YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
CAMPAIGN ANOTHER STEP IN DEVEL
OPMENT OF AMERICUS AND SUMTER
\
..
The campaign to rk.se the needed
fund for the Young Min's Christian
Association now being tond-ucted is at
once an opportunity aid an inspira
tion. 1
It offers the opportunity to contribui'.'
money to enlarge the usafulness of an
organization whose usefulness will al
ways transcend its material resources,
no matter how great, will! always be
beyond computation in dollars and
cents, resulting as it doe* in clea i
sturdy manhood. 1
The campaign is an inspiration in
ONE HUNDRED YdiARS i
AGO. \
Should 1914 fail to be a memorable
year in the world's history, lit will
have been very different from tie year
of which it is the centenary. 1 Very
stirring events were occurring! juet '
one hundred years ago. Let us look at
some of them. I
One hundred years ago this year the 1
fame of the great N'apoeon suffered its '
first eclipse. On March 31 the allied
armies occupied Paris, and on April 11 '
Napoleon abdicated and prepared for 1
his exile on Elba. England proclaim
ed a thanksgiving for the peace of *
Europe. 1
On March 27 the battle of Great 1
Horseshoe Bend was fought, in wh eh 1
Andrew Jackson, just coming into 1
prominence, defeated the Creek In- 1
dians. It was a victory which was of
great significance to the young re- '
public, and which made Jackson the
idol of the people.
On July 25 the first engine carrying 1
a load upon the rails made a trip. This *
was in England. The inventor of the 1
locomotive was George Stevenson. The
name of the engine was the “Bluc'i
er,” whose escaping steam made so
much noise that the law' pronounced it
a nuisance. The rate of speed was
about five miles an hour.
In July the first steam vessel of
war ever built in the whole world wps
completed for the American navy. It
was designed by Robert Fulton. Our
navy before that had consisted of
twenty sailing vessels.
On August 24 the Capitol and WhPe j
House at Washington were fired by ’
the British. Only two wings of the
original structure were standing. A
rainstorm extinguished the flames be
fore much damage was done.
In September the Congress of Vien
na was held. It was composed of
commisiscners from various European
States who attempted to reorganize
Europe and bring hack bounds and
relations as they were before Napoleon
changed them.
On November the 28 the first per
fected steam printing press was set
to work. Konig was the inventor.
Eighteen hundred copies of the London
Times were printed on one side withiu
an hour.
On December 23 the battle of New
Orleans began; but the final victo-y
was not w r on by the Americans until
January 8, 1815. Andrew' Jackson was
in command of the American forces
.His army numbered 5,500 men; that;
of Pakenham, the British general,;
about 10.000. Jackson's army fought j
behind cotton bales.
On December 5 the Treaty of Ghent
> was signed. This was two weeks be
, fore the battle of New Orleans. The j
treat, will be celebrated this year on
. Christmas day by the International
. Peace Congress and other bodies
Some of the anniversaries that will;
3 occur this year will be those of Sir
Andrew Ramsey, the Scotch geologist;
3 Samuel J. Tilden, the American state -
- man; Henry Kirke Brown, the Ameri
■; can artist; the Baroness Burdette-
? Coutts, the noted philanthropist; John
. Lothrop Motley, the American histor
ian; Edwin Ray Lankester, the Eng
lish scientist; and FYederick W. Fi

fthat it presents Americus as the build
er —the builder not merely for the
present, but for the future.
And the eager manner in which the
city catches this inspiration anew and
rises to the fullness of the opportun
ity, is strikingly illustrated by tha
fact that her prominent business mer.
are taking active interest in the cam
paign from the beginning, which as
sures success. Herein is added inspi

Let no citizen be unrepresented in
this, another forward movement ir.

RINGING BASE HIT IS SOUL O '
BASEBALL
Batting is the soul of baseball.
It is what the keynote of a politictl
convention is to politics; wffiat the
knockout is to puglism; what flour is
to bread; what roast beef is to Eng
land.
The hit in the pinch brings the fans
upstanding with arm and voice raised
in a riot of joy—or leaves them in the
condition cf the New York fans w'hen
Baker made his first home run off
Rube Marquard in 1912 —when a vis
iting player makes it.
A 300 batting average has kept manv
an ivory skull in baseball. It causys
managers to overlook errors of com
or o-missions. To the player it occu
pies the same exalted place as the
holy grail occupied to the knights of
the round table.
The Athletics (defeated the Gianrs
in two world's series by everlasting
whaling the whey out of the ball, in
every game they were up there whack
ing away at everything offered, until
they had the infield dizzy and the out
field weary.
Because the tribe of Mack is apt to
indulge in a batting orgy any time,
they draw larger crowds that the “hit
less wonders,” as the champion White
Sox of a few years ago were called.
Fans Want Stars to
Tickle the PilL"
Go to any game where a great bar
ter is playing and note how the fans
call upon him to “get hold of one.’’ Let
Lajoie, Jackson, Cobb, Crawford,
Schulte, Zimmerman, Meyers, Baker,
j Daubert, Collins, Cravath or any of the
i great hitters walk tot he plate, then
glance over the faces near by. You
can read in every countenance the un
uttered desire to see the batter “pickle
the pill.”
Ed Dalahanty, the greatest batter
baseball has produced, batted with a
short swing, putting every ounce of
his strength behind every swing. Del
was easy to fool, but he wouldn’t re
main fooled. He always said he hit so
well because he outguessed the pitch
er and hail a remarkably' quick eye.
Anson was the first of the modern
school of batters. He was not slug-
I
er. He developed his ability' to “just
meet the ball,” but so great was his
strength and so heavy his bat, that
when he “just met" the bail, it shot J
away to the outfield at a terrific pace.
Some of the superstitions of great
ba'ters would be laughable were the
! - ’"t ones not so earnest.
b swings three bats and knocks
mt frem his spikes before facing
■ pitcher. Jimmy Sheckard’s gun
ays reposes un a certain spot on
‘ r; °f his cap Lajoe draws a nice
■.n the dirt with his bat before
ng into the box. Jimmy Ryan.
t 11 1 1 old Colt, insisted upon bats with a
j"' stripe. FraiiK Chance never looks
!)t the sccre board during a game,
j Davy Jones always touches third base
when returning to the bench from the
field. Roy Thomas walked around
behind the umpire when going to the
plate. They tell that Roger Connor
used to take his bat to bed with him.
About the only' satisfactory answer
to Gabriel d’Annunzio’s claim that
sleep is an illusion would be a 90-
cent alarm clock.
Gabriel d’Annaunzio’s vehement pr >
i test against flowers at his'funeral will
i be respected, much as wemhould like
to send ’em. i

TURN HAIR DARK
WTHSAfiF. TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens So
NaturaUy Nobody Can Tell.
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth
er’s treatment, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good, even
color, which is quite sensible, as we
are living in an age when a youthful
appearance is of the greatest advant
age.
Nowadays, Slough, we don’t have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. Ail
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy” for about 50 cents a
bottle. It is very popular because no
body can discover it has been applied.
Simply moisten your comb or a sob
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also produc
es that soft lustre and appearance of
abundance which is so attractive, be
sides prevents dandruff, itching scaip
and falling hair. Hooks’ Pharmacy,

St., Americus, Ga., says: “My back
caused me much suffering and I was
hardly able to work. The passages of
the kidney secretions were irregular
and caused me no end of annoyance at
night. Hearing Doan’s Kidney Pills
highly spoken of, I decided to try
them. They soon relieved the pain in
my back and gradually the other symp
toms of the trouble left. I always rec
ommend Doan’s Kidney Pills and I can
say that they are unequaled for curing
kidney trouble. That complaint has
never returned in my case
