lumbus, as she is one of the
worlds most noted vocalists, and

roles with the company. is now

CAMPAIGN AGAINST
HOOEWORM BEGINS
FREE TREATMENT TO Be GIVEN
DR.. D. D. Gill. Assisted by DR.. c.
H. Love, Will Make Fight
Fight Against Disease in
This County

Under the direction of DR.. D.
D. Gill. who is to be assisted by
DR.. C. H. Love, a local fight
against the hookworm has been
inaugurated. and an effort will
be made to entirely exterminate
the disease in Lowndes county.
The effect which the disease
has upon persons attacked will
be shown in illustrated lectures
and free treatment will be ad-
ministered. The first one of the
lectures showing how the hook
worm attacks human beings and
gradually destroys all vitality and
energy took place at Rural Hill
school house Tuesday night, and
o.her lectures will be given
throughout the county, it being
the intention of those having
charge of the work to give these
lectures in every neighborhood,
so that no person will be forced
to travel more than two or three
miles in order to hear one of
them.
In addition to delivering these
lectures at various points through
out the country, DR.. Gill and DR..
Love will maintain headquarters
at the court house in this city,
and will be there every Satur-
day to consult with victims OF
the disease and to prescribe for
them, both the advice and medi-
cine piescribed sor treatment be
ing absolutely free.
DR.. Gill and DR.. Love have
just concluded a campaign
against hookworm in Oktibbehs
county, where they treated more
than two thousand victims of the
disease.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
$4,000 IS TO Be EXPENDED
Benches are to Replace Opera
Chairs and Both Interior
and Exterior Of Edifice
Will be Repainted

Extensive improvements are
under way at the First Presby-
terian church. and when COM
pleted the edifice will not only
present more modern appear
ance but the auditorium will have
a greater seating, capacity, which
is made necessary by the con-
stant growth of the congregation.
The steeple and all the trim
mings on the exterior of the
building are to be repainted and
the opera chairs in the auditor
ium will be removed, giving
place to benches. This will not
only give the auditorium more
modern appeara ice but will in
crease the seating capacity,
which since Rev. K. B. Eggles-
ton assumed the pastorate of the
church has not been sufficiently
large to accommodate tie con-
gregation.
The Improvements, which will
involve an expenditure of $500,
are now under way, and while
they are in progress services will
be held in the Sunday school
room.

ALADAMIAAS TAKE
TWO FROM LOCALS
WON MONDAY AHO YESTERDAY
All Three Games Were Inter-
estins and Were Witnessed
by Large and Enthusi-
astic Crowds

Columbus and Selma played
the concluding game of the series
at Lake Park yesterday after
noon, the Alabamians having
been victorious by a score of to
0.
Selma made her score in the
sixth inning, when May walked,
stole second and crossed the plate
on Overton's two bagger. CO.
lumbus had two men on bases
several times during the progress
of the game, but failed to EN-
brace her opportunities to score.
Baker and Sewer were lae op-
posing pitchers. and each allowed
four hits. Baker, however, had
better control over the ball than
did the local twirler, and pitched
more effectively at critica
periods.
Columbus and Selma began a
series of three games on the
Lake Park diamond Monday af-
ternoon, and the Alabamians
copped the opening contest, hav-
ing defeated the locals by a score
of 5 to l.
Poole was in the box for the
locals, ard pitched with fair
effectiveness, but received poor
support. no less than seven err
rors having been credited to his
team mates He was opposed by
Sanford. who maintained splen-
did control of tie spheroid, ghile
the aen behind hin iiyioed with
almost clock-like precision. hav-
ing accepted many difficult
chances, grabbing grounders and
snatching flies that in slower
games would have counted as
hits.
Parker, who has been detained
at Augusta, where he was an i'm
portant witness in court trial,
appeared for the first time this
season on second ba e. He is in
fine condition, and his playing
was right up to the notch. A
feature of the game was double
play by the Columbians. There
were two men on bases and none
out, when a batsman hit to Poole,
who threw to third, catching q
runner, and Taylor promptly for
warded the ball to second, where
Parker caught it and tagged an
other Albanian who was at.
tempted to make a circuit arount
the diamond. Another feature
was the stick work of Hamblin

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1913-06-21

That the present wave of criticism
of our laws, institutions and admin
istrations, is leading US to dangerous
lengths of legislation is 1.-THE view of
many public men, but none occupies
position which gives this view so much
weight as does the chief justice of the
United State supreme court, who was
the commencement day orator at
Brown university. In the course of
his remarks Judge White said: '"The
very foundation of our free institu-
tions was the belief, not in the march
of triumphant democracy, not in
the march of popular feeling and pop
ular conduct unrestrained, but that
men could restrain themselves, that
great principles could be written into
our national life which could steer and
guide and restrain and hold US and
lead us on, free from anarchy, full of
liberty, with life and property and
everything that blesses mankind saved
and secured Look around in this
great land today. Where is there a
country like it? The world has never
seen the equal of it and the world will
never see its endurance if the Ameri-
can people forget the foundation prin-
ciples of their free institutions because
of what they imagine to be an evil
here and an evil there, and seek to pull
down the pillars of the temple in
order that they may destroy what they
suppose to be rat within the house.
Let US frown down this attempt which
is growing within the land Many
thoughtless people today suppose that
everything that is wrong is wrong in
the institutions; when, without the
institutions, here would be no right
| and everything wrong.

BEYOND.

1t seems such a little way to me
Across to that strange country, the be
yond;
And yet, not strange for it has grown
The home of those of whom I am so
They make it seem familiar and most
dear,
As iourneying friends bring distant
countries near.
So close it lies that when my sight
is clear
almost think l see the cleaning
strand,
know I feel those who have gone
from here
Come near enough to sometimes touch
my hand
l often think but for our yelled eyes,
We should find heaven right about us
lies.
I cannot make it seem a day to
dread
When from this dear earth I shall
journey out
To that still dearer country of the
dead,
And join the lost ones so long
dreamed about
love this world, yet shall I love to
60
And meet the friends who wait for
/ me, l know.
I never stand above a bier and see
The seal of Death set on some vel
/ loved face,
But that / think, one more to welcome
me
When I have crossed the intervening
space
Between the world and that one ovel
there.
One more to make the Strange Beyond
seem fair.
And so to me there is no sting t.
death.
And so the grave has lost its victory
1t is but crossing with bated breatl
And white set face, a little strip o
sea
To find our loved ones waiting on tn
shore,
More beautiful, more precious than be
