PITCHER ROTH IS SIGNED;

Roth Will Make Debut With Barons This Afternoon-Pcher Harbin Placed Ineligible List-Magee Placed

By REUBEN A. LEWIS

big fellow has seemingly recovered the use of his powerful right, for he whipped the ball across with a decided zip and free motion. He seems to experience little discomfort in pitch ing at top speed.
 Harbin is determined to return to the Southern. If Roth shows to ad- vantage in Memphis this afternoon, the youngster will be shipped to Waco or Evansville. The announcement did not discourage the Texan, for he at tributes his showing to irregular labor on the mound and overwork in the "bull pen" Harbin has been held in reserve for every emergency on the slab. As the result of constantly warming up" for the occasion, he has been robbed of his strength. No pitcher could maintain a zip" on a fast ball or dispense fast breaking curves under such conditions.
 Tt seems as if l am going to Waco" said IIarbin yesterday afternoon, but I'll be right back here next year. l realize that 1 haven't the proper stuff right now. but such constant work as I have experienced as relief pitcher has robbed me of my usual stamina. I will be glad to return to Texas, where I can work regularly. but before I leave l intend to rest a week or ten days.'
 Molesworth will attach a string to Magee. He believes that the speedy outfielder will prove a sensation with Utica. and that the added experience will prime him for a good year with the Barons in 1915. He will join the Utica club immediately. In the same league is Large William McGilvray, who is first passing for the Troy club
 Before EIarbin is disposed of he will be consulted as to whether he de- sires to go to Evansville or Texas. In all probability, he will elect Waco.

STEWART'S HOME RUN
 SAVES BARONS TWO
 DEFEATS BY THE VOLS
>IG Dave Roth is a Baron.

n IG Dave Roth is a Baron.
 Before the Barons departed A-~ for Memphis. the huge mounds man attached David L. Roth to the regulation pink slip. presented by Manager Molesworth and thereby qualified for immediate action. Roth will make his premier appearance with Birmingham this afternoon. when he will oppose Mique Finn's Chicks with his moist slant.
 The addition of Roth necessitated the disposal of two players. Jimmy Magee bade his mates a fond farewell last night, for he has been placed on an optional agreement with the Utica club in the New York State league. Pitcher Harbin has been placed on the Ineligible list, as no action will be taken until Roth makes his first appearance under fire. Harbin did not accompany the Barons to Memphis.
 
 Waivers were secured without trou- ble on both Magee and Harbin. How ever, minor league clubs were de- cidedly anxious to land both of the players to retrench their clubs for the final spurt. The Evansville club, in the Central league, and Waco and Austin, in the Texas league, made offers for Harbin, who proved a con sistent winner last year with Calves ton. As the youngster felt that he needed a rest, he was placed on the in- eligible list by Chubby Carton.
 In taking such action, Molesworth fortifies himself against the unexpect- ed. Roth has shown enough stuff in practice at Redwood to force Molesworth to hazard the chance. The

GOOD PLACES NOT TO DUMP.

The cleanup committee is looking
for some good places to use as dumps
this week While it is looking for
such places. il is well to call atten-
lion to several places that ought not
to be used as dumps.
One of the places that ought not to
be so used is the gutter of a road.
Another is the side of hill slOpins
away from such a road but in plain
view of it.
The gutter of the road running south
from the University chicken farm 10
piled high with trash. just a short dis
tance from the farm Along the sides
of many roads running out Of the city
rubbish has been dumped on slopes
that are convenient.
But convenience is not the only test
for good dumping place. In fact 1t
is the least. Dumps should be in
places that are ordinarily out of sight
and where they will not bother any
water supply. There is not much use
in cleaning one place to dirty another.

explain himself in his own words. A
happy combination of story and il
Illustrations was made when kemble
drew the pictures for the book.
The story, or rather the ten stories,
for there is no attempt at plot and
each chapter explains itself, is in
way psychological study of the
race question 1t is done so simply
and unscientifically, if that word may
be used here in a special sense, that
the reader is not at first aware he is
getting anything but pleasant fiction.
Ezekiel is the hero and he does
most of the talking in the book. lie
is a pupil in a Southern negro school,
a leader of his fellows, and the main
object of study of his teachers. The
teachers are young white women
from New England. who are full of
ideals for the negro race. Their at
tempts to get intimately acquainted
with their pupils generally result in
shock to their ideals. For every
occasion Ezekiel has a story, and
these stories are wonderful bits of
narration. His childish imagination
gets the better of him, and until he
has finished, one can never tell just
how far from truth and reason his
fancy will take him.
Some of the chapters are funny and
some pathetic, and one is a sharp
satire on the inconsistency with
which the color line is kept.
At the end of the story, Miss Jane
Lane. one of the teachers. starts back
to New England, taking Ezekiel with
her. She wants to give him the ad-
vantages of life in the North among
people of a better race. Their first
stop in a city convinces Ezekiel that
he belongs back home, so he begs to
be allowed to return to his own peo-
pie. and another of Miss Lanes ideals
is shattered. (HoughtOn, Miffiin

4 TEMPERANCE HEROINE GONE.

Mrs. Lillian VI. y. Stevens of Maine
is dead. Another one of the heroic
pioneers of the prohibition movement
has passed away without being per-
mitted to see the final consummatiOn
of her labors.
Such men and women as Mrs. Stew
ems deserve the real credit for the
widespread sentiment which prevails
now against the use of intoXicants.
They braved the jeers and taunts of an
unfavorable public until victory seems
near.
There is something cheering in Mrs.
Stevens being permitted before her
death 10 know of the order issued by
the Secretary of the Navy prohibiting
the use of liquor on any battleship of
the United States or upon any naval
reserve. Her pleasure was very keen.
Splendid" she said.
The love and admiration for Frances
f. Willard has grown through the
wears. 1t will doubtless be thus with
her successor as national president OF
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union. Mrs. Lillian NJ. y. Stevens.

that it was awarded the prize Of

1t is enjoyable reading; there is no
question about that. But 1t Is some
thing like eating ices or sherbets:
they taste good, but there is little
satisfying in them. One feels that a
prize of $4,000 should have drawn
into competition a writing Of more
serious merit.

VIEWPOINTS
The Columbia Negro.

Editor the MisSOurian:-Thet time is
here when something must be done
about the negro problem in Columbia
If you do not believe that, just take
walk down through "nigger town.
The obscenity and profanity from both
sexes will drive you back Mortified.
To ignore the proposition is like
holding your nose and saying that a
hogpen does not stink. Something has
to be done, and quickly. There are
negro pool halls. dance halls and other
loafing places which are hOtbeds Of
evil.
OF course it is the easy and the
somewhat popular thing to take the
attitude of the typical SOutherner and
say "Oh well. it's just a niger, and
a niger is all right in his place. only
you want to cuss him occasionally
Or assume the so-called Northern atti-
tude of friendship for the negro and
then proceed to do absolutely nothing.
When one realizes that many ne
groes are but little more than centu-
ry removed from barbarism, one mar
vels that they are as good as they are
with the help they have had from their
environment 1t is begging the ques-
ton to say that they are not our So
cial equals. OF course they are not
Few if any of them claim that they
are. On the other hand no one of
sense denies that they are human with
souls and that they are with us to
stay-the sooner We learn that the bet
ter.
The data which has been collected
by the different classes in sociology
could be put to practical use. While
we are raising funds to send boys and
girls to school, it would be in place
to back the Bartlett Negro Agricultur-
al School in Charlton County by a
fund to send several well-deserving
negroes to it.
And all in all the people of Colum-
bia must awake to the fact that some
thing must be done. The conditions
as they are Jow are running sore.
