Spring Time Here

The business men of Extra had
the audacity and ire to challenge
the school all, to a game of base
ball. The day was propitious that
was set for the contest when they
met to take part in the Athletic
Park. The playing was active
and family attractive on the part
OF the biz, men who were fresh
from their den. They scored midst
loud cheering of those who were
learning the ancient old methods
of the men in the glen. The boys
with their learning beat the men
spite their yearning, and tenacious
ly held to the lead they had made.
The score, at the end, was in
favor of the boys, who won six to
eleven, with errors but seven (?).
Note, Mr.. Harvey received a
broken finger, his recovery looks
favorable, however.

To the Public--Greeting

We are living in an age of the
prevention of many diseases which
have their incubus in insanitary
and unwholesome coditions. It
is we'll known that tuberculosis liz
most prevalent in over-crowded,
unventilated, insanitary, dark
damp houses; that typhoid fever
is the result of contaminated wat
|er and food and that flies hatch
in manure, garbage, ashes and vast
and are known to be the greatest
germ carriers in this latitude.
Within the past few years a
public sanitary conscience has been
developed. Our people are coming
to understand that society must
protect the individual against di-
sease, vice and crime.
Therefore, as Mayor of this city,
l do earnestly request and advise
that all garbage, manure and
waste of whatsoever kind, shall
be removed from yards, streets
and alleys, and that throughout
the entire summer persistant and
constant efforts shall be made to
keep the city clean and that re-
lentless war shall be made against
the house fly.
Done at my office this 22nd day
of April, 1918.

First Ball Game

The game of baseball in the
Athletic Park, Monday between
the Commercial Club and the High
School boys demonstrated the fact
that the "old uns" had not for
gotten how to play the game and
that the boys are practicing ON
too small ground.
In our opinion they could play
much better if they had practiced
more dn the Athletic Park. You
did we'll, boys, but it is in you
to do better. The score was 10 to 9
in favor of the Commercial Club.

SUBPOENA DENIED
BY MRS. RAJ TER
Wife of Hose Agent Says He Is
Not Dodging Service in
Investigation.

Mrs. J. J. Rafter, 80 Dargan place.
wife Of the local manager Of the Fabric
Fire Hose Company. to-day denied that
her husband had been served with a
subpoena to appear before the council
investigating committee on the fire de-
partment probe or that he had vanished
TO avoid testifying. The only service
that has been made on Mr.. Rafter, she
declared. was more than two weeks
ago, when he appeared at the first
hearing Of the committee.
Statements made by City Marshal
Fuller that he made personal service on
Mr.. Rafter at his home last Sunday At
8 a. m. are untrue" Mrs. Rafter said.
The facts are these: At 1915 o'clock
on Sunday morning, March 16, Mr.,
Fuller came to our home. Mr. Demp-
sey, who also lives here. opened the
door. / told Mr.. Fuller my husband
was not here. and he entered the house.
Mr.. Rafter was at home at the time,
though | said he wasn't, but he didn't
want to be served with the subpoena be-
cause Of three important business en-
gagements he had outside Atlanta
After I told Mr.. Fuller my husband
was not at home he tried to serve the
subpoena on me, and l wouldn't accept
it. He then placed the papers on a
mantel in the living room and left the
house. Mr.. Rafter was in the city all
day Monday and Tuesday. Why didn't
Mr.. Fuller serve him with the papers
then? Mr.. Rafter and myself were at
the Piedmont Hotel for more than half
an hour after s o'clock Tuesday night,
March is, and on that same night he
left to fulfill his business engagements.
He has never been in Cairo, III. The
last time | heard from Mr.. Rafter, on
last Monday, he was in Miami, Fla. He
may be home within two days or he
may not come in until next Monday or
Tuesday
my husband has nothing to tell the
investigating committee, and he has
not the time to aid any one in Atlanta
in the settlement of their petty fac
tional disputes. He appeared before the
committee when he was subpenaed two
weeks ago and no papers have ever
been served on him since"
