Did Posey quit In disgust when Boyd
came In?
Who can forecast the ways of the
fickle jade?
Dudley must have felt at home. He
was “loaned.^
Eldred was two-bagging with the
stick right merrily. • r '
Shall that nightmare of being last
become a stern reality?
Every day that pennant looks farth
er off; and It sure enough Is.
It was Ramsay, Holt’s latest pick
up, who took In the Machinists.
It was ragged enough. In the flrBt
Posey was found for -six runs. Not!
only Posey, but the rest of them, were
brought out of concealment. Yet the
magnitude of this was to be surpassed I
on the other side of the seesaw. (One
other run was cellarited in the second,]
but In this game runs one at a time|
were not considered.) In the fourth
Inning by conscientious hitting on the
part of Albany and more conscientious
erroring on the part of the others,
only eight were made. (Note—At this
Juncture there was a mad rush down
the stairs where the detail was com
ing In on the part of some of the lis
teners. Conjecture the rest, but don’t
Impugn the motives of those who fell
over themselves getting to the side
walk. Of course they; only wanted
fresh air.) But even with these eight,
struck In glaring white against the
seven that the Amerl(fuses hadn’t
earned, werq to be as nothing. They
were able to read their name In figures
large twice more, while once more
only did the Climbers score.
It wasn’t a credit to win, even, in a
contest like that. Those six in one so
disgusted Snod that Posey was al
lowed to sit down. It did seem that
he had earned a rest. And Boyd fin
ished up the marvelous exhibition.
The players had to change about all
over the field. Dudley caught, which
brings us to the tale of Mr. DeCosta.
Since he has been here there have
been vague rumors that he was “out
of condition.” They were accepted.
Day after day he was "not in condi
tion.” Then somebody began to get
wise. And he was "unconditioned"
for two successive days on the road.
Then the truth leaked out, and instead
of getting It out of a bottle this time
he got It out of a can. He Is no more
a member of the galaxy of stars that
compose our team. Fired, when all
hope of “conditioning’’ him was-given
up; and really, It was a misfortune,
for he was a good first baseman. But
these are stern times. No more shall
dissipation wax unchecked, the honor
of the Georgia State shall not be Im
periled. They may even get the boys
to going to prayer-meeting on Wed
nesday nights, but this is perhaps too
sanguine a hope.
There was some hitting In It. In the
' ninth there were faint signs of rally
ing. Nunley hit and stole, and then
got put out. Eldred got a two-base
hit, but Snod hit to short and It was
over.
There are six more this week, away
from the wrath of the home fans. If
the men were to do the Impossible
now and take four of these, It would
put them on the majority slAe. If his
tory Is to repeat Itself, we may adorn
the bottom column. But Mac and
Klrkham will soon be In and things be
better. There are still two months of
the season left, anyway, to do things
in, and much can happen In that time.
They speak with bated breath in
Amerleus now. It was so unexpected.
They said that DeCosta wasn’t “In
condition.” Wonder what that means?
And after that six In one inning lead
had been overcome hy an eight in one.
Talking about a winning streak is
as uncertain a thing as really starting
one.
Siner broke into the error column
with frequency, to express It as mildly
as possible.
Saturday’s game was not' at all con
ducive toward the improvement of the
fielding averages
Columbus got to the top by a simul
taneous combination of victories and
Waycross’ defeats.
The ginger seems to have been lost
somewhere. It oughtn’t to be so hard
to cultivate a new stock.
It begins to look as if we were the
percentage fatteners. Certain is It
that Amerleus has waxed fat on us.

How did it happen that Wfe took a

But that is a memory of the dead past.
Remember, though, that McCormack

will probably be able to be in Wed
nesday’s game.
But we are not the only ftnes that
the Cellarites will fix. When the next

will have the heartache,
They say that the Vagrants are ac
tually glpatlng over the prospect of

is defeat engendered.

AN OBJECT LESSON.
Why has the Amerleus team come
to life? Why did they take this series
from Albany? Why are they rapidly
going to the top? Why has the tone
of every paper in Georgia that has had
anything to say on the subject, radi
cally changed its tone very recently?
An answer to all this: They have
achieved success almost at once; they
have done the all but impossible.
How? Directly and indirectly, by a
stock company. That’s the secret of
it all. The management there is now
local, Instead of being vested in one
person. It is divided among resident
stockholders, and so the Amerleus
people have more In common with the
team than the letters across the uni
forms. Also the attendance is better,
gate receipts have swelled, and salar
ies are being paid. Do the results jus
tify this? Observe the scores and
you’ll find your answer.
A properly managed stock .company
1s the true way to manage baseball.
It's not the only way, and sometimes it
is undesirable, but this latter is the
case only under certain anil very rare
conditions. And when all other means
of life have, failed, the vitalizing influ
ences of the stopk company rhrely
ever fall to impart new life. Prece
dents, too numerous to mention, can
be quoted. It was this that kept (Co
lumbia in the South Atlantic two years

THE HIKES MU ILF MOORE
IEIIH SENTEHCED TO
Valdosta, Ga., June 4.—For the third
time since the murder of the Carter
children, J. G. Rawlings and his sons,
Milton and Jesse, have been sentenced
to hang. Judge Robert G. Mitchell
came over from Thomasvllle this
morning for the purpose of resentenc
ing thebe men. ’the. sentences were
read in the court-room between 12 and
1 o’clock this afternoon, the con
demned men having been led from the
prison cells to hear the awful words
pronounced by the court fixing the
penalty for the crime with which they
are charged. There was only a small
crowd in the court-room at the time,
no one knowing that the men were to
be again sentenced. Judge Mltohell
asked each of them if they had any
thing to say why the sentences of the
court should not be pronounced, and
both of the boys responded In short
talks In which they asserted their in
nocence and stated that their lives had
been sworn away by Alf Moore and
old man Carter.
J.'G. Rawlings was the first of the
men to be sentenced. When asked
what he had tb say, he made quite a
lengthy speech to the court, in which
he declared that his boys had nothing
to do with the killing. He said that
they had not had a fair trial and that
they had not been treated right. He
expressed a hope that the court would
see that he was telling the truth, but
that their conviction was the result
of misrepresentation on the part of
those who had testified against the
boys. He declared that the court and
others would’find out at the Judgment
seat that what he stated was the truth.
RawlingB spoke entirely for the boys
and made no reference to himself.
Alf Moore was the last man sen
tenced. He had little to say except
that he had told the truth at the trial
and that he believed that God was
pleased with what he had done.
Judge Mitchell In fixing the day for
the exeeption had In mind the appeals
which had beep made to the supreme
court, and named the day that would
probably extend beyond the hearings
that are yet to be had.
The boys said they would protest
their innocence to the end, just aB they
have been doing all along.
Friday, July 13, was the day set for
the execution.

, Langnnse In France.
There are several districts in France
where the very undent tongues still
survive. Basque Is spoken by about
100,000 persons, who are naturally
proud of a language that Is their ex
clusive possession, for it Is unlike ev
ery other spoken tongue, nml the as
sertion is commonly made that to un
derstand It one must have learned It in
the cradle. This peculiar property
gives In the mind of the Basque people-
support to their belief that It was the
language of Adam and Eve. The same
claim 1b advanced, though, for Breton.
The Romans when they conquered
Gaul compared' Breton ,to croaking of
ravens. About a million people speak
Breton. Then there arc Flemish, still
spoken by n comparatively small num
ber In northensteru France, Catalan In
the Pyrenees-Orlentnlcs and Langue
doc and Provencnl, whose gradual ex
tinction has been delayed mainly by
the efforts of a few literary enthusi
asts.
fine gentlemen, their dandles. To rank
in this class the young man Is com
pelled to lace ids waist and to have a
hose ornament of polished obeli. But,
as an explorer sayB, "very few young
blades can afford to possess one, and
accordingly it may be lent either for a
consideration or ns a very special fa
vor. The possessor of one of these or
naments jcould easily buy a wife for It,
and sometimes It Is paid ns a tribal
tribute by one should ho hnve to pay
blood,money or be unable to give the
statutory pig as atonement for a mur
der.” Papuan husbands, too, have a
primitive way of dealing with their re
calcitrant wives. A man named Gedon
bad a shrewish helpmate whom be at
tempted to tame according to this
method: “He would pick up a billet of
wood when she wub halfway through a
tremendous scolding and give her a
terrific blow over the back. Thereupon
ensued pandemonium. The other nfen
and women would guther round, jab
bering, but they would moke no at
tempt to stop tbe beating once It bad
begun.”
Ancient Roses.
Flinders Petrie, the archaeologist,
while excavating nmong some ancient
Egyptian tombs, found a wreath of
roses which had been bound Into a
gnrinnd and burled with the dead thou
sands of years ago. M. Crepln, the bot
anist and mlcroscopist, made a care
ful examination of this queer find and
prepared a paper on it which ho rend
before tbe Royal society of Belgium.
From this paper It appears that in
places where the flowers were matted
together they still retained their color
ns well ns a very faint odor. The
species to which they belong Is now ex
tinct, but a rose resembling them in
several particulars Is still grown in
Egypt and Abyssinia.
“A Dare BodLln.”
“Bare” means “mere” as well as
“naked.” and I cannot doubt that by
“bare bodkin” Shakespeare meant
“mere bodkin,” the point of the passago
being with how contemptibly small an
Instrument we could, If wo chose, put
an end to life and all its bother. “Bare”
probably was used Instead of "mere”
for the sake of effective alliteration.
(Cf. with Hamlet’s “bnre bodkin;”
Richard II.’s “little pin,” . Ill, 2, 109.)
For “bare” in the sense of "mere” I
need cite only “bare Imagjnntlon of a
feast.”—London Notes and’Queries.

The Faahionnble Dinner.
Eight men exclusive of the butler are
required to servo it dinner, of twenty-
four covers, one belug allowed for ev
ery three diners. Another Is stationed
in the pantry to “run In” tho courses.
Absolute order and silence reign
among these men, who perfectly under
stand the butler's cabullstlc signs.
Electric signals pass constantly be
tween chef and biylor. From tho seat
ing of guests until the ladles leave not
more tlian elghty-live minutes should
elapse, for loug dinners are considered
bad form. Upon these occasions
scarcely a member of tbe domestic
corps escapes some special duty. The
housemaids assist tbe pantry maid.
After each course twenty-four silver
plates and countless small sliver must
be carefully cleansed, wiped very dry
and then polished with chamois before
being put nwny. Nearly 200 pieces of
engraved crystal warq, must be washed
and polished, and It Is too costly and
brittle to be hastily hnndled.—Every
body's Magazine.
Ghost or Illusion f
A minister of tho gospel, according
to this talc, was walking to and fro In
a long passage that ran through the
house and meditating upon his next
sermon. There brushed by him a
housemaid. He watched her pass and
enter his study. Fearing that she
would disarrange his papers, be hurried
after her, went Into bis study—and no
one was there. No means of egress
was possible but by the one door
through which he had seen the girl en
ter. \ Ho rang tbe bell and—the house
maid came down from tho top of tbe
house, where she had been performing
her duties. And the unusual part of
the story Is that nothing happened—
no one sickened and died. The young
woman married hupplly. And yet that
minister of the gospel is sure that lie
saw that housemaid pass him. Nor to
this day does his stout and happy ma-
trail know that she was ever In two
places at’once.
Wealth In Old Romun Times.
Our wealth, as much ns we boast of
It, Is comparatively puny ns compared
with the wealth of men of old. There
was Mark Antony's house that was
sold to Messala for over $300,000, and
Seaurus' villa was burned at a loss of
over $12,000,000. Otlio spent over $14.-
000.000 In finishing) one wing of a
palace commenced by Nero. Nearly
$30,000,000 was found in tbo coffers
of Tiberius, nnd Caligula spent 1t all In
less than a year. Paulas could make
a trilling present to tbe mother of Bru
tus of a pearl Worth over $30,000. So
let us' bo modest. We are a cheap
people, even the wealthiest of us.
