JORDAN DECLARES HE
is OUT OF BASEBALL
FOR GOOD THIS TINE

A. Otto Jordon, former Brunswick
baseball manager, is out of baseball
for good, if Otto's own word is to be
taken for it. Otto has turned from the
diamond to the Ford Motor Car COM
pany and holds a position in the as
sembling plant at Atlanta which he
declares he does not want to leopard
ize by engaging in baseball this year.
Otto started at the bottom with the
Ford people and discovered that put
ting "flivcers" together was fully as re
munerative as the former place Of
baseball manager.
Waycross wanted Jordan this year,
but he was forced to decline and de
claring that he has only about three
more years of baseball in his system
announced that he probably was out
of the game for good.

of the boats ventured out yesterday.
The Bernice, owned by Aatcn
Krauss, brought in about 10000 pounds

The above tells i'll a nutshell the re

of the meeting of the Glynn county
Democratic executive committee,
which met for the first time in two
years. In the reorganization Of the

date of the primary, was the adoption
Of a resolution providing for a strictly
secret ballot the first time that such
in this county.
In the past few years the so-called
secret ballot has been supposedly in
effect but it has not been secret at
all. The resolution, fixing the date,
the rules, etc, and providing for the
secret ballot is quite a long one.
In the past, as voters are aware,
when they walked into vote they were
| handed a ticket by one of the mana
gers, who placed a number on it. The
voter went into "a booth and prepared
! his "secret ballot" But the number
was its Identification. A correspond
| ing number was placed on the mana
gers list and, while of course it has
never been done, all that was neces-
sary % find out how this man or that
man voted was to refer to the ballot
and then to the managers list.
| Under the resolution adopted yes
terday this numbering of ballots will
/ be eliminated. The voter will be
i handed a ticket when he walks in to
vote; he will be given three minutes
| in the booth in which to prepare it.
[ He will then walk out and deposit his
ticket in the ballot box without any
number of any other mark Of indenti-
ficatiOn.

good for the good OF the loved one.
And If our Christianity is a cold, cal
culating bargain with God that we
will do certain things and believe
certain creeds in return for the boon
of eternal life, there is no religion
in it. God Is not striking a bargain
with men, but demands of them their
service as reasonable expectation
the matter OF saving them from the
penalty OF sin is free gift.
What amounts to the most with
us, then, If we would truly be
counted as Gods children, is to re-
main faithful to the end. Christians
by spurts are no Christians at all,
Those who give up their principle
whenever occasion calls for them to
placate public opinion or devote all
their energy to worldly affairs are
not faithful servants. The reward, in
this life as well as in eternity Is to
them that overcome the Influences
that pull them away from Christ.
our greatest enemy Is often our own
unregenerated nature. Tho devil
within us is something we often have
more need to be protected from than

perseverJ in their living and pracu-
cal devotion to the Savior, for we
have the more immediate assurance
that he who remains faithful Is also
the most happy in this life. Just as
Paul rejoiced to suffer for the name
of the Lord and esteemed Simself
highly favored as being chosen to
bear the cross for his Master so
the devoted follower of Jesus finds
joy and consolation even In the hard
things OF life, for he knows that
God is taking count of his sacrifice
and Is pleased that no evil can di-
vert them from fidelity, Nothing
can so rob the evils of life of their
sting, nothing can ease the invalid's s.
pain or nerve the martyr to sing in
the midst of flame like the knowl-
edge that God, who gave his only son
as a ransom for sinners, is being
served by his sufferings and that the
gospel Is being spread to that much
more of mankind thru the instru-
mentality of his sacrifices. For with
out sacrifice there is no real affec-
ton. We do not love anybody until
we are ready to give up our own
