Rumor also said that the Sale City
team were giants in size and
strength, quick as lightning, hard as
nails, the best goal throwers ever,
and that when they played Boston
they were mot nearly up to their
standard. And-many were the bets
spotting Richland forty points and
higher-much higher.
When the Sale City team marched
on the court and the game began,
the hundreds of spectators saw that
for once at least rumor was correct
as to their size, strength, agility and
Workmanship. They were in splen~

games of their long career, but adj
mitted also that it was among the

The Richland team, which before
had been thought an average high
school team in size, weight and
height, were midgets by the side of
the Sale City men.
The Riehland team played superb
game against such odds and were as
elated ovey the final score of 81 to
IL as if they had been the victors.

SWAMP REVEALS CACHE
OF SHOES AND OVERALI.S

VALDOSTA, Jan. pa consid-
cradle quantity of shoes and overalls,
all fresh from a packing case, found
yesterday in a swamp at the end of
West Magnolia street caused officers
to make hurried survey for the
purpose of locating the source of this
supply. The shoes consisted largely of
tennis shoes and rubbers, and it is
believed they were stolen from some
freight car standing in the nearby
railroad yards. No local loss of the
kind has been recently reported and
this leads to the belief that a through
car was looted and the goods stored
in the swamp. A strange white man,
acting suspiciously was taken into
custody in the belief that he might
know something about the matter and
the investigation is being carried on
by the police.

BROWNSVILLE, Jan. 24.-The

ed the City Drug Store in this citv

quarts of red liqur and gin and five
gallons or more of shine. The
search was unexpected and therefore

DEAR THELMA:

DEAR THELMA:
You know how preachers love
chickens refer to those with
feathers on their legs. Well, here s
a new one | got the other day:
One of our Prominent Divines
was out in the country for din
ner. After one of those fried
chicken dinners that arc famous in
these parts, the 2. D. (Promi-
nent Divine) and his host strolled
out on the veranda for a smoke
or a chew mean the host. not
the P. D.
As they discussed crops, taxes
prohibition and other evils, they
were greatly annoyed by wee bit
of chicken yelling its little head
off at the bottom of the steps. II
was just a little biddy, that had
lost its mother.
Wonder what's the matter with
that little fellow" said the P. ID.
He seems to be In great distress. .
Don't know" said the farmer.
and he kept on talking. But the
chick. too, kept his lungs seoing.
Finally the farmer became exas-
perated and yelledNout at the wee
bit of a chick:
HI, don't holler at me. this

Now, Thelma, dear, that's what

HORSEBACK RIDERS
DAMAGE GOLF COURSE

The thoughtless practice of few
young persons riding horseback over
the grounds of the Americas Golf
club and thereby greatly embarrass-

veloping the main golf course has
been called to the attention Of Presi-

refrain from riding horseback or in
vehicles anywhere on club premises
except on the established roadways.
1t Is declared by Manager Byles that
the hoofs of the horses cause depres-
slons in the sandy soil of the course,
which has been thoroughly rolled,
making it necessary to go over the
