LETTERS TO EDITOR
On Good Manners

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
What constitutes good manners? The
nearest approach to an answer. it seems
to me, is unselfsh love to humanity.
A great many people know but little as
to how they should conduct themselves al
home and in public and social occasions.
They have not been educated nor had
the training that brings refinement and
polished manner.
In the home of culture of the south 1t
was the custom for an awkward guest to
be seated at table by the host or hos
tess, that there might not be any embar-
rassment.
A man and his wife gearing the marks
of care and labor and having lived on
naked floors, and eaten their food from
common dishes gradually accumulate n
fortune. Their children were brought up
on velvet. The rosewood dining table and
mahogany sideboards were laden with sill
yer, cut glass and china. One night the
mother said sweet and last goodby.
The father was tottering from age. labor
and grief. Little did he think or care
for manners. Why should his children
have noticed the way ne held his silver
spoon, and fork, and ivory handled knife.
an entire seat on a car with small child
and make another lady stand?
/ fear the future of a young person
who will look out of the window of a
car and eat peanuts and tell about the
dancing girl they saw at the show and
right by their side palefaced woman, or
palsied old man is standing, Then there
is the rude and laxative sport; his legs
crossed and wiping the bottom of his
nasty shoe on your Sunday pants.
One more, and / hesitate to mention it.
He was Confederate veteran; good sol
der. Yes, well bred and with polished
manners. yes. Did / shun him? No:
have seen that man on the field of car
rage shouting the rebel yell and almos;
covered with blood. In an evil moment
he forgot that he was in manners a Ches-
terfield. He fell In with a man who FOR
love of money had taken from him for
the time his noble manhood. The God
of mercy bring him and all such as he is
back to their natural selves.
Young man. young woman. If you were
not born with good manners, then learn
them and practice them. but don't worry
the old and the feeble. they are thinking
of something by far more important.

The Bold Barons Disband Forces

After playing a benefit game yesterday
afternoon and feasting last evening at
the Florence hotel where they were the
guests of the Birmingham Baseball asso-
citation. the bold and intrepid Barons are
ready to wing their flights.
The affair last night was an unusually
pleasant one. The menu was excellent
and by the guests was done great justice
to. There were a number of happy talks,
and muen good humor until late hour
prevailed
Wordsworth, the astute manager of the
champions, spoke at length concerning
the work of his players throughout the
season. and expressed well turned COM
pliments IN favor of each. Large Will
liam McGilvray responded on behalf of
the players, and Marcan. Foxen, ELAN
and Johnston made impromptu addresses
of high rhetorical flights During the
evening. every Baron was given an OPP
portunity to express himself.

contest, the game was thriller" of the

Both teams started off with a rush,
as a result of conglomeration of hits,
errors and stolen bases.
There was nothing doing for either
team during the second inning, but in

circled the bags for a couple of runs
just to keep up appearances. After the
presentation, however, they settled down,
and thereafter only one run was scored
by them during the entire game and
this came as a mistake on the part of
Lip Marcan, who unthinkingly took adj
vantage of one of the misplays of the
Ala-Cola boys and romped across the
platter. Although the entire Baron out
fit played in championship form, the
work of Bill McGilvary and Lii Marcan
stands out above the rest as being sem
sational to the last degree. McGilvray

anchored at third and attempted to steal
