Only few farmers were in the city,
Saturday. and those who did visit Au-
gusta found the travelling very poor on
the country roads, for the snow drifted
considerably in places, making it diff
cult to drag a sleigh through. The snow
is not very deep, however, where it did
not drift, and the sleighing promises to
be good in a few days. The wind blew
very hard in the outlying districts, Satur-
day afternoon, and the windows of the
electric cars which came into Augusta
were well covered with snow.

In the American Association his work

Four years ago. Owens got into ser
ious trouble at Minneapolis by making
decision against. the home club. In
favor Of Columbus--a play that had
serious bearing upon .ae peDnant race.
The play occurred ut he ciore Of the
season when both teams were lighting
hard.
Trouble between Owens and Mike
Kelley, then manager Of the .Minnsap-
oils club, led to Owens being charget
with gambling on the games, and the
arbitrator was suspended pending in
vestigation. He was exonerated, and
the following year was. employed by
the National League at the close OF the
American Association season.. making a
splendid record.

been in select company for many a
moon, Hughes, when at his best, is q
pretty valuable asset and when he finds
he cannot go the full route, he will be
kept around to be used as relief man

tress.
Each Has Height.
Walter Johnson, the CoffeyvilIe cy-
clone. and Buck" Becker, the south
eastern southpaw. each admits Of sew
enty-two inches from his zenith to his
nadir. Much of Johnson's marvellous
success has come from the abnormal
length of his arms, these two wings
hanging down until they. appear to al
most reach his knees. While his deliv-
cry is most simple, Johnson's spread.
eagle measurements are such that he
gets a sweep on his heave that is with
out an equal in baseball today. As
Gabby Street used to say, when Wal
ter starts TO swing around, he touches
every base with the ball and then lets
her go like a cannon ball"
Johnson is today, of course, much
more refined article than the johnson
who first came out OF the alfalfa OF
Idaho, but even during his early career
could win without any of the other
'stuff' that goes to make up stellar
pitchers. Today he knows so much
about the business that he is forced to
depend upon his terrific speed only
when he Is in a hole through some
lucky hitting or some misplay by one
OF his supporters.

My Dear and Respected Sir: I
take great pleasure in reading your
Magazine, and wish all of my friends
would subscribe for it. You may
hurt some, but you are telling the
truth, and the Romanists and the
followers of Popery could not have
done anything that would advertise
you more and strengthen you more
with the great mass of all good,
loyal citizens than to cause your ar
rest. Outrageous and unwarranted
as it is, it will be a pillar of strength
to you, and will cause thousands to
read your grand and patriotic writ
ings who otherwise would never
have become interested. The great
trouble is that the good Americans
fail to realize the dangers that con-
front this Republic through the
Shiny Jesuits and the Romanists in
general. Why, the national chair
man of the Democratic party is a
Roman Catholic, Norman E. Mack,
and only last Saturday urged and
really commanded his employees in
the Buffalo Times office to march in
a body at the laying of a corner
stone of new Romanist cathedral
here in Buffalo last Saturday, and
Mack is a nice man to head the Ma
tiOnal Democratic convention as
chairman, and Cardinal Farley al

My Dear Sir: Having suffered

I am naturally much interested in

down and out. Pray God, "the best
laid schemes of mice and men gang

STAND BY MR.. WATSON.

1t is very gratifying to us to see
so many rally to Hon. Tom Watson
when he was arrested by our great
Republican Government for fighting
the deadliest enemy it has, the Ro-
man Catholic Hierarchy. We feel
sure that he will never be convicted
by jury in Georgia unless it is
composed of Catholics.
We think it is high time that the
Church, and Church papers join
hands with Mr.. Watson in fighting
this great enemy to our society and
government.
Mr.. Watson has our best wishes
in his noble efforts.-Je fferson Re
