The last half of the ninth Westerly was leading, but the outcome was still doubtful, espe- cially when Stonington had three men on bases with no outs. It was a very satisfactory ending for the local high team and their big crowd of support CTS, when two pop flies and man caught off third told the story It was all over then but the shouting and there sure was some noise All the way home and during the evening fitting celeirat ton was held, with ser pentine dances, fireworks and music furnished by the Westerly band.

Pastor to Put on Lid
At Big Campmeeting
Soft Drinks and Other Palatables
VIII Not Be Sold on Sunday
at Mount Zion.

GRIFFIN, July 1.-THE Rev.
Thomas NJ Elliott, pastor in charge
of the Griffin Circuit of Methodist
churches, in which is located the ia
nous Mount Zion campground, gives
promise that the lid" will be put on
good and tight during the camp
meeting this year. For several years
considerable trouble has been expert
enced on account of the buying and
selling of soft drinks and other pal
atables on Sunday at the camp
meetings.
Mr.. Elliott has given notice that
nothing shall be sold at the camp
ground on Sunday, so long as he is
pastor of the meeting, and that in, all
probability the public tent Will not be
run even in the week days. This de-
termination has been reached because
Of the annoyance in years past and
of the hindrance to the success of the
spiritual work of the meeting by the
buying and selling at the public tent
The campmeeting this year gives
promise Of being the best in years.
To cooperate with the pastor in the
meetings, the Revs. w. G. Crawley,
of oxford; ]. NJ, Tumlin, of Thomas
ton, and +. r, Seaborn, Of Stock
bridge, will be present. Charlie d.
TiIlman will conduct the singing.

Augusta g
w. A, Clark, at II,
Begins as Reformer
Makes Fight for Better AdminIstra-
ton of county's Funds,
and With Success.

AUGUSTA, July 12.-Joseph w.
Folk began his fight for a State" in
his thirties. Walter A. Clark has
begun his fight for a county" in his
seventies. 1t is most unusual for a
man who is a septuagenarian to be-
gin to be a reformer. Reforming
usually is too hard a task for young
and vigorous man, but when a man
of Mr.. Clark's age and physical con-
dition tackles the problem of reform
ing a county, it is remarkable.
The man who has set about TO re-
form Richmond County, or at least
help the situation here, is a veteran
and is II years Of age. He now is
County Treasurer and has been since
1897. From 1870 to 1876 he repre-
sented this county in the Legislature.
After an interval Of a decade, he be-
gan serving the county again, and
from 1886 until the present time ne
has been connected with the county
government in one capacity or an
other
1t was because Mr.. Clark paid the
bills of Richmond County that ne
came to tackle the job OF lettering
conditions. He saw where thousands
of dollars of the peoples money were
being expended and the county not
getting the proper results. He found
waste and extravaganza In various
places, and in a remarkable series of
letters published in both of the Au-
gusta papers he made his "hght for a
county"

BY TRAIN MAY
DIE Of NEGLECT
Laurens Officials Would Not Take
Burden Of Macon, Dublin
and Savannah Road.

DUBLIN, July 12.-The problem of
what to do with a negro who was
hurt by jumping off a moving train on
the Macon, Dublin and Savannah
Railroad near Montrose, Laurens
County, because he was stealing a
ride and was seen by some Of the
train crew, developed into an interest
ing situation here this week, in which
the negro, George Farmer, is the ulti-
mate sufferer and may not recover
from his injuries.
Farmer jumped from a passenger
train near Montrose several days ago
while stealing a ride, and the train
stopped, nicked him IN and carried
him to Danville, the next stop. There
he was left in the care of someone,
who set his arm that was badly frac-
tured, but neglected his broken jaw
bone, a large cut on his forehead and
several bruises. There he stayed for
a day or two getting barely enough t.
eat. and his condition growing worse
daily from neglect. Then the COM
pany brought him to Dublin and
turned him over to the county author
tiles as a pauper. The Commission
ers ruled that the negro was in no
sense a pauper and refused to take
charFe of him. Then the company
endeavored to have him arrested on a
warrant charging him with stealing a
ride, so as to have him put in Jail
and receive medical treatment. How
ever, no one would serve the warrant.
Finally persons who knew about the
case took the negro in charge and got
him a place to stay and someone to
take care of him. A physician volun-
teered his services free.

TWINS TANGLE
PRENATAL PLAN
FOR SUPPORT
Extra Arrival Upsets Financial
Arrangement Made by Couple
Who Separated Quickly.

AUGUSTA, July 12.-Can a hus-
band and wife separate and agree
upon the amount the father shall pay
TO the mother for the support of an
unborn child?
Judge Hammond, of the Richmond
Superior Court, says that they can
not.
F. A. Jones was married to Miss
Margaret Rountree in 1905 Three
months after their marriage they sep
arated and Jones gave his wife 81 1900
in settlement of all her claims against
him for the support of her and of her
unborn child. Six months after the
separation twin sons were born to
Mrs. Jones.
The mother, through her attorneys,
Isaac S. PEBBLES, Jr., and z. Foster
Brigham, recently brought action to
compel the father to help support his
children, it being alleged that there
were two children instead of one,
and that the agreement between
Jones and his wife stipulated that the
$1,000 he paid was for the support of
her and Of her unborn child and in
view Of the fact that one of the twins
was not mentioned, 1t was up to the
father to contribute toward it's sup
port.
Jones agreed to support both of the
children in his answer to PLAINTIFF s
petition, but stated that II he had to
support them he wanted the custody
of them.
Judge Hammond decided that both
of the children should stay with
their mother, that the father pay $25
per month for their support, and also
the attorneys fees.
The court held that the father and
mother had no right to enter into
an agreement regarding the support
of any unborn child; that the first
rights Of an individual come when
he is actually born into the world.
The Jones twins are handsome lit
tie fellows, four years of age. Their
mother makes q good salary, while
the father is also well to do.

sentative Wallace Miller for the abo-
lition of the justice of the peace courts

those in the county, will be abolished.

Governor, and this was reflected in
the action Of the bar association.
The new court will be established
January 1.

DEPOT DANGERS
AROUSE GRIFFIN
FOLK TO ACTION
Congestion of Trains at One
Morning Hour Imperils Lives,
Declare Petitioners.

GRIFFIN, July 12.LGrifin people
are making complaints on the danger
Gus conditions at the passenger depot
of the Southern and Central Rail-
ways. A strong petition has been
circulated among the people, and a
long list of names has been affixed,
that it may be submitted to the Rail-
road Commission.
The cause of Griffin's complaint is
the fact that at o'clock each morn
ing four trains are at the same time
receiving and discharging passengers
and baggage on parallel tracks at
the depot.
Three of the trains arrive at the
same time, and approach the depot
and waiting passengers in opposite
directions. Confusion and danger
arise every moment, and 1t is an every
day occurrence for some one to have
to be pulled off the track of one train
while he is trying to dodge another.
AS the trains come to stand on
parallel tracks, with only a few feet
Of space between them, It is neces-
sary for women and children to
trudge back and forth between the
trains and baggage trucks in order
to get aboard the trains they want.
Only a few days ago Miss Bessie
Greer was struck by a Southern train
as she was trying to evade Central
train. She has just been discharged
from the hospital. Shortly before Miss
Greers life was endangered another
young woman was hurled some dis
lance under similar circumstances.
More than once in recent days SINH
lar narrow escapes have been noted.
The matter has been laid before the
Commission with the request that
something be done to make a visit
to the depot here a little more safe.
Chairman Murphey Gambler, of the
Commission, has been in communica-
ton with some of the signers of the
petition and gives notice that the
Commission will attend to the petit
ton Immediately.
