Every Game Played Last
Week, is Now Tied for First
Place.
Savannah, Ga. —Charleston, by a
spectacular spurt In which she won
every game played last week, Is now

did well, winning four of her six
games, but was not quite sttong
enough to hold the fast pace being set
by the Sea Gulls. The season will
close on August 29th, and this week
will see one of the closest finishes
ever staged in the league with Al
bany, Charleston and Columbus as
the prinicpal contenders for the sec
ond season pennant. The winner will
meet Savannah, which won the first
season pennant, in a seven-game se
ries which will decide the champion
ship for 1915.

astrous week, the former winning only
cne game out of six and the latter one
out of four. Savannah won three out
of five and Jacksonville two out of
six. Macon and Columbus split even
for the week, each winning three out
of six games.

Birmingham Took Lead Dur
ing the Week Just Past---
Can’t Dope Out Winners as
Yet.
Atlanta,Ga.—Birmingham took the
lead over New Orleans In the South
ern. Association during the week just
closed, although it retains front rank
by a percentage margin of less than
four points. Other clubs did not shift
positions. Not counting today’s
games, Birmingham won 4, lost 3 and
tied 1, while the Pelicans had an even
break, winning 4 and losing 4. Mobile,
long in the lead, remained in third
place, with a record of four victories
and five defeats. Atlanta, in fourth,
showed better form, having won 5,
lost 2 and tied 1. The Crackers went
into battle today five games behind
the leaders.
It cannot he said that any club has
a decided advantage over others, for
all, with the exception of the ail
enders, comparatively are closely
bunched. Great rivalry has been
aroused throughout the circuit as the
end of the season approaches, al
though enough games are to be play
ed to make possible new alignment.
Even Nashville and Chattanooga, in
the second division, would be within
striking distance with a little more
than an even break, provided no team
from now on should make a run-away
race of It, a situation whic hit not re
garded as probable.

The Fight Was Really Against Slaton.
To The Herald.
Sir:—lt is amusing to see the Sla
ton press claim a convention victory
for their candidate after his decisive
popular defeat. Tht race was Slaton
against the field and the field defeat
ed Slaton something like 3 to 1. Slaton
juggled with the U. S. senatorship,
turning down all candidates for the
appointment to the unexpired term
who might stand in his way. The
game was set for Slaton to run. He
ran, clearing the way of ail possibly
candidates on his side of the political
fence who might get In his way. But
something like 100,000 popular votes
throughout the state got in his way.
They voted against Slaton, the candi
date who was running in every county,
whether they voted for Felder, Hard
wick, Cooper or Hutchens. You can’t
get around this fact. Give us a sec
ond primary between the two highest
and let the people of the state rathet
than the convenion politicians decide
this fight. Thgre is no doubt of tho
outcome. VOTER.
One Way to Stop Vote Buying In
Augusta.
To The Herald.
Sir:—Mr. Middleton calls attention
to the buying and selling of votes In
this community. Here's one way to
stop It.
1. Abolish the criminal statute mak
ing It a crime to accept a bribe.
2. Double the penalty for the man
who offers to buy a vote, or to at
tempt to bribe a voter.
3. Abolish the law relating to the
confidential relations between lawyer
and client where the crime of bribery
or vote buying Is concerned.
If this Is done we won’t see so
many lawyers and their corporation
clients active in politics, for the usual
vote seller, when he Is protected In
this way, will make life a burden by
blackmailing the vote buyer and If he
refuses to continue to cough up, can
testify agalnßt him. Under such a
law, we can get plenty of evidence
against the men higher-up—those who
■continually furnish the money to de
bauch our elections.
ONE WAY OUT.
To The Herald.
■ Sir:—There will be few to question
the correctness of the statement of
Mr. Middleton that Augusta’s greatest
need Is honest elections. This Is true
of many other cities and many other
counties.
He Is also right In pointing out that
the men, prominent citizens and cor
porations, who furnish the funds to
debauch the voters are largely re
sponsible.
One way to defeat the use of money,
whiskey and ward heelers In elections
Is to give the women suffrage. Out
men seem to be unable to cope with
these forces for evil. Give the women
the vote. They handle and rout them.
SUFFRAGE.
One Election that Wasn’t Counted Out.
To The Herald.
Augusta has had tome experience lit
the matter of counting votes In vari
ous elections. There seems to be a
widespread Impression that votes are
not only bought on certeln occasions,
but are counted wrong when occa
sion demands or opportunity offers.
Why not have a notary publlo at
each one of the polls and allow voters
after voting to make affidavit. Imme
diately as to how they voted. This
affidavit to be used as evidence of
fraud In case the count reveals less
votes than the affidavits call for.
FOR A FAIR COUNT.
Htrdwlck Would Defeat Blaton In a
Becond Primary.
To The Herald.
Sir;—The most conclusive enawer
to the claims of Slaton Is found In the
fact that a candidate claiming to run
In every county got about one-third
of the total vote* cast. It undoubt
edly was the Idea of the Slaton man
agers to make his popular vote as
large as possible else efforts to stimu
late the Slaton vote In counties in
which he had no chance to win would
not have been indulged in,
There's no doubt but that In a sec
ond primary, one between the two
highest, Hardwlok and Slaton, Hard
wick would overwhelmingly defeat

Boy Soouts Polite and Courteoua.
To The Herald.
Sir:—A Boy Scout Is courteous. He
Is polite to all, especially to women,
children, old people and the weak and
helplesß. The point I am getting at
Is that when a Boy Scout sees a wom
an, young or old, carrying a valise of
any heavy object, he offers to carry
it for her. Some people think they
have to pay the scout, but they do
not. In our scout law It says that a
scout may work for money but must
not receive money for being helpful
and courteous. We take an oath to
obey the, law, so persons do not have
to pay scouts for carrying a vallße or
anything like that.

The Woman Question.
To The Herald.
Sir:—l have heard many men ex
press their opinions In regard to con
trolling a wife. I recently heard «
divorce lawyer say that a man should
be a woman’s absolute master from
the start. A woman without a mas
ter, he said. Is like a ship without u
rudder.
Others say to give her all the mon
ey Hhe wants. Then all Irregularities
that you may possibly have will pass
as little eccentricities. Others say to
be kind, true, affertlnnato companions
and not to crush the wife's personality.
Let her be free and gnect her on an

Indifference is the keynote and that
you should keep her guessing nil the
