The Thomasvllle High School
the llrst game of the School League
a*, home, 'won from Moultrie High
School handily Wednesday afternoon
two timely bingles from the bat of
Jim Evans bringing in the three
runs credited to them. The game
wns started late, owing to the school
hours, but It was played In one hour
and thirty minutes, and was full of
Interest throughout.
The first ten men to race Price
were retired in order and It looked
as If M. H. S. was not to get a hit.
Thomasvllle, In the second, started
the ball to moving when Wheeler
doubled to right, was advanced on a
hot wallop to pitcher by Price and
both scored when Evans rapped one
sharply through the pitcher’s box
for a safety. This ended the run
getting until the ninth when Wheel
er singled, advanced on an error by
second and came home when Evans
got a Texas Leaguer to left.
Scarboro, for Moultrie, pitched
splendid game and was pastmaster
at all stages except in two stated In
nings. when they bunched hits, the
same three doing the stunt on both
occasions. He whifTed fourteen bat
ters.
Price pitched a good, steady game
throughout and he was assisted by
the sensational fielding and throwing
of Taylor Grantham behind the bat,
and the fast work of the infield and
outfield at critical stages. He was
rapped hard at times but his team
mates pulled him out of the hole at
critical stages. The Thomasvllle
hoys have Improved wonderfully In
their work and showed rare form
throughout yesterday’s game. Moul
trie has a team which Is quite Its
equal and they fielded like Veter
ans.

In Memory of Rev. O. C. Hough.
Last Friday night, March 20th, God
saw fit to take from us one of the
brightest Jewels that He ever plac
ed on this earth, our dearly beloved
brother, Rev. O. demon Hough. It
was one of the saddest deaths that
has occurred In some time. But
few people knew he was so sick. It
was unexpected and caused sadness
and sorrow in every home, aa well as
the deep sorrow it has cast upon
our church. Yet we feel confident
that our loss is his eternal gain.
Only three months ago he was or
dained at the First Baptist church
in Merrillville, of which he was a
consistent member. It can be truly
said of him that whereever he went
he wore a bright smile and carried
sunshine. Willie we mourn his de
mise, seemingly so untimely that he
should be taken from his life of
usefulness, in the very prime of man
hood. yet we know that God doeth
all things well.
How sweet must be the thought to
his parents as well as to all his
friends, and how comforting to know
that he is not dead, but only sleep-
etb, and we have only to wait the
coming of the resurrection to again
see his face.
As we look back on that dear boy’s
0 3 0 11 life, we only 1 iwls|h we had more
0 11 0 | such noble young men. Among his
0 2 10 commendable traits, was the affec-
— - Ition he had for his mother and fath-

SOON RESIGN
IF GUARANTEES FROM LONDON
ARE RESCINDED — PARLIA
MENT SEEMS TO BE STRONGER
THAN BEFORE,
London, March 26.—Field Mar
shal Sir John French, Chief of the
Imperial General Staff of the British
Army, resigned his commission to
day.
The Field Marshal’s was one of the
signatures to the memorandum, giv
ing guarantees to army officers that
they wouldn’t be ordered to fight the
Ulster Unionists. Ho regarded the
repudiation of this document by the
Government as a slight on himself,
and therefore retired.
Premier Asquith Still Has Upper
Hand In the Controversy.
London, March 26.—Although It
Is generally conceded that Premier
Asquith has again regained the up
per hand In parliament, the govern
ment Is by no means altogether out
of Its trouble. It still has some
very serious aspects of the army sit
uation to deal with.
Premier Asquith's repudiation of
the guarantees given the mutinous
army officers by Col. Seely, Secretary
of State for War, bus regained for
him the support of the Liberals and
the Irish L>abor members of parlia
ment. But It Is now asserted that
as soon as the government formally
withdraws the guarantees given them
by Col. Seely, the officers will again
resign, and this time, they state
their resignations will be “In ear-l
nest.”
High Army Officers May Resign.
The opinion prevailed here today
that resignature were probable from
Field Marshal Sir John French, who
is chief of the Imperial Staff, and
Lieutenant General Sir John Spen
cer Ewart, Adjutant General of that
force.
'An Important conference of all the
prlnlcpal commanders of the British
army were held today at the War
office, and Important developments
from that source are momentarily
expected.

pavement hard and white os marble,
over whose smooth surface the car
riage wheels glide without a Jar, and
which would tempt the most timid
to mount the frisky bicycle. What
can be more delightful than a six-
mile run over such a track, through
the mazes of semi-tropical forest,
with the salt breeze blowing up
from the ocean the songs of the
mocking bird, and the soft thunder
of the distant breakers for an ac
companiment.”
Directly across the St. Johns riv
er from Ft. George Island Is the
village of Mayport, connected with
Jacksonville by rail. -Mayport Is a
typical Atlantic coast settlement, full
wagon, scales and piping.

low Mayport are the Jetties at the
mouth of the 81. Johns. Fishing Is
as fine at the Jetties as at any other
point In Florida. A good fisherman
can not spend a day there when
fish are bitting well, go back home
and tell his story and be believed.
Often It Is a matter of physical en
