ORIOLES WIN.
Defeat Strong Pine Tree Star Five, 1e
To 16-A Fast Game.

The Orioles of Augusta defeated the
strong Pine Tree Star five, Saturday, at
the rink, by a score of 10 to 16. The
game was fast throughout and was mark
ed by several spectacular plays. The
first half ended with the score Y to II in
favor of the Orioles, but the stars fin

Purlnton and Miller showed up well for
the losers and should with little more
weight develop into fast men. Capt. Da.

The New Mayor of New York

How would you like to take charge of city
that pays out for running expenses every week
So LOO, 900, that contains the most foreign popu-
lation of any town in the world and more people
than either Australia Greece, Serva, Switzer-
land or Denmark? And suppose you were but
thirty-four years of age and had wife ten years
your junior and many enemies they might
populate city as big as Cincinnati?
This is the little task about to be undertaken
by John Purroy Mitchell of New York city The
whole country will wait with interest to note
the outcome.
Mitchell graduated from Columbia Law School
at twenty-one and Immediately entered a law
firm in the Borough of Bronx. Nobody heard of
the young attorney until 1907 when he was ap-
pointed commissioner of accounts for the Dor
ough. This office had up till then been merely
a resting place for weary politicians but the
young 1rshman Immediately began to do
things. After learning the city charter by heart
he started in by chasing the president of the Dor
cugh out of office. Inasmuch this man was
a sachem in the great Tammany wigwam this
act of hardhood won for Mitchell the undying
hatred of the braves
In three years he chased out of office no few
er than three borough executives. In that time
he turned in enough evidence to the grand jury
to indict three dozen officials.
escape raise if he would, so young Mitchell was
elected president of the Board of Aldermen of
the city of New York on fusion ticket. By
right of his place he became ex-officio mem
Der of the board of estimate and it here that
he did the biggest things of his career. He had
the hardwood, even, to oppose Mayor Gaynor.
After Gaynor had been shot, Mitchell held his
place and prosecuted his duties with such uncom-
promising thoroughness he rose to be one of the
city's most prominent men.
When the fusion committee set out to locate
the best mayoralty candidate they gradually mar
rowed the possibilities down to three men. Of
these Mitchell finally chosen and with what
ultimate result is known to everybody.
The new mayor is an Irish Catholic and the
grandson of that famous Irish patriot, John
Mitchell. His wife is an ardent though sensible
suffraget and first class aide. If he can keep
his health, straight road lies before him to the
governorship to the Presidency.

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM.

o little town of Bethlehem
How still see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamess sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shneth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals Sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to on earth.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven
No may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidngs tell;
o come to US, abide with u.s.
Our Lord Emmanuel!

The Church and Social Service

The church in Richmond is not doing its best
in social service! This is the reply made to Kew.
B. E. Parkers question in the list mailed to sever
al hundred persons in the community.
This feeling is by no means local because it IS
the widespread sentiment everywhere that
churches are not measuring up to their oppor-
,tunities in serving society. And this 1eellng
throws flood of light the change of the center
of gravity in the religious world. Comparatively
young persons easily recall when the one nsistent
appeal heard from every pulpit was confess your
sins and prepare for heaven
But this heaven beyond the stars has lost its
interest Men are determined to have heaven
here and now They believe religion can erect the
Kingdom of God in this sphre easily as in some
other. Therefore they are demanding that the
church turn it's attention from the future to the
present and set itself to the big task of having
Gods will done earth.
This will submit the Christian religion to the
severest test it has undergone. So long as
it's promises were on the future beyond death they
could be neither verified nor disapproved But
when it undertakes to change the complexion OF
present human society it's fruits will be measure
able and known.
But it's severest test will also be it's greatest
opportunity. If it translate it's lofty ethical
idealism into the very stuff of which the present
world is made the most blatant skeptic will hold
his peace
In undertaking this huge work the church
necessarily must lead and it is because people are
beginning to look to it as the leader that it is
being weighed in the balances.
Just how it may equip itself to this task now
most concerns all it's leaders, 1t is our opinion
that it's surest method is to organize itself on the
same business-ike and efficient principles which
have made other great organizations successful
in their own fields. We believe it will win out in
great style if it employs itself in this way.

The Case of William r. George.

It will come as great shock to those interest
ed in the work of the Junior Republics to learn
that their founder, William R. George, has been
found guilty of misconduct by the State Board OF
Charities of New York. 1t is claimed that charg-
were proved he had entered into improper re-
lationships with girl member of the Republic
at Freeve and that she gave birth to child,
that he made improper advances to another nine
teen year old girl, and that he made medical
examination though he is not a physician.
The George Junior Republics have been of in
calculable influence by taking hayward boys
and girls and training them in citizenship. So
successful the New York experiment
Quoted at Freeville that other similar enterprises
have been inaugurated elsewhere and National
Association formed. William George has been
the head and soul of this movement and has so
won the confidence of people everywhere that
many of the wealthiest persons in the country
have freely subscribed to his undertakings
Mr.. Georges attorney, Emory r. Buckner,
vigorously denounces the Board, and says they
have been mised by number of Mr.. Georges
personal enemies.
Mr.. George himself explains that he is the
victim of nsufferabe headaches and often does
things at such times of which he is unconscious,
but he resolutely denies the truth of the charges
Thomas Mott Osborn, prominent prison ex-
pert in New York, withdrew from the presidency
of the Freeville organization because he dsap-
proved of the way in which it was conducted and
says he became convinced that Mr.. George is
losing his mind.
Admirers of Mr. George everywhere will hope
he may be exonerated from these unfortunate
charges 1t may be he is victim of such a plot
as was aimed at Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver
If so his condemnation will add one more MARTYR
to long list of those already ruined by political
machinat;or~ It may be, as Mr.. Mott thinks.
that he ling his reason. Many instances
might be GIFTED to show how others in similar
circumstances had become unbalanced by the
strain.
But if Mr.. George really is guilty of the
charges made against him his case serves as one
more amentable illustration of our too great
faith in organizations and our too little faith in
the power of personality. AS Matthew Arnold
said this age places altogether too much trust
in machinery. Laws and organizations are ex-
pected to do the work that only character can do
A man without strength of character himself
hoped by the legerdemain of social mechanism
to build character in others in others. The thing
can't be done, never could and never will.

Darktown Politician" will make its
appearance at Kalbfield's Grand for
one night, Saturday, January 18th,
with Salem Tutt Whitney, the clever
est comedian seen in many a day, in
the leading part, and a supporting
cast that has been selected with the
greatest care. This season the pro-
duction more than ever scintillates
with the brightest of comedy gems,
and is fairly alive with musical and
dancing features. The comedy itself
contains its full measure of musical
features, while throughout the action
of the play there are 25 song hits, and
half score of novel features to be
seen only with this company. The
chorus of bronzed beauties is one of
the niftiest ever assembled and the
members were selected for their abil-
ity to sing and dance and make good
impression in regard to looks; the
scenery and costumes were furnished
with no regard to expense and the
production as a whole is bound to
please the most eXacting critic.

Saw First Governor Inaugurated.

One of the most remarkable men iii
Florida was present at the inaugura-
ton of Gov. Trammell last week
Judge P. W. White of Quincy.
Thus in 1913, Judge White is found
assisting at the Inauguration of a gov
ernor of Florida, while looking back
to similar event in 1845 when as a
member of a cavalry company COM
manded by William T. Stockton, he
attended the Inauguration of William
D. Moseley, the first governor of the
new State of Florida. If the present
constitution gave birth to the United
States of America then Judge White
is less than thirty-three years young
er than his country, for he was born
in May, 1920, and came to Florida
when little boy. He saw her In
dians and her pioneers and now his
interest in her welfare is still young,
and his heart is glowing with hope for
her when looking upon her cities and
railways and industries and ever
growing population. In her history he
has been an important factor for a
term longer than the ordinary life
allotted to man, and it has been said
that he found and keeps monopoly
of the Fountain of Youth.
Judge White came from Quincy to
attend the Inauguration of Governor
Trammell, went back to his home for
a nights rest and rose at daybreak to
begin journey down to Miami. There
are older men in other states, but
Florida defes the world to show a
grand old man of 92 years who is as
young, mentally and physically, as is
Judge White, as active and as truly
a citizen of the world.-Tallahassee

BLUE LAW FIGHT AT
ST. PETERSBURG PUZZLING.
Man Leases Picture Theater for SUM-
day Only and Openly Vio-
Iates Law.

st. Petersburg.-The whole Sunday
closing qquestion has been revived
here since J. Mott Williams brought
himself into a legal tangle by leasing
for Sunday night only, the Rex NOV
ing picture theater. Williams did
this to test the law prohibiting shows
on Sunday. He was arrested and
when presented in the mayors court
charged with violating the city ordi-
nance by keeping a show open on
Sunday, entered a plea of guilty.
Acting Mayor ]. j. Sullivan, on the
bench, reserved his decision until la
ter. Williams announced that he
would swearou warrants against ev-
cry persons who did any work on
Sunday if he was fined for running
the picture show. He announced that
he would close up the town tight and
shut down everything on Sunday. But
the general public is not in sympathy
with any such move and promises to
make it lively for anybody who tries
to enforce the old blue laws beyond
reason.
The fight promises to be an inter-
esting one, if it comes to a head. II
the acting mayor dismissses the
charge. as is said to be probable, the
picture show will continue to run on
Sunday unless Mayor Pheil on his
return, gives a different construction
to the law.
1t is claimed that the ordinance re-
quiring moving picture shows to re-
main closed on Sunday was not legal"
ly passed and that it is class legislai
ton as we'll.
