LESLIE TRYING
FOR COMEBACK
Has Bad Day at Lees
burg in Second Game
of Series

LESLIE, August 11.-After two
straight defeats by the strong semi
pro team from West Point, playing
for Leesburg, the Leslie team, con-
ceded to the strongest amateur or
ganizatiOn in this part of Georgia,
prepared to put up the game of their
lives here this afternoon in an at
tempt to win the third and last game
of the series. RED" Thompson,
star twirler from Cochran, who has
pitched Leslie to victory IN several
hard-fought battles this season, was
to start for Leslie, while Smith, who
held Leslie all but hitless during the
latter half of Mondays game here,
probably will start for the visitors.
Leslie had bad day yesterday at
Leesburg, the team going up in the
air after the defeat of Monday.
Field practice was also denied the
players before the game began. AL
q though Leslie did not play with any
thing like usual form, and the wealth
er was bad, it was really case of
being outplayed by team of older
heads, men of long experience at the
game under all conditions. Parker,
who started Mondays game for the
visitors, was effective, allowing only
one hit, while Clark, Leslie home
product, who. has done very limited
amount of twirling, was touched for
II safe hits. Four errors by Leslie
players added to the woes and re-
suited in a score of Is TO U.
Marshallville will play here Thurs
day and Leslie will play there Fri
day. A schedule with the strong
Camp Gordon team, which is now
playing in this section, is being ar
ranged for next week, the dates to
be announced later.

Guest at Monroe's Cue Says 1t
Was Best Ever--Hopes For More

Monroe Ethridge, well known and
prosperous sn1rer living near Hunt
ington, gave a Zig barbecue a few
days ago, which number of Amer
icus people, as vel as dozens of 9TH
ers from the neighborhood attended.
One of the guests-a bachelor gen.
tleman-was so pleased that he burst
into prose poem over the affair in
the following language:
Yes stree, Bob, l went to a good
old time barbecue at Monroe's, where
all your straight-laced conventions
were thrown aside and everybody
was invited to move right into hap
py-go-easy manner just like you
would at home. "Shuck" your coat,
pull your collar, roll up sleeves, let
out link in your ~belt and should
your toe be in grumbling mood,
urlace and get out.
Barbecues are a fine index to the
prosperity of a community. Take
notice, if you please, and you will
find that they invariably follow fine
crop conditions. Looks like l can't
stay with my dinner but I'll turn to
that in a moment.
Well, boys, you see it was this way
Monroe rode out over the plantation
and reported that things looked good.
Some of the kids had read to him
the way our Pilgrim fathers did i'll
the early days of our history-how
they brought in deer, turkey and so
on and called in all the neighbors to
celebrate wear of plenty.

The cost, he said, was unobtainable.
Following the action of the in
vestigating committee Representa-
tive Williams, of Worth, the author
of the investigation in the house, in
troduced resolution directing. the
commissioner of agriculture to dis
charge DR.. Bahnsen from his office
and to appoint a successor in &C
cordance with the law prescribing the
manner in which vacancy in the
office shall be filled.
The minority report of the investi-
eating committee follows:
''To the general assembly of Geor-
gia, session 1920: we, the under
signed members of the joint commit
tee appointed to investigate the de-
partment of the state veterinarian,
respectfully submit the following MI
nority report:
"The report of the majority OF
the committee AYERS that the state
veterinarian, without authority of
law, paid from state funds express
charges in receiving and distributing
hog serum, virus and syringes, a sum
of 81 ,S4676. We dissent from that
finding. In our opinion the evidence
does not Justify the finding that the
sum stated was paid for express
and demand the conclusion that If
any sum was paid for express it was
in the distribution of serum to the
farmers of the state in exact COM
pliance with the law. The law makes
it the mandatory duty of the state
veterinarian to distribute serum and
virus and appropriates fund for
that purpose and in our opinion the
state veterinarian complied fully
with the laws.
Assembly to Blame.
"We further find that, despite the
earnest ard continual efforts of the
state veterinarian TO induce the gen.
eral assembly to provide fund for
the purchase of serum and virus for
distribution at cost to the farmers OF
the state, it has refused to do so, and
that, therefore, it was absolutely I'M
perative for him to purchase serum
with his own funds and that other
wise it could not have been distrib-
uted to the farmers as provided by
law. We further find that up TO
June, 1917, the state veterinarian
purchasing serum and virus sustain
ed a personal loss of about $4,000
and that therefore he made small
profit aggregating not exceeding
three and a half or four per cent
on total purchases and sales agglre-
eating over 100000 and that this
small profit was applied to REIN,
burse him for his previous loss and
it is highly probable that the balance
will be absorbed in losses on con-
tracts for serum which are now out
standing. We further find that the
conduct of the state veterinarian
in purchasing serum and virus with
his own funds has actually under the
uncontradicted evidence resulted IN
a saving to the farmers OF Georgia
of not less than 100000.
eve further find the the practical
w unanimous testimony demands the
Conclusion that the veterinary de-
partment of state has been IN a
prominent degree efficient, successful
and beneficial to the state and that
the untiring energy, extraordinary
ability and uniform courtesy OF DR..
Bahnsen has been the main factor in
the marvellous developments Of the

WHY SUFFER so?

Why suffer from bad back, from
sharp, shooting twinges. headaches,
dizziness and distressing urinary ills?
Americas people recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills. Could you ask for
stronger proof of merit? Ask your
neighbor.

Americas, says: 81 sucered of and
on for several years with kideny trou-
BILE. had taken different medicines
without results, and finally heard of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Three boxes
of Doan's entirely cured me and l
haven's had the slightest return Of

trouble was dull aching in the small
of my back, so fierce sometimes that

couldn't rest comfortably, however,
because of the pains and / was ner-

eyes and at frequent intervals, every
thing would turn black before me.
l can say ! am very grateful for
what Doan's Kidney Pills have done
for me-"
On April "a, 1918, Mrs. Craps
said: "I have never had to use a
kidney remedy since Doan's Kidney
Pills cured me some time ago. They
surely proved their worth in my case

Monroe saw it the same way, so
an invitation went to his friends to
come in and partake of the fatted
calf. And they came from the coun-
try-side-from Americas, Leslie and
Huntington. The table was set in the
front yard of Monroe's beautiful
home and around it was gathered
the handsomest group of ladies and
gents | have seen in many a day.
You couldn't tell the married from
the single ones. Listen a moment, will
you? BY chance l happened to fall
in with two real good looking girls
whose names l didn't know, so l
proceeded to investigate.
"Say, what might be your name?"
"Mrs"
+Yesm, and yours?"
Mrs"
"Yes'm," and right there all my
little sham airs faded away as l fun
bled at my cue looking for place
to hide. 1t is in my bones to feel
young, gay and frolicsome at picnic
and | wouldn't do otherwise if |
could. Be jolly and happy, because
you can't make but one trip through
this world and none of us know the
complexion of the other.
A vote of thanks was given to Mr..
and Mrs. Ethridge for the delightful
dinner and the days outing. A more
pleasant day l never spent. May the
good Lord put it into the hearts of
others to do likewise and may |, by
some chance, be lucky guy.

there is absolutely no just cause for
