LESLIE TAKES
11THSTRAIGHT
Opponents Appear Una

Slugging Team
LESLIE, July 24.—The Leslie
baseball -team continued its winning
streak Thursday and Friday of this
week, trimming Leesburg at that place
Thursday by the decisive score of 7
to 1, and Thompson Friday by ,13 to
3. Leslie has now won 11 straight
games.
Too much Clark and too many big
sticks was the trouble for the town
bovs at Leesburg. With a team re
juvenated by the presence of one
Ashby Fuss, of Macon, Leesburg
made an attempt to even the defeat
administered at Leslie Tuesday. The
same heavy hitters of the Leesburg
club gathered a total of two hits for
as many bases, while the Leslie bat
ters garnered more two-base hits than
they scored runs Deavors, Hines,
Bass and W. Johnson each hitting for
one or more doubles.
Fuss pitched good ball, but the
Leslie team lived up to its reputation
of hitting when hits mean runs. Clark
pitched air-tight ball all the way and
deserved a shut-out, the lone tally
being the result of errors.
The score: R. H. E.

to stop the heavy hitting Leslie team,
but nearly every player fattened his
batting average at the expense of
Waller. Summerford, Leslie’s star
third baseman, pitched and was effec
tive with men on bases, but eased up
after the game was won and the visi
tors hit safely six times for three
runs, not all earned, however.
The game was featured by the
heavy hitting of Deavours, Hines, R.
Johnson and Bass, of Leslie, and Mc-
Donald of the visitors; by the fielding
of Deavours and Hines at second and
short for the Leslie team, and by the
pitching of Summerford the “kid”
third baseman-pitcher.

Weeds Are Worrying
Sanitary Inspectors
“There is an abundance of rank
undergrowth found on many prem
ises we inspect,” said Chief B. L.
Naylor of the fire department, Satur
day, “and inspectors are experienc
ing some trouble in having these
weeds cleared up.” He then added
that the inspection begun recently
will be continued until the entire city
has been gone over, and that he will
have his men make retui i trips to all
premises where clean-up are ordered.
“Where warnings are not heeded,
cases will be made,” he says, “and the
offending property owner or house
holder will have to explain to Re
corder Fort.
SUGGESTS LIFTING
OF GA. TAX LIMIT
McLendon Has Plan To
Remedy Treasury
Trouble
ATLANTA, July 24—Georgia’s
general assembly faces two contin
gencies. It must authorize the gov
ernor to raise money in some manner
hitherto unknown to the state or it
must face the peril of havi.'.g it every
appropriation bill vetoed bv the chief
executive.
In this predicament a third con
tingency suggested by Guyt McLen
don, secretary of state, has suggested
itself to many as plausible. His sug
gestion is that the assembly adopt the
resolution authorizing a referendum
on the repeal of the constitutional
amendment which limits the state tax
rate to 5 mills and pass an act au
thorizing the governor to fix any
tax rate that the present financial
crisis of the commonwealth warrants.
While Governor Dorsey has not
specifically threatened to use his veto
power he shows that there is a casu
al deficiency in the treasury, that the
state has “no money and the govern
or’s borrowing power has already
been exhausted, therefore no appro
priation bills of any nature should be
passed by the legislature.
A special committee will draw up
recommendations for submission to
the legislature.
Thompson Baseball
Team Seeks Games
The Thompson baseball team, of
the 17th district, is playing a good
brand of amateur ball now and is
anxious to arrange to meet other
teams in this vicinity. The team has
a record of nine victories to only five
defeats. Two games Were played
with Ellaville during the week, Tues
day and Thursday, the first of which
resulted in a victory for Thompson
6 to 3 and the second a victory by a
score of 11 to 8. Leslie won over
Thompson Friday in Leslie.
Any team desiring a match with
Thompson is asked to communicate

Dr. Bond Warns
Against Mad Dogs
A number of “mad dog scares”
have been reported in various sec
tions of the county, and in the com
munity about Leslie, several dogs sus
pected of having rabies have been
killed. At Leslie there is one patient
taking Pasteur serum already, and
Dr. B. F. Bond yesterday asked that
attention of people be called to the
necessity for keeping a close watch on
all dogs exhibiting suspicious symp
toms. “There are a number of worth
less curs that should be killed, any
way,” Dr. Bond stated, “and it would
be well if as many of these as poss : -
ble be disposed of. There is always
more or less danger in keeping a cur
dog, and because of the presence
of these many fine hunting animals
and valuable watch-dogs are endan
gered. During the summer months,
especially, it is important to keep a
close watch on all dogs—and have
plenty of water where they can get it,
if you keep fine dogs,” is the advice
of the county health officer.
Cost of Living Going
Down, U. S. Figures Say
ATLANTA, July 24—The cost of
living is going down in Atlanta, ac
cording to the United States depart
ment of labor, in a bulletin which has
just been made public by the depart
ment’s bureau of markets, giving sta
tistics on living costs in fifty-three
different cities, the statement is made
that it cost two per cent less to live
in Atlanta during June than it did
during May.
The decrease in Atlanta compared
most favorably with living costs in
other cities. The average decrease du
ring June was only one-half of one
per cent in Dallas, Philadelphia and
Savannah. In Charleston, Cincinnati,
Little Rock, New and Nor
folk it was an even one per cent.
Mobile had the same decrease as At
lanta, two per cent; while Jackson
ville went them one better with three
per cent and Houston had the re
markable record of five ner cent d
crease.
However, it will take a good many
decreases like that to even matters
for during the year as a whole, from
June 1919, to June 1920, Atlanta
had a 14 per cent increase, and in
the period from 1913 to 1920 living
costs in Atlanta leaped 112 per cent.
Dr. Carl W. Minor, of the First
Baptist church, returned Friday night
from Ideal, where he closed a very
successful series of revival meetings
with a number of additions to the
church. He will occupy his pulpit
here today.
