LOCALS FEED EGGS
To TATE ON HOT DAY
BEFORE BIG CROWD
Hamilton Too Much For Taters.
Goat" Cochran Not So Strong
AS Expected Such Weather

The sun was sizzling hot, and the
bleachers bleached, and not breeze
to cool the crowd except those in
Cured by Tate batters tanning was
the weather situation at Browns ball
park Wednesday afternoon when the
largest attendance of the season wit
messed the sound drubbing given the
visiting Taters by the local color
bearers. Hamilton pitched game
for Marietta that was simply out of
the question for. opposing contenders
to use for scoring purposes. The
only question about the game was
how many scores would Marietta be
able to add on the debit side Of
Goat" Cochran's ledger. The final
inventory showed the "Goat" should
account for five complete trips with
nothing to offset the item.
Hamilton, star pitcher for the Mer-
Ger nine last season, came across with
some of the most invincible pitching
Cy Hawkins proteges had ever seen.
They just couldn't get onto his slants
and curves. For nine innings these
husky marbIe-cutters chopped and
swung at everything Hamilton
pitched, and when the dust of the bat
tie had drifted away they had gath
cred in only four hits; one of these
coming in the ninth, and nary run.
Captain Pug's men had better luck
with the deliveries OF Goat Cochran,
the Atlanta fireman, who was on
mound duty for Tate. AS early as
the third inning Partridge connected
with a safety which proved conclu-
sively that hits could be made At
ter this inning Bryant's men held a
hasty parley and it was decided that
in the next inning heavy barrage
should be laid over Cochran. Big
Boy Parrish was the first to connect
with the ball for a swat that meant
a hit. Wall had even better luck. The
first ball pitched was not exactly to
suit him but just for the fun of the
thing he knocked a twoN bager, the
longest hit of the game. This had
more to do with the runs that fol-
lowed than one might think. For it
gave new life to the players and it
made the rooters forget how uncom-
Portable they really were.
For two innings it had been three
up and three down, neither side appa-
rently with any advantage. In the

Florence's June
Bride Window
Attracts Attention

The pretty and artistic decoration
of the display windows of Florence's
store are attracting much attention,
admiration and comment.
In enc window is a beautiful we'd
ding scene with setting of palms
and ferns fanked by aisles formed of
tall pedestal baskets joined with
white satin ribbons and filled with
Easter lilies. The center of interest
is the bride herself in full bridal ar
ray, a lovely gown of lustrous white
satin with trimmings of pearls and
valley lilies, completed by a tulle veil
held in place by coronet of orange
blossoms. The exquisite bouquet of
orchids showered with valley lilies
adds to the true-to-life aspect of the
whole scene.
In the opposite window is trous-
seau display complete in every detail
from filmy lingerie to stunning hats
and gowns.
These windows were decorated by
Mrs. Grady Conway, whose artistic
taste and capability cause the win
dows of Florence's store to be always
source of interest.
The June bride suggestion is car
ried out in compliment to the June
brides in Marietta.

NEGRO DIES FROM
ICE PICK WOUND
DEALT BY SISTER
Ralph Grogan Stabbed BY Sister
With an Ice Pick, and By
Woman With Knife

Last week the local police took into
custody Pauline Grogan, negress 16
and Clara Garrett, negress 20, for
the murder of Ralph Grogan, negro
IT. He died as the result Of an ice
pick wound in his neck, dealt by
Pauline Grogan, and a knife wound
in his shoulder, dealt by Clara Gar
rett.
According to witnesses Ralph and
Pauline, his sister, children of Viii
Grogan, a farmer on the Powder
Powder Springs road, were quarrelinp
over dime when she stabbed him
through the back of his neck with an
ice-pick which was close at hand. The
next day Ralph, seemingly recover
ing, had a squabble with Clara and
she thrust knife blade 'into his
shoulder. Blood poison developed
ard two weeks later Ralph died. Au.
thorities believe the ice-pick delivered
the fatal wound, but both women
were placed in the county Jail. Clara
was released or bond but Pauline is
being held until further investigation.
Neither women tried to make their
ESCAPE as the wounds were not
thought serious at the time. An in
dietment on a murder charge will be
sought.

 sresSiYeS and Conservatives

Amherst, Mass, NoY. l4,-Conser- vatlve and progressive forces can work in harmony and must work to- gether in promoting sane and vital progress in thioNnG Dr. George Daniel OIls sa.l today in his ad- dress acco1lIug the presidency Of Amherst college In developing his theme-"Tuc Making of the Col lege"-pr Olds pictured the ideal board oi trustees and the ideal fac ulty, and aided:
 "Such board Of trustees will be tolerant, vl realize that times change and we change with them, that tleogias Of education pass and new ones take their places not be- cause inc old were not efficient in their day, but beca Use new condl- tions of thought and lifo need new remedies. \ X \.
 "PUt our college governors can be tolerant and sympathetic with the new, not because they have forgot ten the things behind, but because they realize that the productive vcn- lures in this world are based upon something solid, something perma- nent. The most daring campaigns must rest upon bases X If the world is to be saved by moral forces, and of these education IS Inc main spring, it must be by a chain of hands, each unit reaching out with one hand but holding its other in the firm grasps of the unit that has zone before; and the hand of the first unit must grasp a rock. The ideal attitude toward the education process seems 10 suggest the analogy Of the airplane. Without motion 1t must fall; without resistance 1t can not fly"
 "Ths teacher must inhale free dom and exhale freedom" pr. Olds said in discussing the ideal faculty. He must be conscious that he is leading his pupil in the world of glorious adventure, yet he must never fall to remind him that there are moorings and bubys and that oy these he must steer his course" "
 The new president stressed the i'm portance of character, declaring that the supreme goods are mind and character.
 "Whatever may be the views of modern psychology" he said, "the practical man of the world will al- ways justly believe that intellect and character are things distinct and that it is only in the combination ot the two that man can be properly equipped for the vocation of life"
