TWO MORE WINS
 FOR LOCAL TEAM
MARIANA BEAT MARVEL TO ? AND FRIDAY TRIMMED THE PHILLIPS COUNTY BOYS 8 TO I.
(By Cayce Turner.) ]

The locals annexed two more wins last Thursday and Friday after moons when they entertained the Marvell aggregation on the local lot Thursday and in turn were en- tertained by the latter in Marvell Friday The first game was a beautiful exhibition of the national passtime, part of said beauty being furnished by one Dr. McLendon, who cavorted around the third corn CT in big league style and when it came to lamming the apple around the lot, sweet mama, but he did hand the opposition a bitter pill when he toed the plate in the third frame with two on and two gone. Did he hit in the pinch? We say he did, and bingo !-the old game was on ice, just like that.
 The visitors played a clean field ing game, not single miscue be- ing charged up against them, and it was only their inability to con- meet safely with MT. Elberfield's offerings that kept them from registering a victory as the locals made noble attempt to hand them the game on SllVer pidCter III tHS seventh inning.
 Speaking of Elberfield, he baffled the visitors throughout with an as- sortment of benders that had them guessing completely. It looked for awhile like he was going to land i'll the no-hit column. But two little measley safeties cropped out, one each in the seventh and eigth stan gas. MT. Elberfield certainly did have them feeding out of his clam my paw. Here's how we did it:

The CorerIndex gives full credit to those in authority for their honesty of purpose and for their zeal in their e forts keep Maanna clean and sanitary It is in sympathy with the city officials with the commissioners of the i'm provement districts and with the civic organizations and believes all of them labong for the good But sometimes we strain at gnats and swallow camels.
 For several months have been in hysteria of law enforcement dead statutes that enacted years ago when conditions exceedingly bad in Ma

If individual perpeuated such nuisance and public health his premises the Civic League and the city authorities would yank him before the police judge before the stench travelled block and very properly would his bank roll be generously tapped and he persisted in maintaing the nuisance yeiIance committee would wait upon him and give him hours town The outlet the LAngue bridge has been stopped for year and the fou odoriferous dis easebreedng naseang stuff has been overowng through the manhole and forming small lake that sends stench disgusting and repusve beyond description Dr. E.

If the business men of Marianna are at all alive to their interests thsv will not overlook the highly ;mrortant mn matter of providing some adeouate and reasonably conven- ient means for crossing the St. Fran cis river at Cody. During the past eight or ten months the approaches to the ferry have been in such mis- erable condition that for several months the ferry was unable to op- crate. More recently the ferry has been running, but the approaches are still very bad, the ferry boat it. self is only a makeshift and traffic between Marianna and the pee ole residing on the east side of the St. Francis river has been seriously handicapped.
 One day this week committee composed of George Kausler of Tongin, Chas. Mckee, R. l.. Hope and H. M. Jackson conferred with Judge Hummer with reference to the ferry. A request was made that he visit Cody, personally in spect the ferry and the approaches and suggest to the operators that they make the necessary repairs on the approaches and the boat. This will no doubt result in some im- pavement, but at best the old fer y is very crude method of trans portation. The suggestion has been made that the best solution of the problem lies in the flooring of the railroad bridge at Cody. The long span of the bridge on the west side now unprotected on the sides could be equipped with railings, and with watchmen to handle the traffic there would be no danger of accidents.
 At least this suggestion offers iood for thought and at the meet ng to be held on Tuesday night or next week the matter can be gwen consideration, and if favor sOy acted upon steps can be taken 70 make deal with the railroad company looking toward the floor Ing of the bridge.

Minister Who Tied
 Doug and Mary Wins

Buffalo, N r., June 29.- The slate submitted to the Northern Bap- tist convention by the nominating committee and headed by Ernest I. Tustin of Philadelphia was elected, the tellers reported at today's ses- sion. The Rev. J. W. Brougher of Los Angeles was elected as one of the thirteen members of the exc cutive committee.
 Opposition to MT. Brougher de- veloped because of his attitude on the question of marriage and di- vorce. He performed the ceremony for Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, and on account of this act and subsequent utterances on the subject a certain element among the delegates sought to replace him on the committee slate by nominat- ing the Rev. James A. Francis, al- so of Los Aangeles. The vote was Brougher' 690, Francis 422.
 The convention ended today.

HUDSON A CANDIDATE STILL

l wish to say that 1t has been re- ported that I have withdrawn from the race for county and probate judge. 1 did say that if a good man came out I would do so, but since that time I have decided that am pretty good man myself, with all due respects to my opponents, and will say I am candidate to the end of the primary, and intend to be through the general election if the majority of the people say so.
 Some have said I can't handle the Marianna situation. think the people of Marianna are fair and that I will get a due consideration. The other two men have records. have none because I have had no chance. If I am given a chance l will make Lee county proud of her adopted son who is willing to spill his blood for her cause.

Lbs. Foot Ball Team Had WaIk-AWay
Over UnDeaten Fowler Team
Friday
SCORE q TO ! IN FAVOR LIBERAL
A Good Crowd of Fans Went to See
The Team Win and Witnessed Ut
r. ter Annihilation of the Fowler
Squar. That Team Never Had
Chance to Win.

The Fowler High School football
team went onto the field Friday
afternoon with the intention OF
cleaning up on the team represent
ing Liberal High School, but after
a few moments play changed their
minds and devoted their efforts to
keeping the Liberal score as low as
possible.
Fowler had not been beaten this
season and they were chesty. Having
previously made all sorts Of cham
pionship claims they had complete
confidence in their ability to beat
anything. However Liberal had the
game from start to the finish.
The first score was made on a
forward pass, Bratten to Balm, the
latter carrying the ball over for a
touchdown.
The remaining touchdowns were
made by straight line plunges and
end runs.
One of the spectacular plays made
by Liberal occurred when in the third
quarter Fowler kicked to Liberal who
took the ball straight down the field
on line pulnges and end runs with
out once losing possession of it, and
scored a touchdown.
Liberal out played Fowler at all
times, the only score made by the
latter having been gained when Brat
ten, safety man for Liberal, fumbled
a punt on Fowlers five-yard line and
enabled that team to carry the ball
over for their only touchdown.
Coach Wood says the boys never
played better game. The back
field did the best line plunging seen
this season, while the line defence
was excellent. In fact according to
Mr.. Wood every man played a star
game, and the second string men
who went in at the half covered them
selves with glory.
Dickerson made two touchdowns,
Harnden one and Balm one.
Despite the early hour at which
the train left good crowd Of rooters
accompanied the team and a number
went in cars. All are loud in their
praise of the work of the Liberal
team, and agree that had they ex-
hibited the same game spirit they
could have taken any game they
have played this year
Meade comes next Thursday for
the Thanksgiving day game, but a
post-season game may be arranged
with a good team for the following
day or Saturday Arrangements
are being made for this game.
