Every time an OPP

White Sox soon became less than
nothing. Comiskey was tickled to
death when he traded him to Bos-

He was never again effective. and

election. We hope to be able at
that time to give full and COM

that on account of the size of the

unable to do so. The Chronicle

Argument in Favor Of the Amendment
Dear Editor and readers.

Dear Editor and readers.
At this crisis Of the cam
paign, would like to say q few
words: The coming November
election is one in which every vo-
ter of Calhoun county should be
interested. You viii all agree
that we should place men iu Of
fee whom we know to be quail
fed; and of course we have them
in both the great Political par
ties" yet some are better quail
fed than others.
We have a man running for
office in Calhoun county that, re-
gardless OF party affiliations.
every citizen who is interested i'm
a man that is progressive in his
ideas, should give him their
hearty support. That man is

hiner Draws a Good Crowd

Ben H. Hiner, of Franklin, Pen
dleton county, Democratic nomi-
nee for Congress-at-large, spoke
to large crowd, composed main
ly Of farmers from all sections of
the county, at the Courthouse on
Monday afternoon. Mr.. Hincr
is, himself, a farmer and was
perfectly at home with his audi
ence. Mr.. Hiner is a clear,
forceful speaker and was able to
interest and hold the attention of
his hearers for over an hour, dur
ing which time he made many
forcible arguments and pointed
out many good reasons why a
Democratic Congress and Legis-
lature should be retained to car
ry out the reforms begun in the
last two years.
A few of the things along this
line mentioned by Mr.. Hiner
were:
/. Created the office of Com
missioner of Agriculture and pro-
vided for filling it by the people
instead of appointment by a po-
litical ring.
2. Nominated to fill this Office
w. D. linn, q practical farmer,
and one who has done more for
the farmers OF this State than
any other one man.
3. Changed the beginning of
the assessment year from Janu-
airy 1st to April 1st.
a. Declared in its platform for
a law requiring the inspection of
all seeds sold in the state which
will prevent worthless seeds be-
ing imposed upon the farmer.
5. Run the last session of the
Legislature on half of what
it cost to run the previous Re
publican one.
6. Passed in Congress tariff
bills which would have saved the
tax payers Of this country more
than Seven Hundred and Forty
million dollars had these meas
ures not been defeated by the
Republicans; the saving on sugar
alone being One Hundred and
Fifteen Million dollars, and that
by the Farmers Free List Bill
Three Hundred and Ninety Mil
lion dollars each year. When
the next Congress passes tariff
bills for the relief of the farmer
and wage Garner, these bill will
become laws by the siQnat0re of
Woodrow Wilson, the champion
of the peoples Cause.
