RINERHEAD, N. Y, Sept. 27. - Four men in this town have been playing dominoes every day for 2s years and they say it will take at least ten more years to determine which pair of the men excels in the game.
 George w. Cooper. who is 9i years old and never felt more chip per, is the senior of the quartet He always opposes Zophar NJ. Woodruff S4 years old. They select their part ners from two comparative young sters. Howard Sanford 72, and Els worth Benjamin. 69.
 MT Cooper used to be bank pres ident and the greyhaired group gath cred in his office for their game ev- cry afternoon, but business began to interfere with dominoes. so he gave up banking about ten years ago Since then the game has gone on in the office of a mill and Mir. Cooper who also was once a farmer and then country sheriff, takes a little time off now and then to attend the direc- tors meetings at the bank.
 Sometimes when the younger dom ino warriors pause and argue. he says Come on, no stalling in this game. We haven't many more years to play"

BILLY SHADE WILL VISIT NEW YORK
 It Is rumored about that Billy Shades first appearance in the east will be made in Tex Richards ring. We cannot announce this as a fact, but we do know that Shade himself will be here early in October with a chip on his shoulder
 Shade is the fellow that Australia went wild over. He went there just an ordinary welterweight, without one line of advance press stuff.
 Most fighters nowadays want a full page in every paper about themselves before they fight. Not so with Shade.
 He went to Australia and took on the first bloke they gave him. He took what was offered and DID HIS STUFF.
 He took the next man offered and DID HIS STUFF.
 ilt lOth tut htAt anu bit htNl anu then they started to look up tough ones for Shade.
 He cleaned up Australia from the welters to the heavies
 HE DID HIS STUFF and left those shores the most popular battler since the days of Les Darcy
 His Australian record follows:
 K. o. Hubie Hinton. one round.
 K. o. Fred Kay. fifteen rounds.
 K. o. Tommy Uren. nineteen rounds.
 K. O. Francis Charles, ten rounds.
 K. o. Ray Lockwood, nine rounds.
 K. o. Jack Quinlan. four rounds.
 Won, Jimmy Clabby, thirteen rounds.
 K. O. A. Lloyd. fourteen rounds.

WILL
By DIR. William E. Barton

by Dr. william <. Barton
TOO much have we conceded to the
incompetent and the laggard.
There are races that should be re-
served for the swift and battles that
should be won only by the strong.
These are the legitimate rewards
of strength and swiftness.
The world is rather more than
half full of people who are content
with that measure of effort which
will barely enable them to exist. The
rewards are none too abundant for
the man who wins by the power of
will.
The ability to say Il will" is one
of the finest assets of human life.
Without it no man can ever become
really great.
Whatever a man may have or lack,
this is indispensable. He must be able
TO say, 81 will"
Then ne must be able to do what
he has said he would do.
There are three kinds of people in
the world Most people say there are
two, but there are three.
The first is the kind who mean to
do right.
The second is the kind who mean
to do wrong.
The other is the kind who have no
particular purpose of either kind
| You can love the man who is de-
| termined to do right. You can adj
mire the ability and decision Of the
man who deliberately does wrong
But you can have only contempt fol-
the man who has no character OF
either sort.
There is a verse in the Bible about
the man who is neither cold nor hot
Il would We were either cold or hot. ,
| All the heroes of the world, what.
/ ever else they have had or lacked
| have been men of strong will.
A man with weak viii can strength
| en- it. It is not necessary for him Il
| yield to laziness. to temptation, II
| unkindnesS. to bad temper.
1t is mans privilege to assert
his own will, and be strong and clear
and true and successful.

hold back the time when the balance
is restored. Until that time comes
there can be no large prosperity.
Meanwhile it is just as well not to
be scared by figures. 1t sounds
both sad and serious to say that six
million men, or thereabouts, are un-
employed, but this statement is sub
ject to serious deductions. In the
first place, in a country as large as
this. authorities say there are always
million unemployed. These are the
floaters and those who, for many rea-
sons, some good and some not so
good, are temporarily out of work.

THE Savannah Press has this to
say on the subject;
While it is not generally known
that it is against the law to have
transactions of this kind after dark,
the reasons fore such statute are
obvious, If it were legal to sell cot
ton after dark, it would let down the
bars TO n great deal Of rascality ana
thievery. Men who pick cotton would
try to hold out some TO their own ac-
count after the sun went down and
loose cotton left in the field overnight
or in Sin house would be the prey
Of thieves, who would dispose Of il

trip of Governor Hardwick ut Geor-
gia fairs campaigning tour in oppo-
sition to w. j. Harris for the u. S.
Senate next year. And it is our be-
lief that this estimation of the inn
port of the governors trip is about
correct 1t has been our idea for
some time that the governor would
vacate his Office voluntarily next year
and enter the senate race. which has
made it appear to us not improper to
put forward the name Of W. j. We
