THE NEW SPRING
SHOES
We did not buy until
late on account of the
styles being unsettled; so
we can show the new
ones only.
Colonial pumps for la
dies, with the prettiest
heels you have seen. Pat-
tent leather is the big
leader in leathers this
season. Gun metal and
satin are good, too. Our
ladies’ shoes are made
by a new process, which
makes the soles unusual
ly flexible, insuring the
most comfortable wear.
See these new shoes.
You will like them.

Judge L. A. Perdue received from
the State Pension Commissioner yester
day a cheek for $12,580. this sum being
required to pay the old pensioners on
the rolls in this county. He was in
structed by the Pension Commissioner
to return to the State Treasury after
twenty days any pension money re
maining in his bunds unclaimed, and all
pensioners are therefore requested by
J udge Perdue to cull at once and got
their money. New pensioners, whoso
names were added to the rolls during
the past year, will have to wait until
the Legislature meets and makes an
appropriation to cover their claims, as
there will be no money in the Treasury
with which to pay them until the Gen
eral Assembly makes provision for their
payment.

take testimony in the H. T. Daniel in
voluntary bankruptcy case, now pend
ing in the bankruptcy court. Creditors
of the alleged bankrupt, a planter and
merchant of Palmetto, filed bankruptcy
proceedings against him with the clerk
of the Federal Court in Atlanta several
months ago. Later, Mr. Daniel asked
the court to dismiss the proceeding, and
in his petition asserted that his assets
were many times greater than his lia
bilities. The moving creditors filed ob
jections to the requested dismissal, and
Mr. Beera was named special examiner
to hear such evidence as both sides may

Newnan Ball-Players to Report Soon
Within the next throe weeks the
baseball boys will he in our midst, und
local fans are eagerly awaiting their
coming. Manager Sanders will report
for duty ApriI 1, and all applicants for
the 1914 team have been notified to re
port not later than April 15. Thirty-
one signed contracts are ori file at base
ball headquarters, and from this num
ber will be selected the team to repre
sent Newnun this season. Many old
faces will be missed from the line-up—
notably Howell, who 1ms been sold to
Charlotte, N. C., and Craven, who has
been sold to Petersburg, Va. These
two men were towers of strength to the
team last year, and their places will be
bard to fill; but the attractive prices
offered for both caused the local asso
ciation to dispose of them. They are
valuable men, and should eventually
get into faster company. Rico, anoth
er star performer of last season, is
studying law in Macon, and is undeci
ded about playing hall this year. Should
he conclude to do so, however, Newnan
has first call on his services, and he
will likely be seen in a local uniform.
Lovett, the brilliant pitcher of last sea
son, is at present unsigned, but indica
tions are that he will soon come to
terms, and, under the tutelage of Man
ager Sanders, he should lead the league
in pitching this year. Up to the pres
ent time only two men of laBt year’s
team —Griffin and IlawkinB — have
signed contracts, and both Bhould do
better this season. Hawkins writes
that he is in the pink of condition, and
ready and willing to do his level best
for old Newnan, while “Griff” says he
will show lots of the "old pep” this
Bummer.
Of the new men to be seen this year
several have had GIbbs D experience,
while a few have played college ball,
and others hold good umateur records.
The directors are making every effort
to put a winning team in the field, and
hope to get off to a good start early in
the season. The race th s year prom
ises to be a hummer, and, with the ad
dition of Rome and Selma, the league
will be greatly strengthened. ReportB
from every city in the circuit indicate
that much enthusiasm is bein^ mani
fested, and that each manager is doing
his utmost to surround himself with a
first-class team.
It will be of interest to the fans to
learn something of the history of
“War” Sanders, who will pilot New
nan this year. He is a veteran of the
game, though young in years, having
materially assisted Nashville in winning
two Southern League pennants in the
days of Newt Fisher, afterwards being
drafted by the St. Louis Nationals. He
played five years with Omaha, in the
western League, and lust year man
aged Middlesboro, in the Appalachian
League. He is highly recommended,
and the directors believe he will give a
good account of himself.
In the course of the next few days
the work of putting the grounds in
shape will be started, and when com
pleted Newnan will have a ball park
Becond to none in the league. Exten
sive grading will be done, and other
improvements are also under contem
plation.
The directors have adopted a new
policy this year in regard to paying the
transportation and board of the players
during the practice season, and will
save aeveral hundred dollars. Every
man is now required to pay his own ex
penses while training, with the under
standing that same will be refunded if
he makes good, and, as only twelve
men will be carried, others who fail to
show form will be eliminated, with no
charge on the association.
