THALEAN TRUSTEES
ELECT 8 TEACHERS
Misses Chappell, Harold and
Gocdson Assistants-Princi-
pal to Be Chosen

A few days ago the trustees of
Ihalean Academy elected three of
the teachers, namely, Miss Ruth
Chappell, Miss Mary Harold. Of
Butler, Ga, and Miss Louise Good
son, Of Dawson, Ga, as assistants,
but have not yet elected their prin-
cipal and will probably not elect
one for some time as they are very
anxious to secure one who in every
way meets all requirements. All Of
our schools in Sumter have elected
their full quota of teachers and will
open up on the first Monday in
September. Thalean trustees think
they can find a suitable principal
by the time the schools commence.
The Andersonville Consolidated
School district is pushing with all
speed their fine new school building
and this school district promises to
be one of the greatest schools in
the county. The principal of this
school, j. NJ. Lanier, is very proud
of the fact that in the late county
contests which the rural schools hold
every year. that his pupils records
were such as to reflect great credit
on the school. There are a number
OF people who are guessing that
this school will win the live hundred

HAS CHANCE

MONTGOMERY, Aug. ALA
bama has a chance to step from
the bottom of the list of states in
prison reform to the top, is the
opinion of Dr. r. Stagg Within,
president of the national commit
tee on prisons and prison labor.
''Your Kilby prison is moderness

New York that can equal it. Ny
but the changes that have taken
place in Alabama since my first
visit here under the O'Neal ad-
ministration.
1.-The next step will be in the
abolition of the convict lease sys-
tenn. That must be only a matter
of time. And let me say, that in
desiring nationwide publicity in
selling Alabama's great natural re
sources, there is nothing that will
be the advertisement of a model
convict system.
Products of Kilby prison are
being sold too low, however. They
are barely paying for the opera
ton of the plant. Your convict
labor is being given away" Dir.
Within declared.
"The system of work from sun
rise to sunset under the lease sys-
tenn must go. 1t has gone every
where except in Alabama already"

Hamilton was accorded wonderful

THE PLAY

Here are two plays in which the
act of the batsman was Identical,
yet there is a difference in the re-
suit produced.
In the first case the bats.nan
hit the ball to the shortstop, who
made d perfect throw to first.
which would have retire the bats
man had not the first haseman
muffed the ball.
= There was no other runner on
at the time. The ball rollei
short distance from the base. The
batsman gave it lick, sending 1t
into right tjeld, and then raced tc
tl'rd fase,
In the other case there was a
runner on third and no one out,
when The batsman hit the ball to
the shoTtstop. The throw had the
batter heaten, but the first base
neH muffed the ball. 1t rolled a
short distance away and the man
on third decided to try for the
plate.
The batsman kicked the ball in
to right field as in the other case,
the runner on third easily scoring
and the batsman reached third.
What about the two plays?
THE INTERPRETATION.
In the second play, where the
runner on first kicked the ball into
right field, while the runner on
third was attempting to score, the
runner who kicked the ball should
have been declared out for inter
ference, while the runner original
ly on third should have been sent
back to that base.
In kicking the ball the runner
prevented the possibility of the
first baseman getting the man at
the plate.
In the other case, a bit of COM
mon sense should be mixed in with
the rules. In this case, there was
no play being made, and the run
ner who had crossed first, and had
made no attempt to go to second,
simply kicked the ball away.
I would have called time and
sent the runner who had advanced
to third back to first and inflict-
! ed no other penalty.

The cause OF this wholesale pass

ing has been suggested. At any
