COVINGTON’S PERCENTAGE IS
POSSIBLY AHEAD OF ANY AMA
TUER TEAM IN THE STATE
MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED.
Covington’s streak of winning con¬
tinues unabated, and baseball fever
has reached a temperature which has
absorbed a fairly unanimous portion
of this city and vicinity.
The continuous and running Coving¬
ton— Monticello series annexed another
chapter Wednesday afternoon when
the local team chalked up another vic
troy to her credit, the scor e being 5 to
J. The gam P was fast, snappy and in¬
teresting.
Covington played Stone Mountain
here Thursday, and the total tallies
reckoned 11 to 1. Newsom and Neal,
of the local crew, connected for triple
swats each, whil e Lee for Covington
and Evans for Stone Mountain, pasted
the pill over the fence for a home run.
Oakes, of Stone Mountain also featur¬
ed for his cohorts, securing two hits.
Ston P Mountain was scheduled to
play two games here, but on account
of their weak team, was shipped after
thp first game. The people of Coving¬
ton pay their money to see good games
and it was nothing but right that the
manager of the local team to caret;,
games that do noj come up to the
standard of good amateur baseball.
Other fields have been explored by
the series now in progress with Wash¬
ington. This team from Wilkes won
a thrilling game Monday afternoon by
the markers of 4 to 3. No f a single
run was scored by either side until th P
last half of the fifth, then Hitchcocn
crossed the plate for the local boys on
a wild throw over first.
In the eighth inning with two men
down and two of the visiting boys on
base, Neal lauded one to lef ( field, and
Porter, for Covington, misjudged the
ball, muffed It, and th e two men that
were on bases together with Neal,
scored, making the score 3 to 1. Wash¬
ington scored another one In th e first
half of the ninth, and in the last half
the local team succeeded in getting
two men on base and nobody out, then
Gibson drove a hot one to short and
Porter scored on a wild throw over
first, two other wild throws aud Rea¬
gan ami Gibson crossed the plate.
This would hav e tied the score, but
after much wrangling, Reagan and
Gibson were called back to their bases
finally scored on Hunt’s wild
pitch, making the final tally of 4 to 3
in favor of Washington.
Yesterday Washington again defeat¬
Covington in an interesting game by
a score of 6 to 3. Perryman for the
visiting team pitched his usual steady
game, while Stone received him with
his utmost ease and ability as a catch¬
Hitchcock did the twirliug for the
local boys aud pitched a brilliant game.
Hitchcock is no t only a good pitcher,
but can ues the stick as well. Newsom
our star catcher, played his usual er
rorless game.
Washington plays here agaiu this
afternoon. The game will l>e called at
4 o’clock. The admission Is 25c for
adults and 10c for children. The
brand of baseball needs no introduc¬
tion. Covington wants to maintain an
unbroken chain of victories, and al¬
though Lord Nelson is not present, his
well known words are paraphrased to
say, “Covington expects even- man to
do his duty.”

ington. The questions will be opened

and are still being made to add to the
comfort of th e occasion, and all who
anticipate attending Camp Meeting this
vear and haven’t already secured their
tents, had better do so gj once. For

QUESTION OF W. AND A.
RAII ROAD UNSETTLED
PRELIMINARY WORK WELL OUT
OF THE WAY AND ACTION LS
EXPECTED AT AN EARLY DATE.
Atlanta, Ga., July 28.—O.ie ol uk
most important questions before the
Georgia legislature, the proper protec¬
tion of the Western and Atlantic rail¬
road, is still unsettled, but now that
the assembly Is getting down to earlier
hours and the preliminary work is well
out of the way it is expected that ac¬
tion will be taken. Colonel Walter P.
Andrews, of Fulton county, one ot in¬
most ardent champions of the state
rights. i s vigorously pushing work on
bis own bill to guard the road against
’oss in value by the projiosed building
if paralel line from Atlanta to Carters
ville by the Louisville and Nashville
system
There is some question as to whether
the state cun forbid the issuance of a
charter to the propo; ed road, and it
may be that a constitutional amend¬
ment will be necessary. But the legls
tui’e projKises to stop the competing
road If possible without waiting on the
amendment plan, which requires sev¬
eral years_ ~
Another measure introduced by Col.
Andrews, who Is proving a live wire
in the house, is that to create a state
highway commission to have charge of
ail mporiant road work. Bis con
feres regard this as one of the most
important pieces of legislation of this
session, as it will greatly systematize
road building and benefit the whole
state,
WHY NOT ADVERTISE IN
YOUR HOME PAPER?
Atlanta, Ga., July 28.—While small
town merchants complain of the mail
order houses taking away their trade,
the Fourth Estate, a publication devot¬
ed to newspaper work, has made an
investigation which shows that lack
of publicity on the part of local mer¬
chants is responsible.
The investigation showed that farm¬
ers received mall order catalogues
regular, while compartively few local
merchants advertised in their horn
papers to any extent, and then only
with old standing ads which were lari,
ing in attractiveness, quoted no
prices, and were not calculated to
produe e a desire for goods. In those
towns where the merchants advertised
liberally, the Influence of the mall or¬
der bouse was hardly felt.
NOTHING PASSED OF
ANY IMPORTANCE
WITH FIVE WEEKS OF LEGISLA¬
TURE GONE HARDLY A MEAS¬
URE OF GENERAL IMPORTANCE
HAS BEEN PASSED,
Atlanta, Ga., July 28—With five
weeks of the legislature’s fifty days
past, there has been hardly a measure
general importance passed, and the
weeks of the session promise
b e so crowded with work that many
bill will slip by without careful in¬
spection and many others, deserving
but unbacked by leaders, will be left
In their pigeon holes.
The assembly members have done
traveling this session.
They have been to Athens, most of
them to Chattanooga, and nearly every
body to Tybee, besides ail kinds of
for big committees and barbecues
dinners in Atlanta.
The temperance-prohibition question
still unsolved, and the two houses
flooded with bills and substitutes
to settle this" mooted point.
bas been a singular absence of
oratory or excitement on the
and altogether it promises to
a rather uneventful and compari
inexpensive "session.
There is a growing opinion in Geor¬
as reflected in hotel gossip, that
fewer laws passed this year or in
next decade the better off the state
be. Prophets say it will be only
few years until the annual sessions
give place to bi-ennial sessions,
state officials elected for four in¬
of two years.
