Although Adams in his big league
career, which started in 1907 and has
mad continuous run ever since, bar
ring two summers, has pitched many
sensational games, he does not talk
about his own deeds today. He has
forgotten about the 1909 world series
between the Pirates and the Detroit
Tigers, when as a pink checked kid
he tackled the American League fence
busters and turned them back with
three defeats. His own fame is never
discussed.
He was asked to analyze his pitch-
ing secrets. Cant see that I've been
SO brilliant that anybody would want

Babe"
Has One Big Ambition.
Instead of commenting upon any of
his personal glory, he pointed to one
Fubject and commented upon it freely.
st was his desire to be pitching as a
big Lacquer for four moro years and
into the discard.
Young started with the old Cleve-
land Spiders in 1890 and departed in
1911, giving him a period OF twenty
Two years as a major Lacquer. He
was forty-four years of age when the
right arm was voted has-been.
Adams started with the Pittsburgh

pitching marathon, as the stretch is
interrupted in 1917 and 1918, when
ne dropped off into the minors. Ad-
ans is forty-one and by pitching for
the Pirates or any other big league
club four years from now he will be
the only big Lacquer in existence at
the age of forty-five.

was great fellow. remember
reading about him when / was a wee
tot, and that time never realizing
that l would be where L am today.
Young Was His Idol.
"A funny thing-as 1 grew up I
became a great admirer of Cy. 1 saw
him pitch many games for the old
Cleveland Club, and / simply picked
him out as my idol. l never allowed
MS success to get away from me.
When 1 entered base ball L decided to
use him for my pattern.
He had a nice, free motion, ap-
parently without a wide assortment
OF stuff-just what We call straight
pitching for the curve, fast ball and
SLOW ball. and as he travelled for
years | decided that pitcher did not
have to experiment with a different
shoot for each delivery.
Young didn't and 7 haven't. I
believe the trouble with many young
pitchers who fail to develop is that
they try to create something which
is impossible. They aren't satisfied
with straight pitching. but go out for
some mysterious stuff, with the re-
suit that the arm is injured or con-
troll isn't developed.
My only advice is mixing your
assortment and keeping the ball
away from the batter. Each batter
has a particular style of ball he
likes. That is just what he shouldn't
get.
My pitching is at the extreme
Hnes-either on the outside corner,
on the inside corner, around the
knees or close to the shoulder.
Pitcher Has the Edge.
Don't make your strikes too good
i have found that the batter is more
nervous and excited than the pitcher.
Give him high one, low one, on the
inside. on the outside, a curve. a fast
one. slow one IF he is up there try

NO NECESSITY FOR
FREE TEXT BOOKS.

WILLIAMSON, Ga. Nov, 6. II
(By the Associated Press. )--Sena-
tor JsSC. Beauchamp, of the TWEEN
ty-second district, last night stated
that a necessity for free school
book legislation does not exist in
Georgia at the present time.
The senator outlined his view on
matters to be considered by the
extraordinary session of the Geor-
gia general assembly, which con
venes in Atlanta Wednesday morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
Il see no way to furnish free
books to school children without in
creasing taxes or taking the
amount from the common school
fund" he asserted, "and if the lat
ter course were taken it would
mean that the teachers would pay
for the books. The people are OPP
posed to either method.
Il doubt the wisdom of changing
the ad valorem system of the state,
at least to the system of discard
ing it.
IAN income tax, properly graded
with suitable exemptions, might be
added to our present plan with good
results.
"The tax rate should be limited
in counties and municipalities.
Collection of special taxes, such
as Inheritance, occupation, and the
tobacco tax, should have rules and
regulations to strictly enforce just
and equitable collection" he said.

hundred and seven paragraphs, or
about that many different taxes,
is complied with by not more than
fifty per cent of the people, be-
lieve. Certainly, it is not right for
some to pay taxes and others to
escape.
81 have always voted to retain
the tax equalization law. Although
it is defective, l do not believe we
can get along without it now.
Il introduced bill in the last
regular sessio nto make each tax
collector in Georgia an ex-officio
sheriff for the collection of taxes
only, because | felt that the com
troller general could not compel the
sheriff to perform the act of max
ing a levy on property for the col
lecticM of taxes. But if the tax
collector had that right, the comp
troller could and would demand all
taxes be paid by a certain day. 1t
is not right for some to obey the
law Of paying taxes by a certain
day while others are excused,
i I'm oppose dto the free school
book proposition because l feel that
the state is doing for common
schools all that should be asked at
this time"

coed three cents on the dollar, but
no credit against it for ad valorem
tax. A corporation franchise tax
and license taxes. Inheritance tax
es, privilege taxes and occupation
taxes, the same to be graduated
and contain provisions for eXemp-
tions. Special taxes upon luXuries
and the unnecessary things of life,
such things as are used for pleasure
only. To give the legislature pow
err to exempt all property of all
kind from ad valorem taxes for
state purposes in any year when
the same is not needed to meet the
appropriations made that year to
pay the interest and provide the
sinking fund for the bonded debts
of the state. To exempt all new
industries coming into the state
during the next ten years from
all taxes of all kind. To limit the
county tax rate to ten mills for all
purposes in any one year, except
to pay principal and interest of the
bonded debt already existing or that
may hereafter be created. To clas-
sify property for ad valorem taxes
so that a different rate may be
placed on different classes of prop
erty for dierent purposes, provid-
ed no rate on any class shall be
more than i've mills for state pur-
poses.
ut will be seen that the first
seven bills make up the complete
North '-rolina plan of taxation
for staG6, and county. North Car
DINA has the best tax laws today
of any state in the world. They
have brought peace and plenty to
everybody in that state. \ The first
six of these bills will be constitu-
tional amendments and cannot go
into effect until the end of next
year.
Limiting the county rate IS
statutory and can go into effect
at the end of this year. The eighth
bill is the Kentucky plan of CLASH
fication and is constitutional
amendment and cannot go into eff
feet until the end of next year. If
anyone can show me anything bet
ter than these measures, I win sup
port it.

SAVANNAH, Nov. 6.-(By AS
sociGted Press -With the extra
ordinary session of the Georgia
general assembly scheduled to con-
vene next Wednesday, Representa-

today stated he was opposed to the
repeal of the tax equalization law
and to the enactment of any of the
tax income measures presented to-
date.
The representative said, however,
that he was hopeful that the spe-
cial tax commission, appointed by
Governor Walker, will have "logi-
cal and equitable tax measure" to
present to the special session.
Governor Walker issued his call
for the extra session for the consid-
Grafton of the states tax problem,
tax collection machinery and the
free text question.
II am in favor Of the state max
ing proper provisions to collect
taxes under any system adopted on

II, am opposed to the proposed

the state at this time. Other things
are needed more than this. in our

for the common schools can be used
in a better way. think they need

CAPITOL THEATRE

The story of the adventures OF
that famous fiction character "Montc
Cristo" is now the most popular
book at the local Public Library.
This is attributed to the announce
ment that film of that name will
be shown in the "Capitol Theatre
next Monday.
Under ordinary circumstances this
novel is popular and it is seldom
left on the shelf more than one day.
As long as romance lives there will
be a demand for this marvellous tale
written in the nineteenth century by
Alexandra Dumas, the elder, famous
French playwright and author. 1t is
story enjoyed by boys and girls
by middle-aged persons, and by cid
ers. 1t is one of the few novels that
almost any consistent reader can say
he has read two or three times.
The screen version of "Monte
Cristo" was made by William Fox
and was directed by Emmett J. Flynn.
the director who made the reputation
for himself in his picture "A Con-
necticut Yankee" "Monte Cristo"
promises to be one of the film won
ders of the year.
