NOTES
Muckalee fans will receive the news
that Mitternacht has sent in his sign
ed contract with rejoicing. The fans
remember the big boy as a handy
player. Mitternacht is an infielder,
but can take his turn in the box with
the other pitchers, if necessary. Then
he has a way of slamming the ball
that is pleasing to Muckalee fans, who
dote on a smuggling ball club.
The Merchants have been challenged
for ball game by the lawyers AMI
courthouse officials. RAN" of court
house fame, has agreed to act as wa
ter-boy on the festive occasion.
Gates, the big outfielder signed by
Wagnon, writes that he is in good
shape and expects to have good year.
John has played with this man AMI
stands sponsor for him.
But speaking of big men, Wagnon
has two hefty individuals trying out
for first base. Schwartz, of Birming-
ham, and Fix, of Jacksonville, are the
aspiring first-sackers. Schwartz is
over six feet and tips the beam at
100. He comes highly recommended
by Wordsworth, manager of the Birm-
ingham Barons. Fix is just as tall and
weighs 1856. He has played fast semi
pro ball around Jacksonville and the
wise ones there tout him as a conner.

THE LAWYERS ISSUE
CHALLENGE To
MERCHANTS

Declaring themselves champions OF
the city, the lawyers and courthouse
officials have hurled challenge at tie
merchants of Americas to meet them
in ball game to be staged at Mucka-
lee park. The lawyers have a huncn
that they can put one over on the
merchants and are all too willing to
prove their supremacy.
Just whether or not the merchants
will heed this challenge remains to be
seen. Several CIV the storemen are old
heads at the game. 1t is more than
likely they will pick up the legal
gauntlet and fling it back at Blalock,
Hixon, Ellis, Dodson, Sheppard, ct al.
The game, provided the merchants
accept the challenge, will be played
early in April as a benefit for the
baseball association. That the game
will prove an interesting innovation
to the fans and net neat sum for the
ball club is the belief of those that
provoked the challenge.
1t has been suggested that Judge
Littlejohn handle the indicator in this
game. The judge will be assited by
John Wagnon, manager of the Mucka-
lees.
Despite dire threats and earnest ap-
peals the lawyers refuse steadfastly
to divulge their lineup. Captain Bla-
lock insists that he has several Wal
ter Johnsons and Ty Cobbs ready for
for the game and just wants chance
to line them up against Captain Jim
Pinkston's hopefuls

A TALK With AN AMERICUS
Man
Mr.. Ryals, OF BrannOn Ave-, Tells Of
An Interesting Experience.

There is nothing like a talk with
one of our own citizens for giving
hope and encouragement to the anx-
ious sufferer from the dread kidney
disease. We, therefore, give here an
interview with an Americas man:
W. R. Ryals, engineer, Seaboard Air
Line, 221 Brannon Ave, Americas,
says; 81 had ad ulI, dragging ache
across my back which causes my limbs
to feel numb. l have this trouble prin-
cipally when on my feet for uny length
of time. Sometimes l have backache,
caused by the strain of being in
cramped position so long, or the jar
ring and jolting of the engine. need
only to take few Doan's Kidney Pills
to get prompt relief. l often carry
them while at work and always keep
them in my home"

Wagnon Signs
Mitterndcht

Manager John Wagnon this morn
ing received signed contract from
Mittenacht, the big boy who was on
the Muckalee payroll for several
weeks last season. Midnight" has
been wintering in Mobile, and writes
that he is ready for the opening of
the season.
Manager Wagnon expects to play
this big boy at second base or in the
outfield. 1t is possible that he may
be called on occasionally to take a
turn in the box, as he is a good,
steady slab artist.
With Mitternacht showing anything
like his old form of the first of last
season, Wagnon has a reliable man for
his team. The boy hits we'll fields
his position in good style and is rug
ged enough to stand any amount OF
hard work.

1t is likely that quite a few Americas
fans will journey down to the Dougher-
ty county city to see the Scots. We
just cant get over not having them
with us to train this season.
President Dick Jemison has laid
down the law to all of the clubs n
regard to umpire batting. The Con-
stitution sporting scribe announces
that he will not tolerate rough stuff
for a moment. We're with you, Dick.
Count on us down here. Nothing mars
the game like a scrap on the field.
The Hospital association is anxious
that all of the 1000 Booster tickets
now out to be disposed of as speedily
possible. Any fan that has not yet
bought his or her ticket is urged 10
do so at once. If one of the commit
tee fails to call on you, phone Mrs. C.
C. Hawkins, president of the Hospital
association, or T. o. Marshall presi-
dent of the Baseball association, and
one of the young ladies will call
around with the Dashboard for your

Resignation Of Rerchtold.

One of the dominant diplomatic figures in
Europe Count Berchtold foreign minister
for Austria, has Just passed into eclipse tenn
porary, maybe, but OF great Importance Just at
this time. Count Berchtold has been most
aggressive advocate OF the Germanic as op-
posed to the Slavonic influence on world az
fairs and especially has he moved for the ex-
tension OF Austrian control in Balkan politics
II was through him that Austria interviewed in
the settlement OF conditions at the end of the
war between the Balkan coalition and Turkey:
he brought about the annexation of Herzegovina
and Bosnia, and deprived Servia Of the port on
and Adriatic, and, finally. II was Won Berchtold
who sent TO Servia the note that set in motion
the present war. That he should retire from the
ministry at this time Is one of the really note
worthy developments OF the recent days of tho
war
IL is scarcely possible that Won Berchtold
resigned without having consulted with Berlin
because OF the community OF interest between
Austria and Germany. That he IL to be sue
ceeded by Hungarian statesman is also sig
nificant for this may be taken as a sign that
a better understanding is sought for In the af-
fairs OF the dual monarchy, If It has not actually
been reached, and the cause for friction that
might have led to serious dissensions between
Austria and Hungary is thus removed II this
be true. the position OF the Teutonic allies is
strengthened by the move.
That Austria would endeavor to adjust mat
ters at home so far as possible TO preserve the
unity Of the empires fighting forces is natural
With the impending entry OF Roumania and
italy into the war, II is imperative that the Ger
manic allies keep their lineup unbroken by do
nestle disagreements.

Short Ballot for Commercial Club.


The Commercial club election Just held has
developed new form Of ballot, which is, ap-
parently. an improvement what has gone
before, but which invites still further improve
ment The purpose OF the election was to fiji
sixty places on the directory, for which 2s9
names we're submitted to the bewildered cleo
torate. The division Of the lists into groups.
with different number to be chosen out Of
each group, doubtless relieved the pressure
somewhat, but still left the ballot cumbersome
and confusing.
Let us suggest a short ballot movement for
Commercial club elections. The thing for the
Commercial club to do next is to elect its d.
rectors for three years instead Of one year, and
TO divide them into three classes with over
tapping terms, so that only one-third will 60
out each year. Let the group system be con-
tinued, II desirable, for choosing the twenty d.
rectors annually by requiring the successor OF
each outgoing member to come from the same
group. II the Commercial club is as progress
sive as we believe 1t is, 1t will start the short
ballot at home and lead by its own example

A REGAL CONFLICT.

Eva Dean. In New York Times.
The sunset donned a shining robe:
Who else is clothed as we'll as I?'
She proudly thought Il always wear
The latest colors of the sky"
She glanced down at the quiet earth.
So gravely CARRIED in green and brown
And saw the saucy river there,
cad In copy OF her gown.
Indignantly her cloudy scarf
She flung aside, so all could see
The splendor of her glowing gold
And ruby bordered drapery.
But straightway, from her bed below,
The laughing river Haunted wide
garment quite as elegant,
Spread broadly on her flowing tide.
The angry sunset mortified
Flushed crimson with embarrassment;
But down below the river Knocked,
Still shamelessy impertinent.
Then, purple, in her stately rage.
The sunsets glowing visage grew;
And straight, the rivers dimpled face
TOOK on an angry purple, too.
No more could any sunset stand.
she dropped her veil of midnight blue:
But first she pricked some holes therein
To watch the flippant river through.
The river saw the tiny holes.
with their escaping beams so bright,
And scattered Ger her dancing waves
AS many haunting, twinkling light
So they contend. as they have done.
For ages more than man has known

Thinks all life's conflicts are Lis own.

The War and nnr Rusins,s.

The United States seems 60 be turning the
corner now. The general situation is still cor
fused and complex, but IL is distinctly more
hopeful. The total of our crops is astounding
i'm quantity and incredible in value, the market
worth Of the years output being calculated at
some $3.50 100000. This figure is not com
prehcnsible, hut It does indicate solid prosper
ity for the farming states, despite the losses
by the cattle epidemic, and it does give real
basis for general business recovery. The re-
sulting swing upward IS most marked, OF
course, in those sections where the higher
priced crops of last season were grown, as iu
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and the northwest.
We have and will have our losses and pains
from the war, but our national motto is "AII
aboard for 1015!"-Collier's Weekly.

Earthquake and Battle Shocks,

Under normal conditions. the earthquake
that rocked Italy would be looked upon as
world calamity. AS IL II. the news Of the disaster
falls upon ears dulled by the din Of war and
the significance OF the occurrence dwindles
nightly In comparison. The loss of life in
quieter times would be appalling. but the total
looks very small when set alongside that of
modern battlefield. A few minutes work with
the great engines used by the armies brinss
about more havoc than is charged to this trem-
blor. Man has improved on natures methods
for destruction of life and property. and what
ordinarily would cause tremendous excitement
is nowadays accepted as a matter OF course.
Yet the news from Italy will not be heard
with apathetic Indifference. The sympathy OF
the American people for the Italians who have
suffered loss will not be the less sincere be-
cause the destruction wrought by the earth
quake falls something short Of that Accomplished
by the armies In the field.
