he has just written to his handsome
young son, Geddings, who is now
studying overtime at>Belmont Abbey,
Belmont, N. C. He wishes it published
as a kind of form for other fathers
to use in writing to sons who are
away at school, suggesting also that
if we ever get up a form book on
letter writing that he would like for
this to go in it. He thinks also that
the letter may lend inspiration to
other students who happen to be
away at school at this time, as it will
show the possibilities that await the
youth of the land, if they will only
get down to hard work. Here is the
way the Colonel puts it:
Abbeville, S. C., Oct. 5, 1919.
Dear Geddings,?I am taking this
beautiful Sunday morning to write
you a few lines and to lend you some
advice, which my great number of
years enables me to furnish you without
any undue effort. I think of you
so much daily, and dream about your
possibilities in life so much at night,
that I cannot refrain, in the very beginning
from imploring you to use
every opportunity to improve your
mind, and to prepare for the things
which come after. Of course every
father looks forward to something
worth-while which he hopes may happen
to his son. I have been thinking
since you went away how grand
i thing it would be if the short time
pou are away at school you might so
improve your opportunities as to be
ible upon your return to enter the
Sreenville Street Setback College,
md there pursue your studies under
rach eminent teachers as Professors
Stark, Kerr, and a few others, so
that in after life you would always
be prepared to play a first class game
in any company where you happened
to be, and that you would be taught
so well in the rudiments of the
game, as well as all the variations,
as to know that it pays to bid on an
ace, and that it never pays to throw
away an ace to bid on the deuce, ten
and jack. As bright as I am I did
not learn this for some time, but I
have about come to the conclusion
that it pays to follow all the regular
rules of life and setback, especially
on Greenville Street. If I might
hope that some day you would be as
great a player as Professor Kerr
thinks he is, I would know that your
education was complete from a setback
standpoint. So let me urge you
to improve your great opportunities,
remembering always what awaits
you, if you are diligent, and keep
your eye on the rail.
But I suppose you are interested in
what I am doing. I have been very
busy picking cotton during the day.
Have only stopped one time and that
was to go to town to get a half gallon
of kerosene to make a light at
night so I could try out some setback
hands and get ready for a big
game I had scheduled out at Bob
Hunter's, where I went last Wednesday
night. We would have played
that night on Greenville street, but
that crowd up there has to be prayed
for two or three times a week in order
to keep straight, and as Prof.
Kerr's pastor had been away for a
month he was needing it badly, so
as stated I scheduled a game out at
Bob Hunter's.
Well, you will be surprised to
know it, but old man Sondley, the
old gentleman you will remember to
have seen riding around town, who
lives on Magazine street, actually
won a game. I chose Bob for my|
partner, and I thought it would be a
walk-over, but when old man Sondley
got out in the country from under
police protection, he threw the
cramp into hich frnYn fVip vonr sfnrf
It looked like Mt. Calvary was on
fire everytime he drew back to make
a pitch. You may think that these
Cincinnati and Chicago baseball
pitchers know how to pitch but if
Cicotte and Reuther and the rest of
them could see Mr. Sondley pitch setback
in the country they would cry
can-rope, "great-Dans- of blue-j
mud," and several other quaint but^
true sayings.
There is only one trouble with Mr. i
Sondley about winning a game of|
setback. He wants to tell everybody]

about it, and them he cannot see, he o
sends word to. I would not ibe sur- e
prised to find the game we played .
the other night posted on the court
house door, in fact I looked for it.
Bob Hunter is thinking that he will
try to have the game recorded in the ''
Clerk's office as he says he heard the
old man arguing with Col. Thomas tj
f. rnomson on tne question 01 whether
a setback game was a Mesne h
conveyance, and Mr. Thomson finally r
agreed that it was. 0
Well, I hear Jack Perrin tooting "
his horn out in front of the house, 11
and I guess he wants to go out to P
old marf Gilliam's to talk about a c
barbecue, so I had better be going. S(
Good-bye, and keep studying. n
Your Father, s'
Patrick Roche.
P. S.?Since inditing the above, I 0
had another set-to with old nan ^
Sondley. Col. Wade Cothran, who n
was the president of Cochran's a
Branch Academy before his eye-sight r
went back on him, on account of
eld age only, called in to see me han- I
u!c the situation, which I did in spite I
cf my partner, Bob Hunter. The bost I
DOD COU1U UU was l/U X1U1U UVC UUIlip
everytime I did the bidding Well,
Col. Cothran was so pleased with my
pitching that he made a short speech
al the end of the game in whicn he
