ASSETS OF OUR COMPANIES OVER 75 MILLIONS LIPSCOMB & COMPANY Fire Insurance and Real Estate Established 1898 PHONE 109 CLUB STANDINGS PHELONS FABLES The Fable of the Great Captain Who Now Does Two a Day. I^ong, long ago, when the world was young, and organized baseball was just beginning to get set, there horn ed into the Arena a tall and bony person with light hair and a red, red neck. This large gentleman had a distinct idea that he was destined to do other things, while his bankroll was not so strong that you could notice it, but that didn't matter. The men who had cheered his loyalty the bygone days; the men whose terests he had prortected in the hour of need; the rich fellows who had every cause to be duly grateful—• Bo, there was not a chance that they chisel his name deep upon the tab- would for K et what he had donl “' lets of renows, and he lost no per ceptible time in doin so. From the jump he made himself eminent as a noble slugger, and within a few seasons he showed so much acumen and think that he was made a cap tain, a manager and the whole vis ible works of a prominent ball club. Being in full control of the situa tion, th»s person with the crimson neck, the ample shoulders, and the enormous bat proceeded to do all .•orts of things in the line of gain ing glory. He created a stonewall infield and he discovered sundry devils in the disguise of pitchers. As the years rolled-by, he won pen nants, many of them ,and every body kowtowed to him as ho came down the boulevard. He was, in short, the great ahkooned of the na tional game, and there wasn’t a man or kid around the circuit who was not proud to have the captain notice him. Along ir. the flood-tide of this Prosperity, there came a big baseball storm. Some diaffected beefers who figmvd that baseball offered great opportunities for independent action, got busy, and drew most of the topnotch players into a new combi nation. The ship of organized base ball staggered before the gale, and seemed about to crash upon rocks. It was manifest to the surgents Jhat if the . big captain could be coaxed o' er, all bets would be off. and that the public lured by the magnetism of his great name, would flock to the new attraction. Consequently the agents and the fellow-players flocked around the cap, and pictured in glowing terms the glory and the affluence which would be his should he but jump the job and land on the other side of the dividing line. It was a great temptation and » peach of a proposition; but the big captain wasn’t that sort of a guy. He was a brave soul and a good gerfcral, but his ideas of loyalty and friendship were distinctly antiquated and old- fashioned. He believed that if he Stuck by the reeling ship it would yet right itself and sail through to vic tory, and that he owed it to the com pany with which he had so long been mixed to stick by them to a finish. So the colossus turned down the big of fer, stuck by the old gang, and all came out as he had figured. The new venture proved a hunk of cheddar; the new league died in a hurry, and the old order still prevailed. For some years after this, the old captain paddled along at the old stand, but at last there came a shape- up, and, to his intense surprise, off went his official onion. This, how- ?ver, did not rattle him. True, h< had given the best years of his life to the game, and was now too old to that they would fail to come through with a swell job for the ancient hero. And, of course, they were duly grateful—in a pig’s valise, they They all looked the other way, and said something about “Oh, that Long Ago,’ ’and “Why didn’t he Keep it when he had it?” And the old warhorse, not understanding the ways of the modern generation, moon ed around for several seasons before he got wise to the theories of modern Ahen, discovering a chance vaudeville, he graduated in to lime- ght, and has ever since done two-a- day around the country in a game through onerous endeavor to bring home the kale. Now and then, he at tends a big league meeting, Tor he still has traces of that foolish idea concerning loyalty, friendship, old memories, and the square deal. Will this ever get him anything? It will—lykelle, lykelle it will. Moral: It’s not what you did for 5 once, it’s what you can do for us day. Southern League. Clubs Won Lost P,C.

GOOD VAUDEVILLE AT THE COLONIAL Jack Amick’s “Pennant Winners’ made a distinct hit last night when they presented their play “Navajo”, which is a roaring musical comedy. The songs were new and catchy and the players all seemed to put their best efforts forth towards making the show what it should be. The au dience showed their approval by re peatedly enchoring the players. This same company is going to be here the remainder of this week and tomorrow will present a complete change of probram. They will also put on a different show on Friday and Saturday. It is safe to predict thtat if these other players are as good as this one, that they will be greeted every night by packed houses.

Special Excursion Train to Tallulah Falls with Sum mer School. July 11. $1.50 round trip. Fully 500 people gathered at the Baptist Tabernacle at the 10 o’clock service this morning. This was possibly the largest crowd that has yet been present at the morning ser vice. Although an “old people’s meeting” and the congregation was made up largely of people past sixty years of age, much interest was shown on the part of the younger people and many there were who declared themselves out and out for the Christian life. A touching scene it was when three, well advanced in life, offered themselves as candidates for membership in the church. Dr. Dew, in announcing his text, stated that there were four principal facts to be considered: First, Heaven is a place. Second, The inhabitants of Heaven are the redeemed. Thud, These redeemed are going to have bodies. Fourth, idenity is to be pre served. With this basis established and prove | by the word of G^d, the evangelist very convincingly settled the question, “Shall we know each other in Heaven” which was his sub ject The preacher very graphically portrayed the Bible scenes of the Marriage Supper, the scene on Mount of Transfiguration and others, establishing his position that the saints will “know as they are known’ that the memory does not die, etc. Tonight the subject will be “Our Mothers'”. All are invited. Last night the auditorium was well filled and it is likely that standing r will be at a premium tonight. The memory verse today is found in the fourteenth chapter of John, the second and third verses. “In Fathers house are many mansions: if :re not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
