tliat his third baseman had been “laying

dall of the Gadsden club almost came to
i blows with Guitterez in front of the Elm

i ager Randall has indefinitely suspended
Guitterez. The Elks' grandstand is just
opposite third base on the LaGrange
grounds, and tlie third baseman of the
visiting teams gets all the “ragging." As
a result evc^ry third baseman who has
(•'•me to LaGrange has made numerous er
rors. and this is I lie second third baseman
to be suspended or released in LaGrange.
The fans here attribute it not to the play

rattled.

74 one-eighth acre lots were sold to the
highest bidder in the space of three hours.
The property was the Exton addition to
Hurtsboro. and war* the property of (’apt.

was about $140 or $862 per acre, the total

TALKS ON THRIFT
AMBITIOUS YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN
‘‘A young man may have manv friends, i
but he will find none so steadfast, so eon- !
stant. so ready to respond to his wants,
so capable of pushing him ahead as a lit
tle leather covered book with the name
of a bank on its cover.”-Sir Thomas
Lapton.
If there is any one thing more than an
other that successful men strive to im
press upon the minds of ambitious l>egin
ners as a necessary element of success, it
is systematic saving. The view's of Sir
Thomas fdpt.on expressed above and those
of Marshall Field in the next paragraph
are typical of an overwhelming amount of
similar testimony and advice from the
lips of so-called self made men. The great
Chicago merchant said:
“If you want to succeed, save. This Is
true, not so much because of the value
o* the money which the young man w’ho
saves accumulates, but bocause of the in
finitely greater value of the system and
organization which the practice of saving
introduces into his life. This result of the
saving habit is not generally nor prop
erly ai>T>reciated. I consider it to be al
most the greatest element in making for
a young man s success. In the first place
it creates determination. This at the j
start. Then It develops steady purpose;
then sustained energy. Soon it produces i
alert, discriminating Intelligence. These
all rapidly grow into an ability that en
ables him to take the money he has ac
cumulated (even though small in amount)
and employ it with profit. Better and
better returns follow up his industry,
ability and judgment and to his capital
now steadily increasing. Soon he is se
cure—and that comparatively early in life;
and each day widens the* gulf between
'him and incompetence and its invariable
companion, improvidence. This is tin* real
framework of the structure of success,
a,acti oi its supports, it will invariably
be found, rests upon a foundation stone
of an early dollar saved.”
There is a distinct moral and mental
value In the practice of sensible economy.
A college president puts it this way:
“There is no greater steadying influ
ence for young men than i growing ac
count in some good bank. There* is a
sense of proprietorship and responsibility
in buying a certificate of deposit, while
a savings pass book is an anchor to hold
a boy steady in the shoal waters.”
The same idea is expressed in the Man
ual of the Boy Scouts of America, in this
way:
“A scout is thrifty. He does not wan
tonly destroy property, il” works faith
fully, wastes nothing, and makes the best
use of his opportunities. He saves his
money so that ho may pay his own way.
be generous to those in need, and helpful
to worthy objects.”
One of the most important things young
people can learn Is the value of money,
and one of the best ways to do It is to |
save money systematically and to deposit j
it regularly In a strong, interest paying
bank.
It is a splendid preparation for business,
too. The boy who early become® familiar
with banks and the earning power of
money will have a distinct advantage
when he starts on his business career.
The viewpoint of the employer on rids
subject is illustrated by these words of
a prominent manufacturer:
"The best men working in our shops
today are tiie men.who arc saving money
regularly. The steadiness of purpose and
ambition thus displayed is apparent in
their work. They are the men to whom
advancements and promotions most, fre
quently come and they are the
last to be laid off when times are dull.”

CAN B. R., L. AND P. CO.
BUY ITS POWER?
City Commissioner Weatherly Is In
vestigating the Question—Has
Found Nothing Against It
Reports have been heard witIMn the
last few clays to the effect that by
the terms of the franchise of the Bir
mingham Railway, Light and Power
company to operate in this city that '
company cannot use the current of
the Alabama Interstate Power com
pany. City Commissioner Weatherly
stated yesterday he had been looking
into this very phase of the proposition,
but that he so far had failed to find
I any such provision.
“As a matter of fact," said Mr.
Weatherly, ‘I can speak of the matter
only offhand, for I have not had time
( to examine it carefully. As far as I
know, however, there is no provision
prohibiting the Birmingham Kailway,
Light and Power company from uslnfe
the current of the Alabama Interstate
Power company, and in turn selling
this same current to the ultimate con
sumer for power and light purposes.”
Some people are prophesying that the
franchise being asked for by Mr. Dew
berry of the Tidewater company, is
for the Alabama Interstate Power com
pany. There Is no basis of fact about
the prophesy, however. Things have
been very dull about the city ball the
last few days and people have to
prophesy something.
