Speaks to Large number Mer-'heme: "Be a Man." The folloTving is from the Augusta }rpieof yesterday: . - * The service for men at the building of the Y. M. C. A. yesterday at 3.30 o'clock p. mn., was an unusual one in -ppint if interest and attendance. The Assembly Hall was filled with men and the interest was marked. *After the wide ~dwake service of song, the Amnphion Male Quairtette rendered in ,a .very harmonious man nar two sweet selections. The speak er, Prof Roy Z. Thomas, of Newberry college, was then introduced and his adrTess on the -snbject, "Be a Man" was one of the strongest and best ever heard in the Association building. It was realliy a cl>se talk to the hearts of the men, and there were noticeable indications -of deep impressions, which were evidenced 'by many requests for CHAMBER Or COMMERCE. Will Hold Annual Meeting Tonight Election of Officers-Other Mat ters of Importance. The chamber of commerce will meet tonight. Tuesday, at eight o'clock in the rooms of the chamber of com merce. The regular meeting was to have been held about ten days ago but in order to avoid a conflict with other meetings it was postponed until last Friday night. Instead of avoiding any other conventions, however, it seems that there were more meetings scheduled for last Friday than any other night in a long while, and, therefore, there was only a small at tendance at the meeting called for the chamber of commerce. This being -the annual meeting and the time for the election of officers it is very much desired that every mem bei- of the body shal1 be present. In addition to the election of offi cers there are several matters pertain ing to the community as well as to the activity of t.he chamber of commerce which need attention. The prospect of securing the C., C. & 0. railroad via Newberry was talk ed over in an iqformal way on Friday evening by those members who were present and it is desired to take up that question among others at the meeting tonight. Every member of the body should be present tonight and those who are not members should become members before tonight so that they may also have a part in the election of officers, an-d the other matters pertaining to the welfare of this community. We need here more than anything else concert of action on the part oi the business men. T.he only way to -ecure this is by uniting in an organ ization similar to the chamber of commeree and then working for the advancement of .the best interest of the city. THE COURT HOUSE GROUNDS.

A Charlotte-ville dispatch to thle Richmond Times-Dispatch gives an acount of a base ball game between the University of Virginia and Wil liam and Mary, in which Harvey Cabaniss, of Newberry, -who played star ball on the Newberry college team while he was at college, here, was the star player for Virginia. The dispatch is as follows: Chairlottesville, Va., March 25. On a muddy diamond, and with the wind blowing a gale, Virginia, defeat ed William and Mary college today 13 -to 0. The cold kept down the attend ance, less -than 200 being present. With the exception of the third i ning, the contest was a very clean one. In that period the Williamsburg players went to pieces, Virginia scor ing ;a total of eleven runs on three hits' With tihe 'bases full, Allison al lowed Cabaniss's hot liner to get away from him, two scoring on the error. More errors followed., which had a 'bad effect on the visiting twirl er, Lewis, who be-came unsteady and liberal with ;his passes. Whitmer was in the box for Vir inia. and showed that he is a cold weather viitcher. He allowed but tihree hits, and did not issue a single pass. With the wind at his back his spitball proved very effective. .Cabaniss, -the star batsman on last year's varsity team, who has been kept out of the game on account of a sprained ankle, made his initial ap pearance at his old position in right field. He got -the only extra base hit of the game and created much en -thusiasm in the sixth inning by steal ing 'home while the opposing twirler was winding up. He showed that he has a strong arm by throwing John son out at first in the fonrth inninz. robbing the Williamsburg third base man of an apparently safe hit. Captain Hoff, who led in the bat ting, gave way in the sixth inning to Piekford, the Washington boy. Pear son again put. up a star game at back s:op. Blskey and Fitchett fielded shrply despite the rough diamond. Dalbney showed improvement in his work at first base. Driver and Lewis got the on1y clean hits made by the visitors.

Thirty ye-a.rs ago the .person wh boughit a refrigerator was supposed to be a man well off in this world, but now how different. people of all clas ses an'd conditions realize they must have a refrigeraetor n-ow, and also t:bat they must have a dry air refigerator, none of those old sweat boxes of thir ty years ago -for them, for they then had nothing but boxes. Next was in troduced the sideboard refrigerator with -water tank and even this was not a refrigerator, it was only a side-. board with a water cellar and sweat box inside. No one k-new then t-hat ;ou eauld -pu.t milk, butter, cheese, pepper salt and cantelopes, all in one compartmen't a-nd never h.ave t<hem taste one of the other, but now all the 'best and up-to-date ref-frigerators are positively dry air, whier-e you can not onl'y keep the food mentioned abore but can -keep m'at'ehes on paw der !perfectliy dry for months. Not only so, but a good -dry air ref rigera tor wil-l if full o-f ice, dry out a wet hadkerhief in a very short time by the circulation of cold dry air, this looks -unreasonable, but it is fact and oi be proven.
