HANNA WINS GAME

The baseball game Sunday be-
tween Rawlins, and Hanna was q
slugfest as far ~ Wanna was con-
cerned, the final score being 10 to 1
In favor of the coal mining town.
The big score piled up against Raw
Inns was not due to the inefficiency
OF the Rawlins pitcher, as Waite
pitched a remarksble game but re-
out. ~
II certainly looked like old times
to see Jackson pitching and Briggs
catching for the Hanna team. Many
of those present ut the game were
heard to express the wish that some
of the former Rawlihs players such
as Mayor, Walt Smythe, Pat Murphy,
Corcoran. and Q few others would ap-
pear again in Rawlfns uniforms, in
stead Of playing with surrounding
towns or else not playing with sur-
towns or else not playing
at all.
The lineup sor the game was as
follows:
Rawlins-Paulsen, CT; Ivy, IF;
Waite, p; Buskirk, 2b; Gus Fleischli,
II; Murphy. C; SHILLING, 3b; Gardner,
1b: and Lytle, %.
Hanna-GaskeIl, IS; Rogers. 3b:

Ellison.White Association. The
dates for Rawlins have been defn-
itely set for August 18th to 18th.
The feature musical event Of the
week will be the two concerts to be
presented on the last day Of the
assembly by Witepskie's Concert
Orchestra. This Chicago organiza-
ton under the leadership of Meyer
Wdtepskie, pianist and director, Is
one Of the best known orchestras on
the Chautauqua platform and one
that is always In wide demand. Olive
Mccormick, noted col0ratura So
prauo, formerly with the Pittsburgh

CAMP GROUNDS
Work Of Con.
structing Camp Ground
IN this City Started
On Monday LAST
Work WIN be
Rushed

Bids were opened last Saturday by
the Board of Directors Of the Board
Of Trade for the erection of q double
bath house on the camping ground
In the west end of town . Contract
for the building was awarded to H.
Larsen and the plumbing to the Ben
nett Hardware Company.
This building will be ~ feet by "a
feet, divided into two compartments.
Each compartment will be equipped
with l~avat0ries, wash trays and
shower baths.
The Board OF Trade Is being assist
ed inethis worthy enterprise by the
American Legion and 1t is hoped
thet before the season is over an
other building of the bungalow type,
thirty feet square, with a large porch
extending across the entire front may
be erected. This building will be
divided through the center making
two rooms Is feet by 80 feet. One
room may be used for cooking and
dining purposes and the other for
reading and recreation. While 1t
will mot be possible to paint and
complete these buildings just at this
time, there is no question but these
accommodations will put Rawlins on
II hA0V SAC Jul POihS VI
view.
Up to this time tourists passing
through our city have been compelled
to impose upon the residents living
near 10th and Buffalo and Pine
streets for water and fuel. The
traffic has become SO heavy that re-
lief was of vital Importance. The
Board of Trade is to be congratulated
upon having secured this camp
ground site for the city from the
Union Pacific and upon pushing
through these important improve
ments.
1t Is estimated that more than Ave
hundred tourists pass through Dur
city daily. The revenue from this
source is a matter that Rawlins can
not afford to overlook. The expense
OF carrying out the building program
which has been outlined must be
raised largely By popular subscrip-
tion. It ID to be hoped that every
progressive citizen will get behind
our commercial organisation and
assist in this important work with
out waiting to be called upon by the
committee.

The General Petroleum Corpora

week struck an exceptionally good
showing of oil at a depth OF $500

The bringing in of this we'll on The

Lionism in the State Of Wyoming
is in its infancy and Cheyenne Club
Of Lions ia the Oldest In the state
having been organized during the
month of June, 1920. This was the
first state convention OF Lions in
Wyoming and IL the pep" increases
as the cubs grow to be Lions. there
Is going to be something doing in
the years to come. Those from Raw
Inns who attended the convention.
went with the idea in mind Of learn
ing how Lions In other dens do and
from what they learned they expect
that the Rawlins den is going to have
some interesting meetings and Raw
Inns will hear the Lions roar
The first event at the convention
was registration OF Lions at the
Plains Hotel at 1900 a. IN. and from
then on things kept moving lively
until-the Rawlins delegates don't
know for they had to leave at mid
night Friday . Luncheon was at
1900 noon at the Plains Hotel which
lasted until 200 p. m. From the
Plains Hotel the Lions proceeded to
the Stock Growers National Bank
where a group picture was taken and
then proceeded to the Parish House
Of St. Marks Church where the bust
ness session was held. State Land
Commissioner A. Baker was re-
elected district governor and Tor
rington was selected az the next con-
vention city.
The Cheyenne den Of Lions also
boast Of a Lioness Club which indeed
is a great help towards furthering
the principles of Lionism in Chey-
enne. While the Lions held their
business session. the members OF the
Lioness Club entertained the visit
ing ladies at the Cheyenne Country
Club.
After the business session the
Lions and their ladies went for an
auto tour OF the city and Fort Rus
sell which included a review OF a
splendid series af maneuvers by the
Fifteenth Cavalry at the post. At
TOO p. M. a banquet was held at
! the parish house served by the ladies
OF st. Marks guild. Several ad-
| dresses of interest were delivered at
this banquet. Musical selections
we're rendered by the Cheyenne
Lions quartet and Mrs. Charles A
Bennett and r.. H. Zeigler. Eacf
club was also required to pull
stunt Of some sort. Following tn
, banquet was a dance which was
! much enjoyed by all present and tn
Rawlins delegates regretted yer!
, much having made plans and reser
vations to leave at midnight which
interfered with their staying unit
the end.
The sessions were attended b,
nearly one hundred Lions and theil
i ladies' from Laramie. TOrrington
Scottsbluff. Rock Springs and Raw
Inns. The Lions OF Colorado were
represented by Harry f. Niven o.

ulation between the white and black
races. in which the relations between
the two races are more harmonious
than right here in the State of Geor-
gia. There Is no State or country in
the world in which a good law abiding
peaceful Negro can live with more
security to his life. his property and
gia.
Georgia of course is not free from
crime; throughout the world there Is
that seething unrest that always fol-
lows in the wake of a great war,
but I believe and venture to assert
general throughout the world is less
in this State than II is in practically
all of the others. We of course have
criminals, both white and black, but
the percentage of crime directed by
members Of the white race against
Negroes is exceedingly small.
The Indictment brought against the
State Is untrue, and 1t is a matter of
deep regret to me that such a mon
strous charge should have been cir
Culdted just at this juncture, so cal
cuIated to impair the friendly rela-
tions between the races in our State,
and So calculated to prejudice the
good name of the State of Georgia
i'm other sections of the country.
Georgia has substantially 5000 900
people, and the usual and unacceptable
present among them, but the indict-
mcnt of the whole State and all Of
it's people for mistTeating the black
race is an unspeakable slander upon
our State and her people, and to the
indictment so preferred in the name
and in behalf Of the State of Georgia
