Dfxieland doesn't seem overanxious
to witness big league clubs in action
this spring. The Grif1s drew small
crowds for their three games at At
lanta last week. causing "Perduke"
Fowler to crouch and growl. The
Braves touring with the Yankees in
the tai grass along the Eastern coast
have yet to attract much money.
The Tigers and Reds, transforming
together, have not teased out many
fans to see them. The Giants and In
dams have the same tale to tell 1t
has been the same story everywhere.
The fact will not down that the fans
OF the South decline to take seriously
these spring exhibition games. no
matter what their disguise.
Then, with the natural rivalry be-
tween the leagues preventing much
use of new players. the managers are
beginning to see the folly of barn
storming for revenue. They have
about decided to train for future tri-
umphs and let the treasure chests
take care OF themselves.
They're On Sale Today.
Tickets for the opening game Of
the 1915 American League season
went on sale this morning at Ameri-
can League Park. Seventh street and
Georgia avenue. with a fair-sized
crowd on hand. Beginning tomorrow,
the sale will be continued at Spald-
ing's. Fourteenth street, until the day
of the game, when it will go back toI
the ball park.
AS in past years. a large demand
has been received from trade organi-
Hations in bulk, and, with the game
booked to start at o'clock. there
should be few empty seats at the ball
yard when Walter Johnson uncurls
his salary flIpper and begins TO work
on Frank Gilhooley, the Yankees lead
of man.
The probable batting order for the
opening day is as follows:

ity are so strong for the club that
when II happens 20 rain on a Sunday
their entire afternoon is completely
ruined. This calamity occurred one
day last summer and two discOnsolate
spectators drifted away declaring
1hey might as well bo wet inside as
ont. They arrive at the nearest mer-
~ mucilage parlor. but one guy says:
Don't go in here. Let's find a place
where they keep -- beer" men,
tIoning a certain brew. The other
agrees. so they roam around in the
rain for half an hour before they
found a saloon advertising the kind
of beer they desire. They slide
through the little side door. shake
a few puddles off their coat and
hats, then edge up to the bar and
the following ensues:
"What'Il YOU have"
"Um--Iets see. i'll have milk

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

We are all at a danger point. On
the use of good common sense In our
1918 farm and garden operations de-
pends prosperity or our "going broke.
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit and make
money. Food and grain Is higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices. .....
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. 1t
will save you more money than you
made on the best three acres of cotton
you ever grew!
Hastings 1918 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of money saw
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it. It tells about the farm crops as
well and shows you the clear road to
real and regular farm prosperity. It's
Free. Send for it today to II. g.

BANANAS.

There is a widespread belief tnat
bananas are hard to digest and may
give rise to alimentary distress.
Inasmuch as bananas are common
" eaten uncooked, more or less raw
starch will be taken into the stomach
# the fruit is not fully ripe. The
really ripe banana has a yellow
brown peel. The ripe banana is
about one-ffth sugar, while the
green is one-ffth starch.
Raw starch may be singularly lr-
ritating to the alimentary tract and
is poorly utilized by the body. No
one would advise the use OF uncook-
ed potatoes, yet many eagerly eat
raw and unripe bananas.
The banana is not only a higher
power fuel for the body, but it is al
so rich in the desirable salts.
The onion has long been consider
ed a valuable food because OF its
mineral salts, but the banana Is even
more valuable.
A little known commodity in Am
erica is banana flour, but in view OF
the shortage of materials it's one
which should be seriously consider
ed. The fully grown but unrlpe ba-
mana is the source of this flour as 1t
is desired to obtain the carbohy-
drate in the form of starch before
it goes to soluble sugar. The peeled
fruit is dried and ground, the water
content is removed to approximately
Is per cent and during the process
the other ingredients are concentrat-
ed.

THE DIXIE HIGHWAY.

Supervisor Stevenson has recelv-
ed a letter concerning the building
of the Dixie Highway, which is re-
produced below. This is matter
which should engage our attention.
It deserves some investigation, that
is if a real permanent highway is
to be built. A representative body
of business men, who are willing
to spare the time and pay their own
expenses should 60 to Asheville and
look into the matter.
The following is the letter:
Augusta Board of Commerce,
Office of Secretary,
Augusta, Ga.
Chairman Board of County Com
missioners, Abbeville, S. c.,
Dear Sir
Thursday, March 18th, the Dixie
Highway meeting will be held in
Asheville, N. C. It is proposed to
extend the Dixie Highway from
Knoxville, Tenn, to Savannah, Ca,
via Asheville, Greenville, your city
and Augusta. This meeting is call
ed for the purpose of formulating
concrete organization from the
various counties and cities along
the proposed route to present pc
tition to the Dixie Highway Associ'
alton for the extension of this high
way via our city.
We all recognize the advantages
and benefits to be derived from the
Dixie Highway and the importance
of a thorough orgaization for the
securing of same.
AS chairman of the Board Of
County Commissioners of you1
County, you are respectfully urgee
to be in attendance at this meeting
also to appoint committee of a:
many representative citizens from
your county to attend the meeting
as is possible to do so.

will you not therefore, kindly ad

School trustees serve without pay,
and the trustees in the several
school districts Of the county are
generally as nearly representative
men as are the members of the city
council of Abbeville representative
of the best men in this community.
Legislators, jurymen, witnesses
and other men engaged to do tenn
porary public service are not sup
posed to be paid for their services.
It is true that a small amount is
paid all these officers and men but
the amount is paid to cover expenses
because the men mentioned are
called away from home and not for
the services performed. A man who
would 20 to Columbia to represent
the county as legislator and pay
his expenses for no other considera-
ton than to get the salary which
the law provides, would not be a
worthy legislator. The same is true
of a juryman-a man who would
want to serve on the jury for the
amount paid by the county for the
expenses incident to so doing would
not make a good juror.
The members Of the city council
are at no expense to serve the city.
They rarely meet more than once
q month, and we are of the opinion
that enough public spirited men may
be induced to hold seats in the
council without, pay to guard the in
terests Of the city. We believe that
perhaps better men would offer for
the place, or more better men, If
they were not confronted with. the
fact that they might be accused Of
running for two dollar Office.
e.. Now it has been said that some
men are overly anxious to get the
two dollars provided by ordinance
and that some Of them love dol
lar 80 well that they have asked in
the past to be put down as present
at council meetings when they were
not in fact present. We hope that
no such men will be on the council
again soon to+say nothing of the
Board of Commissioners of Public
Works. We need men Of patriot
ism and not misers and peanut men
to run public affairs. The people
might think of this when they 60
to. vote for representatives from the
several wards.
Public Office in Abbeville should
be a public trust, not private
snap. A man who cannot vote to
correct evils for fear he will hurt
the feelings of somebody else should
not serve on any public body. The
city council isno place to favor
friends, nor to punish foes. Only the
good of the city, the faithful, eco
and business-like admins
tration of the city's business will
influence good men.
