Child BURNED TO DEATH
PLAYING With MATCHES
Austin Emmett Ellis Meets
Death at Roberta

Macon, Ga, May 9.-Austin Emmett
Ellis, the little son of A. J. Ellis, of
Macon, lost his life in fire that de-
stroyed a country home at Roberta
yesterday afternoon. News of the
fire with its tragic ending was re-
ceived here last night and Mr.. Ellis
went to Roberta as soon as possible.
Mr.. Ellis wife died here about three
months ago and since then his daugh-
ter, Miss Rosebud Ellis, and his little
SON made their home with his brother,
D. B. Ellis, at Roberta, in a country
home owned by Ogden Braswell.
The brother is unmarried and Miss
Rosebud Ellis was in charge of the
household and looked after the care OF
her little brother.
Yesterday afternoon she discovered
the little boy playing with a box Of
matches on the second floor of the
house. She took the matches from
him and placed them out of reach
when she went down stairs. Sbs
thought she had gathered up all If
the matches.
However, some time passed and
suddenly she heard cries from her lit
tie brother The cries were of fright
or from pain, and she fastened to-
ward the stairway to find the passage
way cut off with smoke and flame. She
could not reach the landing on the
second floor
Driven from the house by the flames
she screamed for help and her uncle
and neighbors responded quickly
from the neldS, Dut they were TOO late
The house was in ruins. A piano,
rocking chair and mattress from the
lower floor being all that they could
save.
Searching through the ruins several
hours afterward, the heart and liver Of
the little boy was all that could be
found of the body of the child.
The property loss is estimated at
$4,000, which is partially covered by
insurance.
Mr.. Ellis, the father of the child
was formerly employed by the Mans

NleeHFlile is the place. 1t was Wnlle
growing up there that the deep-s ct
love of the country grew up with him,
and the outdoor enchantment still
fingers as strong as ever, SO you can
but imagine how he must feel in the
whirly-twirly city life.
1t was in Greenville that Joe learn
ed to play ball Joe's father was IN
the butcher business-and young Joe
had to drive the wagon at times. You
know how it was yourself when you
were young-there is nothing like a
game of ball to soothe labors aching
pains-so young Joe took no chance
with the pains of toll
His first team of any Importance
was the Greenville Changers, a mem
Der of the South Carolina State League
1t was while playing in this league
that the famous cognomen "Shoeless'
became attached to his person
Il was playing in Anderson, S. c.,
one day." explained Joe, land it hap
pened that l played the day before ~
new pair of baseball shoes. You
know how ill-itting shoes will act a.
times. Well, this pair simply raised
the biggest blister you can imagine on
each heel. So when | put on the
shoes for the Anderson game l found
| could hardly walk with them on,
much less play ball So the only thing
for me to do was to take them off or
die standing up-so | just naturally
took 'em off and played ball in my
stocking feet Some fan in the belach-
ers with a megaphone voice spied my
twinkling toes and shouted with all
his might, "Oh, you shoeless wonder"
guess every baseball fan in the
country heard him, for l have been
called that ever since"
In 1909 Connie Macks scout reported
find" in South Carolina. The find"
was Joe Jackson. 1t kept Connie
Mack busy finding" him ever after.
Jackson did not like Philadelphia. En-
phatically he did not. So he simply
left the place and went home Mack
sent man down to Greenville after
him. The man was one of smooth
speech and he soon persuaded Joe to
return to Philly again.
Joe left again within week. Again
he was brought back. This little act
was performed six times. Twice in
one week. Whenever joe felt dissatis-
fed he just left for home. At such
times he would rather be butcher
than ball player.
At last Connie Mack gave up and
traded Jackson to New Orleans
Cleveland obtained Joe from New
Orleans last year, and we are all aware
of what followed.
Jackson has just one ambition he
would like to fulfill before he quits
the game. That is to excel Ty Cobb's
record q guess one ambition is plenty
when you have one like that
81 am young yet" argues Joseph,
only twenty-four and should improve
for quite some time yet. l am just hop
ing that l improve enough to excel
Ty Anyway, laughed Joe, Il ought to
equal his records-they tell me that /
look enough like him to be his twin.
And he does.

Methodist Church Notes.
THE BROTHERHOOD.

lhE BROTHERHOOD.
The Methodist Brotherhood now only
a few months old is taking ." new and
vigorous life. 1t has various objects,
among which are to bring about the
mutual improvement of its members by
religious social. literary and physical
culture; to promote the spirit and
practice of christian brotherhood; to
increase fraternal interest among men
to develope their activity and stimulate
their efficiency in all that relates to
religious, civic, social, and industrial
betterment to build up the church by
leading men into its communion and
fellowship; and in general to extend
the Kipdom Of the Lord Jesus Christ
1t invites to its membership all men
of good moral character and makes no
test Of religious faith. Loyalty to the
objects of the brotherhood and desire
to help in making the community a
better place to live in, and to steadily
improve ones own character are the
oHly tests OHefed.
Last night 23 new members We're
elected and the next meeting is expect
ed to increase the number still more.
The program last night was highly
entertaining it consisted in debate on
the subject of Woman Suffrage.
The affirmative side was well sustain
ed by Walter Kirkpatrick f.. Y.
Hutchi nson, and John Hendra and the
negative by j. f. Reynolds, s. G..
Nauman, and Athur Jacobs.
Several good things were promised in
the future, and a proposition was sug
gested which met .witlc considerable
favor; that the brotherhoods Of the city
unite for Sunday afternoon men s
meeting about once month, an in
vitation will, probably be extended to
life organizations 10 join in this plan.
One very important part OF the work
was launched last night a "a sick
committee, was appointed with power
10 draft the members to care for the
sick who need help. Practical aid will
thus be given whenever needed
The brotherhood especially invites
young men over IA and will do all in
its power TO show them good time
and help them to make progress in.all
manly and honorable ways
A plan for physical culture was sug-
gested, and should it be carried ont will
be matter of great interest.
The pastor stated.that in Superior the
.ame plan had resulted in separate
organization called the century club
