The bridal pair left Immediately af-

BROOKHAvEN FINALLY
WALLOPS COLUMBIA


The second game Of the series with
Columbia Wednesday afternoon was
started in the rain and wound up in
the darl--and more rain---also consid-
cradle argument.
The wherefores of the disturbance
were about as follows: At the end of
the seventh. inning. Brookhaven having
lead of three to one. Umpire Albert
Powell was asked by the Broolxhaven
managers to cali the game it being all
most too dark to see the ball and rain
ing slightly. His Umps" refused. how
ever, to put an end to the proceedings
and allowed the game to go another
stanza. Columbia got the lucky end of
this and put over three counters, MAX
ing the score read to 3. with the vis-
itors holding the heavy end.
After the eighth inning it was unques-
tionably too dark to play and the game
just "dissolved"--it seemed by mutual
consent-and argument-with the at
mosphere getting denser all the while.
Both teams expressed a willingness to
finish the contest but neither side took
a very determined stand.
A regrettable incident of the game
was the spiking of Beumel. Columbia's
classy catcher, by Second baseman Bris-
| ter in a slide to home. It is conceded
that the accident was the fault of Beu-
mel, who blocked the plate with his
knee and got the iron. As the result
of the injury he was out of the game
for the remainder of the series.
The local fans were very much dis
satisfied over : the outcome insisting
that the game should either have been
called in the seventh or played out the
full nine innings.
Batteries: Columbia Montgomery
and Beumel; Brookhaven-W Wilmington
and Cohen.
BRoOKHAVEN WINS FINAL
The third game was played Thurs
day afternoon and resulted in a. clean
cut victory for the local aggregation
by a score OF to 0.
Freeman, who showed a winning per-
formance for Columbia in the first game,
resumed his work on the hill for the
visitors in this game and was opposed
by Lefty Hilburn, for Brookhayen. Both
pitchers sailed along in fine style for
several innings but in the sixth the
fun started when Gulley poled one of
Freeman's shoots over the centerfield
fence for homo run. In the seventh
the Brookhaven batters were turned
back in good style by the opposing team
but in the eighth another run was
scored when Zachary singled and came
home on series of errors by the Co
lumbia centerielder. Brookhaven kept
up the good work in the ninth, counting
four more on a base on balls, two sim
giles and Gulley's second home run,
which sailed over the rightfeld wall.
Hilburn pitched mastery game and
was well supported. Underwood, at
short being easily the fielding star of
the game, while Gulley, Brookhaven
third-baseman starred with the stick,
hitting two home runs and two-bagger
out of four times at bat.
Batteries: Columbia - Freeman and
Owen; Brookhaven-Hilburn and Cohen.
Umpires Albert Powell and w. f. Turn
bough.
The Brookhayen team will make its
final appearance of the season on La
Dor Day when they hook up with the
fast McComb team in that city and a
good. snappy1 game is sure to be the re-
suit.

TEES AND now.

Grandpa never saw the Follies,
Died before the shimmy shook,
Never got the melancholies
Reading from a cubist book.
Never saw a gown revealing
Most of someone else's wife
Never had that dull, bored feeling
In his long and useful life.
For, though lacking the redundance
OF diversions Of today,
There were bars in great abundance
When dear Grandpa Passed away.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub-
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative. and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are the result of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel. Let DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, "dullness' and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "logy" and
heavy" They clear" clouded brain
and ''perk up the spirits. l0cand 25c.

DEMAND NEGRO
( GET j. P, COURT

The county commissioners, were warned
today by a delegation of negro pol
iticians and lawyers that If William e.
Henderson, negro lawyer, was not ap-
pointed Justice of the peace of Center
township to succeed Charles H. Mueller
the commissioners could expect unpleas-
ant complications.
IF Mr.. Henderson is not appointed JUS
tice of the peace, as agreed between the
county commissioners and Mr.. Henderson
the consequences will be far reaching,
said Attorney Z. B. Chatam to the
commissioners.
Continuing, Cheatam said: Gentle
men, if I inject politics into this
might say that the republican party
has wooed courted and won the col
ored vote of this city and are you GO
ing to misplace that confidence?"
The term of Charles H. Mueller ex-
pired last Saturday.
Henderson claims that the county com
missioners agreed to appoint him to fl
the vacancy, as he received fifth highes
vote In the last election. Frank l.. Glass
received fourth highest.
Glass was appointed by the commits
sioners some time ago 30 succeed
Ernest Maholm, but Maholm refused t.
give up his office to Glass.
Judge Linn Hay of superior court
room 2, held that Maholm was entitled
to hold his office until his successor was
elected.
"Glass is now holding two offices OF
justice of the peace because Glass has
appealed from the ruling of the superior
court and has possession of Miller's rec
ords," said Henderson.
The county commissioners ordered
Miller to turn over his books to the
nearest justice court, which is that Of
Justice Conrad Keller.
Henderson claims that the commission
ers kept their promise to Glass by APP
pointing Glass to succeed Maholm and
that the commissioners now must live up
to their agreement and appoint him ia
the vacancy resulting on last Saturday.
Commissioner Shank and George then
passed the case to County Attorney
Hendrickson, who viii give an opinion
next Thursday.
The commissioners denied that they
had appointed Glass to succeed Mueller.
