Pelham Defeats Camilla in Score of 5 to 2. Iu~bne odtftt? ball games ever played on the lo¬ cal diamond Wednesday afternoon Pelham defeated Camilla in a score of 5 to 2. It was a clean game skillfully contested and was intense in its interest from the start. Up to the seventh inning not a score was made and it began to look like a professional game. Then Ewart Twitty made a spectacular run and the local rooters went wild. In the eighth inning Camilla scored two and Pelham again passed a man over the home plate which left a tie to contest over in the ninth. The visiting team failed to score in the ninth/and tension was at the highest when the local team went to the bat. One was down and three on j ' bases when Judson Twittv sent a long fly safely into left field and . brought three men home. Then things went wild. , | The batteries for both teams I were strong and did fine work. • They were Stewart and Mize for Pelham and Turner and Harts field for Camilla. i I _______ Pelham Telephone Re= turns Thanks to its Patrons.

Yours very truly, W. N. Drake, G. M. PELHAM, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, Squire Holloway Imposes on the Joe Brown Slogan. When “Squire” Holloway, a dark hued citizen who has pre¬ viously seen the inside of prison walls, was arraigned before Jus¬ tice H. B. Tucker just after elec¬ tion on the charge of stealing a sack of meal, he imposed some¬ what on the election slogan, “Brown and Bread.” “Squire” was charged with hav¬ ing taken a sack of meal from the grist mill of G. W. Kornegay and the goods having been found in his possession he admitted the theft. But he put up an interesting de¬ fense that to some of the enthusi¬ asts is considered worthy of seri¬ ous consideration. When Justice Tucker Vith his usual grave dig¬ nity demanded of the prisoner that he stand up and answer ‘ ‘gu i 1 ty ’ ‘ t -unity’ ’'the ac ~rose and answered, “F m guilty, yer honor. But I heerd every body talking ’bout Brown and Bread, and Brown was ’leer¬ ed, and I wanted some bread and I thought it was alright to take dis meal.” This seemed to be satisfactory to the darkey and he sat down sure of his dismissal from custody* Justice Tucker, however, after suggesting that a loyal Joe Brown supporter might hail him out com¬ mitted him for appearance before the City Court of Pelham and as¬ sessed his bond at one hundred dollars.

The task of counting out the votes in Pelham hay become so burdensome when there are a num¬ ber of candidates to be voted for in an election that it is becoming hard to get some one to help hold the election.
