LOSE THREE OUT OF FOUR
TO AMERICUS.
After winning Thursday after
noon’s game from Americus by the
Bcore of 8 to 5, Blakely proceeded
to drop three games to that club.
Friday afternoon’s score was 9 to 5
in favor of Americus, while Satur
day’s double-header was lost by the
scores of 12 to 1 and 9to 1. The
team was greatly handicapped during
this series by inferior pitching, which
has been the cause of the poor
showing the club has made to date.
o
BREAK EVEN WITH THE
BAINBRIDGE TEAM.
Monday afternoon in Bainbridge
Blakely dropped a pretty pitcher’s
battle between Morris for Blakely
and Roberts for Bainbridge, the
score being 3 to 2 in favor of the
home club. On Tuesday afternoon
"Goat” Cochran bested A1 Cordell on
the Blakely diamond, 3 to 0, in the
fastest game of the season on the
home ground. Cochran allowed eight
scattered hits, and was tight in the
pinches, the visitors failing of hits
•when they were needed. Blakely
secured 7 off of Cordell, but by
bunching these secured three runs,
and the game.

HOUSE VOTES IN FAVOR
OF ARLINGTON IN FIGHT
FOR COUNTY SITE
ATLANTA, Ga.—The house of rep
resentatives Tuesday voted 176 to 9
to change the county seat of Calhoun
county from the town of Morgan to
Arlington. The bill, which follows a
long fight between the two towns
over the removal proposal, now goes
to the senate. Supporters of Morgan
have stated that the chief fight will
he waged before the upper house,
at which time they claim they will
be able to show that action at this
legislature on the removal is uncon
stitutional, and that the action of
the 1922 assembly in refusing to ap
prove the removal, under the law
of the state, automatically kills re
moval for the next five years.
Representative Fortson, of Calhoun
county, spoke in favor of the re
moval measure before the house
Tuesday, stating that he was elected
on the removal issue and received
practically a two-thirds majority. He
declared that the people of the
county had voted 955 to 455 in favor
of removal.

Who Needs the Automobile Accident Policy?
EVERYBODY
The automobile is the most deadly hazard of modern life. Last
year it killed 14,000 people—a city in itself —and injured a million and
a half more.
One car out of every hundred is literally a death-trap—it will kill
somebody before it reaches the junk pile.
More than twelve million automobiles in the United States and
the number is increasing yearly.
Automobile accidents are increasing faster than the number of
machines.
1,400,000 people in the United States suffered non-fatal injuries
from automobiles last year.
$280,000,000.00 si estimated as the annual economic loss from deaths
and injuries caused by motor accidents.
This danger is increasing every day—and the Automobile Accident
Policy is the best and most specific protection against it and the
cheapest.
