SOUTH I^3
The Eve of the 1906
Baseball Season
Now tj>at th<‘ annual meeting of llm'
South Atlantic League Ik over, the
work before the organization Ik pre
imrntory to itn third season. The se
lection of plaverH Ih naturally to he
figured upon firm, though largely the
cluba of the league are already made
up. The filling In thla year will he
more tedious for the inanagera loan It
hau been heretofore from the fact
that the patrona of the six cities have
heroine educated to the worth of the
first claaH article of diamond sport,
and any attempt to reduce the aland
nrd of the game played laat season
will only mean a loan to the league
At the close of the 1B0& Heaaon there!
waa a pretty general cry from the!
ownera of the dtuba that the coat waa
ho great there waa no profit, and, tin
lean the aalary limit waa cut down the
league would go to the had thla year.
Perhaps that a true. In a aenae, hut
after all, the ownera of thoae cluba
which canned the loan. If any there
was at all. are reaponalhlo for It. and.
haying been nerved ttp what proved to
be an article fully worth the money
It Is hardly to be looked upon an the
part or human nature now to take an
article lean good than what han . een
had for the same money. However,
that's one of the problems.
The statement has been made that
several of the old faces will appear
again on the Augusta diamond thla
aeaaon. and. doubtleaa. many of them
will he welcomed, hut al the outaet It
la lo he hoped that Mr, Knnslck will
he able to completely eliminate thoae
discordant factions which, were prea
ent laat seaaon l.lkely he will, and If
so lad It Mr. Hanalek and the old play
ers will he given more than a hearty
welcome by the fana.
Quite naturally the hope rtf An
guata. on the eve of the third aeaaon
of the new league, la that the club
representing thla city will make a
better showing at the closing than
It has yet made The opening of the
last aeaaon waa good enough to please
the most exacting, and, had there been
no dlvtaton among the players and an
absence of discord and back stabbing,
there ta reason to believe that the pelt
nent would now he the possession of
the local club, t'crtainly there waa
nothing tn the league that played bet
ter than Augusta at the start out.
Thla year, however, there are two
factors to he considered In the race,
both of which are decidedly to the
1 advantage of Augusta One la that the
most fotmidahle opponent the other
clubs of the league have ever had is
out « the way through the advance
! incut of Hlllie Smith to the man
-1 agement of the Atlanta club of the
I Southern, and the other, which prob
| ably means Just as much, ta that the
j Augusta club wilt be in the hands of
a man of long and good experience
I Combined those two things are almost
; half of the fight.
Where WHt Mr. Boyer Be?
Just now one of the most interest
Ing 4tl eat tons la where will Mr. Boyer
be thla season? As president of the
league It waa understood, and hoped
j that he would make hta headquarters
in Augusta, and possibly he will un
der certain conditions. Augusta would
like to have both Mr. Boyer and the
league headquarters. Ho would be
well located here.
His ownership of the Savannah
! franchise has been a matter of dis
: cusslon for some finte. but that Mr.
: Boyer u> willing to sell, lu fact, it
waa understood that the deal had been
practically closed between Mr. Boyer
and a local Savannah syndicate where
by they Would tuke over the club, but
information now eotuea that there has
been a split, anil the deal la off. There
are two other propositions, however;
one front the players, who would like
to own the franchise themselves, and
one from Mr. I.ucy, of Jacksonville.
Mr. Boyer holds the franchlae for $2,-
000 and It la underatood both of the 1
offera made hint carry that price. The
disposition of the matter will come,
no doubt. In a very short time, and.
It la believed, Mr. Boyer will be found
lu thla city when the season opens.

war that the bureau of construction
hopes congress will permit them to

According to reports received from
Japan, tills wonderful battleship (hat
Japan is building will displace 18,000
lons and when completed will carry
the unprecedented armament of four
twelve-inch, twelve ten Inch
twelve 4.7-lneh guns The groat
strength, offensive and defensive, of
this mighty ship can >• appreciated
when It Is known that she will dis
place 1.000 tons more and will carry
a batten stronger than either the
South Carolina or the Michigan, even
If congress allows the bureau of con
struction to plan these ships as It
wishes.
Stuck to His Theory.
Arthur K Ros wick, the head of the
circulation department of New York's
free libraries, tells this story to the
New York Tribune about u German
professor of lelia. who belonged to
the tioecklln school:
“The professor got shipwrecked off
a tropical Island As soon a.- the
ship struck the old gentleman leaped
overboard and swam ashore.
"Hut no sooner was he on dry land
he turned anti plunged into the
water again and swam back to the
ship.
"Ho seized his stout wife in his
srms. leaped headlong overboard,
and. despite his burden, again reach
ed shore in safety.
"There the captain, who had al
ready landed, said to him In an amaz
ed tone:
" 'Why didn't you save your wife
the first time?' •
“ ‘Ah.’ said the professor, with a
satisfied smile. I was bound to save
myself first, you know. Self preser
. ration Is nature's highest law.' “

SOME OF THE ABSURDITIES RESULTANT UPON AN IGNORING OF
TUT riTTIMO A KJ rv A ODDODDI ATT
THE FITTING AND APPROPRIATE.
There Is a legend to the effect, that
there once existed in Augusta a firm
bearing the name, "l T . Ketchum &. 1.
Oheatem.” The doubtful honor of
claiming this firm has doubtless been
ascribed to every city In the union,
hut as a matter of fact. Augusta can
claim certain name combinations quite
as remarkable as and certainly less
offensive than this.
Consideration for the owners of
these names compels us to make only
the vaguest reference to the existing
signs that rail for the wonder or
amusement of passers-by on Broad
street. Certainly deserving of the
punishment of publicity, though, were
the parents who were so lacking in
the proper sense of the eternally ap
propriate as to give their boy certain
Initials, which, when combined with
his Inst name, calls attention, in a
nnyt disagreeable way, to a financial
condition by no means desirable.
Merely entertaining is another sign
hearing the somewhat singular com
bination of two colors.
It wbr in another city that the
writer saw a sign above a game shop
hearing the names, "Sites & Ames.”
In still another town, the pastor of a
church was named White, and among
hts deacons were Mr. Black, Mr.

is not unnatural In view of the fact ,
that former hills were framed pri- |

fore the situation resolved itself in
to this, that as the east was in fa

mission.
WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. R —J. B.
Harris, of Munrofla. who saw the
president and Mr. Shonts, chairman of
the Panama says he Is
quite sure that the canal commis
sion Is making a great mistake in em
ploying the sort of labor now on the
pay roll. He said:
"The natives of Mexico and Cen
tral America are law abiding and In
dustrious, healthy, strong physically,
obedient, quiet, easily managed, ef
ficient, and reliable in every way.
They are difficult to approach, dis
trustful of strangers, and It is hard
to gain their confidence, but they are
loyal and faithful in friendship when
they know a man. Aa laborers they
usually build their own homes and fur
nish their own food.
"I built the Jackson and Great
Northern railroad with negroes of that
vicinity. I built portions of the Cen
tral Psciflo, Northern Pacific and
Southern Pacific railroads with Chi
nese labor. I built the Havana and
Matanzas railroad, on the Island of
Cuba, with native Nagroes. 1 superin
tended all the work that was done
by the Maritime Canal Company in
Nicaragua, using Jamaica negroes. I
built the Guatemala Central railroad,
from the coast to the capital, over
the Cordilleras, with the native labor
of Mexico and Central America.
Results of Experience.
“My experience is that the Jamaica
and West India Island negroes are
the most Indifferent, unreliable and
worthless of all men that I have ever
employed, and the natives of Central
America and Mexico the best.”
Mr. Harris then made a proposal
to Chairman Shonts that is regarded
with deep interest. It Is as follows:
"I will furnish you all the common
labor you require in building the Pan
ama canal under the following guar
anteed conditions: Wages not less
than II gold per diem, paid weekly:
houses with water-tight roofs; food,
consisting mostly of corn, beans and
pork, sold at reasonable prices, or
the men to have the right of import
ing the same; ordinary police protec
tion: permission to bring their fam
ilies. They are mostly married men,
with families. For myself, I expect
a reasonable remuneration; also to be
properly accredited, that I may stand
well with the government, that I may
be able to lead men out of their coun

steamers, or are compelled to ship
abroad to be reshipped from England
or Germany, so long will they be at
the mercy of the foreign ship-owners
and. lnferentially, at the mercy of the
foreign merchants. England will
never subsidize steamships or lines to
carry American goods to other than
Engilsh ports, nor will Germany,
while they will and do subsidize ships
to carry English and German goods
to the places where the American
merchants seek a foot-hold. Conse
quently, If we want these markets
and wish to be on an equal footing
with our competitors, we must send
our wares in our own vessels as they
do
These are arguments which appeal
ed to the western and southern mer
chants and which are winning their
representatives in congress, for. while
the proposed measure provides as
sistance for mail steamships—a lfttle
to lines already in existence but the
bulk to establish new lines, that w 9
may have new lines of communica
tion and comparatively fast ships in
time of war—yet the greatest encour
agement is given to the cargo-car
riers and to lines to be established
to countries where we are seeking to
establish our commerce.
In this connection it is pertinent to
say that while the ship-owners, what
few there are. Hnd the ship-builders
favor the bill, for American shipping
is in such a prostrate condition that
they would almost welcame a crust,
of bread—yet the support for the pro
posed measure comes almost solely
from the merchants and manufactur
ers and these, largely of the south
and middle west, are writing their
senators and representatives to as
sist them in capturing markets now
dominated by other nations through
their subsidized ships. It i* scarce
; ly possible that the hill will receive
many southern votes, if any, but
there is no doubt that it quietly fav
ored by many southern members who
would gladly support it, if it were not
against the traditional policy of the
! democratic party.
