ABOU BEN ADHEM
Abou Den Aillicm-may his tribe incrcas*--
Awoke one night from n deep dream of
pence
And saw within the moonlight in his room,
Making'it rich nnd liko a lilly in bloom,
An nngcl writing in a book of gold;
Exceeding pence hnd made Den Adhcm
bold
And to the presence in the room he said:
“What writest thou?” Tho vision raised
its head,
And with a look mndc of sweet accord,
Answered, "The names of those who love
the Lord.”
"And is mine one?” said Abou/ "Nny,
not so,”
Rcpliod tho nngcl. Abou spake more low
But cheerily still, nnd said: "I pray thee
then
Write mo ns one that loves his fellow
men."
The angel wrote and vanished. The next
■tight
It enme again, with a great wakening
light, •
And showed tho names whom love of
God had blest—
And lo, Ben Adhem’s name led all the rest.

The first game of the four game
series with the Valdosta Dixie
League team resulted in a 1 to 0
victory for the professionals.
Mosely pitching for the locals
was in good form and should have
won his game in a walk, as he gave
up only three hits, while Moore for
Valdosta gave tip nine.
The game was a pretty one from
start to finish, with the exception
of the base running of the Cairo
boys. They ran wild every time a
man rcuched first, and time after
time ruined their -chances for one
or two scores. Valdosta’s lone run
came in the third, with a man on
second, when Roddenbery let a fast
one through him which let the man
on second score.
The feature of {he game was the
hitting of Roddenbery, Spence and
Bell for Cairo.

Valdosta came back and won the
second game 3 to 2.

Cairo took “cold feet” in the sec

ished it.
This game was lost by the Cniro
toam on errors by Bell and Hollo
way. Owens for Valdosta gave up
seven hits, while Holloway only
ullowcd four hits during the sevon
innings. He pitched a good game
all the way through and would
have won easily but for three cosU
ly errors behind him.
The feat ure of the game was the
hitting of Spence and Bell; Ball
getting a double and two singles
out of four times at bat.

Judge Park Makes Good
Judge Park is now serving his
first full term, und that he has serv*
ed ably and well is attested Wy tho
strong endorsements that ho has
received from home and abroad;
and that he again will serve the
people is the prediction of those
conversant with the political situa
tion in the several counties of the
district, us eho masses of the peo
ple believe that a public servant in
the halls of congress should be kept
at the post if ho has made good and
Congressman Park has made good.
At Washington he is in high cs
teem with his colleagues, and has
rapidly risen to planes on the most
important committees as Iub ability
lias been recognized, making him
of more service to his parly and to
the people. Ho is now in better
position to serve his constituents
and the country as well and will
continue to grow as his efficiency
and worth arc more and more re
cognized.
On account of the small Demo
cratic majority of Jtwenty-two in
the present Congress, it has not
been possible for Judge Park to
make a canvass of the District as
lie would liked to have done, how
ever, it should not be necessary for
him to do so, as his faithfulness to
the interests of the people shonld
earn him the reward of another
term. Judge Pat'k ean be depend
ed upon nnd tho district wifi do
well to keep him in the position.

It looked like a bad day for the
third game on account of heavy
rains, but the game was finally
started at four-thirty with Mosely
and barrow batteries for Cairo arid
Spitz and Thompson for Valdosta.
“Red” had ’em on his hip for
the first five innings, only one man
reaching first up to this time. In
the seventh Valdosta filled the
bases on an error add' two hits.
Witli two out Brown and Spence
made EcBvcrs look like a high
school kid, when lte was caught
napping at second. This was the
last chance Valdosta had of scoring
until Wicker,. the funny little
center fielder, with two out dnd
two strikes and three balls on him
hit one-over the right field fence
for an easy home run.
In the last half of the ninth,
with the score'tied and only about
two minutes to piay, Sandifer hit
the first one Spitz offered him over
the right field fence for two bags.
NeSmith the next man up hit a
long fly to center on-which Sandi
fer took third. Brown struck out
With threo balls and two strikes On
him, Mosely hit a screaming single
to left-field which won of the pret
tiest games ever played on the
local diamond. Final score 2 to 1
in favor of Cairo.
The local fans think “Red” is
one of the best pitchers they have
ever seen, and he proved himself
worthy of this opinion by winning
his own game.

Mr. Ira W. Williams, and Mr. J
D. Smith of the Georgia State
Board . of ■ Entomologist were in
Cairo Thursday. They stated that
the recent rainy weather was not
only favorable to the rapid increase
of the weevil but that it also made
it much more difficult to combat
him. They word of the opinion,
however, that lie. had gotten to
work this yoar.top late to do very
much damage. The Department
of Entomologist is planning to hold
a meeting at some’ point in Qrady
county tit an early date to discuss
seed selection for boll weevil con
ditions and other matters connect

situation. Annoucement of the

Fourth Game
The Fourth game of the series
resulted in another victory for
Cairo by the score of 5 to 1.
In the first inning Valdosta made
her only run and afterwards there
was nothing doing. The team has
been somewhat weakened by a
number of their players leaving.
' Features of the game was the
heavy hitting of the Cairo team;
a running catch in center by Red
Smith which looked alfflost impos
sible to the spectators, .but “Red”
is always on the job. Another
feature was the throw from left
field by Sandifer which cut off. a
run for Valdosta.
