Complaints frequently reach The Herald office that the city’H numerous automobile ordinances are daily and hourly violated, and that, so far as hap less pedestrians are concerned, no effor t is made to enforce them. The speed ordinance is really a joke. Automobiles continue to dash along the streets in t he business part of town at 20 to 30 miles an hour, und siinilur recklessness is displayed in rounding corners from one street into another, while at inter secting points no safeguariis whatever are employed to prevent collisions.

The “Glorious Fourth of July,” which falls on Sunday this year, will be fittingly observed next Monday when Newnan and LaGrange cross hats in two games of ball. The first game will he played in LaGrange Monday morn ing at 9:45 o’clock, and the second game will be played at Newnan at 4 p. m., Monday. This arrangement will give the fans an opportunily of seeing both games, as they can go down to LaGrunge on train No. 35 Monday morning and return on t.jain No. 40, which leaves LaGrange at 11:50 a. m. On the result of these games will de pend in a large measure Newnan’s chances for the pennant, and it be hooves us to stimulate and encourage the team by a large attendance and vociferous rooting. You can celebrate the national holiday by attending both games. The low railroad rate from Newnan to LaGrange and return und the convenient schedules make it possi ble for us to see the games; and re member that Newnan iH counting on your presence. If Griffin can charter a special train to see their second division team in action, surely we can send a representative gathering to LaGrange next Monday morning, and be on hand at Lee Park at 4 o’clock in the after noon. Don’t you think, gentle reader, that the team is entitled to your pat ronage this year? Bear in mind this fact: Harry Matthews is the first real manager that Newnan has ever had, and the old boy has put his heart, soul and bedy into the game. He is for New nan first, last and forever, and his one aim is to give the fans a pennant. He has won more than one game thin year by his generalship, and the baseball public should rise up and call him blessed. He has developed our pitching staff, and materially put Newnan on the map by his handling of the slants of Nabors. He has likewise developed young Terry, and the latter’s no-hit game in Anniston last Wednesday is due to the coaching of Matthews. Re member this, ye faithful: Newnan has only lost two home series this season, and both losses were due to the fact that Matthews was trying out home products in the pitching department. Iri conclusion, the writer has but this to Bay: The more you see of the genial and good-natured Harry Mat thews the better you will like him; and if you haven’t seen much of him this year, Monday, July 5, will be a fine time to see him in action, when he will be leading his huskies to victory. The series now being played with Rome is a crucial one. John R.
