ROYAL
BAKING POWDER
Absolutely Pure
Absolutely has no substitute
**£ C '
Many mixtures are offered as
substitutes for Royal. No other
baking powder is the same in
composition or effectiveness, or
so wholesome and economical,
nor will make such fine food.
Royal is the only Baking Powder made
from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar

Fans will again have an opportunity to get a line on the quality of
ball-tossing the locals are doing when Brunswick comes to the city the
latter part of the week for three games, which will be played here Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday.
** * *
It is expected that the rejuvenated team that wears the local uniforms
«
will be in good trim for the series here with the Pilots. As the Brunswick
and Americus teams seem to be vying with each other for the tail-end
places, the games will arouse special interest, for the locals must evi
dently head off the Brunswick team first thing before they- can get far
ther up the ladder.
** * *
After the Brunswick series closes the locals will again lock horns
with the leaders here. Valdosta will come to Americus for a series of
three games, beginning next Monday. It does seem that those who ar
ranged the schedule happened upon the error of sending the same teams
back to the same places when they .night have worked in a little more va
, riety but then that was up to the schedule makers, and the schedule
has been made.
** * *
Cordeie has been here only one time since the season opened, and that
in the first series of games, while Waycross has also been here only one
time. On the other hand, Brunswick will come for the third time this
week. But then it is hardly possible to arrange a schedule st) as to give
the creates* variety of teams around the circuit.

Criminal Docket WOI Likely
Be Concluded
The spring term of Sumter superior
court will likely come to an end with
the sessions held today, as it was
stated yesterday that the criminal
docket had nearly been completed. This
is the third week of the session, one
week having been given to civil busi
ness and two to criminal.
The session of the grand jury will

that body will end its deliberations

than the usual interest on account o.
the activity of the grand jury in bring
ing indictments against those charged
with gaming, violation the prohibition

VETERANS HONOR
OWEN’S MEMORY
Bust of Union Soldier Pre
sented by Confederates
Indianapolis, June 10.—Veterans ot
the armies of the Confederacy honor
ed the memory* of a gallant union sol
dier when their representatives pre
sented to the state of Indiana a bust of
Col. Richard Dale Owen, Col. Owen
was in command at Camp Morton, near
Indianapolis, in 1882, when the men
who have donated the bust were num
bered among the Confederate prison
ers there. They carried away with
them appreciative recollections of the
courtesy and consideration which the
commandant showed them, while they
were his involuntary guests.
Indiana made a place in her state
rouse for the bust, and yesterday Vice
President Thomas R. Marshal, former
governor of Indiana, accepted on be
half of his state. The presentation
was made by Gen. Bennett H. Yonug,
of Louisville, commander in chief of
the United Confederate Veterans, and
S. A. Cunningham, editor of the Con
federate Veteran, who was one of the
prisoners of Col. Owen.
The cord releasing the draperies cov
ering the bust was pulled by Mrs.
Nora Owen Armstrong, a grandaug.i
ter of Col. Owen and now a "daughter
of the South,” her home being at
Memphis, Tenn. It is believed to Oe
the first time in history that a Union
soldier has been so honored by Confed
erate veterans.
“This occasion convinces me more
and more,” said Vice President Mar
shal], "that there was a divine plan
behind the founding of this republic,
and notwithstanding adverse forces
from within and without the Christian
civilization of our nation has been
unfolding from year to year.
“The gift shows,” said the vice
president, "that men may differ and
yet be honest and that, after their
ihonest differences had been settled
they could come together in unity and
an intense feeling of patriotism for
their nation.”
Gov. Ralston presided at the cere,
monies, which were held in the corri
dor of the state house where the bust
will remain.
In presenting Col. Daniel W. Com
stock, commander of the Indiana G.
A. R., who introduced Gen. Young
Gov. Ralston said:
“They (referring to Gen. Young and
Judge Comstock), have served their
country well in different positions, but
1 doubt if either was ever afforded a
more agreeable opportunity than this
to plead for a broader patriotism.”
Gen. Young after praising Col.
Owen’s humanitarianism said not one
word of criticism of the gift had been
heard South and that the Southern
people are pleased to honor a man ‘‘o>r
what, fifty years ago, caused sharp
est criticism among his own peo
ple and brought upon him condemna
tion from his superiors.”
On the speaker’s stand were several
members of the Owen family, includ
ing Horace P. Owen, the only living
son of Col. Owen, of New Harmony,
Ind. In the audience were represent
atives of both the Confederate vet
erans and the G. A. R.
