 dering assistance to the school au- thorities.

CRITICISM

1t has been said that there is no
truer test of a mans qualities for per
manent success than the way he takes
adverse criticism. The little mlndea
man can't stand it. 1t pricks his egot-
ism. He makes excuses. Then, when
he finds that excuses won't take the
place of results he sulks. The big
minded man on the other hand is
thankful for the criticism because ne
understand that it is meant Tor ms
good He has sense enough not to let
his vanity interfere with anything that
will help him in the important matter
of self-imprisonment. -.

you are not as good as you thought

PIANO RECITAL

On Friday evening, June 29th, the
pupils of Mrs. Emma p. Brady gave a
very interesting and enjoyable recital
in the Presbyterian Church, at Car
neys Point, at 8.15 p. NJ. Miss Ida
Brady opened the occasion by play
ing a very pretty march at which
the pupils led by their teacher,
marched up the two side aisles OF the
Church and took their seats on the
platform in the midst Of a very elab-
crate decoration of palms, ferns, cut
flowers and green plants, furnished
bv MI. McNorton, of Woodstown. This
bank of flowers and green as a back
ground and the children seated IN the
front made a very beautiful and I'M
pressive picture.
There were several selections, six
duets and one trio played, ranging
from little tots to advanced schoIars
and were rendered by the following
pupils Loneita Hutchinson, KoperI

and take part were: Blanche STACK

Hill, Henry Harris, Hazel Coleman
and Mrs. McGraf.
Particular notice was taken OF tne
small children who played so we'll
Elizabeth Loven caused much com
ment when she played with such care,
crossing hands and showing u abll-
itv when she could scarcely reach the
pedal. George Gren was at his pest,
to. His performance was so eNaci
and precise. Atwell Chance rendered
a difficult selection in an equally
pleasing an and did credit TO
himself. -.
Much praise was due little Leonita
Hutchinson for the manner and way
she executed her selection and was
enioved by all. Inez and Margarine
Kille did excellent work at the piano
and their manner and effort deserves
much commentator.
The duet by Master Robert Hurley
and teacher was enjoyed by all and
showed much effort on his part. Miss
Martha Messick played a very dltfl-
cult piece and did it well with com
poslre and exactness. Miss Dorothy
Mckee also executed a very pretty
piece which was thoroughly enjoyed by
everyone. Miss Myrtle Link played
"Chapel Chimes and held the audi

Miss Anna Roberts played "Wood-

.CUYLER'S BASE THEFT MARK
 CANNOT BE EQUALLED BY Al
 SOUTHERN LEAGUE PLAYER
Huhn's Lead With The Stick Is Still Precarious, As Cuy-
 Ter Is Only 4 Points Behind

With the Southern association race practically over there are several in dividual performers whose work stands out by itself. Probably the most impressive feat goes to Cuyler of Nashville, who has amassed 6S stolen bases. There is practically no chance of Neun of Birmingham even threatening Cuyler's lead. although the former flyer will leave a record, second to Cuyler's, but one of the best in the country.
 Clark of Atlanta will undoubtedly finish the season with the home run record of the league. His remark able clouting during the past week brought his total up to 20 with Her man Of Memphis and J. Anderson of Chattanooga far back.
 Mobile, without doubt will take the houors in double plays.
 In hitting it is different A spurt on the part of the first five or six would change the complexion. Huhn is still the leader but the Mobile place. Cuyler of Nashville being only 4 points behind. Bernsen, Hawks, Herman and R. Williams are crowd ing the others.
 Nashville will lead the hitters as a team but in total runs it has no such cinch as Mobile in only tallles removed. New Orleans, at the top in fielding, will probably remain there.
 Long of Mobile threatens to be- come the leading pitcher in the league. He is that both actually and theoretically now, but Moore of Bir- mingham, in second place, has chance to get better percentage. The New Orleans bunch of twlrlers will finish far up. McGrew of Mem- Dhis has been coming up.

Meeting ofS.L.C. Held In Atlanta
 Rules On Players

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 22.-South- ern college athletes, whose schools are affiliated with the Southern h. tercollegiate Conference, that played baseball in the South Georgia, or any other unorganized league this season, were ruled ineligible to again take part in varsity athletics to- day at meeting of the executive committee here.
 The complete list of players af- fected by this ruling has not yet been made out. pr. s. V. Ssndford. tonight, this detail being set aside for consideration later. but promin- ent among the grid stars who will be missing is 'Tot" Mccullough, Van derbilt. celebrity. who played with the Albany, Georgia. club.
 Dr. Sandford declared the playing of Joe Jackson, blacklisted former major league player, with the Amer lcus, Ga, club was not taken in con- sideration. Several college players were said to have played on the Americus team.
 That many other football players who are being counted upon to be big factors in the grid season of their colleges will fall by the wayside was conceded by the president, as most of the teams in the south Georgia cir cult were made up of college men, who also won names for themselves in the fall pastime.
 The conference will hold it's own basketball tournament next year, probably under the auspices of the Atlanta Athletic club, was also de- cided at today's session. The tourna- ment will be held In February, but no starting date was announced, pr. Sandford asserting this would be de- cided at the December meeting of the conference delegates.
 Heretofore the conference had held it's tournament in conjunction with the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association.
 The December meeting is scheduled to be held in Washington. The ex- ecutive committee expressed the opin- ion that considerable benefit will be derived from holding this convention in the northern section of the terri : tory embraced in the conference zone and accepted the invitation issued by the officials in Washington.
 Beside the president those attend ing today's meeting were pr. J. E. Crenshaw. Georgia Tech: Drs N. w. Daugherty, University of Tennessee; Prof. c. L. Hare. Auburn; and ID.
