GEORGIAN TRIES TO KILL
HIMSELF AT GREENVILLE
Greenville, S. C. —Despondent over
personal and financial troubles, Bur
ton S. Rowe, who claims Columbus,
Ga„ as his home, today attempted to
commit suicide by shooting himself
in the breast.
Walking to a closet in the rear of a
local pawnshop, he fired two shots, the
bullets perforating his left lung. He
admitted the act and asked for Divine
forgiveness.
/' Search of his person revealed a note
(directing that in case of accident, Mrs.
M. M. Rowe and Miss Vivian Hayes,
both of Columbus, be notified. He is
in a precarious condition at the City
Hospital.
UGH! A DOSE OF
NASTY CALOMEL
It salivates! Makes you sick
and you may lose a
day’s work.
You’re bilious, sluggish, constipated
and believe you need vile, dangerous
calomel to start your liver and clean
your bowels.
Here’s my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a 50 cent botle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone and take a spoon
ful tonight. If it doesn’t straighten
you right up better than calomel and
without griping or making you sick
I want you to go back to the store
and get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and nau
seated. Don’t lose a day’s work. Take
a spoonful of harmless, vegetable
Dodson's Liver Tone tonight and wake
up feeling great. It’s perfectly
harmless, so give it to your children
any time. It can’t salivate, so let
them eat anything afterwards.
THINK!

There Won’t Be Many New Cogs
In McGraw’s 1915 Giant Machine;
This Year’s Model To Be Intact
New York. —Those who are looking
for John McGraw to bust up the 1914
Giant machine and heave it into the
scrap heap are due for a disappoint
ment. John may do a little tinkering
here and there but when the Giant ma
chine of 1915 gets into motion there
won't be very many new cogs in its
makeup.
There are two reasons why the
Giants won t be reassembled entirely.
One is that McGraw feels that his 1914
outfit is good enough to grab a pen
nant if a few weak cogs are removed
and some new ones substituted. The
other reason is that the most of the
1914 regulars are hooked up by iron
clad three-year contracts.
McGraw couldn't put his old stars on
the market and get value reecived for
them. He couldn’t offer them for sale
and find many ready buyers because
those who are in the market for play
ers don't w r ant to pay a fancy price for
the men and also pay fancy salaries to
the players for the 1915 and 1910 sea
son as would be the case if they
bonght some of the Giants.
Pitching Staff.
The Giants pitching staff in 1915
won’t look much different than it did
in 1914. Mathewson. Tesreau, Mar
quard and Demaree are attached to
the club by contracts that still have
two years to run. McGraw wouldn’t
let Tesreau or Matty go no matter
what offer was made. We will keep
Demaree because “Steamer Al” looks
like a real pitcher and he will keep
Marquard unless some other chib
makes him a most tempting offer for
the eccentric left-hander.
Contrary to the general belief, Mc-
Graw isn’t anxious to let Marquard go.
He figures that 1914 wms “Rube’s’’ off
year. He recalls the fact that nearly
a dozen of the games that “Rube” lost
was not through any real fault of
“Rube's” but because the Giants’ time
and again failed to hit behind him. A
half dozen of “Rube's” defeats were 1
to 0 or 2 to 1 affairs.
"When a pitcher losses games of
that kind it doesn’t reflect on his ability
—it reflects on the lack of batting
power behind him,” declared McGraw.
Fans, "Canned.”
Ever since the middle of July the
rank and file of fans have been "can
ning" Merkle. the Giant’s first sack
er. Firing Merkle seems to be one
of the annual ways the fans have of
entertaining themselves, but unless
McGraw finds some star of the first
water among his first basing recruits
next spring Merkle will be back at his
old station. McGraw thinks a lot of
Merkle's ability.
Doyle will be back at second next
year. He slumped badly this year,
both in fielding and hitting, but Doyle
normally is a steady fielder and a
slugger. Probably he will do a come
back in 1915.
Fletcher will be at short again. Out
side of Maranvllle of the Braves, there
is no better fielding shorstop in the
National League. Fletcher is a time
ly hitter and fast on the paths. Mc-
Graw regards him as one of the most
valuable players he ever had.
A stranger may be stationed at
third when the 1915 season opens.
Stock, the 1914 regular, is a good
fielder but weak with the stick. Ed
die Grant, the alternate, is going back
and cannot be looked upon to hold
down the Job in regular fashion. Mc-
Graw has a number of recruits who
are candidates for the job, but he
wants to get a seasoned player and
may put through some trade this win

ter that may land a third sacker for
him.
Little Worry.
The outfield will cause but little
worry. Burns will be back in left—
that’s certain. Snodgrass most likely
will be in center. For the right field
job. McGraw can make his choice front
a flock of recruits, in addition to
Robertson, Thorpe, Murray and Besch
er. Murray and Bescher are nearly
through as big leaguers, but may show
a reversal of form next spring that will
entitle them to Jobs.
Behind the bat, Meyers, McLean and
Smith, will do the bulk of the work.
Meyers had a bad year, but McGraw
doesn't think the Indian is all in—he
thinks that he simply slumped and
will come back, McLean is steady
and reliable. Smith, a youngster
brought up from the Southern League,
showed great style during the last few
games of the season and may blossom
into one of the best, catchers in the
league.
McGraw has about 15 young pltch
ers—and some old ones—to chose from
to select the quarter of twirlers who
will act as “second string" men to
Matty, Tesreau, Demaree and Mar
quard.
So, John, despite reports to the con
trary, isn’t worrying much about 1915.

Marie, the beautiful Nihilist, and her
lover.

“FINE FEATHERS."
“Fin* Feathers" which delighted a
capacity audience In Augusta last sea
sen, will again be seen at the Grand
tonight. Eugene Walter's play which
has been declared hy critics all over
the American map to be one of the
best plays ever written by an Ameri
can dramatist, will have an entirely
different cast for this engagement,
being composed of the principal mem
bers that appeared in the play during
Its phenomenal run at the Cort Thea
ter, Chicago, and a number of the
players' reputations having also
been won In other notable offerings,
among them being Merlse Naughton,
formerly leading woman with J. K.
Haokett and ICyrfa Bellew. Allen
Lalbler, the original “Man from Mis
sissippi." Robert E. Lee Hill, for two
seasons with Blanch Walsh in "The
Test, Thurlow White, who created a
sensation in “The Man rom Home."
Maggie Maxwell, of “Madam Sherry"
fame, and E. Agnes Elliott, formerly
of Henry W. Savage's forces, and a
great hit in “The Butterfly on the
Wheel."
In “Fine Feathers" the playwright
I*as struck out along new channels.
In his story the sex problem does not
obtrude Itself, not even by sugges
tion. There are no lovers except the
husband and wife, and their love Is of
the human, every-day sort, which
stumbles over the small things as well
as the big things of life, and far re
moved from the perfect romance and
exstatic bliss of the erstwhile drama
But the most significant feature of
this play, In so far as It marks a new
departure In playwriting, lies In the
author's treatment of the leading fem
inine* role. Hers la not one of love
making. She Is neither lover or be.
loved. She Is Just a woman—the sort
one encounters every day, with her
faults and frailties, and her great
strength In the hour of need. It Is a
sure sign of the times. A generation
•go, a woman's only place was the
home and the fireside- her only mis
sion to love and be loved- nad thus
•he was pictured on the stage.
In "Fine Feathers” Eugene Walter
employs human beings for his char
acters—they err and are punished.

WHITE MOTOR TRUCKS
Are the Nation’s Choice
BOTH IN THE QUANTITY OF TRUCKS SOLD AND
IN THE VALUE OF TRUCK SALES, WE ARE
THE LARGEST MANUFACTURERS OF COMMER
CIAL MOTOR VEHICLES IN AMERICA
Official Records of the Motor Truck Industry Verify This Statement
This Leadership of the Truck Industry is of the utmost import
ance, both to the many who already own White Trucks, and to
the many others who will eventually purchase White Trucks.
TO THE OWNERS OF
WHITE TRUCKS
THIS LEADERSHIP proves the
correctness of your judgment in
selecting your motor truck
equipment.
It shows that you have chosen
the same motor truck that the
majority of truck users in America
have selected.
In practically every case, this selection
has been the result of a process of rigid
experimentation and elimination, in which
White Trucks have proved their superiority
over all others.
This preference for White Trucks by the
largest users of motor trucks as well as by
the majority of motor truck users guarantees
that your investment is protected by a suc
cessful, well established manufacturer,
having a superior organization for rendering
Eermanent and efficient service during the
ie-time of the trucks.
WHITE TRUCKS ARE MOST ECONOMICAL TO OWN
That White Trucks are slightly higher in price, makes White leadership in the truck
industry even more complete. It is plain evidence that White construction is so
superior that the higher first cost of a White Truck is economy in the long run—
proof that White Trucks last longer ami cost less to operate and maintain, making
them the most economical trucks to own.
White Trucks are built in capacities of %, 1*4,3 and 5 tom
