making an average of more than 74
miles an hour In thn Grande. Prlx.
■ays that the nearest approach to that
time ever to be made In this country
will be on tho Hsvsnnah course.
Tho great rivalry between the foreign
drivers nnd the Americana, largely
hocauxe an American car won the
Vanderbilt cup, Is going to mnke the
pace of tho Grand Prise terrific. Na
turally there Is a strong rivalry be
tween the several foreign teams us It

who won the "fork car races her* In
March, the llrlafcllff and several small

they admire him personally.
It In generally «-«nredod among the
drivers that the winner of the Grand .
Ill have to average better thnn .
70 mile" Mil hour and on several J
stretches It will be necessary to make,
loo every lap. One of these stretches'
Is In front of the *ts:id*tand where!

Hrveral stops will probably he made
bv each car. They will need water,
oil gasoline and doubtleaa new tires,
all of which will be supplied from
pits built right In front of the grand
stand. This will he an Interesting fea
ture. The driver of mechanician will
not t.e allowed to touch their car while
at these pits and as tlcy are In full
view of 18 008 people It will be a uni
que sight to nee the helpers work. The
gasoline tank and radiator can be Ail

been arranged so that tha great crowds
who will be on the grandstand early

The preliminaries for thla race will
bn different from probably any other
than a great auto race. The cars will
not be tried out before the start—that
will have all been done befhre—hut
they will come out after mechanic*

PLAYERS IRE SIGNED |
FOR SEASON OF 1909
The annual meeting of th* directors
of the South Atlantic League will ba
I held In Savannah In January. At thla
1 time will occur the election of officer*
and It ta thought likely that CharJe#
W. Boyer will ba deposed, his suc-
I cessor being Mr. W. A. Jones, of
Jacksonville. The latter Is assured of
the votes of Macon. Jacksonville and
Chattanooga, and 1* favorably regard
cd by Columbia. Augusta and Colum-
bus, the former especially. R'a hard
to see how Boyer can be elected.
When the first annual meeting of
the sporting writers of the South At
lantic League la held In Savannah ItV
January, the following papers will be
represented: Macon Telegraph. New*:
Jacksonville, Times-Union. Metropolis;
Charleston. Nltri and Courier. Post;
Columbia, State, Record; Augusta,
Herald. Chronicle; Savannah. Morning
News, Tress; Columbus. Enquirer-
Sun. Ledger; Chattanooga. TJi
News. Star.
There will be at least twenty-five
newspaper men in attendance. They
will organise the South Atlantic Sport
ing Editors’ Association, will adopt uni.
form scoring rules, elect officers and
generally make themselves known.
Lewis and Wohlleben are scouting
throughout the west for material for
the Macon club. Lewis haa already
secured a star outfielder from th* Chi
cago city league.
Savannah signed Hank Mathewson,
a brother of the famous Christy. He
| was with the New York Glanta for
Macon and Columbia.
The South Atlantic will be an alto
•»ther different league next season
from what It has been. In the first
place, there will be eight clubs Instead
of six; the salary limit will be 31.730,
i tha " ha# ever been before; the

as they will stick with their new
berths, especially the latter two.
Anyway, the Macon management arc
right up with the rest, and are in Just
aa much readiness for the opening of
the season as any-of tha other clubs.
And when the hike birds begin to

CURED OP CATARRH.
Dear fifrsr-At toe «re of fire jw« I contracted a bad
com of Catarrh. It began with a profuM watery discharge
from my seas. The nutter falling Into my throat kept me
constantly hawking and ejdttiag, and my breath, too. was

During the warm Summer months Catarrh sufferers are not
troubled with the effects of the disease, as in Winter. This is true be
cause in the heated season every pore and outlet of the skin is
open, and a constant, copious evaporation carries off with it a large
percentage of the impurities and poisons which produce Catarrh. But
at the first sign of cooler weather the sufferer’s comfort ends ; the skin
does not secrete as freely, a congested condition of the system takes
place, and soon every
miserable symptom of
Catarrh is harassing
and causing discomfort
to the unfortunate
ones.
Catarrh is a deep-
seated blood disease,
onewhichnoamountof
local treatment will ever
reach and permanently
cure. The beneficial
effects of washes,
sprays, inhalations, lo
tions, etc., are 1 only
temporary, and when
left off the old condi
tion returns because
the blood is infected
with catarrhal matter
and impurities. This
inflames and irritates
the mucous membrane
and tissues and pro
duces the symptoms of
ringing noises in the
head and ears, mucus
in the throat, head
aches, watery eyes,
partial deafness; sore
throat, general impair
ment of the health, etc.
To cure Catarrh
permanently the blood
must be purified, and
the system cleansed of
all morbid matters, and
at the same time strengthened and built up. Nothing equals S. S. S-
for this purpoa:. It attacks the disease at its head, goes down to the
S bottom of the trouble in the blood, and makes a permanent and
lg cure. S. S. S. removes every particle of the catarrhal matter
from the circulation, making this vital fluid pure, fresh and healthy.
Then the inflamed membranes begin to heal, because they are nourished

FROM THE DEVIL’S NOTE-BOOK.
While traveling through Texas i
- Hhort time ago W. E. Gorman stop
ped off at Victoria, and to.his arnaxe-
ment found there, buried in one of tho
music stores (Hanschlld & Co.) un old-
fashioned pipe organ, one that has a
history of Interest to every loyal
American. The organ, it seems, came
from an old Episcopal church at Go
liad. Texas, and had been accepted in
trade by the firm when the church
bought a new organ.
Goliad Is a small town In the south-
rrn part <rf Texas near the Mexican
border, whose history Is the history of
the Texas Republic.
It was at this same church, listen
ing to the strains of the organ, that
a body of Texans were surrounded,
who were given the alternative of sur
rendering or of having the church
brought down over their heads. Their
surrender under conditions of parole,
and the subsequent treachery of the
Mexican troops, when the Texans were
lined up and shot, was afterwards
made one of the most potent battle
cries of the republic: "Remember Go
liad." and "The Alamo" Is a never-to-
be-forgotten cry In Texas.
When Gorman learned the history
of the organ that was hid among a
pile of rubbish tn the store room of
the music store, he Immediately open
ed negotiations for Its purchase and
bought It.
The/organ will ba one of the big
exhibits of the forthcoming produc
tion of "Faust.” which he Is sending
on tour the present season with Rosa
bel Morrison as Marguerite and Joseph
Callahan as Mephisto., They will play
