BALL MANAGERS

New York. March 5.-If you want

Snoot a glance at what Clarke Griffith
mas to say about it. And Griff is
qualified to speak. for he has had
more advice n criticism hurled at

trying to do so. He can see any num-
Der of faults. But If he vas called
on to manage the club for a while the
chances are he would be a fiat failure,
If a team slumps, the manager is

SPORTING LIGHTS
AT THE SIGN OF THE sLuGGER.

Did Vol ever lamp. notice or OBJ

Among the great hitters of the day?
But few among those who have
crossed the polite portals Of 800 or
$50 will ever be seen in any concen-
trated attitude while waiting for the
slabman to push the next one within
reach. Cobb and Wagner, although
keen eyed n alert. are apparently
%listless and careless at the plate, with
a frequent shifting of the bat from
one grip to another: with a constant
shutfling of feet that would seem to
work against the right poise for a

Christian SERVICES
ARE WELL ATTENDED

The revival services at the Central
Christian church were well attended
last night. The subject was "Why
Did Jesus Die" The Evangelist gave
many illustrations of how men are eff
fected by things according to the
meaning they attach to them, there
fore, the death of Jesus effects us
according to the meaning impaired to
us, and our action toward Christ will
be governed by the impress of his
die because Of a worn-out body, nor of
old age. nor because disease had enter
ed the body and extinguished the
spark of life. Neither was it because
he had fulfilled his mission on earth.
Jesus died to fulfill his mission, to
make atonement for sin, to bring us
back to God. Atonement means "at-
onement." His suffering and death
made it possible for God to justify a
pentitent sinner who believes in
Christ.
God did not punish Jesus. The in
nocent cannot be punished. Punish
ment requires the presence of guilt
and 'In Him there was no sin," "He
that was without sin was made to be
sin for u.s." the text says He Suffer
ed" The innocent may suffer for the
guilty.
All Heaven and earth felt the shock
of the death of Christ. 1t was of such
supreme importance that the whole
realm of God in heaven and on earth,
combined to make it as the greatest
event, save one, in the history of the
universe
The speaker closed with a vivid de-
scription of the events of the cruel
fiXion, the railing and mocking; the
terrible suffering of Jesus; darkness
at The 9Th hour which continued until
the 9th hour; the cry of Jesus to His
Father and the death of Jesus; "and
the veil of the temple was rent in
twain from the top to the bottom"
There was one confession.

With Jesus"

ance of the town as a wide-awake and

PROBABLY PRETERMIT
PART OF COURT TERM
Farmers and Mill Men Request That
This Be Done, as Operations
Are so Backward.

Circuit court which convenes next
Monday, is scheduled to last seven
weeks. Judge Johnson has received
many requests from farmers and mill
operators that the term be pretermit-
ted for the reasons that because of
the weather-both mill men and farm
ers are greatly behind with their work.
Judge Johnson has the matter under
advisement and sees the force of
the request, but cannot see how it
will be possible to pretermit the whole
term. There are a number of pris-
oners in the county Jail either await
ing trial or action by the grand jury.
If they are innocent they should be
freed and if guilty convicted and sent
to the penitentiary, thus saving the
county the expense of feeding them.
This work could probably be disposed
of in two weeks and not work a very
great hardship on any individual, and
leave the question of pretermtting the
remainder of the term to be decided
upon it's merits.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS
A MOOTED QUESTION

Since the special election to decide
whether Commission Government
would be retained, has been decided
the question recently raised as to the
tenure of office Of municipal officers,
will doubtless receive attention.
This is a question in which every
town in the state is interested and one
which should be settled as soon as
possible, for the reason that until the
conflict in the legislative act of 1910
was made known, it was the general
understanding that only cities having
population of $4,000 or more were
effected by that legislation, and that
the smaller cities and towns would
hold elections every two years as here
tofore.
The law authorizing the holding of
elections every two years was repeal
ed by the act of 1910 and the latter
cannot be gone behind for authority
to hold municipal elections.
Section 16, of the constitution of
1890, reads, mo law shall be revived
or amended by reference to it's title
only, but the section or sections, as
amended or revived, must be inserted
