of the residence Sunday afternoon,
the little lady tripped out on the ver

Ish pleasure her new clothes. She
flitted around the corner of the house
and was seen no more alive. The

the church. The father promised to
follow to the place of worship as
soon as he should find the little girl
and her mother should be read
Search for the child found her—she

Close Call.
Mr. John C. Hart, Jr., a student
at the University of Georgia, and son
of Former Attorney General John C.
Hart of Union Point, came near meet*
Ing his death yesterday by asphyxia
tion in an accidental manner. He fell
asleep in the bathroom after a com
fortable souse and reclining on a
couch'with his bathrobe about him,
his foot touched the gas fixtures and
in the slight movement in sleep
turned the jet. When discovered, he
was almost overcome with the fumes
of gas. He was soon resuscitated,

slates that he experiences no ill ef
fects that he can discover from his
experience. This Is the second case

Cases Against Mr. John
A. Darwin, Insurance
Man, To be Heard on
Friday Morning.
COMMERCE BASEBALL CLUB
SWATS 2ND NINE UNIVERSITY.
(Special to The Banner.)
Commerce, Ga„ April 18.—The
second nine from the University of
Georgia came up to Commerce this
afetrnoon with the full expectation
and proud boast of capturing tbe
scalps of the local baseball club In
Commerce. After a hard-fought bat
tle, with W. B. Rico aa umpire, the
local team here ran up a nice little
score of nine to five against the vis
itor*.
Our local club have Just commenc
ed practicing playing hall and In the
next few weeks they will be In a po
sition to accept challenges from the
comers, whether professional or oth
erwise. Commerce baseball team,
like Commerce business men, lead all
comers, having few equals and no su
periors, and when tho ''Varsity”
team, like Alexander the Great, have
'no more worlds to conquer,” they
will surely meet foemen worthy of
their steel when they come to Com
merce and play a few games with the
Commerce baseball club.
So much interest centers about the
two Injunction cases against
John A. Darwin, general manager of
the Mutual Industrial Life Associa
tion of Georgia and promotor of the
new Georgia Insurance Corporation
of Georgia, that Judge Brand has se
cured the use of the council assembly
room at the city hall In the heart of
the business section of the city (the
courthouse being some distance out
and not so convenient to get to) and
the hearing of these sensational cag-
will be had at the city hall Frl
day morning, beginning at 10 o'clock
Some of the best legal talent In the
state Is alligned in the cases.
The friends of Mr. Darwin are con
fident that his statement that there
Is nothing In the petitions for In
junction and receivership Is true.
Since coming to Athens from Charles
ton, S. C., Mr. Darwin has been Iden
tified with successful Insurance busl
ness, he has been one of the leading
and most active members of the First
Baptist church, liberal and generous
in his charities and ever genial and
whole-souled in his manner. He haa
hundreds of flronds who believe that
the formal suits In the courts
which his Insurance companies are
concerned will turn ont to the ulti
mate advantage of those companies
and their chief promoter.

By James Callaway.
In the Macon Telegraph of Tues
day, April 4, appeared an editorial
When to be Progressive.”
From Ihe instructive nnd educative
editorial the following Is taken
'In matters of government the
fnthers of tills republic wrought the
greatest the world has seen. The best
exponent of the thought which con
trolled them in framing our Constltu-
Ion and laws Is voiced in the teach

of Hearst, nor the speeches of Bryan.
These letter 'progressives' have not
Improved on the old models. They
have not sanctified the temple of

They have made merchandise of It.
The one sells tons of newspapers,
and the other speeches by the ream.
"The 'progressives' In the days of
Moses turned away from the true God
nnd worshipped the golden calf. Their
kind are doing the same thing today."
Tho above quotation recalls tbe
speech of the. lamented Benjamin

Mr. Hill said: “It Is the noblest

human wisdom ever devised, and

It Is such as the Roman never

Senator Depew, In his recent

Senator Hoar In hla farewell ad

Ihe smaller states to one senator.
And Alexander H. Stephen* In hla

the people never ’to permit such
