mark in two games
Covington defeated Milstead In two
games of baseball last week, the first.
at home on Wednesday by the score of
, to 3 and the second at Milstead by
,
13 to 2 score.
The first game was close and excit¬
ing front the start to the finish, and
was anybody's game until n fast dou¬
ble play from Mills to Bailey to Luck
put an end to the chances of Milstead
who was threatening at every turn to
snatch victory from us.
VandegrilT and Parks were the ltat¬
ting stars of this game, while Lester
was the individual fielding star, and he
also drove in the winning runs in the
eighth inning, with a screaming single
to center field. The whole team played
with life and fight, and was not to be
denied victory.
The Thursday game at Milstead was
even more desperately fought from a
local standpoint, as the whole team
went into this game with blood in their
eyes, and when the final put-out was
made they had driven one star pitcher
to cover and severely man-handled an¬
other, and when the final box score
was totalled on the addingmaehine it
was discovered that Covington had
made 17 hits for a total of 22 bases,
and had scored 13 runs to their oppo¬
nents 9 hits and 2 runs.

FLAG DAY OBSERVED
IN COVINGTON
Tuesday, June 14th, Fittingly Observ¬
ed by 1). A. R.’s as National Flag
Day. Old Glory Waved Proudly.
Prom early sunrise, til set of sun,
Tuesday, the Star Spangled Banner
floated in the breeze, above Coving¬
ton’s court house. celebrating Flag
Day, which falls upon June 14th.
The D. A. R. directed the observ¬
ance. It is to the energetic efforts of
these noble Daughters of tlie Ameri¬
can Revolution that the annual cele¬
bration became an innovation.
Flag Day means something to the
American people. It suggests the strug¬
gle of the American colonies for inde¬
pendence; it is a reminder of the work
of Betsy Ross who in the city of Phil¬
adelphia with her needle and her fab¬
rics constructed the first American
flag; it reminds us of the course of his¬
tory that has added star after star to
that galaxy until the thirteen original
stars have developed into the emblem
as we see it today, the flag of a great
nation. The flag is tite same as that
constructed by Betsy Ross, except
that the stars have multiplied as the
nation has developed, and in celebrat¬
ing Flag Day we commemorate not on¬
ly tiie birth of the American flag but
its growth in importance as a factor
in the economic problems of the world.
European governments were old when
the American flag was constructed;
numerous civilizations had risen to
power and glory and gone down like
the setting sun, except that they were
t,> rise no more. Their banners are no
longer seen and would not Vie recog¬
nized if they were. Those nations
maintained their power by the sword
and by the sword they were swept
away. The American flag represents a
nation whose mission is one of peace
and philanthropy, a nation that has
made greater advancement in the short
period of its existence than European
nations have made in more titan a
thousand years. Let us keep that flag
spotless through all eternity, shunning
all European entanglements, in the
dt velopment of our nation and living
up to the principles of national virtue
that have made America great and the
stats and stripes the most glorious
emblem that floats today under the
blue canopy of heaven.

“PLAY THE GAME”
(Editorial)
An old farmer who had made enough money to keep him safely to tite end
of his days, but whose house and outbuildings sadly needed repairs and paint,
was seen by a lady, patching up a tumbledown gate. She said. ‘‘Mr. S„ why
do you take so much trouble over that old gate; why not get a while
new one
\ ou ate about it,’ "Oh.” answered the old man, shrugging his shoulders. "It’ill
last my time," That was all he oared for. Just so long as he could get through
life himself, in any kind of comfort, he did not care a tinkers d-" for anyone
else, not even his own individual posterity. This is an exact illustration of the
old motto of the standpat “mossback,"-What was good enough for my Dad is
good enough for me, and what is good enough for me is quite good enough for
everybody else. We don’t want your improvements? If we could get along with
ox-carts, and sand or clay roads, you should he able to do the same, instead of
throwing away money on paved highways, and automobiles, just because you
want to go a little faster and kick over the good old traces.
Sometimes the "mossback” keeps a store that he manages on rules that
might date back to the days of Noah. He usually takes his time opening it up
ot a morning, and may or may not develop enough energy to broom it out. Then
he lights his pipe and sits down to read in some "up-to-date?” paper, how Jim
Brown eat a whole pie at a Sunday School picnic. A customer comes in. but
is allowed to look about, until the proprietor has satisfied his eurosity
as
to the effect of the pie on Jim Brown stomach. Then he stands up. stretches
himself and coming lazily forward, greets the customer with “Waal, d'ye see
anything you want The party may make a purchase or he may not. If he
should do the first, there certainly remains but little inducement to call again.
Should a commercial traveler by chance hit his place and succeed in placing n
small order, it is usually for "the cheapest you've got." We dont want no new
tangled goods or styles in this town, what suits me must suit the rest of the
loiks. So the commercial agent takes his departure, and when he comes to
compare notes with his fellow travelers, which is usually the case—his advice
is, "dont go to such and such a place, unless you want to kill time; it is a
tegular old “mossback" town —no good; dynamite would hardly wake it up.
Go to the old "standpat" citizen for a subscription for a necessary improve¬
ment. such as a decent sidewalk, or paved street, or some such enterprise, and
do you think he will come across? No Sir. You are more than likely to meet
hot opposition—to him it is money thrown away, to do anything for the develop¬
ment of his town, much less his county. He has raked enough together to puli
him through life; why should he bother about other people, especially those
who desire to advance and do something to keep pace with the times. He is
like, and will no doubt meet the fate of him who never used his talent, hut hid it
in a napkin, and when the Master called, handed it over, just as he had re¬
ceived it. He forgets that the whole law of life, divine and human imposes
upon every man the duty of "playing the game.” In other words, that, no
matter what his position or his resources, whether the latter be money or
ability, he owes a duty to his race and posterity to help in the advancement of
the world—its enlightenment and betterment. If he knows anything that he
believes should benefit humanity, and keeps that to himself, he is a thief, for he
is retaining what should belong to the world as a whole, and if he with earthly
means at his command, hoards his money and lives for himself alone, under the
plea that he is not his brothers keeper, he. is no less a thief in the eyes of a
higher power, and is burying his talent. Yet while he may not fully realize it
this is the position of the average “mossback” citizen who keeps in the rut—
fights the advancement of the world and harps upon the principle that what
was good enough for the past, is sufficient for the present, and for all time to
come, forgetful of the fact that had those who thought with him in the past
been In the majority the world would have remained at a standstill and never
made any advancement at all.
What is true of the world at large is true of communities, it is true of our
fair city of Covington. We do noj like to put the facts so forcibly before our
people, but it must be stated that'* right here in our midst we have, to our
detriment, citizens, some of them (so called) business men, who want to live in
a rut. and even compel their neighbors to live in the same rut with them; they
have lived here and will die here and are hoping that this town will remain the
same in size and backwardness as when they were in their teens. Thy act like
“dumb driven cattle." (as the poet Longfellow' expressed it)—they refuse to
advance and "play the game.” What about the men w’ho desire to go forward—the
enterprising citizens. We have reason to believe they are largely in the majority,
but gentlemen, we have been asleep—that's all—we have slept at the switch, and
it is now about time to wake up when an important matter is before us that is
regarded by those who can see anything, as one of Covingtons greatest assets-
and that is the building of a good hard road to Porterdale. if this road cost
the city Ninety Thousand Dollars, which it would not, for the Government
would pay their half of what would be constructed beyond the city limits—it
would pay us to do it ten times over. Porterdale is only three miles away
and the mill there has a payroll of (we understand) $10,000 per week, and the
people there are of a class that spend their money for what they want. That
mill is starting up again and running full and over time, and the important
question now is, whether the trade from Porterdale means anything to Coving¬
ton merchants or not? .Why, there are many towns that would gladly bond for
money to purchase a site for such big mills as are in the vicinity of Covington,
and if any business man cannot see the benefit of these mills to the city, he has
but little sense to see anything. If the factory people were to do their trading
somew here else, which will certainly happen if we do not wake up and throw off
"mossback domination, then, hear the howl that will be raised and the attempt
to tear up this end of the earth?
While discussing this road to Porterdale we may well mention the Coving¬
ton Mills on the other side of this town, which has a pay roll of about $3,500.00
per week, which is a blessed thing for business Covington, and it is just as
necessary to have a paved road to that section as anywhere else. "There are
none so blind as those who won’t see.” and if this road work is started, and it
will l>e sooner or later, every business man who should oppose will be spotted
by the people of the Bibb Manufacturing Company at Porterdale and at the
Covington Mills and listed as having been indifferent as to whether these peo¬
ple traded with them or not and will be remembered accordingly—which will be
only just and right.
The majority of our citizens here want good roads, especially to these
mills. They want to advance to progress— to "Play the Game.” and do their
duty by the world. Are we then going to allow, some old mossback, skinflints
and unprogressives to keep our town down, or shall we put forth all effort for a
blgges, better Covington? It will be too long waiting for a few second class
funerals, which in course of time would clear the way for us —what we want
to do is to make a break right now, and shove this ancient class far to the rear,
where they belong. Let us wake up. and “PI,AY THE GAME.”

urge you to come.
