PLAY TIE MATCH

Alec Smith ana Jack Hobens and J.
J MoDermott and Tom Mcnamara
played a tie yesterday in the four-bali
match AT the Englewood Country Club
This combination met In a similar
contest a year ago over the same links
and on that occasion the Scots. - rep
resented by Smith and Hobens. won
over the sterling homebreds. Yester-
day. however, was . different story.
Smith and Hobens began well enough
and by the time the turn was reached
they were two holeH to the good. Two
more were added In the course of the
remaining mine.
In the afternoon. however. the Scots
did not succeed In winning even 70
much as n hoio. The homebreds out.
played them handily and had reduced
the lead from four holes to two at the
turn. and on the sixteenth green actu-
ally squared the match.

REPORTS TO GIANTS.
Dave White Joins McGraw for the
Season Nav rs.

Dave White of Georgetown announced
yesterday that he would report to Man.
ager McGraw of the New York Giants
May 25. as by this time he will have fin
ished all of his examinations at the dem
tai department of the university.
While the Western High School will
continue to play ball after Coach White
leaves, still another man will be most
likely placed in charge of the team. The
schedule at Western calls for games after
May %, and, although White will be in
New York, it is rumored that Frank Gar
gan. who coached the Central High
School base ball team last spring. will be
in charge of the team after Coach White
departs OF course. the high school series
will be ended by this time, but, neverthe-
less, the schedule Is not completed
1t is questionable IL there was ever a
better contract handed out to a college
ball player than the one White received
last week. McGraw thinks SO well of
White that he has promised to keep him
a whole year on the bench and carry him
south with him next spring. White will
have a good chance of making good. as
he is powerfully built man, and pos
sesses a good pitching arm.

the weevil has deposited its eggs, the
agents now feel sure, is the only
practical method of combat. They
have observed where this practice has
succeeded and where a failure to fol-
low it has meant the ruin of cotton.
By killing the weevil when it first ap-
pears means to prevent a handful Of
them from developing and eating the
cotton later in the season.
Mr.. Jones and the other agents
brought a large number Of weevils
back to Georgia in bottles of alcohol.
They propose for the farmers to get
acquainted with their future visitor
and give him the warmest welcome
they can when he arrives.
The weevil, it is reported, is yet
nearly 200 hundred miles from Ter
rell county, and it will be two or
three years before it reaches here.

A MISSION FOR CHRIST.

may never see Christ until they see

Him until by our works we glorify
Him. | remember on one occasion
hearing a beautiful butterfly woman
say: AT Sunday school, as usual,
today we talked and prayed about
missions, and there sat a little Afri-
can maid on the outside who had
come to bring one of the children.
When we went home my husband
said to me, Where is the consistency
in the lives of mission workers?
Don't they intend ever to help these
poor ones?" Friends, outsiders,
those whom you think are to be left
outside are thinking along these lines
perhaps more seriously than some of
you are doing.
In discussing the negro question
not long since with a butterfly OF
pale green shading with touches of
color in both black and emerald, she
exclaimed, what! you at a negro
prayer meeting? My! 1 think more
of myself than to put myself on
equality with a negro!" Poor but
terf1y; circles under her eyes. Blind

though a Prince, the son of king,
took upon Himself the form of a
servant and went about the earth
doing good. She knew not how that
He has commanded us to strengthen
feeble knees and lift up the fallen
ones. She knew not perhaps that
His kingdom is not of the world and
that the reason for working among
the Hamitic race is not that of undo
ing what God has done in the way of
social equality, but that our ideas
are simply to pay in part debt We

From time to time much has been

In Dawson there are some of the
best people on the globe. There is
no use trying to knock them, for
they are not carnival babies. They
will be sitting right still in the boat
when Gabriel blows his trumpet;
their affections are set upon high,
and you can't turn them. In the
world there are many bright, beauti-
full. capable butterflies, those who
feed only on the lily and the rose.
Their lives are full of kindness, full
of good cheer; they do many good
deeds, we know, yet fly on and on
in their beauty, and like poor Mar
cissus who saw herself or the shadow
of herself in the lake because of re-
fected beauty drowned herself, just
so this butterfly existence may find
them deceived when the Master Gar
dener comes.
