The Baseball "Fan."

If you are interested in the
popular American game of base
ball no doubt you have read
many columns of dope" about
the star palyers. But there is
one individual, or rather a class
of individuals, you seldom hear
about that are very necessary to
the success of the game from a
professional standpoint. These
are the "fans" who help to make
the game interesting for the
spectator and often miserable
for the players. On another
page of this issue you will IND
a good story Of the fans" as
they have been observed by
Hugh S. Fullerton, the we'll
known baseball writer, in his
travels around the big league
circuits. Whether you are a
"bug" or just a lover OF clean
sports, you'll find this story
worth while reading.

Negro May Secure a Parole.

Little Rock, June 17.-Mon-
day afternoon q young negro,
about q years of age, appeared
IN the office of Gov. Futrell. He
told the governor a story OF fillal
duty that made a deep impress
sion on the executive, that may
later on result in the extension
of clemency in his case.
The negro, Ode Burchette,
was convicted about four years
ago in Hampstead county, of
grand larceny, and sentenced to
two years in the penitentiary.
He claims that he was innocent
of the Otfense charged against
him. After serving four months
of his term, he was persuaded
by another convict, who threat
ened to kill him if he did not do
| so, to make his escape, when he
was already given partial free

HEALTH ORDINANCE
FOR The CITY
Splitting, Drinking Cups And
Towels In Public Places Are
Now TabOOed.

A health ordinance, drawn
upon the lines Of the act of the
last legislature, creating state
board OF health and defining acts
and nuisances that constitute a
menace to public health, was fin
ally approved by the city coun-
Gil Monday evening at regular
meeting Of that body.
This ordinance places a $40
fine upon violators, who spit in
stores, public buildings and up
on the sidewalks. 1t also pro-
hibits towels and drinking cups
in public places, because expec-
toration spreads tuberculosis
and other infectious diseases.
The fire department commit
tee was authorized to change
the present patent couplings to
the regular couplings, recon-
mended by all fire underwriters.
The regulation coupling is in
general use and should the city
ever have q serious conflagra-
ton and call upon other cities
for help, the hose used by them
could be applied here. The fire
department committee was also
authorized to arrange to have q
man at the hose department
during fires, whose duty it shall
be to notify the pump house of
the fire in order to secure direct
pressure promptly and in case of
g second fire alarm while the de-
partment is out, to send word to
the department Of the scene of
the second fire. The need of this
extra man at such times was
impressed upon the city officers
last week when the department
upon it's return from the May
berry fire found awaiting them
q call to the Sam Gist home,
where a much longer delay
might have have resulted disas-
trously. The city has also pur-
chased two new hose nozzles to
secure better water pressure.
The dog tags have been re-
ceived by the marshal, who will
now proceed in the collection of
this tax, the final limit of pay
ment having been extended to
July ] on account of the delay in
receiving metal tags.
The diaries of the city are to
undergo an inspection, as to
their sanitation and how manag-
ed and DR.. Stanford, the state
veterinary has been employed
by Mayor Paul to examine all
the COWS Of the various diaries
supplying milk to the city for
tubercular germs.

Judge Rejects Appointment.

Pocahontas, June 16.-Countv
Judge M. R. Armstrong has re-
jected the appointment of DR..
H. L. Throgmorton as health Of
icer for Randolph county. Dr.
ThrOgmorton was appointed
health officer by the State Board
of Health m compliance with a
law Of the last legislature giving
the State Board power to ap-
point health officers of the diff
ferent counties. Judge Arm
strong bases his rejection on
the fact that he had appointed
DR.. w. E. Hamil to be county
health officer for Randolph coun-
ty before the appointment of DR..
Throgmorton had been present
ed to him for consideration; that
the State Board of Health has
not the power to make these ap-
pointments and that the law is
unconstitutional, and the power
Of appointment lies in the hands
Of the county judges.
DR.. Throgmorton says he does
not know the action the State
Board of Health will take in the
matter.

Later reports state that she can
not recover.
Milton Carouthers also re-
ceived a badly lacerated face and
chin, with other contusions.
United Railways officials are
trying to fix the blame for the
accident. One version is that the
trolley Jumped" on the car in
front and the motorman Of the
second, John F. Harmon, was un-
able to see the stalled car until
too late.
Harmon said the air brakes
failed to work, and the trolley Of

The New Missionary.

Il love India. would rather be there than
any other country on earth" These words Of
Miss Rosa Lee Oxer are suggestive to any person
no has kept in touch with foreign missionary
;tvties. There those of us, not very frosty
pated, who recall the time when to go mis-
sionarying almost perilous as to go pirate
chasing. We thought of those far people as lost
souls in darkness perishing utterly" and we were
fired to go over and save them even though
boiled in pitch flayed alive in doing it.
The thought that these 'heathen' were people
we could learn to love that those distant lands
could grip our affection with firmer grasp than
own soil never entered our heads.
The missionary is not prospecting for lost
souls, going over to snatch brands from the
burning, he is one who goes to another people
equally divine and divinely loved with his own to
carry to them the fruitage of age-long toll in
battle for civilization and Christianity. He goes
a friend and brother passing all the good
things along.
And he returns too. Returns bringing good
things back. Bringing back, as with Miss Oxer,
love and good will which is quite useful, we
believe, in universe built like this steam en-
gines and Oliver plows.
The new missiOnaryism is an exchange. A
case of give and take. We shall no longer pauper-
ise or make ashamed the people to whom go
without gospel We shall go expecting to receive
as much as we give.
