formal announcement of Mr.. Lee
Gamer, Of Pine Creek, Center
d riot, for the Democratic NOM
nation for Clerk of the Circuit
Court. Mr.. Gamer is one of the

trance into toiijics will be graft
flying news 10 his many friends.
Lee Gamer is law-abiding
citizen, a Christian gentleman
and a faithful and energetic
Democrat, who is in every way
qualified to Fl | the office to which
he aspires. He was candidate
for the nomination for County
superintendent several years ago
and was defeated by Coleman j.
Gamer. He has not. nor any of
his family who all have been life
long, active Democrats, have
ever held an office and he now
feels that it would not be wrong
to reward his faithfulness TO his
party. Mr.. Gamer is a member
of no clique, clan or faction, bu'
is a clean, independent Demo
crat whom the voters Of the
county will do well to consider
carefully before voting.

COURSE OF A PITCHED BALL.
Why Straight Fast One Jumps side
WAYS In the Air

That pitched baseball curves In the
direction in which the nose Of the ball
Is moving because of the spin upward
1t the twist given by the pitcher il up
ward. toward the right II the twist ia
TO the right. aud so On--is matter OF
experience TINT is quite comprehensi-
ble. but how II hard pitched ball should
jump sldewise in most Irregular
manner. although pitched straight
without spinning is certainly Duzzliug.
In the Journal OF the Franklin Iusti.
tute Professor W. S. Franklin OF e
high university eXpounds the phenome-
non as we'll as the philosophy OF twist
cd balls MultItudes OF "fans~ who
nave always supposed that the IaflIjne
qualities or straight pitched hult
were due simply TO it's swiftness never
suspected this eccentricity. Professor
Franklin states the case I'm this way.
Consider n very smooth ball which IS
moving through still wnter without
spinning. There Is certainly no more
reason why the ball should jump TO
the right than to the left Therefore IL
must continue to move strnigb for
ward. That is good logic Rut such n
pall ~ no more subject TO logic than Is
q sharp stick. The fact Is TINT the bali
does jump sldewise and In most ir-
regular manner. This may be shown
by dropping a smooth marble In n lar
OF still water. The marble goes nenrlv
straight for several inches and then
suddenly Jumps sidewlse Similarly n
smooth baseball jnmps-sidewise irreo-
ularly as II moves through the air AZ
the ball Is not spinning
The explanation lies IN the fact that
q rapidly moving stream Of air splite
when It flows past bali with unstable
dividing lines or vortex sheets The
unstable sheet will squirt now upward
now downward. The condition Is the
same when the ball splits the air and
Is shunted In o CHANGING manner past
the bat The only requisite for this
battling effect Is power In the pitchers
arm.

by the Democratic Executive Com
mlttee Of Calhoun county.
Il. II. STUMP.

The candidacy of Allen Hard
man, Sir, Of Center district. for
the Democratic nomination for
County Clerk, is announced in
this issue of the Chronicle. as will
be seen by a glance at the an
nouncement column. Mr.. Hard
man is one of the prominent and
prosperous farmers and stockmen
Of this section and is well known
in all parts of the county. He
made spirited and aggres sive
race fer the nomination for sher-
itf two years ago and was defeat
ed only By a small majority.
Mr. Hardman cores from a
family that has rendered invalu-
able lid to the Democratic party
a. d he, himself, has been found
fighting Democrac::'s bat les in
campaigns for the past forty
years. He has never Leen re-
va dcd with office and his friends
c aim it is 'imc he vas accorded
some honor.
Aggressive, popular and an ex-
clllent campaigner, he will lend
Strength to the ticket in the event
he is the nominee of the conven-
ten.

PrCgreSSiyeS in Writ Organize

Ah, ha! The News gets it
from good authority that the
Bull Moose Committee, for this
county, will hold a meeting here
May 9 for the purpose of calling
a mass county convention to put
a Straight ticket in the field, and
that sail convention will likely
be he'd on Saturday May 10th,
which is one eek earlier than
the time set fer holding the Re
publican county convention.
The above from last weeks
issue of the Kanawha News in
dica es that the Writ county Pro-
gressives are alert and ready for
battle. What the followers of
Roosevelt will do in this county
is largely problematic as yet.
Hon. r. L. Hays, Of Arnolds-
burg, is the Progressive state
commit eeman from this county,
and so far as we have learned,
he has never yet indicated his
intention Of organizing his party
for the caI paign Of 1914.

CRITICISING A CRITIC.
Points For the Purist Who Found
Flaws In Gray's "Eieqy."


Flaws In Gray's "Eiegy"
To look for and find in masterpieces
little flaws, real or imagined. is an &C.
cupation that must have its mysterious
joys, otherwise. as it brings no profit,
the task would not command all the
time and labor that are devoted to it,
nor would every such discovery be so
exultingly proclaimed. This condition
Is based, or, rather. its repetition, by
the letter in which correspondent
confessed that, having heard verbal
perfection ascribed to Gray's "Elegy,"
he was moved carefully to examine the
verses on the chance Of proving this
praise undeserved. And he did, he
thinks. having found no less than two
errors In the lines:
Their name. their years. spelt by the un-
lettered muse

And many q holy text around she strews

the stones bore not one but several

"teachw
Now. just why Gray put the word

plural might be made the subject OF in
genious inquiry, with any one of half
dozen sufficient explanations as recon-
pense and all inconclusive, but to see
force in the diversity OF village patro-
nymics-that requires more than inge-
nulty; 1t demands perversity. AS for
"many holy text" that does indeed.

Critics of this sort never will learn
