COLUMBUS WIN SECOND
HALF IN SALLY LEAGUE
Savannah, Ga,, July 21.—The 1916
baseball season of the South Atlan
tic League came to a close yesterday
with Columbus winner of the second
half. Columbus will meet Macon,
winner of the first half, in the post
season series for the championship,
best four out of seven games to de
cide the winner.
The season was originally sched
uled to end August 28, but because
of the shaky status of several of the
clubs, and in order to keep' the league
intact for the 1916 season, the league
directors decided a month ago to
wind up on July 20.
President Corish, before leaving
for Macon last night, stated that the
league had weathered the off-season
even better than had been expected,
and that the post-season series be
tween Macon and Columbus should
furnish an exciting finish for the
shortened race.
The first two games will be played
in Macon, it being the custom to play
the opening contests on the grounds
of the club winning the first half.
The first game starts today.

Piling It On.
. He had been on a hunting expedi
tion for several days in the back
woods, roughing it rather severely,
and on taking a seat in a railway
carriage returning homeward he look
ed as begrimed and weather beaten a
trapper as ever brought his skins
^into a settlement.
He happened to find a seat next to
n young lady—evidently belonging to
Boston—who, after taking stock of
him for a few minutes, remarked:
‘‘Don’t you find an utterly passion
ful sympathy with nature’s most in
carnate asperations among the sky
topping mountains and the dim aisles
of the horizon-touching forests, my
good man? n
“Oh, yes," replied th eapparent
backwoodsman, “and I am also fre
quently drawn into an exultation of
rapt soulfulness and beautifle incan
descent infinity of abstract contiguity
when my horse stumble*. 1 *
“Indeed!” said the young lady,
much surprised. "I had no idea that
the lower classes feel like that.”—

/ Climax of Courtesy.
The extreme of courtesy seemed to
have been reached by the owners of
a mine in Colorado, says the New
York Evening Post, when they
placed at the mouth of the mine shaft
this notice:
“Visitors will please not fall down
the mine.”
, However, one visitor who disre
garded this polite request and was
picked up at the bottom of the flrat
level with some dislocated ribs and a
broken arm, outdid even the courtesy
of the sign. He said:
“Beg pardon, gentlemen; beg cor
don.” *
“What’s the man who just kicked
the chair over and threw a pack of
cards into the fireplace?” inquired
one waiter.
“Oh,” replied the other, “he's tbs
gentleman who tried to rest his
nervos by playing solitaire.”

ChEER UP—BIG BUSINESS
IS HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES.
Get Ready For Fall.
Business Is Increasing.
(Washington Post).
With an agricultural production
in prospect that was never be
fore equaled in quantity nor ap
proached in value, what is uni
versally held as the very foun
dation of national prosperity is
assured for the Uni.ed States.
With unprecedented activities in
our industrial districts, east,
west, north and south; with more
employes, operatives, workers in
our mines, our mills, our shops,
our factories, our shipyards than
ever in the history of the re
public; with higher average of
pay of the individual and far
greater totals of the pay rolls of
the manufacturing establishment
he is, indeed, a deeply dyed pessi
mist who fails to be satisfied
with industrial conditions.
With financial ease from the
Canadian line to the Gulf of Mex
ico, from the coasts of Maine to
San Diego and Cape Nome, with
ample reserve of currency to care
for both foreign and domestic
business on a scale of unsurpass-
ing magnitude, with some would-
be conservative financial editors
and supcrcautious financiers be
wailing an inflation of gold in
the United States, while other na
tions are prohibiting the export
of the yellow metal, surely the
monetary conditions of the repub
lic are in excellent shape, and
should give strength to enter
prise and supreme confidence to
ail business men.
There may be some individuals
who will say the administration
is not responsible for the fine
crops or the good prices they are
bringing.
Grant that: but that does not
destroy the advantages which the
country is deriving from the
great crops and good prices.
There may be some partisans
who will say the administration is
not responsible for the European
war and its resultant immense
ofders for war purposes or for,
the orders for food supplies neces
sitated by the devastation of the
agricultural districts of that con
tinent.
Grant that; but the orders are
here for war material, the orders
are here for the food supplies,
the orders are here for locomo
tives, for cart, for steel rails, for
coal, for copper, for lead, for mo
tor trucks, lor automobiles, boats,
for cotton and com and wheat
and rye and for all the products
of millions of' our broad acres,
•nd the people of the United
States are busy producing and
working with resultant'profits.
There is extraordinarily large
business being transacted now in
the United States, with every
prospect of record-breaking re
sults in volume, value and profits
from such business.
To deny the facts of puch ex
isting business conditions but
stamps the denier as one who has
senses that will not reveal the
truth to his brain or a brain well
trained to receive the Impressions
of his own desires.
The Carnegie Steel Company,
the Jones &. Laughlln Company,
the National Tube Works and the

The H. K. Porter Company has

For the fiscal year of 1915,

to 53,091,495, as compared with
the fiscal year 1914.

Evers Causes Big
Row in Baseball
Johnny Evers.
Little Johnny Evers, who has
caused much trouble in' baseball—
usually to the opposing clubs—has
stirred a row among the officials of
the National League by his remarks
during a game in Boston the other
day.
Evers, taking exception to a decis
ion by Rigler, who declared Bob Bes-
cher safe at the plate on a close play,
was quoted in a newspaper as hav
ing shouted:
“They’re trying to get the crowds
out; they’ve ordeygd a close race;
leave them alone, boys; they’re only
following instructions.”
Evers later expressed indignation
because his remarks had been inter
preted as a claim that the National
League race was “fixed.” He said:
“I claim no such thing. I’ve been
in baseball long enough to know bet
ter. To be sure, I might have said
anything on the ball field. When an
umpire hands you one like Rigler did
at the home plate what you say will
invariably be the result of hard feel
ing at the time.
“You’re out there fighting, and any
thing you can get away with goes.
Nobody living could fix a race like
the one in the National League just
now. It’s the greatest ever, and we
all have a chance.”
George Stallings said: “There Is ab
solutely no truth in the story that
Captain Evers said that the Nation
al League race was ‘fixed.’”

An Electric Washer
Means Real Saving
It means a saving in clothes, time and money.
There is no rubbing and scrubbing as in the old
way. The saving in wear and tear, on clothes
will really pay for the Electric Washer in a
short time. Ap Electric Washer will wash even
the most delicate fabrics quickly and thoroughly
w’ithout harm. And think of the enormous sav
ing in time (From 5 to 7 minutes will wash an
ordinary tub-full absolutely clean). Then you
run them through the electric wringer and hang
them up to dry. Simple, isn’t it? Inexpensive,
too. May we tell you more about it? Will you
call, or shall we?
