Fairfax, March 4.-Fairfax lost a
hard fought ball game to Ehrhardt to
day by a score of nine to seven,

hardt but couldn't put them low
enough. Purcell relieved him in the
third but he also lacked control for
the third and fourth innings but set
tied down and held the home team
while Ehrhardt hit itself ahead and
won. The only outstanding feature
was the batting of HERS, who kept
up his old time rep, getting three
hits, getting hit once and walked
once out of six'times up. Nix, pinch
hitter for Fairfax, struck out for
Hammond in 8th. The score by in

REVIVAL CLOSES.
DIR. Bridgers Conducted Last Service
on Sunday Evening.

The great revival meeting at Trini-
ty Methodist church was closed with
the service on Sunday evening. DR..
Luther Bridgers, the evangelist, re-
NAMED in town over Monday "see-
ing the sights and taking a much
earned vacation Of a day or two be-
fore leaving. He has accepted an
invitation from the Edgefeld Metho-
dist church to conduct a revival there
in the near future.
Mrs. Bridgers and little son, Luther
Jr., joined the evangelist in Bam-
berg Thursday morning. The pres
ence of Mrs. Bridgers added much to
the services during the last days OF
the revival She is wonderful
singer and pianist and won the love
of scores of people during her few
days stay in town. The little hoy
likewise promises much as a leader,
and On Thursday morning delighted
the congregation by singing a solo.
He is five years of age, but sang as
one experienced in the business.
The service Sunday evening was in
the nature of a farewell sermon, DR..
Bridgers taking the opportunity to
gather up some loose threads and
piecing them together in a general
way. His discourse partook of the
nature of a plea that the Christian
people make a special effort to up
hold and strengthen the young con-
verts and help them in the develop
ment of strong Christian character.
He also took occasion to throw out
some suggestions for church people
in general in the manner they treat
their pastor and their churches He
pleaded for whole-hearted support of
the preachers and the churches.
1t is felt that there was a great
manifestation of the Spirit of God in
the services, and that untold good
was accomplished can scarcely be
doubted. DR.. Bridgers made spe-
cial effort, it seemed, to cement the
bond of Christian fellowship among
all Christians in Bamberg, pleading
for cooperation among all Genomina-
tions that the work of the church
might be advanced and not retarded
by petty denominational differences.
Such preaching can but be beneficial;
in any community, especially in the
small town where everybody knows
everybody else and there is INSULT
cient room for each church to attempt
to carry on its work Independent CT
the cooperation of the Other church.
es, even if there is excuse for this on
the part of the city churches, which
is exceedingly doubtful. It is felt that
there is better feeling Of fellowship
in Bamberg after the visit of this de-
vOut man of God.
AS on the preceding Sundays no
services were held al any o: the other
churches of the city in the evening:
and it is likely tha. the largest con.
gregation that sver attended a
church service in Bamherg was pres
ent for the last service. The church
was comfortably filled about a half
hour before the service began, and by
eight o'clock every available sea-
had been taken in the church and the
annex, with chairs filing the aisles
and then many were unable to secure
seats.
During the meeting many persons
accepted the Christian religion who
have not heretofore done So, ana
large number expressed their inten-
tion to starting over again with re-
newed determination to live the
Christ life.

THE LAST DITCH is LOST.

Apologsts for the Russian soviet government
unfortunately there are one or two of them in AL
buquerque--will find that they have lost their last
stronghold.
Whenever the Bosheviki and their defenders
have been driven to the wall, they have admitted
the faults the soviet system but have argued that
after ALL it tended to better the lot of the working
man, despite any weaknesses the system itself might
have.
What does the intelligent working say about
it?
This question was definitely answered Sunday
night by an appeal of the American Federation Of
Labor to unionists throughout the world to protest
against the slaughter of their fellows in soviet
Russia.
The Russian organized workers are doing what
they can to reach their fellowtolers in other lands
the statement says, but they constantly menaced
by the refusal of the bread card the firing squad and
death by torture in their protest becomes too
loud.
Let the soviet savages know what labor thinks
of their bestial system the appeal declares. Let
every labor organization respond"
Some time ago, one of our readers asked about
IN. Schwartz" the San Francisco socialist who is
reported to have undergone all sorts of cruelties in
Boshevik Russia as well as having lost his wife as
result of her hunger strike in order to escape the
nquities of her soviet tormentors. This reader
gued that the fact that the name was constantly
given as IN. Schwartz" instead of the given name
being published in full indication that no
such individual existed.
"Why M. Schwartz" this reader demanded,
Well, we confidently expect that some defender of
Bolshevism will come forward and assert that
Federation of Labor
Surely such an argument would be more
absurd than most of the others advanced in favor
of the Lenne-Trotzky gang.

A LITTLE CHILD LEADS THEM.

Seven ear-old Simon Kasil gathered his class
mates in a Chattanooga, Tennessee, public school
about him the other day, and told them how he
and his grandparents had been starved and mis-
treated by the Bolshevk and forced to flee
Russia.
Simons plea so touched the other children when
he told them his cousins in Europe We're still sub
sistng principally potato peelngs, except for the
rations they received from the American Relief adj
mnisration, that they contributed all their pennies
and nicels and asked their teacher to forward it to
the European Relief council.

MUSIC FOR EVERYBODY.

Music is not intellectual luxury 1t is a spirit
ual necessity.
Fred K. Ellis, Albuquerque bandmaster, finally
has succeeded in putting band concerts within the
reach of all; namely, by offering them free of
charge.
Beginning Friday evening at $780, free band con-
certs, with community singing as an added feature,
will be given weekly at the armory Mr. Ellis has
raised sufficient number of subscriptions to insure
Albuquerques having its Friday evening concert
every week.
One will not have to be able to distinguish the
music Of Donizetti from Max Rogers or Grieg from
Bizet to enjoy these concerts. Their aim primarily
will be to democratic music--to take it from the
realm of the esotoric and put it within the reach of
the tired business man and the tired business woman.
As we have said before, music does not have to be
est themes often the simplest.
Keep your eye the bandmaster-and your ear
on the big bass drum!
